Never listened to them before, but this poster convinced them to listen to go them right now.

Great thread!!! Good stuff so far!!!

I've been collecting concert posters for 35 or so years and probably have somewhere between 250 to 300 at the present time, not including concert handbills and postcards. I also collect movie posters and advertising posters but concert posters are where I got started. Here are some examples from my collection...

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8c862c37.jpg
A poster by Victor Moscoso from 1985 and one of my favorites of the past 29 years. I currently have it framed and hung in my music room.

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps307a09fb.jpg
Another favorite poster by Moscoso from 1967, also currently framed and hung in my music room.

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6edaaa66.jpg
Yet another Moscoso poster from 1967. Featuring a concert by The Youngbloods, Siegel-Schwall Band and lighting by The North American Ibis Alchemical Co.

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1da61a19.jpg
And another Moscoso from 1967. This one featuring Siegel-Schwall Band, The Steve Miller Blues Band and lighting by The North American Ibis Alchemical Co.

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4831fd6f.jpg
One more Moscoso, again from 1967. Featuring a triple bill with Moby Grape, Canned Heat, Vanilla Fudge and once again, lighting by The North American Ibis Alchemical Co.

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...pse014b5bf.jpg
A Poster by Stanley Mouse from 1967. Currently framed and hung in my bedroom.

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...psd9beee32.jpg
One of the most iconic concert posters of the 1960's, the "Flying Eyeball" poster by Rick Griffin, Featuring The Jimi Hendrix Experience, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Albert King, and lighting by McKay's Headlights.
This is the only poster in my collection that (unfortunately) is not an original 1st printing, as they are quite expensive and can sell for upwards of $7000.00 (US) when they show up for sale. Still nice enough that I have it framed and hung in my music room.

I had the T-Shirt. Dam wish I still did.

oh god my eyes O_O

Here are some more from my collection. These are by poster artist Mark Arminski. I bought the first 3 from a now defunct poster shop where I bought a lot of my posters during the 1990's and I purchased the last 3 directly from Mr. Arminski, after meeting him at the "Flatstock" poster show exhibit at SXSW about 10 years ago..

Hey, happy birthday!

One of the greatest shows of my life 9/12/2006

This thread got me motivated to dig into my collection and come up with some more examples of poster art by some of my favorite artists. Frank Kozik has been at the top of my list since I first saw his work in the late 1980's. Unlike some artists who tend to stick with an easily identifiable style, Kozik works in many different styles which is probably one of the reasons why I find his art so interesting. Of all the artists represented in my collection, his work makes up the largest percentage of my concert posters. A few examples...


http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...psdfc4b2d2.jpg
Jesus Christ Super Fly (1993) I have this one framed and hung in my bedroom.


http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps16798345.jpg
Butthole Surfers with Stone Temple Pilots (1993) This one is a pun on the Sam Peckinpah film "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia." I've been meaning to get this one framed for some time.


http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps75c1db24.jpg
The Melvins (1993) Another one I have framed and hung in my bedroom.


http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7c97aebe.jpg
Cows (1992) I used to have this one framed and hung directly above the TV set in my living room at a previous residence. It is currently hanging in my music room.


http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2606a1d1.jpg
Boss Hog (1993) Also hanging in my music room.


http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps939318d9.jpg
Surgery (1993) Another one hanging in my music room.


http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7e402b04.jpg
Untamed Youth (1992) Yet another one hanging in my music room.

Your collection is really impressive, I love that Melvins poster. Pics of your music room?

Psy fi....you have an amaxing collection and wonderful taste

but

I just have to point out that the Muffs poster was not done by Kozik....but rather by Coop :)

^^ Your Suspiria poster is freaking amazing too.

Glad you like 'em. I'll get some pics posted but it will probably be in 2 or 3 weeks. I'm in the process of completely re-modeling a bathroom which is next to my music room and while I was busting up the old cast iron tub, in order to remove it, the sledge hammer glanced off the rear of the tub and went through the wall between the bathroom and my music room. Luckily, none of my posters were damaged, as I had removed them from the walls prior to getting started. Since I'm going to be repairing the hole in the wall, I figured I might as well re-paint the entire room (something I've been meaning to do for some time, anyway) so I'll post some pics of the finished (new and improved room) after I'm done with my re-modeling.

Thanks, Bob. Glad you like 'em too! I almost posted a pic of a Lindsey Kuhn poster I have, which I also thought was done by Kozik, but I caught it before submitting the post. The funny thing is, I was thinking that Muffs poster looked a lot like Coop's style (I have a few of his works as well) but I didn't look closely enough. Now that you mentioned it, I can see his signature on the poster. Oops!

It's a good excuse to change it and make my next post dedicated to Coop!

i could easily see mistaking Lindsey Kuhn for Kozik....both are very similar in style.....i have a great Unsane poster of his



i also love his connecting posters like this one



look forward to seeing what you have as far as Coop...personally i just the Church of Satan screen print....been meaning to start sharking ebay for some of my favorites....but his shit really goes up in value quickly....the poster i have is going for $700 unframed....you must have a small fortune man :)



thank you

that was a real pain to get....the only printed 75 and i has to wake up at 4am to get one....they sold out ion less than 10 minutes....this one also has the most impressive framing i've invested in.....i'll get a pick posted of it framed....it came out amazing

also Paul....i can';t imagine what that ditty Bobs poster means to you :)

and i love that Sigur Ros poster....actually it's included in my screen saver slideshow :)

although i don't own any of his work....save a couple of album covers....i love the artist Derek Hess....a coup[le of great examples

I have this one hanging in my living room.

^that is awesome

Made even cooler by the fact I got it from a museum dedicated to cats haha. It is splendid though, and I hope to go to the Montreux Jazz Festival next year, buy a new poster and hang it alongside!

http://www.amoeba.com/sized-images/m...AndyWarhol.JPG

I've this one hanging in my room. It's a reissue obviously, I could never afford any original VU memorabilia.

Could be a bit prettier though huh?

Very true. It was cheap and the picture is nice though. Probably more appropriate for a "Posters You Have" thread than this one.

**** that. That **** is kvlt.

I like the description of Nico as 'Pop Girl of '66'.

That Unsane poster you have by Lindsey Kuhn, is one of my favorites by him. I had the chance to buy it for $15 back in the day, but I spent my $15 on this one by him instead...

http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/...ps245676a1.jpg

I like that Church of Satan poster by Coop. I've seen a gold lettering version of it, also. I know what you mean about prices going up quickly for certain artists. I'm glad I started collecting when I did and was able to get everything for what I paid at the time, which was usually between $10 to $30 per poster. There are maybe half a dozen posters I paid $35 to $40 for, but I've never paid more for that for any poster in my collection and if I was just getting started in the hobby now, there's no way (short of a winning lottery ticket) that I could afford to replicate my collection.

I don't know man.....thats a tough one between these Unsane posters....yours does also sat Distorted Pony :)

That Emos connecting one is a really good concept.

He does a lot of those.....Most for that venue

Since i don't live in the USA none of the bands i like ever come to PR so i'll never see those cool posters in my town.

But thanx to the internet i found this one.



I was looking for one of their poster which has a skull with an old record player in his head but i couldn't find it.

Here you go...

The Melvins always have the coolest posters

Right? I've never seen one I don't like.

LOL, Utah.

A highly covetable poster though. :)
