Title: Concert Lithographs
Post by: Prucc on July 14, 2016, 01:08:36 AM
Are there multiple versions of lithographs at the concerts? I noticed on eBay there were two different Chicago lithographs.

There were two shows in Chicago so there was one different lithograph for each night.

Have the lithographs been available at all booths?

I can only speak for Nashville... I did not see any for sale outside the stadium at the merch truck (I even asked one of the merch workers in the truck and she didn't know anything about show posters  ::) ).  Inside I saw posters at two of the six or so tables.  If the show posters/lithographs were at any of the other tables I did not notice them... there was about 100 or more shoppers at each table so the view of the posters may have been blocked by hordes of people. 

If it helps, I got to the stadium around 6.  Stood in the merch line for about 15 minutes and had no problem getting a poster and I did not see anyone else buying them and did not see anyone else walking around with one the whole night.  The print run was only 400 though and we had over 40,000 in attendance. 

I brought two rubber bands with me so I could roll the poster and carry it around easily.  Worked perfect!

Yeah there was 1 poster for each night in Chicago. Both badass!

Many of them are done by someone named arian buhler (on instagram @arianbuhler ) , does anyone know who is doing the others?

Outside of Chicago, I think Detroit's is the coolest.

I think Cincy or Cleveland - the one with the Astronaut was pretty badass.

I didn't see any of them at any stands in Chicago.  Got there each night around six, and none of the vendors even knew there were supposed to be lithographs.  Only piece of merch I wanted too.  :mad:

The main level(100s) is where I found mine. I had to go to 2-3 of em to find em

I'm assuming I'll have to get there pretty early for Met Life to snag one. I recommend anyone else do the same.

I didn't see any lithographs at the DC show either. Got lucky finding the shirt though. As for Vegas, the shirts were harder to find then the lithographs. I just didn't want to carry the lithographs around at the show and travel with them. Kind of kicking myself now.

How much are the lithographs?

they are $50.

I bought one at the Pittsburgh show.  Found it at the main level inside Heinz Field.  It looks really good.  Only 300 made for Pittsburgh, and I assume it's 300 for most cities too.

If you are thinking of buying one....bring something to keep it in.  They didn't even have a bag for me.


Title: Re: Concert Lithographs
Post by: Ja5oN on July 17, 2016, 09:59:30 PM
Some additional info.  I saw them at the Toronto show at multiple merch booths.  There were 400 for that show, individuality numbered (bottom right corner).  I bought 4 below that somehow managed to survive the concert and beer being thrown on top of us from upper levels.

What's the quality like? True lithograph?


Title: Re: Concert Lithographs
Post by: Ja5oN on July 20, 2016, 10:13:05 AM
I'm not sure how to answer this?

It is thicker paper....feels like Bristol board, smooth and shiny.
You can feel the print....like if you run your finger front the white boarder onto the black, you can feel the transition.

I am very happy with the quality.

If you have a more specific question I can try and answer.

So far Foxborough and Chicago have the best litographs, followed by Philly..

The MetLife lithograph was extremely disappointing. Would have bought it for $10-20, couldn't justify fifty bucks.

Maybe a better one tonight?

I bought the 7/23 one just for a collectors item. I have it framed already. But I was disappointed also. It looks blurry and not very detailed. I'm not sure of the connection to the city if there is one? I still cherish it but I think it could've been way better.

I liked the Sunday show one, but $50 was a little too rich for my bones. I did get the Jersey Devil shirt though.

The Saturday lithograph was a head scratcher. It looked like a brick wall with fireworks. Nothing that really screamed New York or New Jersey.

There were shirts to match lith? I didn't see any in Foxboro...that would have been cool.

Sorry ICP...missed that it was Saturday Lith...yeah, I don't get it either, seems very generic.

I'm pretty sure all lithos have matching shirts. I know the two at Metlife did.

Agreed. Bought the lithograph from the 23rd. When I first saw it, I was pretty disappointed. Framed mine too. Looks sharp but I like the lithographs from the other shows better.

I really want to get my hands on a Gillette lithograph without having to spend $100-150.

New Years Eve ball??  ???  I don't see that at all in Saturdays lithograph.

The first thing that came to my mind was a typical apartment wall with the best above-the-bar sign ever!!!!  ;D

Does anyone know if there's a single page with images of all the concert lithos? I've seen some, but not all.

They were selling them outside the venue in Vegas, D.C. & Philly. They also had them inside. Got a poster and matching shirt in Vegas and Philly. I got the Vegas poster outside and luckily they had a plastic bag because it started raining. We stayed next door so I put that one in the room before the concert. The line at the outside booth in Philly was long so I figured I'd just grab one inside. I brought along an empty cardboard poster tube and they wouldn't let me bring it in (the security guy just kept saying "no signs, no signs". I showed him it was empty & told him I was going to buy a poster inside..."no signs, no signs"). They gave me a plastic bag with the poster but I didn't want to lug it around unrolled in the bag. My girlfriend was going to give me her hair scrunchie, but a woman at the merch booth gave me 3 rubberbands, which worked fine. I'd say try to bring a poster tube in (that way you don't have to worry about some drunk stepping on you $50 memento on their way to take another piss), but bring some rubber bands just in case. I love the Vegas design, but I think I like the Philly one better (plus it's the first time I ever bought a GnR shirt that wasn't black!)
I like some designs better than others, but I think it's really cool that they have a unique design for each show (not to mention it's a genius marketing move)

Can anyone give me an idea of how early the merchandise stands outside the stadiums typically open. Just trying to get a gameplan for New Orleans tomorrow. I can't wait...but I gotta get my hands on a litho.

The merch trailer was open at 4ish when we got to Foxboro...bought all my stuff and walked it back to the truck - So as to not ruin litho.

Add - not sure the litho's are limited either, because they were still selling 19th poster at 20th show inside stadium, and they appeared to have a good stack.

My only complaint about the tour so far is the NY/NJ merchandise has been the weakest so far, lol


Title: Re: Concert Lithographs
Post by: icpillusions on July 31, 2016, 12:32:10 AM
You'll land yourself a litho. They were still available at the end of the sold out Metlife concert. Most people think that they are just a $50 poster.

I really wish they'd do a "collage" of ALL the litho images, at some point, and put it up for sale on GnR.com.

I'd buy one in a second.

Really like these and they would be awesome in my house, but ebay prices are just mad

Absolutely no chance of it happening of course!
