I think what Scrojo was trying to point out is that it's real unusual for, in this case, the Stones to look the other way when there's the creation of posters with their tongue logo.
First of my two queries:
Seems you're ok with Alltell commissioning current commemoratives (ie, within 2 months of the upcoming gig) with your understanding that they're used for the Arena's promotional purposes.
Your posters are then non-merch (not re-sold) and also don't serve an advertising purpose. Right?
But does Alltel have the permission of the band? From the Stones, in this case? This is kinda like hiring you to create free merch for the promoter using the band's logo.
Was it done under a rider on the contract?
My second query, somewhat related:
Would everybody here be ok with, say, Live Nation commissioning (under license from the bands) historically important, re-created posters?
Some artists here have been successful in creating licensed gigposters for gigs that never had a poster, historically speaking.
But to my eyes, they never look exactly "right."
And in that spirit--no offense meant--your Stones poster looked odd, as in, why and how was this created? I mean, it's not exactly a tour poster, ie commissioned by the Stones.
ok, so if Live Nation were to commission "historic commemoratives" for any significant concert, say, over the past 25 years, that would be ok because it's sanctioned?

is there a line to be drawn between "current commemorative" and "historic commemorative"? The SF Fillmore series continues to be "current commemorative" as is this one (a good one too) for the Stones
On this site, people are pretty down on artists reaching back into history to do, say, a recreated poster for an early Iggy gig in Detroit.
the continuing SF Fillmore series is "commemorative" in much the same way. But "real" gigposters are all about serving to advertise, so I don't get your comment about "(happily) not having to do that stuff."
