Roy Orbison And Buddy Holly Hologram Concert Coming To Colorado In October
DENVER (CBS4) - Decades after their passing, rock legends Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison will "appear" on stage in Denver, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs. Organizers of the "Rock 'N Roll Dreams Tour" said the life-like holograms of the legendary singers will make it feel and sound just like they're on stage. Base Hologram is using sound from actual performances by Orbison, who died in 1988, and Holly, who died in 1959, as well as body doubles and a little computer magic to create the look.
"Accompanied by a live band and back-up singers, this cutting edge holographic performance and remastered audio will transport audiences back in time for an unforgettable evening of Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly's greatest hits onstage," the website states.
The high-tech show has gotten the blessing from Orbison's family.
"It's so touching to see people having these family moments, where it's like a guy and his dad, and they're watching my dad and they're in tears," said Alex Orbison, the singer's son.
