SHOWCO / University of Texas at Austin Special Events Center Badge – Bill Gans
SHOWCO / University of Texas at Austin Special Events Center Badge – Bill Gans
An original pin-back venue credential badge from The University of Texas at Austin Special Events Center — issued to Bill 'Doc' Gans of SHOWCO, sourced directly from his personal archive.
This gold-toned badge features a striking silhouette illustration of the UT Austin Special Events Center arena with "Bill Gans" and "SHOWCO" handwritten at the top — a venue credential that placed Doc at the heart of one of the premier concert facilities in the American Southwest. The Special Events Center hosted some of the biggest touring acts of the 1970s, and SHOWCO — based in Dallas — was the sound company of choice for many of them.
