2018 Euro Merch

If you look at old vintage Italian/French advertising posters, it kind looks like the artist was going for that look. But in no way does this look like a gig poster.

Please, post the best "gig poster" youve seen from Pearl Jam. Im still confused by what makes a poster a gig poster or not. 

Or are you talking about early 90s handbills? haha

Generally speaking, I like posters that depict something about the time and place I am attending. It can be topical, political, symbolic of the city, thats all perfect in my opinion.

And then, if you want to to actually look good on walls of peoples homes...
NO SKULLS
AS MANY EYES AS IT SHOULD HAVE
NO DEAD ANYTHINGS

To me the best posters ever are the entire 96 tour and Moline, Pitt, Hartford.

Hartford.

:P

F Me In The Brain

Mmmm.  I like some of it and dislike other parts.  A pass.

The last Milan poster was very good, imo.

I was at that Hartford show as well, I remember getting to the front of the poster line, which was fast and thinking, oh...that's why its so fast.
I meant this one.

People are still queuing  hours for this terrible merch
People would buy anything this band put out.  I bet they laugh their ass  off.

Maybe they’re trolling us with this tour’s merch, like it’s an experiment to see how awful they can make it and see if people will still queue for hours to buy it!

My favorite hands down is Moline 2014. Ian Williams did a great job incorporating that rock feel and the rural/farm town feel of the venue.

Love the Francovilla. His Mondo/Marvel stuff is out of this world awesome.

If i look at a long tour from the last fifteen years, there’s only 3 or 4 that i love from each tour.  For these short tours theres maybe 1 i would frame on average. There’s going to be way more ugly ones than ones you would frame and hang. So far i like 1 of them this tour.  People just like to freak out in the moment but this is nothing new.  Its exciting when London Mumford shows up on the merch thread and floors everyone.  Same with Pittsburgh 13.  

its been twenty years since that tour where you wanted to own all of them.

Any glimpse of tomorrow night's poster during setup?

I guess it is all in the eyes of the beholder, but I like this snake. The other creatures not so much, but I really like this snake. I would just be happy with another gig in Australia, the merch, t-shirts and posters are always just a bonus for me.

Every year has had misses. There are 96/98 ones that I don't care for. And funny enough, I think the Mumfords are good, but I don't think they would even crack my top 20 or 30. Don;t get the super hype about them. I've thought all of the Euro ones, until today, were decent and would have been pleased if they were for my show. 

The double eyed animals on the other hand, they need to go.

I'm liking the Rome print. Reminds me of the old Italian horror movie posters.

I don't mind it either. But as someone else mentioned. Get rid of the MILAN as it is better suited at the bottom as is.

In what say is that more a "gig poster" than the latest MIlan one...

When I buy a Pearl Jam poster, I buy it so I can have something that I can take with me, material wise, from the show. If it is not the best design I still buy it.
