In these pages, we have already discussed Testament's 1989 album, Practice What You Preach. Here and on my blog, you have seen photos of me in a "Perilous Nations" shirt, and my cousin in a "Greenhouse Effect" shirt, both from this album. Well, I recently went back to my parents' place, and lo and behold, I still have two other shirts from this era. One is white, with a cartoon caricature of the band, in a courtroom. It has tour dates on the back.
The other is black, called "Devastates California." Apparently, Testament played on back-to-back nights. First, they played on 12/16/89 in Santa Monica. Second, they played at S.F.'s Warfield on 12/17/89. Yep, this is the show my friends, including my future wife, attended. To this day, KJ maintains that this show was/is one of her all-time favorite concerts.
On the front of the shirt is the Practice What You Preach album cover. Somewhere on my blog is a photo of me in this shirt. Again, I did not know that, 25+ years later, I still have it. Alas, these shirts (they are/were XL) have shrunk, and now only fit a small child, not an adult.
Plenty of audiophiles have seen Testament in the 2000s. I don't know if any of you saw Testament during the 1989-1990 Practice What You Preach era. Whether or not you saw them back then, do any of you have any of the t-shirts from that glorious time?
