1995 Reading Festival T-Shirt - Thoughts
I attended the 1995 festival for three days and picked up this t-shirt. Not sure if I bought it at the show or at an outside vendor. Anyone know if it is official? Thanks for the help!

Looks bootleg to me but may be wrong. Is the tent headliner on the Sunday showing as Carter US? Without the M. Photo doesn’t blow up well.

Yes, I remember watching Carter & they were joking about not messing with Neil Young because he was a hard guy.

Looks like a boot but a nice one :) if there were a neck tag it would be easier to ID though

No idea about the shirt but holy shit what an amazing line up, Soundgarden, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Babes in Toyland, Mudhoney, Hole, Skunk Anansie?? Some of these are like...my favourite bands of all time that must've been an incredible weekend

It kind of looks like a bootleg if I'm honest. IIRC this was the first year the festival sold out. My memories of it are a bit vague because I missed a lot of it because I was on crutches after a recent motorcycle accident and the crowds were freaking me out.
