That's a good point, but in his defense these kinds of posters are often more about the band than promoting the venue. And if I saw any of these walking around town plastered on a wall or street light somewhere I'd probably think they were pretty good. If I needed a poster done for my band I'd probably hire the guy.
But that gets back to the whole "Design, Art Direction, Branding and Illustration" thing. If what you're shooting for is a job where you take on a wide range of projects and skills, it makes sense to present your work in a way that highlights that flexibility. Seeing a bunch of posters and magazine spreads in a very similar format gives the exact opposite impression. Separate the illustrations out, separate the brands out (i.e., logo against neutral bg along with some applications) and be creative in the presentation. No need to show the work exactly as it originally appeared.
