2pac Performs Once More After Death

...As a hologram! A very good one, at that.

At this years Coachella Festival, Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre were joined on stage by the synthetic version of 2pac for 2 songs.
Pretty amazing stuff.

Yeah, I'm sure those theorists will have a heyday. "See? He's not really dead." But it's amazing what you can do with technology these days.

I get what they are doing but why... Let Tupac rest in peace! I've always thought Tupac was the one of the best rappers ever, but the longer they keep doing stuff like this the further away I want to be from him.

that is amazing, but, gotta comment. It was a bit annoying to see the hologram slide a bit every time he took a step.

This is both amazing and creepy. Just think, we can now go see Hendrix ''live''! Heck, I'd go.

When I first saw it I immediately though how much I'd love to see Vegas get a holographic Sinatra, haha. Eazy E would be great too, for an NWA reunion.

One wonders if someone will do a Night of the Living Dead Celebrities show...

I wonder if these concerts would be very lucrative, I mean, no talent to deal with just a holo-projector and a MP3 file.

Imagine a concert with Michael Jackson, Whitney Huston, Curt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Elvis all on one stage.

Heck, imagine the Beatles reunited with holo-John and George.

I can't imagine that without holograms of Paul and Ringo around the same age.

It'd be a little weird to have an old Paul and Ringo with young George and John.

honestly, i loved this, but then again i ♥ snoop, dre and pac- so it was sort of, um, touching? to see them together... HOWEVER i can say i am not ready to have Kurt Cobain preforming live and Layne Staley back as the front man of AIC... hopefully this will not become a major trend.
