Roy Orbison died 30 years ago but will perform a Toronto concert - as a hologram

This holograph technology is getting better and better with passing time, I am sure a holograph Jimi Hendrix concert and an Elvis Presley concert cannot be too far behind.

Nice way for heirs to keep cashing in on long dead music performers.

Cool.

Hope this would not make live concert "more dead than ever".

No matter how convincing the technology is, it's not a concert. It's sad and phony. I watched bits of the Michael Jackson hologram concert on youtube, and the audience was cheering and clapping.....for whom? Just a ridiculous way for promoters to have a "concert" w/o having to pay a substantial amount of the the ticket revenue to a live performer.

How is such a concert different from watching an old movie about the singer? The movie shows the real singer.

If you can make a hologram of a "passenger plane" hitting the south trade center tower, why not a musician?

With tech today you need not believe what you see.

Anyone British of a certain age automatically thinks of Red Dwarf when holograns are discussed...
