Sonic Youth/fIREHOSE T-Shirt 1986
 

Sonic Fans,
I found this shirt when i was moving. I bought it of of ebay from lou barlow's sister, abbey barlow. Lou is rumoured to have worn it when he played with dinosaur in the north east. I thought some of you might enjoy!

wow, awesome shirt,
welcome to the board!

A unique Sonic Youth T-shirt like that is yeah, very cool.

The picture makes me wonder how that stain happened.
I'm not being condescending, all of my Sonic Youth tees end up with holes that begin with cigarette burns hehe.

The Flaming Telepaths tour leg ran for three weeks at the end of '86 from Halloween at Bard College (I have this dated as 10/30 instead of 10/31) to November 23, at Hampshire College in Amherst.

I have the following shows from this tour leg:
10/30/86 Klein Commons Bard College Annandale-on-Hudson
11/02/86 The Blind Pig Ann Arbor, MI
11/03/86 Mississippi Nights St. Louis, MO
11/09/86 Knights Of Columbus Baton Rouge, LA (incomplete)
11/22/86 Irving Plaza NYC

I would like to trade for any fIREHOSE opening sets.
The closest I have is an '88 fIREHOSE FM.

Isn't "Flaming Telepaths" a BÖC tune?

Welcome.

Yeah, and Watt regularly joined SY on Star Power and also on The Red & The Black, a Blue Oyster Cult song that was covered around five times.

Veryoldstereo, is that you or lou's sister on the picture?

There's no words to describe how amazing that shirt is. GREAT find! Welcome to the board ^_^

you lucky fuck

I saw Firehose the first time they played in Boston, or Cambridge actually (Boston is a shit) at TT's I think. I didn't like them. I wanted to like them, but I thought they were weak. Did anyone see Die Kreuzen in 86? Now that was the fucking nads.

I saw them with Husker Du in 1985!

... no wait, I didn't.

cool shirt!
