An original, complete concert program from Jackson Browne's iconic Running on Empty Summer Tour, 1977 — one of the most celebrated live music events of the decade. All pages included.
This full program, sourced from the personal collection of SHOWCO monitor engineer Bill 'Doc' Gans, is presented here in its entirety — cover through interior — so you can see exactly what you're getting before it arrives. Doc was behind the monitor board for every show on this tour, and famously appears in the Running on Empty music video as the guy on the skateboard in the SHOWCO shirt. This program comes directly from his hands.
The Running on Empty album was recorded live on the road during this very tour — in hotel rooms, on tour buses, and on stage at the venues listed in the itineraries from this same collection. Every piece of ephemera from this run is a document of one of rock's most ambitious and beloved live recording projects.
The program's sepia-toned portrait of Browne on the cover captures him at the height of his powers — young, intense, and on the verge of releasing what would become one of the best-selling live albums in history.
