I'm curious what it's worth these days. I'm not sure if i'm going to sell it yet but its got a great back story.

I inherited this from my Uncle B who lived here in Washington DC for 45 years. He imigrated from The Philippines as a Navy Officer eventually working a "job" at The Pentagon after retiring from the military. Thats all he ever told the family for decades, until he gave me this shirt in 2023 along with the rest of his concert tees. He told me his "job" was actually working for The CIA. He said that even tho the shirts say "Mockbra" which means Moscow. They didnt perform there. Originally Moscow was scheduled for 5 shows. The Russian government despised rock music calling it western propaganda. It was illegal to listen to and buy rock music in previous years. Bootleg tapes sold in underground black markets got the German band Scorpions famous in the Soviet Union.

Anyway, the Russian government canceled the Moscow shows and the 5 dates were moved to Leningrad, 400 miles away where instead of 5 show dates, the Scorpions played 10 in April 1988. The band didn't perforn in Moscow until the following year in 1989 when the fall of the Soviet Union began.

This shirt is rare and represents important events in history.

Love this thanks for sharing the story! Your uncle is a badass. Stylin' CIA operative.

Hold on to it!

I had one of these years ago and regret selling it. But I did just check and one sold earlier in the year for about $105.
