The following are postcards and handbills that were produced for various concert venues in the Detroit Michigan area. I collected these posters as the concerts were happening, as I attended many of these shows. Most of these posters were removed from walls in a local headshops or concert halls where they had been used to promote the concerts. These are not reprints or extras printed up to sell after the concert had happened.
