360 Degrees In Music



HOLOGRAM MUSIC ARTIST'S RESURRECTED, just lately I've been seeing these stories all over the news in relation to the recent 2PAC HOLOGRAM which was recently used to perform on stage alongside  SNOOP DOGG at the COACHELLA FESTIVAL.
Now it seems a lot of fans and critics alike are loving this new concept and technology, I can see where they're coming from, you're at a gig or concert for your favourite artist or band and then up pops a blast from the past for a surprise duet!

Unfortunately I fail to see the good side to this concept, don't get me wrong, if I could of had the chance to see just some of the legendary, and some of  my favourite artist's from the past including MICHAEL JACKSON, ELVIS PRESLEY, JOHNNY CASH etc I would have loved to.
But the problem i have with this is the fact the artist has no appreciation for the fact that you're even there, they cant feed off your emotion or excitement the same way you cant join in with them, as you would of done when they were alive.
For me the whole point in going to a concert is be able to interact with the band or artist to request songs, watch them perform as it should be done, getting something different each time, having them shout out how awesome it is that they're there in your home town, telling you your the best crowd they have ever had, telling you what's coming next, what to expect, just general adrenaline and excitement.
If your going to watch a hologram, surely you might as-well just watch the same thing on DVD at home ? plus it  would be a dam sight cheaper.
I just feel the memory of the artist should be left in peace and how we all remember them in their heyday, if we go down this road, where will it stop ? ELVIS headlining Las Vegas, MICHAEL actually performing his 50 sell-out dates at the 02, NIRVANA doing another unplugged ??
These are just some of the artist's that are being talked about to be made in to HOLOGRAMS as well as FREDDY MERCURY ,WHITNEY HOUSTON and JIMI HENDRIX, i'd like to clarify that this is just my opinion, I just wonder where it will lead us to ? and is it a good road to travel ???

ENIGMA.
