How about as the next monthly contest... Win the shirts!

OK, so I'm not looking to just give them away. I actually like them and they have sentimental value. So if it came down to a random drawing where some "lucky winner" gets the shirts I've held onto for 24 years, no thanks. I get they were never really "mine" to begin with, but if I'm going to bid them adieu, I'd it to be in a slightly more meaningful way than "Wow, cool, the Ten Club wheel of fortune landed on "Deepismyfavoritesong2009."" ... I emailed tenclub and we'll see what they have to say. Thx for all the feedback!!

Shit, deepismyfavoritesong2009 is my other user ID.

I'm just hoping these were washed... Ed and Jeff's balled up sweat for 24 years...

Whoa, Speed Racer!

Loved me some speed in early elementary school back in the late 70s when I used to run home from the bus stop to catch it on TV around 3:30pm or so. That damn Chim Chim though

Well... Since it's the property of the band shouldn't they get to decide what happens to it?

I think it's been far to long to validate who's tshirts they really were unless Ed can look at the tag on the shirt and remember what Tshirt he was wearing 25 years ago:) if they are really theyre shirts then yes that is pretty cool
But I honestly think there is no way to really know. It's Possible the James brown Tshirt would be easiest to authenticate ownership. Just my opinion:)

I guess if I knew the band was behind the effort/idea, I'd be up for whatever. And I do get a kick out of some of these self-righteous posts, as I'm certain that, given the circumstances, all of you would have walked past that truck and left those shirts where they were. I was 21 and singing in a band that was already covering PJ, and had just walked out of a show that I knew was something to be remembered. A show that, on paper, shouldn't even have happened. I mean these guys weren't ready to sell out stadiums yet, but they were certainly bigger than a dank little (former) gymnasium in Lowell, MA. The show was sold out (I think 500 tickets sold) but I had a friend who was working security who got me in the door. Eddie was everything you see in those early videos (and still is) - fiery, passionate, angst-ridden, and prone to jumping into the crowd, which he did a handful of times, once right over my head. We walked down the stairs and they were loading up a bunch of stuff into this box truck and I saw this ball of stuff sitting on the edge. Had it been anything truly valuable I wouldn't even have considered it, but owning those T-shirts was a no-brainer for me. Now put yourself outside the stadium of your most recent show. You're walking along and there behind the tour bus is a plaid shirt with the sleeves cut off - it's all too familiar, as you just saw one of your idols wearing it on stage. Hmmmmmm ...

nope. would not have stolen someone's clothes. have never given a shit about famous people's stuff, nor will I ever. sorry. it's not self righteous. some just might find it odd.

You're right Dreamer, and without the JB T, I wouldn't even bother with all this. But I think that it's unique enough that one of the guys will remember it and we'll be one step closer to authentication.

maybe try to contact the Ten Club?

Thank you! I will try that!

Yeah, definitely this. I bet Tim or Kevin would help find a home for them.

maybe the next issue of Deep.

I was hoping they'd chop em' up and create some 'jersey' card inserts at the next baseball park show. @tempo_n_groove

You get me so well. That would be AMAZING!!!

Well that's just where we differ. I am a clothes pilferer by nature. Still holding out for some pajamas. How cool would Pearl Jammies be??!

I don't think that is Eddie's MTV Unplugged shirt..it was more of a army green almost brownish..I think he wrote No Bush 1992 on it during SNL..but can't say for sure.

I would love some pearl jammies. prefereably with the trap door in the back so I don't have to take them off in the middle of the night after too much whiskey and taco bell.

Okum

You should contact Kevin at 10c, he is the one that used all of his stuff in recent deep magazine. His email is probably Kevin@tenclub or Kevins@tenclub

The shirt I have looks much darker in the pic than it actually is. In real life it is the same brownish clay color as you see in in all the old pictures and videos. Fact is, Eddie probably had A BUNCH of these over the years, as evident in video/images from Unplugged, SNL, Even flow video, Pinkpop, Rolling Stone, etc. So I guess I should rephrase the "strong possibility" part of my initial post. Fact is, the is a possibility Eddie wore this shirt for Unplugged and/or Even Flow, and who knows what else, but it's also possible he had 25 of these shirts and the one I have is just another of the many. BTW, SNL and Pinkpop both took place after April 6, 1992 so he definitely wasn't wearing it for those events.

MUZIK

Not for nothing EV wears the same clothes thru out then whole tour even back to back nights. So it wouldn't surprise me if this is the same shirt he wore in unplugged.

I mean how many times has he wore that Clemente t shirt already?

Nope not MTV (that would be even better of course), just the show @ UMass Lowell that we attended. Still pretty great though.
