  • I preordered both posters but there were plenty of them for sale. They had both night's posters available on the second night.

    Yeah- these were two of their better posters in a long time. I wish that they would have done one of those for Chicago 1... :)

    I thought I was the only person who liked both posters, I like the "Boom" poster a little bit more Thant the captain :mrgreen:

    What I want to know is why no love for Ben Harper and the R7 on the posters. I dont recall ever seeing a poster that did not include the opener listed on it
  • I love the Shawn Kemp poster, but not crazy about the other 2.

    Many of the 2008 and 2009 prints don't have the opening act on them.

    Could be because they are waiting so long before finalizing who the opening acts actually are ... the posters need to be completed well in advance to get through the screening process and shipped to the gig.

    Actually, the last of the first night's posters were gone within minutes on Night 2.

    I bought the Shawn Kemp's poster but I can't undestand why so many people love that poster, am I missing something?

    I am sure it is different for each person, I like it because there is a sports tie in and Shawn Kemp was pretty cool.

    It appears that Pearl Jam and their merchandiser have caught onto something with the sports tie ins. Really hoping that they double the output of the sports related shirts for Philly.
  • DAMN that surfing big foot one is incredible! all the little details - the grunge stickers all over his board :D

    the flying dutchman ones not bad either... would look great with the red typewriter poster from a couple years back

    chicago really missed out on some fine ames work this tour! keep it up boys!

    Only the Kemp posters was signed and numbered, as it was a "special Seattle edition" poster. Yes, it was done by Ames. When I asked if they'd be available on their site, they played coy ... I think they wnated to bundle the remaining posters they had with books.

    The other two show specific posters were not signed "1st edition" posters, and the "artist proofs" are available now at Ames Bros for purchase.

    i wouldn't say that they're going fast bob (office space)

    going fast is why assholes like me have 3 s/n prints from San Fran a couple of years ago
