This would have been the highlight of my summer, if I we're lucky enough to live near one of the 22 minor league ballparks to host Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. The tour, dubbed Summerfest, kicks off on July 1st and runs for 22 stops thru August 15th traveling from the east coast to the west. This will actually be the second time this trio has teamed up to play ballparks across the nation.

Now, this is very important information for analybody who is considering going to one of the "games". Go to BobDylan.com, find your date and see if there is a presale date and password set. Not only does this allow you to get your tickets early but fans who get their tickets thru the pre-sale will be allowed into the stadiums 30 minutes early to claim their seats. This is very important sense all of the shows are general admission early.

Now the sad news, for me, I reside in Colorado where their doesn't seem to be much minor league ball, at least not enough to justify a stop on the tour. I would love to see what the shirts from this tour looks like so anybody picking one up please submit it to the archive.

Get there early, I heard all three were going to be doing a homerun derby to see who plays last.

For some reason this shirt cracked me up today when I saw it appear on the expiring soon list. I'm sure this is an old shirt but I'm just seeing it for the first time. Its a sweet George W. Bush/Green Day fan shirt.

Under normal circumstances you have to be a band of notably fame to have an announcement of canceled tour dates make major news across the country. Unless of course you happen to be an actor turned musician. After hearing about Thornton's band in the news over and over I got curious. Whats the name of his band? I don't know that [...]

Here is another great 2009 Phish Reunion Tour lot shirt. The front is a lot like the now famous Barack Obama "Hope" poster except its Trey and says "CHANGED". The back of the shirt reads "Making Up For The Past eight Years, Reunion Tour 2009".

Its a very cool shirt and the first non-Hamptons specific lot shirt that i've seen so [...]

As most of my site visitors can tell, I'm a big fan of eBay when it comes to band shirts. Flat out, there is no place else where you can find the variety of shirts that you'll find on eBay. This is mostly due to great sellers and eBay stores that go the distance to track down these rare gems and post them for sale. Its those eBay stores where I usually find great shirts to add to my collection. Most of the time I'm not even looking for them. Its when your browsing a store with hundreds of random t-shirts [...]

My 2006 "Peace Under Attack" Spearhead tour shirt is one of my favorite shirts. I get lots of positive comments on it wherever I go; usually from younger like minded people. Its a simple shirt but it makes a powerful statement. On a recent trip through US customs in Houston TX I even got a comment, a positive one. The customs agent, a man in his [...]
