GeminiRising79 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 What's your favorite Rush concert shirt? I love these old t-shirts, even the bootleg ones from Pakistan(sometimes they're nicer than the real ones). Remember the hemispheres one with A,G,&N flanked by marijuana leaves, lol? My first Rush shirts were two versions of the Moving Pictures tour shirts. One was the basic-looking MP baseball shirt and the other version was very unusual. I remember it as being black with only about three colors constructed in a pattern of dots..very abstract & basic looking, but nice (anyone know which one I'm talking about?). My all time favorite is the orange hemispheres transfer on the black shirt. I used to own one, but it was too small for me. I recently just missed an auction for an XL of this shirt...aaargh!

greg2112 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Signals New World Tour shirt. Baseball jersey, black sleeves. First rush tour shirt from the first - and best - rush show i ever attended. Alas, its long gone. My other favorite shirt was from the same tour, from the radio city run, also gone. Black sleeveless tee with the dog in front, new world tour and map on back, with the dates and a big red SOLD OUT across. I've tried to see if this one was on ebay or on an archive site, but obviously its incredible rare. I really wish the backstage club would start selling the standard black tour shirt again, not that ugly newfangled one they just put up with the euro dates on back).

Queen of Megadon Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 my first was a black sleeveless from the Grace Under Pressure (warmup) Tour. The p/g was glow in the dark pink I have two now...a black with red sleeves baseball shirt from Vapor Trails...i have worn that to death. and the R30 button front baseball jersey black/red/grey accenting I LOVE that shirt my brother and I had purchased them (we each got one) at Jones Beach if I recall, and then went to the PNC show wearing them--we got LOTS of thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I was always partial to my Grace Under Pressure shirt. Too partial; I wore that poor sucker out. There's a company that will make quilts out of old concert tees (or whatever). I wish this had been possible a few years ago, because I would have purchased spares just for the purpose of having one of those quilts. (I realize that the concept is probably more attractive to a female fan!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do that with my red HYF shirt if I only still had it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 First Rush concert and T-shirt from the Permanent Waves tour where I saw them in Hamilton, ON at Ivor Wynn Stadium (aka I never win - haha TI-Cats). Fave was moving pictures... felt like we fans were on top of the world back then (still are, but felt back then like our secret club finally got noticed).

PuppetKing2112 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 First Rush shirt was a generic starman one I got when I was like 13 from some website like bandtees.com or something like that. First concert shirt was the R30 one with the dragon. Favorite Rush shirt is an ancient Power Windows Tour 85-86 one that has the album art on the front and tourdates on the back. I think I traded a guy a few concert boots for it because he had some old shirts he wanted to get rid of. He had a Presto one he gave me too. This has to be 5 years ago. My mom hates that shirt because it's so thin and worn-out and she thinks the guy on the front looks like a heroin addict, but I love it and still wear it.

fritz44 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well I have been the proud owner of 4 Rush tour T's. The first was a red Starman T from the Hemispheres tour (Didn't like the actual Hemispheres shirt too much). It quickly faded to a pinkish shirt, but the logo was still intact - loved it. Next was a PW tour T. Can only remember that it was grey, and had the tour dates on the back. Next came a Signals tour T. The amount of people that asked what the shirt was about was unbelievable. I mean a dog standing beside a hydrant, what more signal do you need? Finally, purchased a Hemet and Swords T from the S&A tour. Don't wear it much and I don't really know why!

Weakly Criminal Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 My favorite is A Farewell To Kings, with the crowned skull. The best looking is probably the Rush in Rio shirt though, the colors and stuff are just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 My favorite T-shirt was my first, a Grace Under Pressure baseball jersey, with black 3/4 length sleeves, the album cover on the front, and dates on the back. I wore it first thing out of the wash, everytime. It was ripped off my back during a playful water fight, which had turned violent. And... holy crap, The Backstage Club has the shirt again! (Only with the egg/vise design on the back instead of tourdates.)

Yeah I had 3 of the shirts you had (don't have a S&A's shirt). I liked the Hemispheres shirt but they had sold out by the time I got to the merch stall. I also had the 2112/ATWAS UK tour shirt from '77 & the AFTK UK tour shirt from '78 Don't have any of them now.................DOH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdog Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 First shirt was the same as GeddyRulz above. I loved that shirt and eventually, literally, wore it out. It was a prized possession without a doubt. About 10 years ago, the wife threw out (without my knowledge) all of my old tour shirts from GUP to CP. I was PISSED! I think my fave is my VT shirt simply for sentimental reasons: The band I loved and thought was dead was triumphantly rising like a Phoenix, rocking the house and sounding better than ever. Damn, it was good to see them again on that tour. It was like an old, dear friend that you hadn't seen in years coming by for a visit. It was so great. Yup, my VT shirt is my fave.

StuartBruce Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I recall a friend of mine wearing a starman and RUSH sweatshirt from PeW I think and the graphic was in a phased rainbow. To this day I have never seen another one. I still have my clabberboard MP, my White HYF and R30. Can only just squeeze the first one on and don't want to because of its fragility, wear my R30 most because only other RUSH fans will know what it is.
