Sunshine Festival
In the summer of 1975, Showco brought its world-class sound to the Sunshine Festival, providing reinforcement for several artists on the bill. A team of Showco engineers was on the ground with the gear that helped define the era's live concert experience. This page honors the crew members who worked the festival and the equipment that made it all possible.
Every photo, pass, and piece of memorabilia here comes from the people who were there. If you were part of the Showco crew at Sunshine Festival '75—or have artifacts or memories to share—I'd love to hear from you.
