I was looking through some drawers and came across a concert tee-shirt from 32 years ago!

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, Touring North America 1977

It was at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The World Series of Rock. Peter Frampton was the headliner but I was all about Bob Seger.

The tee-shirt is pink and size small..... ah, memories.... sigh....

Anyone else have an old concert tee-shirt?

Funny you mention that, I have 100's of concert tee shirts!  Hubby's been a union stage hand since 1979.  In the 80's and early 90's he worked at a major concert venue (Pine Knob in Clarkston, Michigan).  He's got tee shirts from every one from Dora the Explorer to Marilyn Manson.  Some of his favorites he's worn a bit, but I've saved every one of them.  I have them stored in plastic bins in basement.  One of these days I should get busy and inventory them.  I'd estimate there's about 400 to 500 of them - quite a collection!

So you are a Seger fan? Me too.  I have a strange 'stalking Seger' story you might enjoy... About 15 years ago, one Saturday morning a friend and I were picking up a boat motor I'd had repaired.  While I was at the counter paying, Bob Seger walked in.  I didn't initially recognize him, but later realized who he was.  We made some small talk about the weather, I told him I was a fan, we shook hands and l left.

A couple hours later I was in a nearby K-mart, check-out line, look over to the next cashier, and there was Bob Seger, buying car floor mats.  My friend and I were acting like giggling school girls, like what is the chance of that?  Bob recognized us from the marina, and just kinda nodded and smiled at us. 

Our next stop was the local Dairy Queen, down the street, where my friends 15 yr old daughter worked.  Guess who was in line in front of us?  Yup, Bob Seger.  He recognizes us once again, gives us a sheepish smile..but at this point he must have thought we were following him?  We were not, this was all pure coincidence!  He got in his car and left.

We finally get to order, and are all giggly and ask my friends daughter? "Do you know who that was?  That was BOB SEGER!  and he thinks we've been stalking him all day".  Daughter looks at us like we are completely crazy, and asks 'who is Bob Seger, is he our neighbors Grandpa'??  Ha!  Gwad did we feel like two old bags!

  • Oh my gosh, Flash, that is hysterical about you stalking Bob Seger! That is one cool story. Well, he could be someone's grandpa -- he's 64! I remembe a few years ago he was on the super bowl half-time show and my sister called me nearly in tears, bc of how old he looked. She was like what happened to him??? Uh, you know it was 30 years ago when we saw him, what did you expect? Also very cool to have all those concert tee shirts!/sulla
  • Cute segar story... and that is one pile of tee shirts you have there! JuMPer

    I didn't get it at a concert but I ordered the "We Are the World" shirt in 1985 and I just came across it the other day when I was going through some clothes.

    "The Smiths" and "Siouxie and the Banshees" from the 80s.
    "We look at danger and laugh our heads off" is what the back of the Smiths t-shirt says. I guess in the 80s we did...
