What began as a way to promote an upcoming show has now evolved to be used to commemorate the performance. We now see gig prints for nearly every major performance, with some shows having multiple artists for a single show or creating individual works of art for each night for a multi-stay stand. Oftentimes, these concert posters, or gig prints, are screen printed, and signed or numbered, representing a limited edition, capping the number of prints that are in market. In addition to these show versions, many times artists have allotments they sell personally, usually after the event has taken place, these are marked as AE or AP and sometimes also numbered in themselves. The size of the run, the popularity of the show, or the art itself, can all impact the value of each gig print.

Much of the art features the iconic imagery of the Dead, including the Bears, Turtles, and of course Skeletons, including the Stagger Lee and the Steal Your Face skullie.
