I know this will likely upset people but this timeline lines up exactly with the rumor that Axl will hit the studio with Angus at the start of 2018 and then hit the road with AC/DC in late October or November 2018. It would also still give him time for a rest after recording the album and prior to an AC/DC tour kicking off. Not trying to rock the boat but I could see this happening. Angus seems to have great influence over Axl so if Angus asked for help I'm sure Axl will oblige.

I would be willing to trade a Miami Vice, George (Gorge), or a NYC Duff for the Chicago if anyone is interested. Message me...

Is that the first time this tour they've done a band member centric poster? Will the other MSG shows be Axl and Slash?

I know people spend stupid amounts on these lithos, but $900 is fucking insane.

If it's up on ebay then yea, up the price to whatever. But I've sold a couple lithos to people on here and only asked for what they cost me, I'd rather some other fan like me have a cool poster at cost than try to gouge someone for hundreds of dollars, that's pretty scummy.

And thanks very much my friend. The Gorge litho on my wall because of you looks fantastic with my Regina and Miami Vice posters.

I want to see this Buffalo on the back of the Vancouver poster...

Looks great! Is that Vegas poster way bigger or is it the camera angle?

Pretty psyched to see SA's tomorrow - hope I get one. How early have these things been selling out? Have you guys found that the merch booths have been pretty crowded when they open hours before the show, or just closer to show time? 

I only can comment on Regina. I got to the truck at about 1245 and I would say there was 15 people ahead of me in line. By the time they opened for business at 110 there was at least 50 people more behind me. I saw quite a few posters being sold but bought mine and got out of there. I had a cardboard folder I bought at the dollarstore and slipped it in there. Straight home at that point for some beers!

I know this might change venue to venue, but generally speaking, has there been a merch booth available outside of the venues before they open and if so, how early are they usually set up and selling? I'm hoping to get the poster at my show and dump it in my car so I don't have to carry it around all night - but I'll do what I have to do! 

Generally, how early do venues open before the shows? Anything more than an hour?  Cheers guys - thx!  

Been waiting 26 years for this experience again! Pretty excited. 

Typically the merchandise has been going on sale around 1 pm. I think in the thread for tonight's show someone said 2 pm.

That's so weird

I like it.  I see it's a Buhler like Regina.  I love Regina more but this is solid... But I'm biased to my hometown of course.

I think they park it out front pretty early but I plan on lining up early so I'll see if I can find out when it opens.

In Regina the truck was put there sometime in the AM and merchandise sales commenced at roughly 110 PM.

Not a huge fan of this but I'm not from Edmonton...

Sorry I didn't.  I just grabbed one for myself.

Awesome! I grew up in regina (as you may recall). Would be interested. Message me on Facebook, my messages on here aren't seeming to let me login and open them. 

Ahhhhh man. I totally didn't think of you. Totally forgot. Will do. Cheers. Message on the way. Take care.

I ended up with an extra Regina litho as I bought an extra for a family member that passed on it.  I don't want to sell it. I would rather trade it for another cool litho. Anyone interested? Send me a message and cheers all!

Agreed. Being from Regina I thought the poster was cool. They went with a theme I totally didn't expect which I appreciated the rest of planet earth aside.😂

Yeah but you do know that most people on the planet are completely unaware that a place called Regina Canada even exists, and for the ones that DO know about it, it's just a dumb vagina joke, right?

Wow.

 I wish I could say "oh yeah, I knew it as soon as I saw it that Buhler was back and that poster is an instant classic."

But I have to admit, it didn't impress me at all. 

I haven't been impressed with a poster since Europe.  I admit to knowing nothing about the histories/cultures of the various regions of Canada though.  If I were in charge of posters I'd be consulting with locals about what the posters could possibly represent.

I was equally unimpressed with the American leg though.  Here's hoping it picks up by the last leg.

Actually I kind of disagree as far as the Regina poster goes. "Pile of Bones" was a long used term that's dissappeared as Regina has grown since I was a kid. I instantly recognized it's significance and thought that aspect was quite neat. The Regina poster had much more real history behind it them the other Canadian posters thus far.

Will post more tomorrow and  also pics. In one word INCREDIBLE! Band including Axl was on fire! My wife and I were on the rail on Slash's side.  Just unreal! 

Regina...at home on the plains

If you look at a map of North America, you'll find Regina right at the center of the continent, in the heart of the Canadian plains. The land is flat and seems to stretch out forever. Regina is like an oasis of trees, people and buildings. Though now home to nearly 200,000 people, it was once barren grassland with no trees and little water.

Before the arrival of settlers in the 1880s, First Nations hunters came to the area to hunt the roaming herds of buffalo. They used nearly all of the buffalo they killed for food, shelter and clothing. Only the bones remained.

The Cree hunters stacked the bones about 2 metres high and 12 metres in diameter. They believed that the buffalo herds would return to the area to visit the bones. The hunters named the area Oskana-Ka-asateki or "the place where bones are piled."

The explorers, fur traders, surveyors and settlers who moved through the area called it Pile of Bones.

@Captain SK Thanks for the pics of the stadium, it looks great.  Hope you have a good show and thanks also for saying nice things about Axl, being an AC/DC fan an all. 

 I had the opportunity to see Axl help AC/DC in September in NYC at MSG. Truly a fantastic experience...

I know I know, I should have snapped a pic. But I forgot to mention that one of the tour shirts inside the venue had missed Winnipeg on the list. Skipped from Ottawa to Regina on the back of the shirt. 

That's crazy...

I am in Regina and I guarantee you they won't be recording the show and replaying it afterwards.  Hey will play the studio songs in order they were played in the concert.
