how far away are we from a hologram doing a full, nationwide tour?

not too far away, apparently

MJ i think is the super obvious pick to do a worldwide hologram tour. he was basically a hologram for the last two decades of his career anyway.

i'd be into seeing something like a live Dre/Snoop tour w/ a few Pac hologram songs as its stage show killer app, but the idea of buying a ticket to see just that is pretty depressing

what kind of whimsical latinate title will the tupac hologram cirque du soleil show have?

THUGLIFE obv

Tupaque

hah

It could always be worse, much worse.

The Man In The Mirror

xxxp: I mean, their other shows based on artists are called "Love" (Beatles), "Viva Elvis" (duh) and "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" (also duh) so I think we're going to be lucky if it isn't called "2PAC: An Urban Poet Gunned Down In The Prime Of His Life By An Unknown Assailant Makes The Perfect Soundtrack For Chinese Contortionists"

Bellagio, 2014: Yo.

the funny thing i think is gonna be now a bunch of profitable past-their-prime artists are probably going to do these elaborate 3d scans of themselves performing now so that after they die we can have a middle-aged Madonna or U2 hologram instead of a youthful '80s version

i find this all disturbing beyond belief but i feel like 15 year old me would be psyched at a world with an idoru tupac

I think doing it as a surprise at Coachella was cool, but having people pay with the expectations of seeing Holo Tupac seems really shitty to me.

sorry, but this is still the best combination of real/animation in the live gig sense :

or of course there was this :

there were plans to 'tour' this type of show live, but the costs were massively prohibitive.

such a shame as that could have made the plastic beach shows a lot more more interesting.

hope that I live to see something like this:

2012: A holographic Steve Jobs introduces "the new iPhone"
2015: For the tour's 25th anniversary, Madonna stages a holographic Blonde Ambition tour that's 1990 all over again
2017: Peter Hook wins intellectual property rights to the look of Joy Division in 1977. Virtual Joy Division finally complete that US tour.
2019: For its 50th anniversary, Woodstock is holographically recreated and runs continuously. 3 days of peace and music but without the mud!

Also... 2019: There are rumors of a holographic Stones playing a holographic Altamont

the holographic Grateful Dead decide to stay home and jam

There is a Drowning Pool live album called Loudest Common Denominator.

i would go see a holographic rodney dangerfield in a heartbeat

rappin rodney got my attention as well

Thought "The Tupac Hologram" was a new band name.

apparently the guy who made the hologram was on bbc breakfast this morning, don't know what was said; i like to think that the breakfast hosts grilled him on the definition of the word hologram, humphrys style

they presenters called it "a remarkably realistic 3D projection"

to his credit the dude calls it "an old theatre trick"

a coworker just emailed this to me

i would go see a holographic rodney dangerfield in a heartbeat

will stick with my memory of seeing him carry a window fan out of Bloomingdales.

aw :)
