Title: Stage Background Question?
Post by: Tockit on March 08, 2011, 09:06:20 pm
I went to the Durham, NC concert and really liked the painted portrait of a town that John used as his stage back drop.  I thought it was a pretty cool picture.

Since it's common knowledge that John's dabbled in painting in the past (maybe still does?), I was wondering if he had any involvement in creating his stage back drop, or if not, how that particular back drop was chosen?


Thanks!

interesting interview, I hope the european shows will be the same style and quality. I never was that interested in the lighting of a show, always focussed on the music, but after listening to Steve Cohen I will concentrate on what he said, and hopefully he will bring his lights and creativity to europe!
