What is the universally most loved PJ poster?

I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention Dusseldorf 2007. That and Spawn are my two favorites.

Cracker Jack and Pittsburgh are the posters from my first 2 shows and I love them both. I agree that Pittsburgh is an amazing piece of art that is just stunning in person. My favorite from a show that I didn't attend is the 96 Zurich/Innsbruck Polar Bear. Gotta get that one framed soon!

Wow...
your post really got me thinking about what an incredible run of posters you got going for the shows you've attended!!!
Besides Detroit, you've gotten some STELLAR posters!!!
Hopefully the streak will continue,
but everyone eventually gets a Columbus '10 or Vancouver '11

hah... I was lucky enough to score a Columbus and a Vancouver in my mystery box. I didn't even have to attend those shows!!!

Crackerjack? Really?

Yeah, Pittsburgh. And Portland. And Amsterdam. And Charlotte (that's the bee one, right?). And a bunch of others IMO. Cracker jack is fine, but it's pretty unoriginal. I'm never a big fan of the "copycat" posters personally.

I'm with you on this! To me, copying a logo or design and slapping the words "Pearl Jam" on it, is unoriginal, unimaginative, not creative and just plain lazy. I love Munk's Pittsburgh print and think "Crackerjack", "Kong", "Spawn", "Conan" and "Batman" are just lame.

You must not like when PJ covers a song then?

You make an excellent point. Is playing the same chord structure and singing someone else's words creative? No. Is it fun, memorable and able to elicit an emotional response? Yes. In my head, I'm demarcating between performance and material art. Do I love Pearl Jam playing Rockin' In The Free World? Absolutely. Would I love a poster of Mona Lisa wearing a PJ shirt or a Superman logo with "PJ" instead of "S"? Not a chance. I think I get where you are / were going and can see a form of hypocrisy within my evaluation.

I have the U2/pj hawaii poster hanging in my bathroom. My wife and I absolutely love it! My favorite band is pj and hers is U2 so it s perfect.

The Edmonton native American/Canadian poster is my fav.

Not that it matters but I love some of the spin off posters. I think some of it depends on if you're into the subject matter. For me, the EV Star Wars, Batman, Speed Racer and the PJ Donkey Kong, Spawn, etc are really fucking cool pieces.

I'd love to see a mock up of the Mona Lisa wearing a PJ shirt. That sounds funny as hell.

Of the new ones, I love Moline.

I also love Camden 08 Posters, Knoxville 98, and I think Cincy 06 is underrated.

You'll laugh, but then they release 10 of the same poster with Mona Lisa having orange hair and it will sell for $1,000 (*cough* Harry Caray version *cough*)

I love this poster!



Someday they will release this show on Record Store Day. Maybe RSD Black Friday this November '15. Pressed on red marble vinyl. Using Brad's design as the front cover.

If this ever happens, every Pearl Jam fan will be @ Easy Street Records store like ..
