If you look at old vintage Italian/French advertising posters, it kind looks like the artist was going for that look. But in no way does this look like a gig poster.

I think you nailed it here. Thats why this one works so well.

Agreed, that's why i dig it.

Tim Simmons · June 2018

I'm out of the poster game for shows I don't attend, but I really love this one and the artist. May have to try for an AP. But seeing the negative reactions, I'll probably be able to get one from 10c easily too.

Please, post the best "gig poster" youve seen from Pearl Jam. Im still confused by what makes a poster a gig poster or not.

Or are you talking about early 90s handbills? haha

Munk One nailed it when he did the Chicago (theater), Seattle (Pike Place), and Pittsburgh (iron worker) posters. These were classic 'gig' posters in my mind.

Klausen with the reaper for the DC show (given the times) wasanother great gig poster.

Random dinosaurs and two eyed cowboys are just images with a band's name on a banner across the top. Sometimes decent, but not a great 'gig poster' in my mind.

usually its linked to the setlist in terms of what makes a poster good.

Are these the official posters? What's the significance of some of these, such as the first one with the goddess-type woman?

The problem, in my opinion, is that rock posters in general are detached from the show itself.

the fusion of the artists together with that specific show (geographically, date wise etc) is what interests me.

Just getting some guy who's amazing at drawing crows, do draw a crow and throw Pearl Jam on top off it is quite boring to me. Or atlest, a missed opportunity.

I know that some of these seem to be less desirable than others but it's quite refreshing to see new artists getting the PJ spotlight and really mixing it up some from previous tours.

cp3iverson · June 2018

I actually dont mind this Milan one. This and Tsang are good IMO.

the lightning bolt cap is new?

I think that might be the festival cap rather than a PJ specific cap

Ahhh thanks

lastexitlondon · June 2018

I say London 1 is my fav

Spiritual_Chaos · June 2018

Amsterdam 1 might be mine Even though it looks like some erotic fantasy novel from the 70s.

He has a really cool style, kinda reminds me of the 60s B movie horror movie posters.
Wish there was a little more going on with the background, but overall it's a cool/different look.

Yeah. I dig his art and warm colors.

But for me, this was "empty" or underdeveloped.

HesCalledDyer · June 2018

Looking through this guy's portfolio.... man he's got some great work! Really digging his stuff.

Exactly. The background could've used something.

Received mine just before 11 EST. At first I wasn't into the print. But, after looking at it for some days, it grew on me. Thanks Santos for a chance of owning the print at a great price. No way would I've bought one at the flippers prices.

Definitely the worst t-shirts ever. I envision a lot of European merch mystery boxes on Black Friday this year.

The biggest mistake I've ever done, after destroying things with my ex, was buying a mystery box from the tenclub.

I did the mystery poster tube. won't be doing that again. better chance that I would go see KISS in concert than gamble on a mystery box.

That's pretty much the reason. The shipping from tenclub first which is just CRAZY, and on top of that customs charges and swedish VAT.

That was a black hole my money was sunk into.

I do use the tote bag though. Most expensive tote bag Ive ever bought.

On a slightly different note, how is the sizing of the Euro shirts. I vary between medium to large, so struggle to get the best fit

Same as that but bought a medium shirt and fitted perfectly.

If you’re used to US sizes I’d go large.
