A crazy idea - help, please

I bought a sofa for my living room. The walls in the room are dark pink and the sofa is big and the wall above the sofa looks empty and bare. I definitely need something huge and cute to hang on this wall, or maybe even two or three cute things, like a lamp or a picture.
And I found this:
http://www.aleswiatlo.pl/Lampa_obraz_70x100-174.html
It's a picture and lamp in one, a picture lit from the inside. But I don't want a picture of a tiger or city at night like the ones they display on the site, no. What I want is a picture that I choose myself, and then they'll print it on demand (yes they will do it, I asked and they say they will, no problem).
Now to the point. What I fancy is something full of smoke and beautiful colours and some structures looming from the smoke. A stage, some minutes before a gig starts. The smoke, the lights, the beauty, the tension. Something - say - like this: :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/29667306@N ... 848710875/ but more violet or red or green or blue, the more smoke and the less visibility of the black structures the better.
Does anybody of you good people out there own such a photo in very high resolution (the printed picture is going to be big y'know) and could share it? I can pay with money or beverage or whatever.
And don't say I've gone nuts: I just want a photo of a Sisters stage just because it looks as good as any other abstract art, is that clear? :D

I think it's a great idea actually! Unfortunately I don't have the kind of picture you need, but good luck!

It might be a bit low res but it maybe better to screencap something from a more recent dvd rather than hunt a photo out?

Why don't you ask the guy from Flickr if he has something similar ?

I assumed the guy from flickr is probably reading this thread too. :D

Video screener won't look sharp enough - even HD.

I'd just check out what's available out there and try to ask the photograph if he would send you the source file.

Indeed and thank you and thanks everybody for all your advice. :notworthy:
But let me say again that what I'm thinking of is an emty stage (smoke, lights, colours, black structures), without the band. I want it to serve more like an abstract painting than a photo containing human beings. Not only because I don't want my guests and visitors to keep reminding me how nuts I am whenever they enter the room :roll: :lol: , but also because I like "mystery", in general. :D

If you know any capable visual installation artists I imagine that maybe they could make you up a light-box relatively cheaply, though as you realise the resolution of any picture will have to pretty high for such a size.

No PIB. The stage has to be empty because I just want to avoid having to perform a quick wank whenever I enter the room. :P
