2Pac On Stage This Past Weekend, 2012 Performance Options

[World Dreamer]

This has all sorts of pro v. con applications.

For example, now my kids could see the Beatles or Buddy Holly in concert. That is a pro.

Also, 100 years from now, people will be able to see Lady Gaga in concert. That is a con.

With great power comes great responsibility and as of now the world is 0 for 1 in smart hologram choices, in my opinion of course.

Yes but they AREN'T seeing the Beatles or Buddy Holly in concert. This just reminds of all the people who didn't know that the Titanic was a real thing, give it time and people won't even know who is dead and who isn't.

I guess this offends me the most (though what they did with the original Crow movie was bad too) because I'm a musician and were I to have enough of an impact to ever want to be seen in a hologram, I would feel absurdly abused. Musicians get their shit destroyed in the system while they are alive, why after they are dead too? Besides, boiling a person down to a hologram is disgusting.

I should have seen this coming when megachurches started hologramming in their pastors, they started all of this.

No. Total Recall started all this.

For me, it wasn't who it was that turned me off (although I definitely wasn't a fan), it was the fact that he was "performing" along side a live person, as if he were also alive.
I'm not sure how to describe it, just found it weird....but I'm not against the practice of halogramming.

I loved Pac - so I think it's awesome.

All I can say is I'd be surprised if someone in Vegas doesn't turn Hologramed artists from the dead as a major show on the strip.

Personally, I think it's a sweet idea. You get to hear great music and the experience of visually seeing what it would have been like to see the person on stage.

I'd say there would be a market for it.

It actually makes sense to me as a Vegas attraction and a one-off thing even, but once people start talking tours it makes me throw up in my mouth.

Would also be a good idea for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. Make it an exhibit, but don't tour...

That's actually a great idea because the Rock and Roll HOF sucks (just like the rest of Cleveland).
