I need to watch the first 2 on your list, but Pig was amazing! I really really enjoyed it and I agree that Cage played the character really well!

23rd August - Memorabilia Monday.
Show us some cool memorabilia (poster, ticket stub, photo, etc) of a band/musician and play one of their albums.
The Rolling Stones - Tattoo You
Seeing The Stones live was always a bucket list item for my wife and I. We finally got to do so in 2019, and bought a poster to commemorate it. The concert was a blast.

The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
Creating a little difficulty for this prompt, all my memorabilia from the past 20-25 years is currently sitting inaccessible in storage, other than my Weird Al ticket from the last show I attended 2 years and 2 days ago - but I have no Weird Al records to spin with it!
After a bit of thought, I decided I'll play this and attach a digital poster for the festival where I got to share a stage with John K Samson. I've been fortunate to share festival bills and stages with a plethora of amazing artists through the years and rarely get too starstruck in the process, but I was definitely 3 extra shades of giddy while doing the "Poems Musicians Make" workshop with Samson, who is one of my absolute favourite songwriters - especially when he turned to my cohort and I after we'd finished our 9-minute piece about shipwrecks and bike accidents in the Pacific Northwest and said, "That was really good." I definitely squeed internally while trying to keep a calm veneer on stage at that moment
*John K Samson & The Winter Wheat is 3/4 of The Weakerthans, and 2 Dope Boys in a Cadillac is me and another John(ny MacRae)

For my 50th birthday, my wife and I went to Brooklyn to see the last stop on the David Bowie Is... exhibition. It was absolutely wonderful.
David Bowie - Live In Berlin [1978] - Sadly this is a totally crap pressing but hey a collector has to collect. They must have pressed quite a few since there are 1200 owned copies in Discog.
Included in the picture is the album, my ticket, exhibition catalogue and tote bag.

Earth, Wind & Fire - “All N’ All”
In 2018, I happened to be in Las Vegas for the opening day of EWF’s return concert tour starting at the Venetian. I was able to snag a last minute seat and had the time of my life! I got this copy of “All N’ All” at that concert - one of the few EWF albums I did not own. Below is the concert poster from the Venetian residency.
