Offered Here: Prince 1993 European Tour New Power Generation Act II Crew Denim Shorts. This rare piece of authentic tour apparel was issued exclusively to road crew during the historic 1993 Act II European concert series, a significant period of transition and reinvention for Prince. The unique denim shorts are designed in a distinct one-size-fits-all baggy silhouette, featuring a functional button fly, an adjustable drawstring waist, and high-quality embroidered tour signifiers that were never sold to the general public.
Provenance/Authenticity: Randall "Zeke" Clark is a renowned luthier and legendary guitar/amp technician who got his start in the San Francisco music scene in the 70s, working with various A-list artists until moving to LA in the 80s, where he worked for Eddie Van Halen. From 1985 to 1993, he served as Edward Van Halen’s lead guitar and amp tech, transitioning to the crew with Sammy Hagar to maintain the band's gear through the monumental 5150, OU812, and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge eras. Beyond his historic tenure as the custodian of Eddie's tone, Clark's elite five-decade career includes building, repairing, and maintaining specialized gear for iconic artists such as Prince, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Heart, Poison, and others. This curated selection of items offers collectors a unique and direct connection to rock history through the hands of a master craftsman who shaped the sound of guitar royalty.
This item was personally handled, vetted, and released by Zeke Clark, ensuring its authenticity and rock-history provenance. Zeke Clark utilizes an Official Personal Signature Stamp to validate and inventory documents and artifacts released directly from his private estate. This item comes with his personal ink-imprinted signature stamp on the certificate of authenticity, which serves as his legally binding, authorized mark of verification and carries the full weight of a hand-signed signature.
Condition: The denim shorts are in very good vintage condition, exhibiting common signs of wear, aging, and storage that naturally reflect their authentic tour history. The heavy-duty denim fabric retains its durability and shape, the button fly and drawstring remain fully operational, and the detailed embroidery is securely intact, presenting an excellent balance of historical character and structural integrity.
