  • Hell yeah, Kurt Russell is on there! Motherfuckin Snake Plissken, bitches! That character is also the basis for Metal Gear Solid's Snake. Those posters are awesome.

    :mrgreen::mrgreen: if you look at the Halloween thread we had going for a few months before the show i said i wanted to come as Snake to the show but they wouldn't let me on the plane with a MAC10! :mrgreen:

    ...so i was very fucking psyched when i saw poster # 3...i have the set and think it looks really cool all together!

    for the haters...not everything has to be a Klausen to be good! it's OK to dig more than 1 style/artist!!

    and if you were lucky enough to be at all 4 shows....it's a great way to remember a damn good time...I'm speaking from experience of course! :D:D:mrgreen::mrgreen: :P :P

    LOLZ. That would be the shit. Would you have rocked the mullet?

    I would like to have digital copies of the posters for my desktop wallpaper. If you could send them to me, I could mess with them in Photoshop and put them all together and send it back.

  • I think they are ok posters. they look a little better in person than the pics.
    the only thing i wouldve like to see is the band names somehow making out the shape of the spectrum when you put them all together.
  • I'd love all four mounted on my wall.

    Great work.

    Just couldn't bring myself to purchase any of the Philly posters, which was a little ironic since these shows were so special. It seems as though these posters really polarized the poster fans, with either extreme love or extreme hatred for Tom's creations. It would have been awesome to frame the last show's poster with the setlist but I couldn't handle the artwork. Regardless, respect goes out to Tom,...

  • I think they strike a chord with me becasue so many of those pop culture icons on the poster are familiar from shows I've seen over the 40 years I have been on this earth. Some I like and still respect, some make me cringe, but to me - each of those characters brings back a memory from parts of my life. The dalek is a classic!

    They may or may not be Pearl Jam's best concert posters, that is largely irrelevant to me, they are very clever nods to a lot of popular history and I'm really glad Pearl Jam have now introduced me to Tom Tomorrow, I'll be looking into his work now - something I'd never have had a chance to do.

    I'll gladly purchase a set of four if someone has decided they don't want them.

    GODDAMN IT TOM TOMORROW! DOES SHE EXIST?!


    That's my exact reaction when I see all 4 posters too.
    Still a mystery that no one solve?

  • I only got the posters for the shows I attended (Friday and Saturday) but I love them. Have we decoded all the characters on them? I'm pretty sure Noam Chomsky is in the background of #3.

    given the special nature of the 10/31 "last show at the spectrum" that poster is an embarrassment and insult... the other three are interesting in their own right, and a 3-poster set would have done the trick...

    to not do a special commemorative poster for the last show is inexcusable... either way, Tom Tomorrow will never be forgotten by those who either pre-ordered or purchased posters...

  • Anyone happen to know measurements of posters? Are all the same? Couldn't find on EB...

    Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

  • If anyone who owns all these posters can please take a good quality digital image of shows 2, 3, and 4 and frame the shot so that they are square and not at an angle like the ones in my original post, I'd really appreciate it. I've been making bootleg artwork http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=115328 for all the shows that have come out so far and I don't have good images to use for these three shows and so far Tom Tomorrow hasn't posted these posters on his site. If you look at the pictures at the beginning of the thread, you'll see that the bottom of the image is wider than the top because of the angle the picture was taken from. Also, if you use a flash, you'll get a glare like some of the images have. Any assistance anyone could be would be really appreciated. ;)
