My buddy at work showed me footage of Tupac's "performance" at Coachella last year or whenever it was. It got me to thinking..........if the rest of Nirvana were willing to do it, perform with a hologram of Kurt, would I go?

Damn hell I would.

Would you go see Hendrix? Or Joplin? Or the Beatles? Or Elvis?

do you see anything morally wrong with using a dead person's past performance for current profit?

    Interesting prospect.

    My first thought is yes! - always missed having had the chance to see Alice with Layne, or Shannon Hoon with Blind Melon, among the others you've mentioned.

    However, I think I'd have to get pretty high first :mrgreen:

    I already did this when I was ten years old and visited the Haunted Mansion.

    It's kind of creepy, could you imagine a duet of Eddie Vedder and hologram Andrew Wood?

    And then who speaks for the dead artist?

    Does Courtney Love get to O.K. a Kurt Hologram?
    or his Daughter?

    apparently Dr Dre got the permission of Tupac's family before going ahead with it. I'm sure Courtney would try to milk as much cash as she could out of it, but I think Frances owns everything Kurt related now.

    I would probably go, out of curiosity more than anything else.

    It would be great, for example, to see "Bob Marley" and "Peter Tosh" together on stage for the first time in like 40 years, but I think it would ultimately be a pretty unsatisfying experience.

    I hope Dave and Krist would never stoop to something as stupid and classless as performing with a hologram of Kurt.

    My brother would love that, he rarely listens to musicians that are alive.

    I asked him why. He said, "The are dead they can't talk about dumb stuff." :lol:

    If this happens I need to take him.

    The Topac thing at Coachella was superior and it worked for ONE SONG but overall I don't like the idea....this would wear thin very quickly. That said if there was an artist or musician I would see in this format I would take Joe Strummer with the rest of THE CLASH.

    I wonder how the banter in between songs would work :D

    they don't even perform nirvana songs with anyone else, so it's highly unlikely they would. this is just a fun, hypothetical question.

    I've been talking about this since I was a kid (actually, since I watched Wrestlemania III on a big screen in a sold-out Copps coliseum)- the real hologram market is in sports. Imagine packing every football stadium in the US for superbowl? Or the fans of the visiting team being able to go to the rink and watch the away games of the stanley cup finals? how awesome would that be?

    I'd go see the dead hologram tho too, if the price was right. why not?
    but then, if someone told me they were just going to play recorded nirvana to 15k people in a stadium while serving beer, I'd go to that too :)

    Trippy, yeah...but I love it!

    (and your avatar)

    Made me think about when we saw/heard(/FELT) the first live version of Arc in 2003. It'd be badass to have multiple holo-Eds doing each part of it.

    So you are saying you want Eddie to die?
    That is kinda mean.




    Has no one seen Vanilla Sky by Cameron Crowe?

    I didn't take his comment that way at all - like HFD said, hypothetical and entertaining ;)

    I tried to watch that film, by the way...I really tried.
