Basher Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Saw this on the net today, and it certainly is interesting. I've been away from the tronz all weekend, so take this with a grain of salt. Phish announcement image: Now, look at the image of this Genesis Poster from a September 18-20 run of shows in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Wachovia Center. What does this mean?

zero Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think it says that Phish' graphic designer is referencing or 'sampling' in an overt way Genesis' graphic design reflecting a kinship between the bands and artists (kong? and ?).

What does this mean? There's been a lot of talk on a few sites I frequent that it'll be Genesis - 'The lamb lies down on broadway', even before this pic surfaced. Then again, perhaps Phish decided this was a good way to throw everyone off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) I find it hard to believe that they would tell Nate Duval what album they were doing. Poster artists are absolutely notorious for pre-releasing designs and information, as I suspect this thread proves.

Basher Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 So instead you are saying that Nate Duvall ripped off another artist? And it just happened to be a Genesis concert poster, a band that Phish inducted into the RRHOF this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 While I believe Genesis is a likely choice, especially considering Phish already did the Genesis thing this year. However sometimes the original reference is stronger than assumed implications. Both pieces are based off of this: http://www.pixxxiepie.com/wormwood/2010/01/03/beautiful-freak-o-the-day-the-dog-faced-boy/ Sure makes the Dog Faced Boy lyrics on the poster make more sense too.

Velvet Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 So instead you are saying that Nate Duvall ripped off another artist? That happens all the time, but it's usually referred to as an homage as opposed to a rip-off. Off the top of my head: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Sean I get that both images are based on the original Dog Faced Boy, but the Phish ticket image and the Genesis gig poster are identical. Not similar. Identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that Nate is a fan of either Genesis or the poster artist that created the Genesis poster and it's his own little homage. Could also be that Phish told him to somehow reference one of a list of bands to throw things off as Esau suggested.Could also be that I have some practicing to do. Those notes won't play themselves!

Kanada Kev Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 That Genesis poster has no real presence in the Genesis artwork/imagery. There are so many other pictures and images associated with Genesis and that just isn't one of them (other than it being on one poster for one venue). I have been wishing that Phish would cover Genesis forever. The Lamb doesn't have to be the only possibility for them to use as a costume either. Really, The Phish could possibly be wearing any of these Genesis albums as a costume and it would be crazy good. If you're interested in hearing what "classic era" Genesis is all about (Gabriel, Collins, Banks, Rutherford, Hackett), I highly suggest these albums to dig your teeth into. The Lamb is not one of the most accessible and takes some time to "get" To each their own however. I've been listening to these albums for almost 25 years and I still find new and amazing things in them.

Freak By Night Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think everyone here is overlooking the obvious fact that the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall, where Phish will be playing on Hallowe'en, is mere blocks away from a canning utility, right on the coastline. What more evidence do you need that they'll be covering Genesis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
