The legendary Ronnie James Did (may he forever rest in peace) passed away several years ago, and now you can see a concert of his-via hologram. Many people have strong feelings one way or the there about this and while I haven't interviewed every single fan of his, I'd say the majority are against this. Sadly many people think it's just a money grab by his widow. Some also say that Dio himself would have hated it.
I respect that POV, I'm sympathetic to it, and I understand it. But I'm ambivalent about the hologram.
On one hand, no, it's not the same as seeing him in concert. I accept that. If it was Elvis, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dimebag Darell Kurt Cobain or any other dead musician that did this I 100% agree that it would not be the same as seeing them preform live in concert. So yes, you do miss something in the translation from live person to hologram.
