Deep Purple Perfect Strangers Tour T-Shirt & Ticket 1985

Deep Purple’s "Perfect Strangers" tour in 1984 marked a significant reunion for the band’s Mk II lineup, featuring Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice, performing together for the first time since 1973. The tour promoted their new album, also titled "Perfect Strangers", which achieved commercial success by reaching number five on the UK charts and number 17 on the Billboard 200 in the US.

The tour itself was a major success, with high ticket sales prompting the addition of extra dates to their US arena tour. In 1985, their US tour out-grossed every other artist except Bruce Springsteen.

Included along with the black, two-sided tour t-shirt is a ticket stub from the Hollywood Sportatorium in Hollywood, Florida, on Saturday, March 16, 1985, concert.

This shirt has been stored since the '80s, carrying the essence of that era. The fabric shows some signs of an overall gentle fade to the richness of the black - most likely from being laundered. See the images that show a small lighter, whitish spot on the back side by the DP. Also, see the image of a tiny hole on the back of the shirt at the lower right close to the hem. 

Imagine the stories it could tell—from the concert buzz to late-night jam sessions. If you decide to wear it (and why wouldn’t you?), follow these tips for this 100% cotton shirt: Wash warm with like colors. Do not bleach. Dry medium setting. Do not dry clean or iron if decorated.
