ROCK POSTERS

All posters are original release issue from the concert in question. Some are quite rare, particularly the variants, and can be difficult to obtain. These aren’t the rare concert posters from the 1960’s and 1970’s, but instead, far more recent from bands that I like. Others are just images I found appealing. I have listed these in alphabetical order. However, some of the more interesting and rare posters are toward the end when Tool is presented. Emek’s “Cyberman” and “X-Ray” posters for Tool are quite appealing.

In general, these posters are part of my personal collection and are not for sale. However, I can be swayed to sell or trade if the offer is attractive.

didn’t know where to put this. It’s definitely a political statement by Emek. He has many and they are quite entertaining regardless of your political bent.

Band: Foo Fighters Venue: Adams Center, Missoula, Montana Date: May 26, 2011 Artist: Emek Run: Aluminum variant (52 of 90) Copper variant (12 of 100) Image: Click for larger image (Aluminum variant) Click for larger image (Copper variant) Notes: I know, both images look the same. It’s so hard to photograph copper

under any type of lighting and have it look like something other than aluminum due to the reflection of light off of the copper. The left image is the aluminum variant the right image is of the copper variant. Both could only be obtained by answering a question from Emek directly. You had to be on his email list for the offer. Those that answered the questions correctly could then purchase the posters. I did not guess correctly and purchased these from people that provided the correct answer. I do not recall the question.

Image: Click for larger image Notes: This was an advertisement for the 2000

summer tour. Unfortunately, as you can imagine, Absolut had a problem with copyright infringement and the advertisement had to be pulled. As a result, there aren’t a large number of these out there, but it’s still relatively easy to come by one.

Venue: Stubb’s Bar-B-Q, Austin, TX Date: May 25, 2005 Image: Click for larger image (front cover) (back cover) Notes: These were menus used for the concert. Not sure if these were offered to all

ticket holders or if someone absconded with one. Either way, great artwork.

Venue: 1999 Berlin show at the Columbiahalle, November 22

Standard Version Woodgrain Variant

Click for larger image (71 of 75) Click for larger image

Notes: There were actually only three posters officially issued for the show: the standard version (print run unknown), the woodgrain variant (print run of 75) and the foil variant (print run unknown, but very small). The other variants were never offered to the general public. Rumor has it that the printer was experimenting with different inks, generating a handful of copies of each. Emek then signed and distributed them to friends and associates. I have six of those other variants and believe there may be three to five more. These are not handbills, but instead full sized versions. Foil Variant Print run is unknown Click for larger image

Venue: Toyota Center, Houston Date: October 19, 2005 Artist: Jermaine Rogers Run: Unknown for both Notes: The green version is the standard version. Jermaine Rogers signed and doodled on the

standard version. However, I have never seen a signature or doodle on the blue variant. That’s not to say he didn’t sign or doodle on the blue variant, just that I have never seen one. Click on the links above for larger images of the two versions.

Venue: Astoria Theatre, London Date: September 13, 1991 Run: Unknown Image: Click for larger image Notes: A very early NIN poster

from their first concert tour after release of their debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. The poster is quite boring and nondescript; definitely not one of great value or interest.

first printed – there are additional printings – for an exhibit of Jamie Reid’s work in 1986 at the Hamilton Gallery. The front of the poster was designed by Jamie Reid while the artwork and text on the back of the poster was designed by Jon Savage and Jon Wozencroft. This is an original printing for the exhibition.

X-Ray – My second favorite image produced by Emek and in some respects, more popular as it has been produced on other medium, namely anodized aluminum. I have many of the anodized aluminum versions with the 24”x24” “Test Proof” from 2007 the earliest version I could find. And at a run of only 10, quite rare. Please see the link for “Miscellaneous” for images of the anodized aluminum versions.
