Have they sold poster tubes at the shows?

Not consistently. No tubes in Philly, tubes in SF. Can't remember for MSG.

Well, don't forget the overhead plus other expenses they have: paper, ink, equipment, employee payroll, rent, utilities etc.
More power to them!
I have great respect for hardworking, creative, successful people.

2nd'd plus with all of you collectors losing your shit over every poster that's released, I'd charge you that much too!!

LOL - the variants are all gone.

Ames just made $40,000 from that poster sale...

Gross. Deduct ~2.5% for credit card processing and ~$8 cost per poster. They likely saw ~$37,000 net.

Poor them, lol. Good for them for seeing the profit they can make. I can't justify a $200 poster. If this was a older poster (i.e. 1998, etc), sure, but not for a show that just happened the other day.

Temple of the Dog rocks San Francisco… new poster.

When I was in high school I was a huge Pearl Jam & Soundgarden fan. At that time, the Seattle music scene was in its heyday with bands like Mudhoney, Alice in Chains, Tad, & Nirvana pumping out albums. Sub Pop Records was king and amazing loud music from this quiet part of the country was getting national exposure. As a fan, one of the best things about the scene was the family-like feel to it in which a lot of the musicians had solo or side projects incorporating members from other bands. Lots of these were for fun and not meant to go any further than 1 album which most didn’t.

Along with epic “super-groups” Mad Season & Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog was one of the more notable to form and definitely grabbed my attention as it was made up of members of Soundgarden & Pearl Jam. The band formed as a tribute to a fallen Seattle-musician, Andrew Wood (Malfunkshun, Mother Love Bone) and unfortunately only released 1 album which is currently celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary re-release this year along with a short tour. I was extremely psyched and honored to be able to do a print for this occasion and even more ecstatic to get to finally get to see them perform Live!!!



Since this tour is a bit of nostalgic journey back to the old “grunge” days of early 90’s Seattle I wanted the poster that represented that feel as well. The fashion of ragged flannels, long hair, painted nails, thrift-store everything is very recognizable as well as the Riot Grrl/zine, cut’ n paste xerox esthetic of those days. The dog may seem like too obvious a choice but it actually appears a lot in lyrics and I thought should be present.

One interesting thing is, since the band only had 1 album and probably didn’t tour too heavily, there are barely any Temple of the Dog posters out there to reference which adds a lot of pressure when creating one.

The final print is a 5-color (18′ x 24) printed by Monolith Press and I will have a small run of 40 Artist Edition Prints (signed/Numbered) available on Tuesday, November 15th @ 11AM (PST).

Was this sold at the show? I'm pretty sure I only saw the Ames poster, but I wasn't looking that hard (been trying to stay away from the merch stand!)

This is a promoter print for Bill Graham Presents. It wasn't available for purchase at the shows but I saw someone who works at the venue, I believe as a bartender, post on facebook that he got one internally.

So it wasn't a handout at the end of the show like the Philly mini-poster was? That's what I assumed.

That will be interesting...
wouldn't surprise me to see Ames Bros do LA & Seattle posters too!
To me, this poster is about average for an Ames poster...
not GREAT,
but DEFINITELY not one of their worst!!

I never understood the hate for the '10 Columbus. Putting aside the fact the show was terrific (which IMO helps to solidify a poster's stature), if this poster had the words NEW YORK CITY in place of COLUMBUS on it the price it commands would likely be 2X/3X its' current value. A "fun" poster you can enjoy getting lost in and analyzing all the little details...I may be in the minority on this but those are the hallmarks of a solid effort as far as I'm concern.

I'm with you. I love the Columbus '10 poster.

I'm guessing this is the right hand side of a set of three and Seattle will be the middle print.

AND...I'm thinking this variant will be the blue/green theme!!

cjzoly

It actually look like it matches up to the right side of the SF poster...

Ames schmames......

I'd be interested to hear the meaning of the Ames prints. Obviously SF is Andy playing in a paradise of sorts after death. Wonder if the LA has something to do with Andy's dark side?

cp3iverson

Man that red Ames san fran poster is pretty awful. Even if it matches this one. That regular blue one is nice tho

smak

Does this mean the LA alternate will be a blue version?

ugh
