    Pittsburgh was one of three shows that tour (Chicago was another, and I believe Atlanta but don't quote me on that) that did not have a poster created for the show (not sure why). After the fact, about a year later I believe, a collective of poster artists (I believe that's what "Missing Link" refers to, what the artists called themselves) created posters for these shows, and offered them to people on the AMES bros mailing list (I believe one of them may have been associated with Ames somehow, and thats how they got access to the mailing list). All this was done without authorization from the band to create the posters for the old shows. When the band found out about this, they asked the artists to not send out anymore posters. However some orders had already been sent out. That's how some of the posters are out there (I think its only something like 50 posters max for each city, or maybe its 50 posters total) which is why when they surface for sale they go for so much money.

    definitely one of my very favorite posters! would like to see future posters recall that style of vintage advertising!
