Band T-shirts

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

A few years ago I heard an interview of Steven Wilson of the band Porcupine Tree talking about their new release, “The Incident.” I checked it out and immediately became not only a fan of that band, but a fanatic about progressive rock music.

As it turns out I’ve been a prog fan since its inception and, as I always say, I have the vinyl to prove it: Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Rick Wakeman, and yes, Yes, etc. And I loved the new wave of prog exemplified by Porcupine Tree and many other bands, as I discovered them. I especially enjoy symphonic prog, often dipping into the realm of symphonic prog metal (such as Within Temptation and Nightwish).

I also became addicted to live performances, attending two ROSFests (Rites of Spring festivals) and many concerts. And of course, I usually bought the T-shirt. I have a large box of them containing shirts from various bands.

And today: Kamelot, perfect for today’s prompt of “What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?” I attended the “Haven” tour concert in Columbus OH in 2015, convincing my long-time friend Dennis Thompson to go with me. Today’s featured item that I’m wearing is from that tour.

And I could answer this question every day for several months with another band shirt!
