Elvis Costello & The Attractions / Mink DeVille / Nick Lowe with Rockpile Stage Pass Laminate – Doc Gans

An original Stage Pass laminate from a multi-act bill featuring Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Mink DeVille, and Nick Lowe with Rockpile — sourced directly from the personal archive of Bill 'Doc' Gans, SHOWCO sound engineer who worked alongside some of the biggest names in rock and roll throughout the 1970s and '80s.

This laminate is a rare artifact from one of the most critically celebrated touring lineups of the New Wave era. Elvis Costello, Mink DeVille, and Nick Lowe with Rockpile were all at the height of their powers during this period — a shared bill that represents a genuine moment in rock history. Stage Pass laminates granted access to the stage itself, worn only by the innermost circle of touring crew. Multi-act laminates like this are especially scarce — a single piece that documents an entire touring ecosystem.
