These next three are based on this photograph (courtesy of HolyShrineOfJourney.com's scan of the Japan Escape Tourbook...you don't want to know how much pixel cleanup and creative unwarping I did on the backdrop in GIMPshop, but I was absolutely and completely determined to have that soaring scarab and the gorgeous volcano field on my desktop:
(Before you ask... I don't know secret trading circles for finding the audio files for these concerts. Everything I have found, I have found using my powerful Google-Fu.)
June 8, 1976 - Seattle, Washington, Paramount Theater
(I didn't make a larger size, just this, based on a historical photo of the inside of the theater...)
November 18, 1976 - Vienna, Austria, Wiener Stadthalle
(I didn't make a larger size, just this, including part of the logo for the venue...)
July 31, 1977 - Seattle, Washington
(again, no larger size, just this, based on the cover from the Next album...)
April 28, 1979 Midnight Special television appearance
(I couldn't make up my mind which of these I liked better while I was working on them, so I made two, including the old logo from the now-defunct television show. I'm still working on a third and fourth, actually... click these to see the larger versions.)
1978 - Infinity Demos
(Again, I didn't make a larger image, just this, based on the actual album art...)
1980 - Departure Demos
(And again, no larger image, just this, based on the actual album art...)
June 26, 2005 - Irvine, California "Generation To Generation"
(I fell in love with the artwork for Generations, and wanted to create these with a red-purple scarab rather than the gorgeous yellow-orange one in the original album art. These are actually fairly large - click on each of them to get to the two larger files of front and back covers)
Enjoy!
