I love collecting rock posters! A lot of them I 'aqquire' from the walls of the venues I go to when bands play. Most of the time I have no trouble getting them. Others I get from record shows and other places. I have a pretty large collection with a lot of them framed.
1st we have Brother Wayne Kramer from the great Detroit rock band the MC5. He is doin a 50th anniversary tour of that great band. I have seen him many times and hope to attend this show and maybe the show the nite before also in Detroit at 'St Andrews Hall' 'Kick Out The Jams Mother F___kers!
2nd is Dweezil Zappa, one of the sons of the late great Frank Zappa. A accomplished guitarist in his own right. He has been touring for a long time mostly paying homage to his dad's work but also has his own wide array of music. Unfortunatly I missed this show back in May. The price was pretty high (and it's a lot harder to sneak into venues these days. lol)
3rd Carl Palmer, drummer elite! The only surviving member of Emerson Lake & Palmer. 1970's supergroup. He has been touring for many yrs now playing and celebrating the music of ELP. A 3 piece unit with a guitarist replacing keyboards and no vocals, just incredible instrumental jamming. This poster I had autographed by all members.
4th Mark Farner, singer,guitarist and songwriter for 99% of all of Grand Funk Railroads music. He has been touring constantly with his own band for yrs. My girlfriend and I have seen and met him many times. A few yrs back He gave shooting lessons to my girlfriend. He is currently touring with Blue Oyster Cult. I mentioned him in another post of mine and we have tickets to see them both in Sept in Jackson Mi.
Hope you all enjoy and keep Rockin!

Saw Grand Funk in Atlanta in '71. Nice post.
I saw Carl Palmer when he was in Asia. His drum solo was the best part. Usually drum solo means go to the restroom.
Very cool posters esp the autographed ELP
