Let's spread some musical misinformation

Along that same line, Led Zeppelin is well known for their long list of all original songs, many of which were later copied, back dated, and released by other bands as prequels to the LZ tracks. Consequently this creates much confusion as to which artist rendition actually came first. In all cases the LZ rendition is the original.
 
The very first Ampeg SVT amplifier was placed on a military cargo plane and affixed with a parachute and release at 10,000 Ft over the Warner brothers lot in 1969 landing in front of a unused soundstage where the Rolling Stones were rehearsing for their 1st American tour. This stunt proved to the world that the Ampeg SVT was more than ready for anything the road could dish out.

The rest my friends is history

Actually the story I heard was that it was dropped in a Tubes concert and from that time on was referred to as a tube amp. Prior to that they were called rectifier amps.
