Better than the previous two, though a bit bleak....has the 'Steel City' vibe...

I am not happy to complain, but again, using the Cathedral of Knowing is a great idea, so badly executed... Why put a skyline when using such a spectacular low angle ?
And the rendition is too dark, unless they play Doom and Gloom...

First glance looked the Super Bowl trophy or something to that effect.....meh

Third horrific and uninspired poster in a row, I'd say

I just posted this on the show thread before seeing this one.
I bought lithos for the whole 2015 tour but I'm passing on these, unless I see one that isn't terrible

Or refer to the Steel City (until the 1970-80s) - hence the dark clouds.

Love that it says the Rolling Stones on it and not just Stones.. Sounds like I'm in the minority but so far I've loved three of the four.. Pittsburgh St Louis and this one are all kind of unique, Charlotte seemed a little bit uninspired

Drab.

Agree.. like The ROLLING STONES making it back on this one.
Like the graphics surrounding the image as well.. this one best on a litho imo.

Looking forward to the LA one(s?).. hope the transition back to the full name sticks.

*also, Charlotte seeming uninspired reminded me that Charlotte Watts designed some(?) of the posters a few years ago. Not sure of the designers of these, or her potential involvement, but not completely out of the question to consider she may have inherited some of the artistic duties for the band from her grand-dad

I've had the feeling Charlotte Watts is not taking part in the designs this time around, can't blame her.

I like it. Like that the "Rolling" is back. Black backgrounds I think are very fitting for the 1st post-Charlie tour. And the graphics could have been a lot worse.

I'm not sure everybody is always appreciating all the layouts in which the tip of the tongue is placed in the apex of a "V". Like here. That for me has redeemed a number of Stones concert posters, and definitely helps this one as well.

Best poster so far ....a sad cartoon like
face at top of tongue.... black or a darkness
has grown to be the main shade yet here on
the Nashville poster the colors seem to reflect
the pastels that Charlie would choose in his clothing .....

She had little to do with most previous tour designs other than collaborating on design concept, but the actual rendering was left to professional artists.
One of the exceptions was the Orlando 2015 litho (the green gator), which no offense to Charlotte, was amatuer at best. I think there was also a primitive killer whale/orca design that was mostly hers...
She might have learnded some more skills and techniques since then, and would be nice to see some of her work - it would probably be a step above the rest of what's been seen so far.

Well considering so many people on here hated this poster I just got parked walked up there and they said they sold out within 20 minutes of opening earlier today lol

.dont worry snoopy .... Remember what mick said

Everything alright in the critics section? ...

In my opinion, the Nashville poster is excellent. The colors are more vibrant on
the actual poster than what is shown above.

ya.. and I got what I "needed" in the end which was Connection & a helluva Rambler.. turns out what I "wanted" I didn't really need

The mosi iconic and idyosincratic thing about this tour are Keith's caps. They should include it in merchandise

The posters and merch were designed way before the tour started. Also each poster represents the city or a building, monument etc of that city not a Stone
Besides Michael Nesmith would be offended
