Where I grew up, on a farm in Eastern Oregon, there was a pipeline 
for an irrigation project that came out a few miles away. Metal pipe, 
8ft diameter, about 50 miles long. In high school, we used to take 
instruments, battery-powered amps, tape decks, etc, as far into the 
pipe as we dared and play/record. We never really knew when water may 
be run through, so there was always some element of risk. Great 
acoustics, though.
