[Greg Meyer]

There is also Gorillaz (another band) who used holograms for their characters during concert in 2005 and 2006.

Thanks,
Greg

During one of the performances a hologram of the famous deceased rapper Tupac Shakur came on stage and performed. The hologram looked incredibly real and has quite a bit of space to move around in. I had always heard that this sort of technology existed but didn't realize it was being used in practice for large venues yet. Here is an article describing some of the technology behind it done by a company called AV Concepts.

On the one hand, it would be cool to simultaneously broadcast a big concert like Live 8 to cities all over the world to provide access for people to see the show. On the other hand, maybe bands would stop touring and just be able to send out their holograms to tour for them. Either way, I think it's an interesting use of technology in our field
