The Art of Rock-Concert Posters and More.

Starting with boxing style posters in the mid to late 50s, these images were bold advertisements that included large text, very little photos or art, and an address of a venue of the entertainment, perhaps a boxing match or a Elvis Presley concert. Moving into the was the beginnings of the era of the concert poster, a specific date and venue in time event, and the Lithograph produced these posters, which were created by artists hired by concert promoters

Hey John, that was really great and I'm going to definitely be tuning in to future installments. I am a big fan of rock and roll, heavy metal. And over the years I've collected some pretty cool concert posters, my favorite of which is a lithograph that was released by the band Mastodon after they played a show at Amoeba Music. At any rate, that was great. Looking forward to more pleasure to meet you. At least I the invoice

RE Mastadon

That's awesome. Taylor, I'm happy to hear that you liked my intro to art rock, and I'm excited to hear more about the Mastodon poster and also your experience with Amoeba music, because that is, is the epicenter of all things music and art and rock. I'm curious as to if it was the Berkeley, San Francisco or Los Angeles store. And when. Thanks, man. Bye

We were literally standing in the aisles where you're shopping for your music as we're watching them play. It was just fantastic. But then also the following day, I think it was they played at Jimmy Kimmel Live, and I went to go see them there. It was just a really fun couple of days. Good memories. Yeah
