Would you go to a hologram concert? (1 Viewer)

Ever since I first saw Michael Jackson's Thriller video I wanted to see him in concert.

I never did.

I've seen impersonators and tribute bands some better than others.

But the chance to see the real thing was gone forever

Or was it?



This is from the 2014 Billboard awards and the technology is improving all the time.

They can recreate an pretty authentic Michael Jackson concert.

Hell, they could recreate MJ in all his iterations, I Want You Back J5 Michael, Billie Jean Michael, Bad Michael.

There is talk of a resurrection series of concerts with many legends' names being brought up. Michael, Whitney Houston, Billie Holliday, Ray Charles, Elvis etc?

If any of them happen would you go?

Would you rather pay to see a real 73 year old Paul McCartney or hologram versions of the Beatles at their Ed Sullivan Show/ Sgt. Pepper best?

Personally, if I was a fan of the artist I would absolutely go.

But I've read that many disagree and say it's a desecration of their memory

If I go to a concert, it is to hear LIVE music. This type of concert would never be LIVE.

I am not saying I wouldn't go, but it would be more like seeing a documentary about the act or a movie like "Woodstock". I would go, but there isn't a chance in hell I'm paying concert prices. More like paying movie prices.

I'd go see Tito Jackson impersonate Michael, but I don't know if I would pay to watch what is essentially a glorified movie.

Jem and the Holograms maybe. I don't know if you've heard, but they're outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.

I would go to a hologram concert, although I wouldn't want to pay the same prices I would be paying to see the actual artist live.
