Music and Live Events

I was absolutely blown away by this! Being a massive 2Pac fan, it was great to see him back on stage with Snoop (albeit in hologram form haha). What did everyone think? Creepy or a great use of advancements in technology?

The idea was fantastic but the technology is not new just now. It was used by Mariah Carey to perform live in 5 different locations in Europe the year before I believe. I can't see it taking off as a huge event at festivals and concerts.... mainly due to the fact that it was a surprise that no one knew was coming and that is what made it special. If people know it were to happen, it wouldn't have the same effect..... When I go to events I also like to know that I've paid my ticket money to see live performances.

Looks like the same tech used originally in Hatsune Miku's "live" performance in 2009 to me.

I'm curious as to who's going to be brought back to life via 'hologram' next - [edit] never mind - just saw the link in SBS's post.

I think this is just plain creepy. Tupac already has released more albums dead than he ever did alive. I think that the marketing machine has gone outta control. They will bring back the dead if no-one alive will sell records?

Don't mind a bit of Tupac........although NWA is the bomb
