Nazareth — On the Road with Showco (1975–1979)
Nazareth’s first run with Showco was pure, unfiltered rock & roll. From 1975 to 1979, the crew behind the music made every show possible—late nights, loud rigs, and lifelong friendships. These photos and artifacts capture the energy of those early tours, as remembered by the people who lived it.
If you have photos, stories, or memorabilia from these years, I’d love to add them to the archive—reach out and help preserve this piece of Showco history.
