I'm assuming it's the same backdrop for all the shows. but anyway.

Anyone know who designed it or what it's from? I loved it and wanted to get a print or something of it for my collection.

The waves with the earthy colors. looked amazing with blue and purple lights on it. Incredible shows!!

thanks

    I'd be willing to bet that the backdrop is an E.V. production.

    I always thought it was taken from this:

    The Great Wave by Hokusai...a very iconic image.

  • I thought that too, my roommate has that poster on his wall. Very similiar, but hopefully it wasn't ripped off!
    But if it is an E.V. print..it has to be available somewhere. I wanna put it between my two posters from the shows.

    I don't know if it taken from that but, on a side note, The Great Wave was on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.

    It wasn't "ripped off" as such, but it certainly has been influenced by it.

    It was also in Europe in '07
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    The backdrop (and show :mrgreen: ) at the Vic prompted me to get this:
