Agreed.
I like Gorillaz. Really like watching the videos of the songs. Cool stuff.
But I would not pay to go to a "concert" style get together to watch them "live". Nope, not me.
But I would pay to go watch them on a big screen in a "movie theater".
The feeling of the "get together" is not lost on me. My son and I love a band that is not popular in our area. So we drove to Ohio to see them. We were in the first few rows from the stage. In the middle of a song I turned around and saw the crowd, I was in awe. I told my son to turn around and when he did I could see the awe in his face. He never seen 20k people singing the same song, word for word, with thier fists in the air!!
No, I understand the communal feeling generated. I just don't see it happening, (at that level!!) To a hologram? I just find it .... astounding that that many people would pay to see this.
