Product description
A 1985 concert poster with Deep Purple on the bill in Portland, OR, from the Strangers era.
About this 1985 concert poster
Concert posters were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive. This poster advertised a 1985 show in Portland. 1980s music posters reflected MTV-era style, from new wave graphics to heavy metal illustration. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night. Original concert posters were often printed in small runs, which makes surviving examples rare.
Styling this vintage concert poster
A 1985 souvenir of Deep Purple at Portland, it suits a listening room, studio or hallway. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. Finish this vintage concert poster with a black or antique-gold frame for a clean, gallery-style look. This vintage concert poster also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps. Keep this vintage concert poster out of strong direct sunlight to protect its colours.
