Just opened this. Cool idea, but not an ideal song selection out of the gate. Depending on the designs, I'll probably get a few of these based on my favorite songs. Two Step, Nancies, Grey Street, Big Eyed Fish. Probably Ants. Satellite isn't close to one of my favorite DMB songs, but I bet that poster will be gorgeous.

Phish is doing the same thing, some people speculated if these were designs meant for the 2020 summer tour.

Really cool idea and I like the poster but I won't be buying one of these unless it blows me away. I bought two posters from the drive in and still haven't done anything with them.

thanks. that was my guess, but you never know.

There’s 3 on eBay from $350-400 :lol

Okay, seriously though: If you saw the poster design and had to guess what song it was based on, would you choose Everyday?

Love the idea. Weird start to the series.

Finally they take something from the Phish merch department. This one isn’t for me, and I’m not sure why you’d include lyrics and not put them on the front to be visible, but there’s major potential for some cool song prints that may be impossible to pass up.

Lyrics on the back make no sense. Strange decision.

What songs do you all love that you hope to see a poster for?
For me as long as the prints aren't atrocious, might look for Grey St., Raven, Big Eyed Fish, and Nancies

It’s a cool idea and I would pick one up depending on the song/design.

Depending on the designs, I'd probably be up for these:

Two Step
Nancies
Big Eyed Fish
Dreaming Tree
Warehouse
Seek Up
Pay for What You Get
Ants
Billies
Grey Street
One Sweet World

You Never Know, Tripping Billies, Warehouse, The Dreaming Tree, The Last Stop, Halloween, The Stone, Crush.

But we will get American Baby, Funny the Way It Is, and Can’t Stop

Another chance for artists that had limited opportunities to produce prints in 2020 to get paid.

Exactly my take on and part of why we bought two Drive-In posters for shows we didn't attend...we just loved the designs. Woulda bought three, but missed out on the Flames poster. We dig his work and have a couple of them, but I don't think we'll be going after this one.

If these were song inspired, this one does speak more to You & Me as someone mentioned, but I could the band/mgmt being aware of the ire of the song for many. So, maybe they chose another less triggering tune?

I like the idea, especially for supporting the poster artists that have taken a massive hit for the last year too. If they have some intriguing and compelling designs for some of my favorite tunes, I might just have to beg my wife to buy one.

Hmmmm....so do you think some of these were pre-planned 2020 summer tour designs that they just repurposed with lyrics on the back?

I bet the popular artists will get the unpopular lyrics, and the songs most people want will be on ugly Methane prints.

Re: Song Poster Series
 
Everyday is a song my wife has actually come to love. She likes Flames, but the poster doesn't really embody the song...and as has been stated, the lyrics are hidden once it's framed.

To that end, I was trying to think if there are any DMB songs that speak of or to keys, be it directly or metaphorically. I couldn't think of any off the top of my head. Even a pandora's box kinda thing would have this making sense, but Everyday is certainly not one of those songs. To that end, it seems these will all have lyrics printed on the back, but the potential for little to no real connection to the actual tunes visually.

I do remember one of the big artists doing a very cool polar bear poster that he teased during last summer that I've not seen since. Something like that would work with Dive In, although it was a healthy almost happy looking polar bear.

Again, very cool idea. Love supporting the artists.

You do realize all these artists put out incredible work aside from gig prints, right? Don’t need a show poster to support artists.

I think everyone realizes that, yes.
