- August 20th, 1980 Heat Wave Concert Poster @ Mosport Park, Toronto
- Printed on thick cardboard
- Dimensions: 18.5" x 24.25"
- The owner of Glory Days worked at the original concert and secured the poster personally from the on-site backstage show office
- Heatwave was a rock festival at Mosport Park north of Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. The slogans used to promote the show were variously the "Punk Woodstock", the "New Wave Woodstock", or "The 1980s Big Beat Rock and Roll Party." 85,000 people attended but at 5 pm Dan Aykroyd, in character as Elwood Blues (The Blues Brothers), during a live radio interview from backstage with friend and festival promoter John Brower, asked Brower if he could invite everyone listening to come out and be on his guest list. Brower immediately agreed and within 90 minutes another 15,000 people poured into the park swelling the crowd to almost 100,000 just as Talking Heads took the stage as the sun set
- The list of artists that performed were, Vladymir Rogov, Teenage Head, BB Gabor, Holly and the Italians, Rockpile featuring Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe, The Rumour, The B-52's, Talking Heads, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, and The Kings
- The Clash were originally slated to perform (and are on the poster) but cancelled
