...modern technology were to find a way to transform recorded concerts into a three-dimensional, hologram performance. Think what they did with Elvis on American Idol. Far fetched, I know...but stay with me on this...
Let's say the classic 1981 Houston Journey concert were to be transformed and shown throughout major arenas. There would be a real stage and a live crowd. You knew it was a hologram, but weren't able to tell the difference. It would be as if you were seeing the real deal. Would you go?
If the current (live) incarnation of Journey were playing within driving distance on the same night, which show would you go see?
What other concerts would you want to see?

Put on a hologram concert of the first ROR show at Mountain Aire and I'm soooo there! Would probably miss just about any concert to even just watch a hologram show of that one.

I'm green with envy, seriously.
But how did this thread get here twice?

When I clicked on the other one I thought my post must have gotten lost or something so I posted again in it.

My bad. Something weird happened on my end. I thought it didn't send, then hit send again.

I'd sure love to experience the '81 HoloJourney! Then teleport (is that possible?) to a HoloROR show!
Finally,I'd want to see the 3D version of that Philly show that ended the Frontiers & Beyond DVD.

I would KILL for the Houston show, the Frontiers Philly Shows and the
Mountain Aire ROR show to be shown at an IMAX theater near me!!!
Hell, I'd kill to have ALL 4 of these shows digitally re-mastered on DVD,
normal, HD, Blue-Ray... Doesn't matter!
