hard to find maiden "somewhere in time" tour tee

year: 1987

material: 50/50 cotton-polyester blend
condition: very good
value: $250.00

*note: saw them live in the late 80's at what used to be called Irvine Meadows. amazing time in my life. good friends. good times. when you could still party in the parking lot before the show. which was almost as fun as the concert itself.

Dynasty Tour 1979

file under: the final curtain


rare bootleg of the ill-fated Dynasty tour
year: 1979
tag: jockey 
material: 100% cotton
condition: good
value: $150.00

*note: by 1979 tensions in the band were at an all-time high. ace and peter's years of drinking and drugging had taken their toll. peter would leave the band at the end of the tour and kiss would never be the same again. signaling the end of an era and my childhood. teenage rebellion and punk rock were just around the corner.
