Best Sonic Youth Concert Poster

dazedcola · 02.26.2009, 02:58 PM

It always seems the better the band the better the concert poster art and SY seem to be one of the best examples. I could stare at them for days they're so entrancing.I want to put the best one up on my wall but I feel I might be missing some really good ones I havent seen yet.Is there a site where they're all collected? (If not, moshe get on that!)

So begins the hunt for the greatest SY concert poster...

Good thread. Concert flyers have some of the best art on them ever.

is it weird that this is on my site and i literally don't recall ever seeing it?

i love all those effects pedal posters from the philly show one year, i think. murray street tour?

i remember when i added the 2006 (or maybe 2004?) posters from a salt lake city gig (i think? haha) i thought they were supercool. so many of them are just amazing pieces of art!

oh, but my all time favorite:

(pretend i put the one w/ the x-men girl here)

there is an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 which as a funny quote..

it is from Timechasers

a scene where this nerdy dude and this chick are in a post-apocalypse future, and they are running down an ally with some posters and fly-bills up on the wall..

servo says, "its nice that after the apocalypse people still put up posters for their bands.."

A personal favourite because a copy was on the ceiling over my bed for several years (along with a Ciccone Youth poster)
