    Hard to pick a favorite, but my opinion of "worst" was Tom Tomorrow's 10/31/2009 poster for the last show at the Spectrum on Halloween. So much history, so many opportunities to make a "special" poster, and it was just the last in an ill-conceived, poorly executed, disappointing 4-poster series.

    so sad

    i think you guys are being a little rough....imo, those 4 posters were an extension from the backspacer art...so much detail and personal to the band. its not like those characters don't have any meaning to the band members. there's a story behind each and everyone of them. i think that's more than cool. to each his/her own I guess!

    Worst poster is the Klausen Euro '06 with the eye.

    Best poster is also Klausen Euro '06 with the eye, not because it is a great design, but since it's the first time I saw the band...

    I have always loved the Chicago 2000 (Blackie the clown) poster and its my personal favorite.

    worst is the Indianapolis 2010 poster... Yuck.
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I agree that the INDY 2010 poster is BAD:
    3310.1453.Thumb.jpg
    But I think the poster from the show the night before Indy - Columbus 2010 is the WORST EVER:
    3309.1452.Thumb.jpg
    I even went to this show and couldn't bring myself to buy this poster!!

    These are 2 of my FAVES from the 2010 tour:

    Toronto Night 2 from 2011 has to be one of the worst.

    One of the LA posters from 2009 has the word "Amphitheater" misspelled on it. It's a cool poster, but that's pretty sloppy.

    I know I'm one of a few here that like that Columbus poster, but I absolutely love it.

    I do agree that Indy the next night sucked, but I still bought the damn thing.

    Yeah, outside of Klausen, 06 was a pretty rough year.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    The b&w "Eddie Leaning" poster will always be my favorite (though it's not a concert poster obviously - they're everywhere and cost $6! I don't think the copyright has ever even been with PJ? Not some great work of art, but it is an amazing photo, and I'm super into photography). It was our centre piece in this fantastic dumpy shit hole of a house with 5 roommates in university. That poster will always have a special place in my heart for me!... The poster is long gone though, destroyed during our last epic keg party in that house, lol, somewhere around 1998. I am definitely going to get another though, and frame it like a grown up this time. :D
