I’ve got a pair of Raleigh Lithos that Is love to trade.

prefer Minneapolis (Peanuts)

Milwaukee (Fonzie)

Dallas (Giant)

open to others?

So I’m bursting at the seems with excitement for my upcoming week where so will see GnR in Raleigh, NC on Wednesday (I’ll be in line to enter when the doors open to get a lithograph) and seeing The Rolling Stones the next night in Charlotte.  
 

I know The Stones do lithographs for their shows, but seeing lots of show specific lithos on their website for sale, I’m assuming theirs are not limited.  Does anyone know about Stones lithos?

I get a litho or show specific poster from every show I go to if they offer one.

thanks for any info that any of you may have!

Love the inspiration 

Unfortunately, I’ve only got singles of the ones that I have and would like to keep most of my nitl ones.  I might be willing to get rid of something like a Cleveland that’s not all that popular.  I’ll look back through and see

I just saw the online “merch truck” just opened and the show shirt, and assumed lithograph, is based on the epic James Dean movie “Giant.”  Outside of the shows I’m going to on this tour, this is one I’d love to have.  Anyone offering one for sale at profit but not eBay prices, please ping me via DM.

I could see the vinyl release floated out there being some special live, or Absurd, or something similar for Record Store Day. RSD Black Friday will be here before you know it. Those releases don’t make a ton of money, but they generate lots of interest by the fans (both GnR and Vinyl).

so my guess is a 10,000-16,000 limited release for RSD.

Wow! Awesome! Hope I can get one!

I like all the lithos and do like this La one.  Looks like the font of “Los Angeles” is similar to The Chateau Mar Mont’s font. I’m assuming this is “My Michelle?”

other inspirations?

I like 500. Hoping that will help with getting one!

Totally feel ya on that one, Uzi! 
 

im in the process of making my garage my music room by insulating the garage door, putting in heat and air and getting my lithos you to surround my vintage audio set up.

you gotta take whatever real estate you can get when ya get to a certain point in life!

Can’t wait to see the pics of your faves hanging up, Uzi.

Rocco, that’s crazy the similarity!

having visited Mexico City and those pyramids (no way I can spell it), I’d love to get one of these

This is the final version of the design by Tim Lenoir

Guarantee the NFL wouldn’t allow that one with the play on their logo

I’ve got a buddy there (he’s in heaven, loves GnR AND Loves Snoop Dogg). He snagged me one. They were only allowing one per person.

any idea on the artist? While it’s a “Pretty” litho, not necessarily unique. Was hoping for a more close tie to the Super Bowl...then again, I know the Super Bowl is so protective of their brand that I imagine they weren’t allowed to

I'll volunteer to head this in terms of helping FaceFirst coordinate logistics.  As of now, I have 5 people who would be interested (nycgunner, Mcs953, ZoSoRose, alangarcianr, rossco).  Assuming we get critical mass for FaceFirst, I can help coordinate names, mailing addresses and email addresses.  Or if easier to protect people's privacy, I'll keep a list of user names and then we/FaceFirst can create a private Google Doc (or something) so only FaceFirst gets in the contact details.  For example, I have no interest in getting anyone's personal details, but I am happy to help facilitate since I suggested this idea.

Thanks!

Awesome. Add me to the list.

This is getting kinda crazy. If I may play peacekeeper:

Holographic Universe,  “FaceFirst, I think the design you did was fantastic and I had a copy made at a Staples. It’s for my use only. I don’t have any ill intentioned use for it, but I recognize it is your art and I’m happy to pay a fair fee for use of it.”

I don’t know what FaceFirst’s response would be in this case, but as we say down south, “you’ll catch a lot more flies with honey than you will with vinegar.”

now, what’s been on my mind...with the artwork over the last three years, the huge surge in vinyl, and my hopes of new music, I dream of a world where we get an album with gatefold with some of the greatest album art of all time!

Totally agree on Louisville. The colors are really different than any that I can think of. However, and I’m biased cause I was there with a ton of friends, but the Charlotte one was great too (I was at Louisville too, so could be biased there as well) Back to back, Charlotte and Louisville were as good as any back to back that I can think of. That’s why I was disappointed with so many of the rest of the fall tour. 
 

I know I’m in the minority, but I do still love the simple New Orleans design. Sometime plain or simple can still be great.

i do think that our expectations are high, now. I used to LOVE the Chicago mobster with Tommy gun litho from 2016. Looking back on it now, I still love it, but it’s pretty simple.

Cafe Du Monde is famous for its coffee (still made with chicory when coffee alone was too expensive to make in the south) and it’s beignets. As Mcs953 said, a beignet tastes kinda like an elephant ear with powdered sugar. It’s delicious and terrible for you, but it’s a French thing.

cafe Du Monde has been a staple of New Orleans (and the French Quarter specifically) for Almost 150 years. 
 

check out the website, and he font is the same and the coffee (with chicory) cans are even the same color as the litho

May seem boring to many, but I like the reference better than maybe a Saints logo or something.

the 2016 New Orleans litho has some voodoo stuff, but only ideas that I think would have been above and beyond would have been a tie in with the Easy Rider movie that had important parts set in New Orleans or maybe something on Marie Lavoix (spelling?), or possibly to allude to some of the city’s great musicians (Fats Domino, Dr John, the Nevilles, etc)

Yes, it extremely plain. However...

It’s an homage to Cafe Du Monde and I LOVE it! Would Anyone going Be willing to snag me one? Please message me.

It’s generic in the way that it’s just the skyline with the Redeemer Monster on it. If I was at the show, it would be cool to have. 
 

I was thinking that some kind of regency to The Outsiders would be cool, but just dawned on me that was set in Tulsa.

Shifting gears just a bit.

The guy and shop that I use for having most of my stuff framed likes to “dry mount” things that have been rolled before framing. This means the litho would be mounted on a conservation quality foam board, but it’s permanently attached to this foam board then framed. The positive of doing this way is that the litho would always be firm and flat and never become wavy. The only negative I can find is that it’s permanently attached to a foam board.

for those who have had your lithos framed, any idea of this was done to yours? Which direction did you go?

Thanks in advance!

Slightly off topic but to anyone who has gone to a non festival fall show- do they have a merch truck setup outside the show or is everything inside? Thanks! 

Charlotte did not.

I’d say $75-150 for 90% of them, less than that for 5% of them, then (way) above that for the highly desired 5%. 

Kinda quiet the last couple of days.  I thought the Austin City Limits litho was cool, but didn't get the tie-in.  Get the tie-in with the flag of Wichita, but still underwhelmed by that one. Thoughts?

Also, I believe that the market has cooled on these. Maybe because this tour has gone on so long and folks have gotten what they wanted, but I've seen less popular ones (Louisville 2017) selling for less than their original cost on ebay and see many of them just sitting there forever with prices above $100.

Also, I met “Tony, Toe-Knee” from here at the beer line in Louisville. Great to meet you!

I noticed that the ones from last night on eBay all have creases.  Like mentioned previously, it was nice that Louisville had tubes, but they were too small.  I actually was able to carry a tube in to Louisville by telling the gate why I had it. It’s worth trying with worse case scenario that you have to throw it away at the gate.

anyone going to any of the future ones this fall, I’d love to get you to pick me up one that Is gladly pay for litho and shipping or I have a couple extra Charlotte (although one does have some creasing) that I could trade.

I LOVE the lithograph from last night.  Great show as always, made better by catching up with 30 or so friends pre-show.  I grew up in the greater Charlotte area and was in Jr. High when the Hornets came to town back in 1988.  What I love is how they tied in the Hornets basketball team, but not so direct to athletics as the Hornets moniker has a long history with the Charlotte area.

In 1780, British commander, Lord Cornwallis was leading his troops in what was known as the Southern Theatre. It was a British attempt to win over loyalist in the southern states. His campaign began in Charleston, SC and headed north

That is when he encountered heavy resistance from the people of Mecklenburg. During the war, British Commander Lord Cornwallis referred to Mecklenburg as “a veritable hornet’s nest of rebellion.” Since then, the “Hornets” moniker has appeared throughout Charlotte history. From 1901 to 1972 there was a minor league baseball team by the same name. Also, UNCC and Davidson play annually for the Hornets Nest trophy each basketball season.
