    Moline poster.

    Got there too late to get one.  Was my 1st show with 10c tickets.  Front row behind GA...

    It would look sooooo nice next to my Cracker Jack..
    Hell yeah it would!  Who wouldn’t want a box of cracker jacks next to a tractor on their wall?
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I think it was $35.  I think I got one of the last ones.  I was so broke in university when it came out.  I had a small collection of vinyl back then.  All the PJ records, and at the end of day 2 I caved and put in my order.   It sold out short therafter.   I don't think anyone could of predicted the vinyl resurgence.


    Like many, I would honestly love to have the Benny vinyl - But mostly to satisfy the "completest"  part of me that hasn't been killed off yet.

    I would spin it, but not too often, and that's not for preservations sake... mostly because like other live records I own, I can't stand flipping sides every 3-4 songs.

    that's essentially the reason I didn't buy it. I don't think live records lend themselves to the vinyl approach. when you are stopping the show to flip the record, it takes away from it.

  • Benny for sure - and one day I'll buy a Podova and the 2014 Stockholm posters. Absolutely love the art work.

    But Benny will stay on the I can only dream - No way I can pay the money they are currently selling for. If I did get it I would play the hell out of it.
    But appreciate the comments about flipping a live record. Didn't think of that. Maybe its no so great after all......Nah, who am I kidding.

    The only reason why that poster is sweet is because it is more than 20 years old.  Otheriwse it is pretty fugly
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

  • This should be attainable, no?

    That’s mine too. But, if one were to come along, I can *hopefully* raise the funds. Anyone selling?? Haha

    ^ I strongly believe that it's impossible to find the CD version w/ the Polaroids (original and unsealed) in Greece. I guess it's the same everywhere else. I own the CD w/o the small Polaroids.

    there are 4 versions in north america, C, O, D, and E, and each comes with 4 polaroids. no copy comes with all the polaroids I don't believe.

    ^ Really? Are they still available there? Do you know if I could order it online (always talking about a brand new one)? I wouldn't mind have all the Polaroids, but even one of the four US versions would be just fine.

    I have two copies of it. I'll send you one. pm me your address and it's yours. and yes, I see them at my used cd shop all the time. not brand new, but used. But I also see it sealed in music stores here still. if you want me to get you a new copy, let me know and it's done.
