1980s

Located at 2111 Commerce St in Downtown, Dallas, TX and only open from 09/14/1985-04/11/1986, Circle A Ranch was a punk venue for touring acts like The Butthole Surfers, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Samhain, Stickmen with Rayguns, Corrosion of Conformity, Rigor Mortis, Scratch Acid, Killdozer, Tex & the Horseheads, The Mentors, JFA, Poison 13, New York Dolls’ Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain, DRI. Pretty amazing six months that make this shirt so collectible

ORIGINAL TOUR SHIRT FROM DEPECHE MODE

BLACK CELEBRATION TOUR 1986

THIS HAS THE DEPECHE MODE DATED COPYRIGHT

Purchased at Concert at Will Rogers Coliseum, Ft. Worth, TX (June 23, 1986)

Unlike the many various versions that have been made now,

this one originally purchased in 1985 has the band name in olive (not green, dark green, or light green) and, noticeably is stretched the length of album image (unlike other reproductions that have name off-centered or have the band name across top or print the wrong direction or 4 LP images). Original silkscreen was only green & black (no grey).Might have been manufactured in the UK since we sold a lot of imports at the store I worked.

1984 genuine AC/DC t-shirt from Donnington Park, Monsters of Rock Festival UK. Front and back print with iconic AC/DC design on the front and the tour dates on the back. Stored carefully for many years and still looks great. No rips, Tears or holes. So an amazing looking survivor.

Bronx Zoo 1980

t-shirt smooth fabric 5050 and vintage tag sreen stars white

Purchased at the Aztlan Theater in Denver in ’86(?). The left shoulder is ripped out and held together with a safety pin. How punk. The whole shirt is there, and the image is still strong.

Purchased at the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, 1986. Henry specifically told us not to stage dive. Some people called this show “Spinal Flag”.The pit is ripped out a bit. Quite literally a pit rip.

From an early 80s Rainbow Music Hall show in Denver. This shirt is pretty thrashed in the back

Purchased at Red Rocks in Colorado in 1984. Removed sleeves. Otherwise it’s in near mint condition.

I went to Joe Cocker’s concert in 1988 and got this original t-shirt.It has some spots on it and a couple of small holes toward the bottom and a small rip in the side seam.

Denver’s own pranksters. Morrissey, George Peppard and Andreas Vollenweider were also targets. Originally had sleeves. I shall never part with this.
