The Rolling Stones 1981 USA Tour

The 1981 USA tour by The Rolling Stones was the highest grossing tour event that year although originally Mick Jagger was reluctant to tour at all. Interestingly, the band played a 'low-key' warm up in Massachussets billed as Little Boy Blue and the Cockroaches. The L.A. Coliseum show featured on this fantastic vintage concert jersey t-shirt included a little known artist on the bill - Prince - who (according to Wikipedia) was booed from the stage after only two songs. Versions of this t-shirt appear regularly in vintage collections and feature in quite a few publications about vintage rock t-shirts. Each individual city & venue was printed on the back of the shirt and sold at the appropriate location. An added bonus is an actual 1981 tour program!
