Coachella has done a lot of innovative tricks this year. I was impressed that anyone in US could watch three of the stages live on YouTube. Live concert footage and other live videos on the web are going to quickly make TV feel overpriced.

They did this last year too and it's awesome. If you didn't notice it's also in 5.1

even more impressive that I could watch it from Austria - by now so much content is region-restricted that this was a pleasant surprise.

Having been to a few festivals over the years, I had a good time watching via the YouTube stream. No sweaty people crowding me, up-close views, fantastic sound quality, and all the beverages etc I wanted readily available with no lines ;)
Obviously nothing replaces the experience of being present, but if you can't go, or are just getting to a point in life where festivals seem like more exhaustion than they're worth, these live streams are amazing.

#15Love the technology, but is anybody else just a little bit creeped out by this?

I was. I wonder if they need permission from his mom (estate) for this.

I'm less creeped out by the technology than by the implications in terms of copyright. What this may mean is that a copyright holder on the image of a person (such as Tupac) will be able to milk that image long after they are dead and potentially without having to pay anyone.
When you see Snoop Dogg 'performing' with Tupac you have to wonder where the money is flowing. Tupac's gone, perhaps his family is getting some pay back from the fact that an old recording of a song is played publicly. But what happens when Tupac suddenly records a new song? Would not surprise me to discover that the record companies are able to claim that they deserve all the money associated with that.

A little bit?? there better be a good way for forensics to determine it wasnt you on that "CCTV recording" anonymouslyt delivered by "friend" of someone being murdered in a dark street.

Sounds like you're creeped out by copyright in general, not by anything to do with this article.

#20Great question that was asked today was, "would you pay to see a dead artist perform in holographic form"?
Think about all the artists you could bring back and have perform for people when using this technology.
