Info needed. I have a Mick Jagger Walter Payton football jersey from "Tattoo You Tour" 1981
Hi,
I'm hoping some out there may be able to help me out. The Tattoo You tour was a sell out here in the US. I remember waiting overnight for tickets which sold out both shows in our local area. In fact, it sold out three people before me so I left empty handed and horribly disappointed.
But since I thought it was their last tour, I skipped school to dial a local radio station which was giving away two tickets to the 96th caller every few hours. I had to have tickets! I must have made dozens of attempts and actually won two tickets. Everyone in my high school was suddenly my best friend.
Two years later, my father who was an artisan in gold leafing, stenciling, etc was commissioned to decorate and stencil Mick's new brownstone in the West End of NYC. My dad actually slept at the brownstone and came home on weekends. Mick would stop by to see how things were coming along. I did get to meet him briefly.
My father told him about how hard I tried to get tickets to the concert. My dad had bought a Stones album in NYC and asked if he would autograph it and Mick also gave my dad a football jersey which I assume was for the Tattoo You Tour.
I've kept it in mint condition and it's 34 years old. It's cropped with a pair of scissors at the bottom like some of the other football shirts.I've been trying to research the shirt's provenance (if there is one).
It has "JAGGER" on the back and it the legendary Chicago Bears Hall of Fame Walter Payton's #34 shirt. It has no tags and is small so it was custom made to fit him.
But I can't seem to find any info if he wore it in a concert. Mick wore many football jerseys with the football pants on that tour. Several dates/venues were added due to fans' requests.
I'd show pics but there doesn't seem to be a way to upload pics unless I am missing something.
Can anyone help shed some light? Thanks!
