James Taylor 1979 Tour Analysis Sheet – Original SHOWCO Document
James Taylor 1979 Tour Analysis Sheet – Original SHOWCO Document
An original tour analysis sheet from the James Taylor 1979 tour, sourced from the personal archive of Bill 'Doc' Gans — SHOWCO sound engineer and James Taylor's engineer on the road.
Tour analysis sheets were internal production documents created by SHOWCO themselves — compiled by the crew to track logistics, technical requirements, and show-by-show data across a tour run. SHOWCO developed and maintained these forms as part of their own production workflow, making them a direct artifact of the company's legendary operational precision. This is a behind-the-scenes piece that collectors rarely encounter — the kind of working document that kept a major touring operation running smoothly in the pre-digital era.
A fascinating piece of rock and roll infrastructure history, preserved from one of James Taylor's most celebrated touring years.
