Show off your love for classic rock 'n' roll with this vintage 1989 concert tour t-shirt from The Cult's "Sonic Temple" tour. This unisex graphic tee features the iconic album artwork on a black 50/50 cotton-polyester blend fabric, making it both comfortable and stylish. The shirt is in excellent vintage condition and has a chest size of 46-48 inches, with a shoulder-to-hem length of 28 inches. This original Spring Ford Classic Sportswear t-shirt is a must-have for any fan of The Cult or vintage concert tees. It's perfect for both men and women in size XL, with a short sleeve design and a shoulder-to-shoulder length of 20 inches. Made in the USA in 1989 for The Cult's Sonic Temple tour concert that I attended at the Baltimore Arena, this version of this classic t-shirt is COPYRIGHT "The Cult" - seen on the bottom right of the front tee graphic - whereas others have no copyright details. It would make a great addition to any vintage clothing collection or for fans of The Cult. ------------- HEAVY WALL OF HORRORS: A T-Shirt Side Story: First making a pit stop to buy this t-shirt, after the concert we naturally went to Hammerjacks, because back then that's just what you did if you lived here in Baltimore (well, sometimes you'd end up at The Rage, but that's a whole different sort of story)..... Members of The Cult showed up to party at the legendary club as well. I specifically remember spying current Guns 'n' Roses drummer Matt Sorum, who played for The Cult back then, being hounded for autographs. In the chaos, I noticed the fawning girls fumbling about to find a pen. I had one, so I interjected my pen-holding hand into the scene to offer it up. A short line had formed by then, so I had given up on getting it back and proceeded to focus my attention back on my friends. A short time later I noticed Sir Sorum turn back towards us, checking to see if there were any other crazed fans looking for him to sign their bev naps. It was explosively loud in the club, so I silently re-extended my arm and held my hand out to signal, please return my pen. Oblivious, he says, "Did you want an autograph?" Hahaha! I was like, "No dude, just my pen." He laughed, handed it back to me, and that was the end of our interaction - and my memory of that evening as I couldn't drink my way out of the hangover I had from the night before. Surely, if we hadn't had tickets to that concert ahead of time, I'd likely have not attended after sharing a full handle of vodka and chilled sloe gin shots (nasty) while with "HMC" (aka Heavy Metal Chick) having been lured to her apartment for free drinks. Much later, I somehow stumbled back downstairs where I had been camping out for weeks on my best friend's floor. With her roommate gone for several weeks, I had passed out across her bed instead that night. Thinking back on it now, I don't remember much else from the night of The Cult concert, or for a few days after that. (Well, apart from taunting HMC about her goofy wall of posters, specifically Kip Winger, I mean, come on!) It was a week-long hangover that only time could cure. Sometimes it's hard to believe I made it out of those years alive. Do you have your own story or anecdote about The Cult, the concert, or other crazy '80s antics to share?
