"Rock n Roll Show" Premium Unisex T-Shirt

Erie County Fair. August 18-19. Nightly in front of the grandstand.Somewhere in the mid-1950s, a promoter printed up a stack of handbills and stapled them to telephone poles across western New York. The bill read like a dispatch from the future: Pat Boone, Gene Vincent, Lillian Briggs — three artists at the exact moment rock and roll was figuring out what it was.Gene Vincent had just recorded "Be Bop a Lula" — a record so raw that Sun Records thought it was Elvis. Lillian Briggs was one of the first women to front a rock and roll band, belting "I Want You to Be My Baby" with a ferocity that nobody was ready for. Pat Boone was the clean-cut counterpoint — the version of rock and roll that parents could tolerate, which made him the biggest star on the bill.They played in front of a grandstand at a county fair. The crowd had no idea they were watching history.This tee reproduces the original concert poster in full — yellow, red, and black, exactly as it looked stapled to that telephone pole.
