No Aus Poster?

[Dillsnufus]

was there a poster for any of the mmj shows? in Australia

[Buckles]

Yeah, there was.

Yes, there was. it was only available at Melbourne and Sydney sidesows. And on the poster it didn't have BDO dates... I bought one.

I just bought this poster off ebay. It wasn't sold at the shows, rahter, it was used for promotional purposes:

Very cool  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I had no hesitation in picking up the silkscreen, it's a beaut! And only 100 made. Pity the artist's name isn't on it, still haven't worked it out (poster hasn't been added at gigposters.com yet). So pleased the lady selling the merch agreed to hold 'em till the end of the show, as mine would definately have got beer-soaked.

I also picked up the Ken Taylor Neil Young poster at the Myer Bowl gig, which is stunning. Everytime I return from a merch tent my wife just rolls her eyes. We almost have no wall space left and my dresser is stuffed with about 50 T-shirts.  I'm determined to buy nothing at the Cardinals show tonight...well, maybe a badge  ::)

Yeha Matt, i have the same merch problem as you. i got about 50-60 band t-shirts in my wardrobe. And whenever a poster is there i buy it.
The MMJ poster is great, i need to buy a frame for it. That poster and another one, are just istting in a tube in the corner of my room. Did you go to the Billboards show? I just held mine next to me all show, with a beer in the other hand, so i cldnt clap! LOL....

Yeah, I scored mine at the Billboard, they were kind enough to hold it for me and my sweet wife went and picked it up as the encore came to an end.
I love gig posters and have bought a few favs off the net in the past from US gigs, but great to now have a couple of stunners from shows that I've actually gone to.
Managed to resist all the merch at RA & The Cardinals last night in Wellington, though did manage to still take home a momento, one of Ryan's guitar picks which my wife found under her chair when we were leaving.
Second time I've seen the Cards and wow, talk about happy campers. Jokes aplenty, no going off at the audience - they even played a few old Heartbreaker, Gold tracks. Quite a contrast to when I saw them in 07.

Quite a contrast to when I saw them on Saturday night - not much banter, terrible technical issues that were clearly giving Ryan the shits - they walked off (complete with RA chucking his mic) 70 mins into the set.

Makes me appreciate the amazing show at Billboard Jim and the boys gave us even more!  :)

RA and the Cards did sound awesome though, for what its worth.

Yeah, Beebif, I heard the second night in Melbourne was a little temperamental. At Auckland show in 07 we got the full-on prissy Ryan, but the crowd kept egging him on, calling out "Two" and "Come Pick Me Up". I hate that, but that's Aucklanders for ya.
Last night he said it was the most enjoyable show they'd done all tour (they loved the sound of the old Opera House) and kept calling Wellington 'Chillington'.

Certainly does make you appreciate the Jacket's sonic consistancy and lack of melodrama. The majority of their set may not change over a tour, but damn is it tight.

Amen. I love Ryan Adams, but man, that guy is all about the drama.
