Johnm93 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Rush 1982 Signals tour. Bought at Wembley Arena. A bit knackered, to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Should still have Motorhead Ace Of Spades tour shirt from 1980 somewhere, might still have a couple of others from the same era but not quite sure what or where they are... I've recently worn my bright red Rush - Hold Your Fire tour shirt from '88. Still fits fine, which is reassuring. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Riva Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Weather Report tour shirt bought at a Brum Odeon gig in 1978. Faded grey/black fleck with black collar and sleeves with a silhouette of the four band members on the back of the shirt. It's a medium and needless to say I have absolutely no chance of being able to wear it due to the, erm, adding of a few lbs over the years..

Doctor J Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I sold all my olg gig tees on ebay a couple of years ago as there was never a realistic chance of me fitting into them ever again - I started going to gigs when I was 14, so it's not all my adult belly's fault. I made over €700. Most fun was a late bidding war over an Iron Maiden Powerslave shirt which sold for over €100. Even a knackered, ripped Slayer tee made over €60. I bought a bass with the money. Everyone's a wnner baby, that's no lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Still got my mid 90's Acid Jazz logo t-shirt...bit small these days and full of a lot of burn holes...ahem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Got a faith no more t shirt from the real thing tour in 1990. I was only 14 at that gig and shouldn't have been allowed in but my sister's mates boxed around me as we went in. I regularly gig in the suit my dad got married in back in 1968 if that counts.

super al Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Great thread, tees seem to hold great memories of gigs past for a lot of us. I went to a tiny festival last year at the railway inn, Winchester. It was the promoter's birthday and to celebrate, his daughter had sown together loads of his old tees into a giant backdrop for one of the stages. He seemed happy enough about it, I would've had a fit I reckon! I think my oldest gig tee is from 1990, the great but sadly short lived Five Thirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikenbass Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'll try to find my Going For The One 1977 tour tee shirt. Strangely no longer fits, shrank in the wash I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colgraff Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 When I moved house, I forced myself to bin my 1986 Monsters of Rock tshirt. I couldn't call it hardy as I have been too big for it for years. I was sort of hoping it would last until #1 son was of a size for it but it was starting to look a bit too mouldy.

Rich Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 My oldest shirts are my Rush 'Hold Your Fire' tour from 1988, my It Bites 'Made In Cumbria' from 1987, and my Level 42 'Standing In The Light' from 1983. I think the last one deserves a medal -- it's in one piece and entirely wearable, but alas I have expanded in the intervening 32 years whereas it has not.

Deep Thought Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I've still got my Pixies tour shirt from 1990, bought at Exeter uni a few months after seeing them at Reading. Wore it to see them at the Eden project last year. Edited November 30, 2015 by Deep Thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qlank Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Oldest one I have still wearable is a Rush Moving Pictures 1980. My Yes Drama tour 1980 is a bit threadbare. Still fit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransistorBassMan Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I've definitely still got the following: Gary Numan - Warriors Tour - 1983 Red Guitars - America And Me - 1986 The Bolshoi - Three different ones from 1987 The Planet Wilson - 1988 They're all a very snug fit these days!

dmccombe7 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Warwick Sweat shirt from 1989 after I had to return my Thumb bass to Germany because of an electronic fault. That and a box full of other goodies like strings and things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
