I also like the fact that there are CT only poster variants. I knew I wanted the Port Chester print, but had no interest in holding on to it during the show, so I logged in at 10am the next morning, purchased it, then left my house and drove to Harrisburg 😁


Of course, I have far too many posters sitting in a profolio waiting to be framed, but that's beside the point. :LOL: But, The Capitol Theatre one is up on my wall.

this is true! when I saw them in Portland in 2019 the line for the merch was INSANE. It was also wet and rainy and I didn't want to hold a poster and have it get all rumpled up or wet. Went on CT the next day and got a CT only variant of it which I liked even more than the one at the show. When they came to Vermont this last summer I was so disappointed how poor the design was for the poster that I didn't get either one. The National have had some excellent posters over the years, this one looked like it was for a jam band or something you'd see in a dorm room on the wall. It just didn't fit the vibes for the National IMO.

I think my daughter bought the Shelburne print - that was the first show she traveled to and Matt stole her BF's phone and recorded her singing, but yes, I agree that it has that jam band feel to it. I met her and her BF in Portland a couple days later and I was expecting a gorgeous lighthouse print for that show. It had a lighthouse on it, but I was disappointed in the print. Again, I was in no mood to hold it through the show, so I ordered the CT variant the next morning, even though I was unimpressed with the color scheme.

The Pittsburgh print was, well, there's no nice way to put this, it is AWFUL. I know that it had something to do with Scott (my guess is maybe his kid drew it???) so I passed on it. The CT variant was a bit nicer because of its color scheme, but I don't like it enough to buy it, even when it was discounted over the black Friday weekend, and I would prob never actually frame and hang it.

Oh my god yikes 😬
 
The National always step up their poster game for Los Angeles. We have their 2018, 2019, and IAETF preview show posters up on our living room wall.
 
I can't find it now but my last show was September 1, 2019 in Palo Alto and really wanted to buy a poster but I remember hating it so much I felt personally attacked.
