I saw @Widget revived the fantastic Concert/Gig Posters! thread, and while I don't have many posters I do have a load of Tour T-shirts picked up at various gigs across the years. Rather than clog up the Concert/Gig Poster thread I thought I would make this thread and add some here. I figure even if im the only one to post every few days I have enough to keep it alive for a while :ROFLMAO:

These are what i have.....double stacked with more at the back.

#4: Last long sleeves

Left: Really enjoyed Alestorm as a preteen, though I have yet to listen to their music since. Saw this for really cheap at a vinyl / music event and picked it up. Probably my favorite long-sleeve just because of how nice it feels.

Middle: Radiohead - Hail to the Thief. Listened to a couple of songs off of this an infinite amount of times as a kid. Saw it for like $40 on Depop and picked it up there.

Right: My first piece of Clarence Clarity merch. Has a few holes in it but I'd never throw it away. Was sold on his webstore for a limited time.

#5: Hoodies

Left: Other piece of Clarence Clarity merch. It was my favorite hoodie for a while, and it's still really nice, but I got this new one from one of Kevin Abstract's fashion brands and it's incredible. This one was also sold on his webstore but is now gone.

Right: Death Grips hoodie. I don't listen to them much anymore, but I really fucked with the design on this. I think it's still available online.

I've got that Clarence merch too, his designs are always crazy good. Also got a Steroids-themed DG hoodie that I depressingly don't know where I put, which is a shame because that was the comfiest hoodie I've ever had in my life.
 
While I do like band t-shirts I generally stay away from tour shirts - just a weird preference of mine, I tend not to like their specifically dated nature. That being said, when I saw the R.E.M. was selling original tour shirts from the first concert I ever went to, I had to pick one up.

Bear Monster Originals Tee

“Monster Bear Originals Tour Tee from the band’s 1995 World Tour printed on a Black, 100% cotton tee.” Crewneck R.E.M. OriginalsOriginals are from the HQ vaults. These shirts are decades old classics, just recently unboxed. These shirts are the genuine artifacts.

I was initially a little skeptical that these were genuine 25-year-old shirts that had been dug out of a warehouse, but having received mine I can vouch for its authenticity. I had to run it through the laundry 3 times before it stopped smelling.

Man, I have so much regret for not picking up a shirt looking back at some of the great tours I've attended. And I also miss some awesome shirts I bought in my teens/20's that I threw away.

That being said, I happen to be wearing this today:

#2: The rest of this below is just official merch I've bought.

Left: Massive Attack - Mezzanine '98 Tour Shirt replica. Was available on the bands webstore for a while but it looks to be sold out now.

Right: Jeff MangumJ hand drawn shirt. I believe he sold this at his solo shows earlier this decade. Were definitely available on his webstore earlier this year but it now seems to be sold out too.

I have a ton of tour/band shirts...I'll be posting a lot of them. I used to have even more, but lost about 20 when they were stolen at a laundromat. The one I regret losing the most was a Massive Attack Eurochild I bought on the Protection tour...it was perfect!
I've even searched for a vintage replacement, but no luck so far.
 
Although this shirt fits a tad small, it’s my favorite tour shirt I own. Love how it’s specific to the date and Minnesota. Plus it was the first time I experienced Ween live (got into them around the time of their unfortunate hiatus/breakup)

Little Simz, Stillness in Wonderland Tour, The 02 Arena, London, UK, 05/12/2017 & Somerset House, 12/07/2018

Following on from my last post I saw Little Simz twice, as an opener for Gorillaz in 2017 and The Roots 2018. Fantastic musician and seems like an all-round nice person from the interviews I have seen.
