About SHOWCO & This Tour The 1978 Genesis World Tour was one of the most technically ambitious rock productions of its era — and SHOWCO was at the heart of it. The Dallas-based production company was the gold standard for large-scale concert sound and lighting in the 1970s and '80s, trusted by the biggest acts in the world. For Genesis, SHOWCO delivered the massive, immersive audio experience that brought the band's intricate prog-rock arrangements to life in arenas across North America and Japan. The laser effects, the precision mix, the sheer scale of the rig — that was SHOWCO's signature. JW Roberts was part of that crew, working the tour firsthand and helping execute one of the decade's most celebrated live productions.
Condition: Used/Vintage. Shows honest wear consistent with age and use — includes visible creasing along the spine and center fold, light surface scuffing and tear on the cover, minor spotting on interior pages, and general toning throughout. All pages present and intact. A solid example of a rare piece of Genesis touring history.
From the personal collection of SHOWCO crew alum JW Roberts.
