Pearl Jam concert poster

Stylistically, this Pearl Jam poster is very well-done. However, in terms of legibility, there is a problem. While the type fits with the image, it is difficult to make out the words within the image right away. I had a hard time figuring out that the show was in Montreal because the way the type is used causes a bit of distortion and leads to barely recognizable letters. As an advertisement (which this, hopefully, might not have been), this poster is rather weak for this. As a piece of concert memorabilia (which this most likely would have been), however, this type issue can be easily overlooked and the poster can be appreciated more for its overall design.
