should the estate put together an abba style tour for prince?

Ie a tour with a holographic image of prince like the recent abba tour has done?

Reading about the npg playing to audio of prince from.a 1992 live show has made me think this could be a very real possibility

I think it might be interesting too.

Imagine 80s prince as a hologram with the revolution backing him

Would you support it?

Considering that Prince considered such a hologram "demonic", what do you think?

You think he would be ok with all these outtakes and live shows being released? Or the npg performing to a live track of his vocals and guitar??? Doubtful. Death is a license to do what they like.

Why not?
If you don't care, don't go.
If you care, go see it.

If it happens, I ll go for the sake of curiosity

If they do it as good as the Abba Show, it would be fantastic

The difference here isn't that Prince used a word like "demonic" to describe CGI. It's that Abba is still alive. Prince is dead. Abba used motion capture technology and was de-aged in the process.

It would have to be a Vegas residency, rather than a tour.
I'm seeing news reports about the Prince Immersive Experience and no crowds are busting down those doors.

Plus Abba - great though they are - have never been known as the most electric live performers.

You're not totally wrong. When I saw some of the CGI, I thought - is this it? It was really lackluster. There was a lot of build-up to the event, then it just sorta farted out. Nothing. I believe it has a lot to do with the performance (or lack thereof).
