That's cool - definitely something to hold onto! :)
My first ever concert was when my dad took me to see Springsteen in 1988 I think (I was 6 or 7!) and got the Tunnel Of Love shirt. Same thing when we all saw Phil Collins a couple years later. Too bad they don't fit now, but I'll always hold onto 'em!

I still have a black Skid Row shirt from 1989 with the self titled album cover on the front & Youth Gone Wild on the back. I wore that thing to death & it's now grey(almost white) & the print is almost worn off it. It's also way too smal & tight l, yes i even tried putting it on recently in front of my girlfriend & she almost wet herself with laughter. I'm not sure where all my other shirts & stuff of that nature got to though. The Skid Row shirt is the only thing i could find aswell as a 1988 Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction bandana. One other thing i still have from back then is a big Motley Crue Dr Feelgood poster with the cartoon face that's half a skull & at the bottom of the poster it says World Tour 89/90. Yeah i remember when those t-shirts ranged from $24 to $27 here in Australia. I recently went into a music/alternative culture store here in Melbourne & the t-shirts were selling from between $40 & $45. An absolute rip off considering the t-shirts from back then were made with & printed on much thicker & better quality cotton. The shirts now are so thin in comparisin, so i have no idea why we're paying more for poorer quality.

EEuugh..
I went to Motorhead last November... and paid 22 Pounds for a t-shirt. The 'bastards' shirt. 22 pounds is about 35-36 bucks.

I have a few-Bob Dylan (even though the shirt says "Dylan and the Dead" and I didn't see the Dead :\'( ), Meatloaf, and Tull (which I got about 2 years ago so I don't think that counts). I also have a t-shirt from Journey which I did not go to. I know I have the ticket stubs somewhere (because I NEVER throw anything away ::) ). The only one that I KNOW where it is, is the ticket stub from seeing Loverboy.

Was that the one where they are supporting Motley Crue or was it strictly a Motorhead show. I think that's a weird lineup Motorhead & Motley Crue. ??? It should be Motley Crue that are supporting Motorhead not the other way around. Anyway my girlfriend bought tickets for the Motor/Motley show but i don't think it's till December here in Australia. She's going mainly for Motley Crue but she still likes Motorhead aswell. I'm only going because i wanna see Motorhead. I was kinda over Motley Crue by the early 90s, but i'll never get over Motorhead. Motorhead all the way, F*** YEAH

It was a one off show in England, just before the anniversary tour.

;D Great guys!..Im glad Im not the only one who keeps everything! I even bought a laminating machine and did all my stubs then put them in a photo albumn. Recently I thought about taking all my old shirts..since they cant be worn that much they are soo old, anyway I thought about having them made into a quilt..I saw one at a international brotherhood of electrical workers reunion and it took my breath away..Of course I need a really good seamstress cause I cant sew at all...Well..maybe a button!

I still have most of my tour-shirts, and I've laminated those of the tickets I still have, mostly metal and hard rock, so they'll last forever.

The only one I still have that I know of is my King Diamond Fatal Portrait tour shirt. Think it had orange sleeves....or were they black?
Some lady in a magazine had taken a lot of her son's old concert tee's and turned them in to pillows. I thought that was kinda cool. Not sure I'd want to do that to mine though, I still wear them.
Geez...all this Motorhead talk. I've not seen them in three years I think? When they toured with Maiden & Dio. Great show! Motorhead really does a great show!
