Old t-shirts
« on: July 14, 2007, 11:32:32 pm »
I was chatting with a friend last night and the subject of old tour t-shirts cropped up.  Got me thinking about how many old concert shirts I have got hanging around:

Metallica '93
Crowded House ' 92
Guns n Roses '92
Nirvana '91
The La's '90

Squeeze - undated but I think around '91

Oldest surviving Le Mans shirt - '96

Anyone else keeping hold of ancient items of clothing or is it just me that cant throw them out??

Strangely I also have U2 Zoo TV Tour condoms '92 (well past their use by date!)

I still have my Cities in the Park T-shirt from the Madchester days 89 or 90, Inspirals, La's, Mondays, 808 state etc. Lm wise I still have a Stefan Johhansson Gulf T shirt from some years back that I blagged off a mate. Oldest item of clothing must be a Lombard Rally scarf that i've had since 1983 and still use in winter (or june as its now known!) Quite a rock chick collection of T's there Fran.

LOL - these are the ones that have somehow survived {probably deep wardrobe syndrome} - lots more that have worn out and been lost over the years.

I think it might have been shortly after this period that I stopped buying any more - didnt stop me attending the gigs tho!

I'm still cherishing (hardly wearing, it's pailing a bit now) my '92 Dire Straits t-shirt, as it was the first real concert I've attended, and so also the first tour t-shirt I bought.

And ofcourse 'cause they're one of the best bands in the world. ;)

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?

Just to prove that I am both old and sad (as though such were needed) - I have Fairport Convention Cropredy Festival t-shirts for every year since 1979!

As I do a bit crewing work at my local arena, I had loads of tour shirts, most of which are for local crew and therefore not available in the shops. As they were just taking up space, I've sold a few on ebay, gave a lot away and the rest have been claimed by my son. My latest one for Rod Stewart from the other week was found to be cut in half with my wife using it for a duster. Cliff Richard shirt anyone?

Steve Brown. How dare you suggest that a garment bearing the name of the almighty god of soft pop- THE exalted lord of Cliff-ness is not worthy of a place in your wardrobe!  As a fellow christian zealot I take great offence at your attitude and will be reporting your hurtfull actions to the moderators!
 And on a Sunday too- the day of the good Cliff himself. Shame on you and your household!
