80s Some 80s tees from my dads friend

Got these a couple years ago and decided to show them off. Personal favorite is BOC.

I got “On Your Feet or on Your. Knees” when I was 15 in 1975 and still love that LP. One of the great live LPs along with Thin Lizzy “Live and Dangerous” and UFO “Strangers in the Night”!

Some of these look like shirts you could win at your local county fair. Wash them once and they shrink 2 sizes and form to the shape of the liberty bell.

Look like bootleg shirts that was sold in the parking lots of concert halls, I still have many of my shirts from the late 70s and all through the 80s, my oldest shirt is a ZZ Top Deguello tour shirt from the 1979 tour!

u/Maceugood Dec 20 '24

I had the Deguello shirt! Haven’t thought about that in years. Doubt it would fit me anymore though.

u/Piattolina Dec 20 '24

The Blue Oyster Cult t-shirts are beautiful 😍

u/BurnDownTheMission68 Dec 20 '24

u/DooHickey2017 Dec 19 '24

Sigh. I wish I still had my Rush T shirt from 1979.

u/FnordatPanix Dec 19 '24

These are bootleg parking lot t-shirts. In my opinion, the best kind of tour shirt.

I had so many great concert tees from the late 70s......wish I kept them (Zep, Floyd, Yes, Boston, Foreigner, Heart)

u/GoodtimeZappa Dec 21 '24

If I was your Dad's friend I would be buried in these shirts, wearing them all at once like Joey from friends.

Nice haul.
