I started seeing Jimmy in 97. Was just curious, for the others, what the cost of a tour shirt was in the late 70s and 80s. Did they even have tour shirts back then?
I'm really wondering how to retire mine. I can't imagine having one from the 70's!

Was the shirt more expensive than the ticket? Wouldn't expect YOU to know exact value, but was it Less or More?

Was the ticket about $10 at that time too?

The first time I paid to see him at a venue , it was $5....and it was 1975 at The Citadel.....The letter telling him he is not welcome there ever again is hanging in Margaritaville, in Key West......(after singing WDWGDAS)

I imagine that the price of a shirt back then was less than a date....

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

When you can't find a shirt to date, you resort to paying for them?

I remember t-shirts for $5 and jersey shirts (white torso with picture, 3/4 sleeves that were a solid color) for $8. This was back in the '70's.

Didn't follow Jimmy back in the 70's, but I'm pretty sure a ticket didn't cost anywhere near $15 . I saw the Stones in '78 for $10, so I can't believe Jimmy would have been more.

Were you into wearing ladies tanks from Heart in 1978?
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
