I love this poster. My only complaint is that I think the tongue could've been done a little bit better but goddamn the colors and airbrushing are just gorgeous. Whether you like it or not, clearly a lot of effort was put into it.

And the tongue is the same of cardiff dragon ´73

A little bit but I don’t think that’s the problem. The tongue comes out and over the knee which makes the perspective weird. I think the idea was to pay homage to the Cardiff castle poster, as it uses the same tongue and all but imo the tongue is holding this back from being the best poster of the tour.

oh now i see what you mean

yeah that is a bit off putting

Not a fan of that poster...

Sure hope Vancouver is a good one EH !

The entire horses head should be a tongue.

I think there were better options for the poster. Like the mountain skyline or something similar.

It is sure as hell better than most of the others so far.

I agree the tongue looks out of place.

Don’t think it has anything to do with Cardiff. They’re playing at the home of the NFL team, the Denver Broncos. Atop the stadium is statue of the very bronco pictured in Stones poster (obviously minus the the Stones logo lips and tongue).

Don’t know how to post a picture but you can google it.

Was thinking the exact same thing! Any guesses on what it may be created around? Been awhile since they have been in Vancouver.

The broncos do also have a horse statue but the one on the poster is actually a reference to “Blucifer” the demonic horse statue outside DIA that killed its sculptor - We love him here!

Dont sleep on the warm up band tonight Widespread Panic.
They ROCK!

Good call!

I’m hearing little rumblings that SSOH might be back tonight, I’ll be curious if they soundcheck it today.

I sure hope the line for wristbands is better than in Cleveland.

What a damn disaster it was.

Merchandise Trailer on west side of stadium. They told me it will open at 3:30 PM today

Ahh now the shirt makes sense.... is that right after it bucked Russell Wilson off.. lol

will be interesting Stanley Park maybe - Surrounding Mountains? The pacific coliseum ref to the 1972 riots ? who knows but looking forward to it.

Thanks for posting a pic of the actual statue.
Frankly the big red eye on the poster was bugging me, but now I see it was a necessity.
