The Kinks USA Come Dancin' '83 / State of Confusion Tour Tee | Mike Ponczek's Closet
An original The Kinks USA 1983 tour tee from the personal collection of SHOWCO sound engineer Mike "Dr. Funk" Ponczek.
1983 was a remarkable year for The Kinks. They were riding two albums simultaneously — Come Dancing had become a surprise hit single, and State of Confusion was their biggest American chart success in years. The US tour that followed captured both moments on a single shirt: the front features the bold, graphic Come Dancin' '83 design with Union Jack and Stars & Stripes lettering and a pair of boxing figures; the back reads The Kinks / State of Confusion in dripping red script, surrounded by the full tour city list — Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Toronto, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and dozens more. Mike Ponczek was there for all of it.
This is a genuine, worn shirt from Mike's personal archive — verified provenance, one of a kind.
