Despite Remaining Stubbornly Dead, Ronnie James Dio Performed a Gig in LA Last Week. This. Is. Freaky.
Not long ago, someone who works closely with the touring industry once told me that concerts by dead musicians will soon be a A Thing and a huge draw for promoters as fans flock to see their dead heroes, a number that’s growing by the month.
It’s all about the hologram now, as attendees to the 28th annual Pollstar Awards–a ceremony honouring the world of concert tour professionals–witnessed on Thursday night (February 2).
On the stage before them was a hologram of Ronnie James Dio, who passed away as the result of stomach cancer in 2010. Here’s what they saw–and if you want to learn more about what’s going on here, head to Loudwire.
This, friends, is pretty freaky.
How long before we see Virtual Reality concerts? Bands could film their shows and the fans could download/purchase the concert footage.
It’s coming Neil. Maybe with a pair of 3D glasses, sort of thing? At least you won’t have to put up with all the cell phones. 🙂
I got to see the real Ronnie James Dio, onstage with Black Sabbath, for their Heaven and Hell tour. That was a really great show, and Ronnie was amazing!
