T-shirts featuring classic rock groups such as Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, David Bowie amongst others, and which belonged to their crews were auctioned by the well-known New York's auction house Christie's.

T-shirts
The auctioned tee-shirts, considered as collectable items, are from the sixties and seventies and were used by the crew of rock legends Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen, David Bowie, Beatles and others.

These 'vintage' rock band t-shirts are expected to reignite the fans attention for rock music and its trends.  The items represent ephemeral 'rock and pop' culture icons, said the auction firm in a press release.

Amongst the range of items, there is a t-shirt from the world acclaimed Led Zeppelin's '73 tour, and another one from 'Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' show, where David Bowie used to play in the sixties, and which are estimated between 2,000 to 3,000 dollars each.

From the same period, there is a Rolling Stones t-shirt with a very irreverent message, which reads in the front 'Who the f**k are the Rolling Stones anyway?', and at the back, 'Who cares', which could reach up to 800 dollars.

One of the first t-shirts from the British band 'the Yardbirds', which promotes pop music and was worn during the Monterey's Pop Music Fest in 1967, is expected to be sold between 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.

Pictures from Ed Caraeff, Jim Marshall, Annie Leibowitz and other music legends will also be auctioned, along with some of their belongings.  Led Zeppelin's John Bonham's Ludwig drum sticks, and an amplifier designed by Bob Rissi, which was used during the 'American Tour' in 1969 has been estimated between 10,000 and 15,000 American dollars.

An autograph from one of the biggest rock stars of all times, Jimi Hendrix, over the cover of 'The Jimi Hendrix Experience' album; and signatures of all the band members over the 'Bold as Love' album, are expected to be sold between 8,000 and 10,000 dollars, and will also be part of this music-fans collectors' auction.
