Glad you enjoyed the show.

But "I'm just saying" The Sharon is turning out to be a gathering place for the wealthy.

It was amazing! I couldn't believe it when Orbison first rose up on the stage. I recorded 36 seconds of it. It didn't turn out very well because 1) I couldn't use the phones lighting and 2)from where I was sitting the microphone was in front of Roy's face which distorted, but I assure you, the holigram was so perfect you could see every tooth, hair and facial expression with crystal clarity. He looked as real as the other performers on the stage.

36 seconds

If you do a search on YouTube you can find clearer video, but this is from the Sharon.

Wealthy how little do you think they should charge? If so little how will they get the talent?

There's usually a discounted obstructed view seat available if you want.

It was fun!

It was fun!

WOW I knew this technology was going to be mainstream one day. So cool for fans to still be able to experience their fave artist. :coolsmiley:

I worked that show as an usher and I actually heard a couple say "I thought they were both dead." Technology is amazing. On another subject, my pet peeve is when the audience is told there is no photography or video allowed and patrons do it anyway, ruining the show for everyone around them.

Unless people are going to be tossed or not allowed into future shows some people will just do as they wish.

Funny! Reminds me of when I visited the Grand Canyon about 10 yrs ago, there was a group of students standing behind me viewing the canyon when one young lady stated "Wow" is this manmade?

$75 well spent..

Years ago I went to a Cher concert. When she sang the song I Got You Babe, a hologram of Sony was on the side of her. It was amazing how real it looked. I guess these days even better.

I enjoyed the show. The holograms really did look like the singers, except they seemed to be about eighty percent life size. It was a bit like watching Tom Cruise and Michael J. Fox singing. The real players behind them had bigger heads.

I agree with your assessment except to say I thought the holograms looked even more “real” than the musicians on stage. I was in the fourth row and was blown away the entire program!

You realize of course the image was not Roy nor Buddy but a band member recorded earlier. Fun entertainment but done with smoke and mirrors.

[Flyers999]

That is 36 seconds of annoyance to the suffering people sitting behind you. So selfish and inconsiderate…and for what?

Glad you pointed this out. I hate when people put their phone above their head at a concert and record/snap, when I'm sitting behind. They usually do it at the best parts too.

I didn't do that. I held the phone vertically, not horizontal, in front of my face. No one behind me could see my phone. Before I put the video on YouTube, I edited it by chopping off the bottom, where you would see the people in front of me, and some of the top.
Thanks again.

We paid $157 for two seats, center mezzanine. It was an excellent experience. It seems like a lot of money, but we only go once or twice a year.
