Posters Spring 2010 tour

[eleaf14]

The ATL poster was similar, but in black.  Awesome you got your's signed though.

Johnny looks like there was the 'tour standard' version available. I bet they will have these in the store before too long.

Did anybody see any at Sasquatch?? I haven't been able to find out if there even was one or not. I know only one of the merch booths was selling their shirts. Thats all I saw.

Sasquatch poster...

[bicyclejoe]

Picked one up at the show. It's awesome.


They had a few at the merch booth by the main stage. They went quickly.

Also, Erick26, at the beginning of the day at least, all of the merch booths had MMJ shirts.

Does anyone have knowledge of a poster for the MMJ show in Atlanta on April 23, '10?  I've seen most of the April/May shows in that standard design and picked up the Birmingham and Nashville versions, along with the Mike Davis Nashville poster. I also finally got my first show, Boston '08.  But no sign of anything from Atlanta 4/23/10.  Any ideas?  Any extras?

I am pretty sure there was no poster for that show.   From my research and talking to a few knowledgable parties, there doesn't seem to be one.

There were those standard "2010" designs for all other shows, with the following additions:
2 additional color runs for Nashville






(I'm trying to collect all MMJ posters, but it really hurts the wallet when not only are the posters mediocre, but they make multiple versions!)

And then unique posters for 4/21, 4/24, 4/30, and 5/2.

We stopped at the booth by the rumpas room. We were trying to find a girls shirt and were told that was the only booth selling MMJ shirts. I have a bad knee so I never made it all the way to the bottom of the hill to check out Easy Street records and the merch down there. Guess I will ebay one. I can say for sure that I saw 2 booths that had zero MMJ right after I bought my green owl shirt.

I hope they bust out a good one for Chicago.

Those billboard multiples suck bad (IMO)

and reall for a band that is this creative and artsy, for lack of a better word to come out with something so droll is weird....unless that's what's supposed to be creative about it.

I agree these posters were less than imaginative.  The photo used in them was a promo photo from long before the tour was announced, so its not close to new.  The posters are also somewhat evocative of the setlists, which were almost identical, save for three or four songs.  Perhaps that's what the different colors represent.

So I finally have aquired some posters, next step is getting them framed. Any suggestions for getting these 18x24's framed? Preferably looking to do it myself, but not sure best way to go. Thanks.

Great question.  I was assuming I'd take my 4 recently acquired posters to a framer, but recall from back in the day, when I worked for a camera shop, that framing can be EXPENSIVE.  I'd much rather do it myself and use the $$$ saved for the next poster.  Any advice would be appreciated.

americanframe.com or pictureframes.com, I use them both regularly.  

Here's a good link for some info on DIY picture framing.

One thing to keep in mind....it can be tricky matching matte colors over the internet, they never quite look exactly the same as they do on your monitor.  If you go black or white, obviously not really an issue.  Pictureframes.com will send you free matte samples, which is nice....then it's easy to pick the right colors.  If anyone has any Q's I'd be happy to give some info, I've probably framed 30+ items myself, it's a fraction of what it would cost having it done professionally.  


also, this thread has some nice pics of framed MMJ posters.....

Oooh, I've never used that pictureframes.com site.  I'll have to check them out.  Thanks for the rec.

[Nexty76]

Very cool, I am going to check out these recs. That link to the framed stuff is tough to look at my top three shows: MSG-NYE, Radio City, and the epic Bonnaroo '08 all there framed. Had no idea these things existed when I was at those shows, wish I did, although odds are that the poster would not have lasted the night.

[walterfredo]

it's hard to keep a poster in tact during a show, especially if they don't provide tubes.  For MSG we had a hotel rented right across the street at the New Yorker....some of the posters were being sold outside the venue before you enter, so I ran the posters back to our hotel room before we even went inside.  

[ALady]

I like to bring my own tube (yes, totally nerdy) and if they don't let me in with it, I keep a plastic sleeve in my purse - keeps the poster dry and intact.  Not as good as a cardboard tube, but it'll do in a pinch.

But yeah, ideally you'd do like fredo and avoid bringing the poster into the concert situation at all   ;D

[eleaf14]

I roll w/ the tubes to shows too. I remember for some of the shows in 08 they were doing the wristbands for the posters. That was so great...no worries during the show and no insecurities about looking like a poster nerd w/ tube in hand. At least that was the case for Myrtle show and from what I remember reading on here some of the other shows too.

As far as the framing goes...I generally like to roll w/ Michaels standard frames for gig posters, as long as they are 18x24. Really unless the posters become more valuable than a frame...I have a hard time justifying a nice frame job. And Michaels frames work just fine. If the poster is smaller than an 18x24 I will generally try and have a matte cut to fit the 18x24. That way its also not expensive to switch stuff around as the collection gets bigger.

I did just get the Moctezuma Raleigh framed up professionally...I made an exception there because of the size(pretty expensive bill for that one). I totally lucked out and got the framing on the house when an old lady accidently walked off w/ my order ticket last week. As soon as I get my camera back from the geek squad I will toss a pic up. It looks awesome.

[eleaf14]

Just got the camera back...here is the Moctezuma Cary print all framed up...


It really rounds out the 'jacket nook' quite nicely...IMO.

I have two print copies from famous Radio City Music Hall June 20th 2008.

Not looking to male a "killing" on them, I'd have to look up how much I paid for them with shipping

These are not framed & are brand new.

I stumbled across another 'custom' poster from the Spring tour that I wanted to share with fellow Jacketeers.  This one was done by Clinton Reno out of Columbus, OH for the Lifestyles Community Pavilion show on 5.2.10.  It really is a beautiful poster.  It is $20 + shipping...



Get em whilst you can...
