I agree with LieB's posting.
I have 2 from Europe '73 that I know to be genuine - I bought them - so yours would be the first time I've ever seen one older.

I once had a similar shirt only mine was black with the lounge and jet graphics in a silver sparkle. I got it from somebody who saw the Stones at MSG in 1972. However, it wasn't in such good shape and fell apart in the laundry a long time ago. This design would make a great reissue.

Yeah, I've seen this graphic in all sorts of color patterns. Your friend didn't say where they got it did they? Parking lot/inside the show?

This copyright notice of sorts is what makes me think that it was an "official" piece of merch. I know bootleg shirts don't really have those ever.
this seems correct. it's a legit shirt from 72 but not official tour merch.Quote

That's a bootleg shirt. The only official 72 tour tee was plain white with a red and black tongue on the front and no writing. I have mine from Knoxville 72 around here somewhere.

There was a discussion on here awhile back. Apparently there was a fanclub shirt from '66.
It is possible that different promoters printed up different shirts for each gig. There really wan't much merchandising back then. It's hard to imagine and insider who owned a few "inner circle" shirts owning a bootleg. That's why I tend to think this version is official in some capacity.

I find it strange though that this shirt states 'North-American Tour 1972'. Not only is it a misspelling, but that tour was, at least at the time, not refered to as 'North American'.

Here's the earlier shirt I was talking about - it was '67 not '66.
1967 Shirt
I'm really hoping to stay away from speculation here...stars between each word in "North American Tour 1972" doesn't really indicate a mispelling. Just a graphic element.
Hopefully someone on here ventured by the merch table or bought one of these outside a gig in '72.
Thanks again for the help!

That's wonderful. Do you know its history?
