If T-Shirts could talk (3)

This T-shirt is from Singapore. I got it in 2004 on the occasion of the Steve Vai Tour of Asia. My good friend Yasu Oshitani and I had got VIP tickets to the concert and an after-show meet and greet at a downtown bar. I absolutely wanted to get some autographs so before the concert I went into a sports shop and got the shirt as well as a silver permanent marker.

It goes without saying that the show was phenomenal. Steve Vai is one of my all-time guitar heroes and his band was like a layer cake of prime ingredients with Billy Sheehan (Bass), Tony MacAlpine (Keys and Guitar), Dave Weiner (Guitar) and Jeremy Colson (Drums).

During the after-show meet&greet I indeed managed to get autographs from Jeremy (top left), Tony (middle) and Billy (top right). Steve was unfortunately surrounded by bodyguards and girls so I had no chance. Dave was unavailable as well but I’m thrilled I could get that shirt signed.

On popular request Steve later went up on stage and jammed with the local house band. An unforgettable evening!  Rock on!
