Seeking Aud Theatre 2006 Wilco poster


Recommended Posts

This is one of my favorite pieces of concert art. I had one nicely framed and prominently displayed in my home. My house, however, was the victim of the November 17th tornadoes that tore through Central Illinois.

 

Does anybody miraculously have an extra? It's the print of the Chicago skyline with WILCO spelled out in the girders of the L track.

 

Thanks

Hey, dude.  Sorry to hear about your house.  I'm glad to hear you're ok.

 

I did some research.  I think the poster you're looking for is this one, from the 24 & 25 November 2006 shows at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago.  It is, unfortunately, sold out in Wilco's own online store.  It appears the poster has been unavailable since at least 2010, when someone was trying to find a print on Gig Posters.  Someone in that thread briefly claims they might have some; their website now redirects to tumblr and facebook.  It's a long shot, but you might be able to find some there.  Beyond that avenue, you might have to spend some cash to convince someone to part with a print. 

It's a gorgeous print and I'm sorry to hear yours was lost.  I hope you have luck finding a replacement.

Yohansen5b,

Thank you so much for your research. I was able to find a copy from the original printer. He had a spare copy. I am excited. I lost a bunch of concert prints but this was the hardest find of them all.....and definitely my favorite. There was good news that came out of losing my home. My record collection which has numerous Wilco first pressings was left untouched. Those may have been a bit tougher to replace.

Dude, I'm super happy to hear the update.  What luck the printer had a spare.  Glad I could help!
