Some Great Concert Posters

So, as you guys know, I'm a fan of representational art in general, and good commercial art in particular, so I figured I'd share some prime examples of a sub-genre that isn't super well known. These are concert posters -- posters that theoretically get plastered all over town to warn the inhabitants of the impending onslaught of overwrought fans on a certain day. They combine the artistic requirements of album covers and movie posters, for some very nifty effects. Hope you like em.

Coheed & Cambria in Anaheim

Simian Mobile Disco in Seattle

The Faint in Portland

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in Denver

Beck in San Francisco

Morrissey in Austin
(yes, that's Oscar Wilde)

Sweet Vine in Sacramento

Primus in Denver

Bob Dylan in Austin

Jay Farrar in Denver

The Mars Volta in Seattle

Placebo in Los Angeles

Likee? No likee? Let me know if you'd dig more stuff of this nature.
