Can anyone help with these old tour dates?

[slothkiller69]

Hey,

I have recently been given a t-shirt of one of Anthrax's European tours, but there is no year date on it... I was wondering if any of you uber-fans knew when this tour was?

Starts in March:
8 Manchester England
9 Edinburgh Scotland
10 Newcastle England
12 Birmingham England
13-14 London England

(Nothing in April, 24 dates in June)

and so on, until finishing July:
1 Hameelinna Finland
5 Omagh Ireland
6 Bangor N. Ireland
7 Dublin Ireland

Thanks for reading

What's on the front of the shirt?

It shows the five band members standing in front of a wall, wearing shorts and t-shirts, with a chicken on their left... Over the wall is a massive grinning bald bloke who has his hands either side of the band... ANTHRAX is written above him.

Well, that's a shirt from the State of Euphoria days, which came out in September 88. So I'm guessing the tour your shirt is from is 89. And the bald bloke is the Not Man, Anthrax's mascot which was especially prominent through the late 80's. Hope this helps. I had that same shirt but it wasn't a tour shirt, so it had the ANTHRAX number plate on the back. Cool shirt - wish I still had it.
