 One of the last few years though they did have a record show. Not sure what's on tap for 2004.

 Kozik was at the show - very cool. Wish I had the talent to that. What a life.
 
 I know where you mean. It's probably dead now - there's a Virgin there.  :(

You guys must all be single. I don't think my wife would let me put a concert poster up, even if I wanted to. Well, except for the vintage Hank Williams concert poster that was up before she moved in.

actually, my g/f loves the posters.  she's let me put them up in the kitchen, since she gave me that room as mine to decorate.

you can't just tack 'em up or tape them. get them framed. then they're like a fine piece of art.
 
 that site above - the shame of rock n roll - has a section where he posts photos that buyers have submitted showing their purchases in their new habitat.

Not necessarily...
 Concert posters and posters in general, have an artistic and graphic quality. (Look at the poster Grotty just bought, pretty cool). They can look even nicer framed.
 Too bad your wife won't let you put posters up.

you are way wrong...remember the graphics show they had at bumbershoot? I thought many of those posters were pretty cool...this comment really surprises me, Rhett...and since when do I have any say about what you put up?

I dunno, I have tried to grab concert posters at shows before...
 
 Anyway, I think those things are ok for a rec room, but just sort of tacky for a living room.
