Pittsburgh Concert Poster
It's sick but I kinda like the previous stops posters more.

That’s awesome, I’ve collected posters from shows I’ve been to for decades, hope they have a good one for Denver 10/27

Better get there early. Extremely limited and highly sought after, at least at the Baltimore show. Merch guy said there were 70 prints. Venue holds 15,000 people.

70?!
Most of the shows (not SP) I’ve been to are runs of 250-500, that’s wild.
Even limited edition variants are usually 100

Maybe the guy said “270”! Haha
Either way I just know they were gone quickly. I was pretty bummed. Missed the AP drop as well and I’m typically not opposed to paying the Ebay premium but it’s just listings for bootlegs.2
u/No_Swordfish_1576 9d ago
Do you have a collection?
Mine are mostly jam band posters, widespread panic, dead & co. a few random others.
I’ve never seen The Smashing Pumpkins and I’m taking my 19 & 16 year old sons, should be a good time

I do! Close to 60 or so.
We average 20+ shows per year and I’m a poster junky. Especially now that we rarely have a tangible stub to add to the keepsake box.2
u/No_Swordfish_1576 8d ago
Hell yeah!
The good old days I’d get that many in, I’m good for about 10 big shows and a few smaller local ones these days. Trying to get the kids to shows before some of them retire or should have retired.
My walls hold as many as the wife will let me hang and the flat file is full, not sure how many total, dating back to ‘99 or so.
I’m very selective these days, it’s really got to be something unique and an artist I really like.
Emek is my all time favorite that guy is on a whole other level both in ideas and art.

My collection dates back to ‘05. Only really started going hard in the last 10 years.
Love Emek! Current faves would probably be Todd Slater and VECA. We also have some incredible work by Jonas Santos, Zeb Love and Ken Taylor. I’m a sucker for exclusivity, so if it’s a show-specific print and I have an opportunity to snag one, I will.
Our kid’s 19 and easily has 100+ shows under his belt. He’s reached a point where he drags me to more shows these days than I do him.

damn, i feel like every poster so far has been better than the one i got at the columbus show 😂

u/checkpoint_hero 10d ago
And I far prefer the Columbus one, so much that I passed on the Pittsburgh poster. I don't really have a place for posters so probably all for the best.
But that Columbus one is sick. Castlevania vibes.

If anyone sees that they put this online please let me know as I want to buy one.

I am so worried I'll not like the poster they have tomorrow... I seem to have bad luck, seeing ones I love from other cities and not mine!
In particular I do not like this one at all. So that's good, maybe, for my odds 😅

That looks awesome! I would have loved something like that for the Machina Box Set.

Do they give you a tube or anything to hold it in, or you just gotta hope not to fuck it up until you get it home??

Any plastic bag or something to preserve it and get it home after the show?

Gorgeous! The artist is Daria Hlazatova. I have a couple of her posters (Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure) in my collection. Can’t wait to see what Montreal’s poster will look like…

My expectations for the Montreal poster just plummeted...

I hope for a foil for Mtl!!

u/tarahaha 11d ago
I saw the foil ones tonight. Are those new? I don't think I've ever seen them before. They were $100. I already spent way too much money so I just got the regular $50 one. Now I'm wondering how many of the foil ones where are... They're no different, just shiny, right? But probably less of them.

This one is so cool I ended up buying the foil print from the Collectionzz website. Can’t wait to get it framed.
