Welcome back to 1981 and the second installment of my band shirts of the 80s blog series. I'm starting off our trip back in time with this Rolling Stones 1981 North American tour shirt supporting their album Tattoo You. The Stones US tour was the highest grossing tour of 1981. The shirt to the left is my favorite shirt from that tour but here are a few other 1981 Rolling Stones shirts, shirt #793, shirt #932, shirt #772 and shirt #358.
I think I'm going to have to include a Grateful Dead shirt in all of my shirts of the 80s blogs; the 80s where huge for them and their shirts never disappoint. Here is a 1981 Grateful Dead shirt.
Other sweet shirts from 1981: Jefferson Starship Modern Times shirt #1124. Cool Tom Petty shirt from Hard Promises tour, shirt #1398, The copyright says Top Petty. I'm curious, was it designed by Petty himself? Lastly, I think 1981 was a big year for thermal, here is a Styx thermal shirt from their Paradise Theater show. I wonder why we don't see thermal very often anymore.
