Average White Band Staff Laminate 1977
Average White Band Staff Laminate 1977
A staff laminate from Average White Band's 1977 tour, sourced directly from the personal archive of Bill 'Doc' Gans — SHOWCO sound engineer who worked alongside some of the most celebrated acts of the funk and rock era.
Average White Band were at the peak of their powers in 1977 — riding the success of Person to Person and their Atlantic Records run, delivering tight, groove-driven live shows that rivaled anything on the circuit. This bold black laminate, bearing the iconic AWB logo, was worn by working crew on those tours. A striking piece of road history from one of the era's most underrated live acts.
Shows age-appropriate wear consistent with road use. Clip intact.
