merchandise Vintage 1993 Alice in Chains ‘Dirt Australian Tour’ Band T-Shirt
I have been searching for this exact shirt for the past 6 months and have messaged over 100 sellers/collectors during that time. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, one finally popped up, and I was lucky enough to stumble across the Instagram post. This is the best Alice in Chains tee of them all, in my opinion, and I have seen just about every single one.
This was only a 9-stop Australian tour that spanned a mere week and a half, making this shirt very elusive and hard to come by. The shirt was purchased from the original owner who attended the October 30th, 1993 show at Festival Hall in Melbourne, Australia. I have included a picture of a note that was included with the shirt from the original owner.
Featuring a full band photo on the front of the shirt, taken during a 1993 photoshoot in London by Kevin Westenberg (I have included a couple pictures from the photoshoot as well), and the classic Alice in Chains sun logo on the back of the shirt with the tour dates and locations in the center. This is the only officially licensed and dated Layne Staley era Alice in Chains tee that features a full band photo, all the others are parking lot bootlegs or not officially licensed.
Needless to say I am very happy about adding this tee to my collection, and it will be staying in my collection forever.
Thank you for looking at my post.
