From an artisitic standpoint and not a resale/"collectable" standpoint - what are the best 3 posters?

Prague 1996 I think is one that is awesome - it has a communist/totalitarian theme: eastern bloc meets cheeseburgers, or something like that.

    I very much like the Melbourne 2006 one with Ned Kelly... brilliant! The 2010 Adelaide one also kicks arse, the evil koalas! And MSG2 this year.

    For me, East Lansing 1998 is really fucking great.

    I loved Columbus from this year as well, best poster I've seen in a long time.

    I really can't stand the dark and doomy Klausen designs, I can't even begin to find the words for how much they suck.

    That is a cool poster.

    The Easy Street poster that everyone raves about is really ugly in my opinion.

    +1.. seems to me just another case of Pearl Jam fans equating 'rare' with 'quality' when they ought not to be equated.

    I am really a big fan of AC Borgata and the Santa Barbara 03 one is very nice from an artistic point of view as well. (Rhino/Bird, it's very minimalistic. Simple yet nice)

    I really like the Brad Klaussen poster from Toronto 2 2006 "Do you see Dragons after 3 or 4" I think it's a brilliant illustration of the song Severed Hand.

    I really love the Pearl Jam/U2 Hawaii poster. I love the colours and the waves.

    There are so many other really great posters, but those 2 really stick out to me.

    i know this 60 year old rocker guy i work with, and i told him about how PJ make a different poster for every concert and he said "Every one, a different one for each "? and i said yup , he said "That's F'n OldSchool"!!!
    I think they gained some respect in his eye's, i'm slowly bringing him around :mrgreen:
