I came in expecting a zombie. This isn't that, but it's still interesting.

It's amazing what they can do with technology. It won't be long before there are concerts everywhere with hologram technology and you won't know if you're getting the real artist or not.
But hey, I live in a small town -- so anything that might bring entertainment our way would be welcomed!

Supposedly they've been doing this in Japan for years and have sold out large venues using this technology! Insane I tell you.

It's really interesting. His movements were kinda funny (at some points, it looked kinda like a weird version of the moon walk), but other than that, the technology is actually just insane.
I bet the crowd was wondering what the hell was going on, lol.

That's fucking badass!
Hopefully though, it isn't overused which it probably will be. I mean, great bring back Tupac - bring back Biggie but please don't give another excuse for these untalented Hollywood hacks to not actually preform live.
Half of these ''singers'' lip sync - they'll probably use this technology to sit their asses at home and rake in cash and just make songs in they're highly produced studio - along with their bullshit auto tune.
I'm a cynic. Love the technology, but we're going to fucking hate it too.

This is epic stuff, I just watched it and was coming to post here but again L1 and I have the same idea. He just got it here first that bastard! Haha!
I hear they did this for Michael Jackson as well, couldn't find his video though. This was cool to see and I wonder how Snoop felt being on stage with Pac even for what it was. Had to be a great moment for him and how cool is Snoop? He's one of the only artists who sounds the same live as he does on Album. I've seen him live twice and that's the only reason I'm still a Snoop Dogg fan. Awesome video.

I see this eventually coming full circle.
Soon, record producers will start putting on concerts with dead celebrities using holograms. Eventually, some artist who's career is waning and has fallen out of the limelight will fake his own death, then go on tour as his "hologram", making more money than he ever did alive.

Oddly enough, I agree that some attention whore will at least attempt this. |

One, it's Tupac, and no star today is at the star level of Tupac, and two, it definitely won't have the same impact the second time around. |

I WILL NOT REST UNTIL SETO KAIBA HAS BEEN BORN AND INVENTS DUEL DISKS
ONLY THEN WILL THIS TECHNOLOGY BE UTILIZED TO ITS FULLEST EXTENT
Jeff is totally right...though I believe that the fans would shit on that like it was the return of Fake Diesel and Fake Scott Hall.

I talked about Hologram Wrestling when I seen this too. I pictured them making the ring shake when Big Show and Andre The Giant collide. You could do it for the Hall Of Fame, that one last match. Live people could watch themselves. I also seen a video where a dude used it on stage, he was singing in Japanese but he had a hologram of himself. Same clothes, etc and they danced together and the people were going bonkers. There is money here, just the next trend.
