A custom made cropped multi-color sequined performance jacket by Audrey Carter, owned and worn by Joan Jett in the official music video for "Dirty Deeds" (her cover of the AC/DC classic), on stage during her celebrated 1989 Broadway residency at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, and backstage at the same residency — where she is documented in this jacket alongside David Bowie, who attended to see her show. Photo-matched to the David Bowie backstage photo. Originally donated by Joan Jett to MusiCares. This lot includes the signed Joan Jett publicity photo from the MusiCares donation, the original Playbill from the Broadway residency (Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, March 1989), and the original production laminate from the run.

Photo-Match
This jacket is photo-matched to a 1989 backstage photograph of Joan Jett with David Bowie, taken during Jett's Broadway residency at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. The multicolor sequined embellishment pattern — including the distinctive gold-tone, magenta, green, blue, and black paisley and geometric motifs across the cropped silhouette — is directly identifiable in the photograph. David Bowie attended Jett's Broadway engagement and was photographed backstage with her while she was wearing this jacket. A dedicated photo-match graphic is included in the photographic documentation accompanying this listing.
Historical Context
Joan Jett formed the Runaways in 1975, then launched her solo career and formed the Blackhearts in 1979. Her 1982 album I Love Rock and Roll produced the landmark title track, which spent eight weeks at #1 — one of the longest-running #1 singles in rock history. By 1989, Jett was one of the most recognized rock performers in America, culminating in her extraordinary five-night Broadway residency at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (March 1-5, 1989) — the first time a rock act of her kind had performed a proper Broadway engagement of this nature, produced by John Scher. The band for the run included Ricky Byrd (guitar), Kasim Sulton (bass), Sandy Gennaro (drums), Ronnie Lawson (keyboards), and the Uptown Horns horn section. The engagement sold out immediately.
David Bowie's attendance at the residency and his backstage visit with Jett documents a remarkable intersection of two of rock's most significant figures at the height of their respective careers.
Stage & Performance Use
The jacket was worn by Jett in the official music video for "Dirty Deeds" — her cover of the AC/DC classic — and on stage during the 1989 Lunt-Fontanne Theatre Broadway residency (March 1-5, 1989). It was also worn backstage at the same engagement, where Bowie visited after attending the show. The multiple documented uses across the 1989-1990 period establish this as an active performance garment from one of the most significant periods in Jett's career.

Buyer Terms & Conditions
These Buyer Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all sales conducted by Nostalgia Bandit LLC (“NB,” “we,” or “us”). By registering to bid or placing a bid, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Contract Formation
NB acts solely as agent for the consignor. NB is not the seller. Placing a bid constitutes an irrevocable offer to purchase. The contract is formed upon acceptance of the winning bid by the auctioneer or platform at the close of the auction.
2. Online-Only Auctions
All bidding is conducted online only. Some auctions may include a live-streamed auctioneer and some may not. The same bidding rules apply to all auctions. NB reserves the right to withdraw any lot, refuse any bid, resolve bidding disputes, and regulate the conduct of the auction in its sole discretion. Certain lots may be offered subject to a confidential reserve. If a reserve is not met, the lot will remain unsold. Any reserve, if applicable, will not exceed the published low pre-sale estimate.
3. Buyer’s Premium & Fees
A 20% Buyer's Premium is added to the hammer price of all lots, which includes the iCollector online service fee. An additional 3% credit card processing fee will be added at checkout for payments made by credit card; payments made by ACH or wire transfer are not subject to this fee.
4. Sales Tax
Applicable sales tax will be added to the purchase price as required by law based on the delivery location and the nature of the transaction.
5. As-Is / No Reliance
All property is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with all faults. Descriptions, estimates, and opinions are statements of judgment, not guarantees. Buyers are responsible for their own inspection and evaluation. No warranty or representation is made as to condition, authenticity, provenance, completeness, or operability except as expressly stated. Electronic items are sold as-is, untested unless otherwise stated, and may not include power supplies, accessories, or cables unless specifically described and shown in photographs. Certain electronic items may originate from other countries and may require voltage converters, adapters, or other modifications for use. Any testing, compatibility verification, or modification is at the buyer’s sole risk.
6. Payment & Default
Buyers acknowledge that iCollector may automatically charge the registered payment method on file within 24 hours of auction close. Payment is otherwise due within 5 calendar days of invoice. Payment is due within 5 calendar days of invoice unless otherwise stated. Failure to pay may result in cancellation of the sale, resale of the property, forfeiture of payments, and recovery of costs. NB reserves the right to charge the buyer’s registered payment method, assess late fees, and/or pursue legal remedies for non-payment. NB may reject future bids from any buyer who fails to complete a transaction. Although title passes at the fall of the hammer, NB retains a possessory lien on the property until full payment has been received and cleared. Property will not be released until payment clears. By registering to bid, buyers agree not to initiate chargebacks or payment reversals without first contacting NB to resolve any issue in good faith.
7. Shipping & Risk of Loss
Title and risk of loss pass to the buyer at the fall of the hammer. Property will be released for shipment or pickup only upon receipt of cleared payment in full. Shipping, insurance, handling, customs, and related costs are the buyer's responsibility. All packages shipped by NB will require signature confirmation upon delivery. Buyers are responsible for arranging shipment within a reasonable time after payment.
Full-value insurance is required on all shipped lots. Declared value for shipping insurance shall equal the hammer price plus buyer's premium; under-declaration is not permitted. All shipments must use carriers that provide signature confirmation and full declared-value coverage. For lots shipped in-house by NB, accepted carriers are UPS, FedEx and USPS Registered Mail only. For lots shipped via third-party providers, the buyer (or their chosen shipper) is responsible for selecting an appropriate carrier and arranging full-value insurance through that carrier or an independent insurer.
8. Shipping Options & Third-Party Handling
Shipping, handling, and insurance are not included in the Hammer Price or Buyer's Premium. All shipping and fulfillment costs are assessed separately and are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
NB offers in-house shipping for eligible lots, subject to availability and lot-specific requirements. NB reserves the right to require third-party shipping for any lot at its sole discretion, including but not limited to lots requiring specialized handling due to size, weight, fragility, value, or other considerations. Where third-party shipping is required, NB will provide contact information for one or more recommended providers, and the buyer may use a provider of their own choosing.
Regardless of shipping method, all shipments must comply with the insurance and carrier requirements set forth in Section 7. Risk of loss in transit lies with the buyer in all cases. Local pickup is available where applicable. Buyers should note that applicable sales tax may apply to transactions involving local pickup.
International buyers are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable import regulations, customs declarations, duties, and taxes. NB will accurately declare the full hammer price plus buyer's premium on all customs documentation. Requests to under-declare value, mark shipments as 'gift,' or otherwise misrepresent the transaction to customs authorities will be declined.
9. Returns & Claims
All sales are final unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. Any claim must be submitted in writing within seven (7) days of receipt of the property.
10. Platform Disclaimer
NB is not responsible for errors, interruptions, delays, or failures of third-party bidding platforms or internet services.
11. Limitation of Liability
NB’s liability to a buyer shall not exceed the purchase price actually paid. NB shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
12. Force Majeure
NB shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
