Here is a rare pacific northwest poster featuring the popular indie rock band Pavement at the legendary Crystal Ballroom in Portland on July 13th 1999. They had just released their fifth and final studio album "Terror Twilight". Pavement embarked on a 6 month world tour in support of the record as relationships within the group became frayed. The band retired the following year. This is the first time we’ve offered this Original Poster in our auction.
