Does that GnR shirt have a very thick, very plasticy logo? If so, I have the same shirt! I was really worried the logo would just crack, but it has held up amazingly well.

Yes, but the shirt is long dead now (probably fell apart around the logo).

The body under the shirt has also deteriorated substantially, and seems to have stretched (maybe through repeated laundering?)

Personally, I blame global warming. Isn't global warming to blame for everything

Cinco de mayo show back in 2001.
We had also lined the front of the stage with shot glasses of tequila for anyone willing.
