The list seems to be pretty comprehensive and actually a lot more varied than I would have expected. Obviously the list is open to interpretation and I’m sure people have their favorites that didn’t make the list, but that’s what’s great with any “Best Of” list. The list actually goes back as far as 1956 and covers a crazy array of artist including the obvious ones (the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Coachella festival), classics artists (The Beatles, Elvis, the Rolling Stones, James Brown) and everything in between (Elvis Costello, Thelonious Monk, Pennywise, The Decemberists, the Family Values Tour).
My favorite one on the list comes in at #23 by the House of Blues Concerts. It is a poster for Ben Harper’s performance at the Sasquatch Music Festival, May 26-28 2006, at The Gorge. There’s just something about the way the poster captures Ben Harper’s facial expression in the tree's leaves that I really like.
Once again if you’re interested in purchasing the new coffee book Pearl Jam vs. Ames Bros., you can do so here or here.
