Led Zeppelin has been approached about doing an ABBA-style holographic event.
With the debut of the virtual concert residency last week, the Swedish band's extremely modern concern has proved enormously successful.
The holographic performances were initially publicized during Coachella in 2012.Tupac was performed digitally during the festival, and other important icons, such as Michael Jackson, were made into holographs.
In reality, in 2016, a Ronnie James Dio holographic globe tour took place.
According to The Guardian, Jimmy informed the crowd at the Hay Festival in the United Kingdom last week that his band was approached about doing "that type of thing."
However, he admitted that it didn't "get rolling" because he and his bandmates, John Paul Jones and Robert Plan, were opposed to such a concept.
ABBA's 'Voyage' Digital Concert
The digital concert by ABBA is based on their most current and last album, "Voyage."
The avatars from ABBA's "Voyage" came onstage. The four members, however, were computerized versions of their real-life counterparts.
Their residency is taking place in the ABBA Arena in London's Queen Elizabeth Park.
According to UCR, the characters, called "ABBAtars," were produced by Industrial Light & Magic, a Hollywood visual effects company.
According to the site, the concert took over a billion hours to complete, including the processing time.
In one month, Agnetha Fältskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad allegedly spent five hours every day in front of 160 motion-capture devices.
Favorite Musicians of Jimmy Page
Jimmy Page has highlighted some of his favorite bands and formative influences.
Elvis Presley is one of them, per Far Out.
"When Elvis was growing up, it must have been fairly gloomy," Jimmy continued, "yet the white and black picked cotton side by side, and the local indigenous music supplied the soundtrack to this terrible environment."
"It required Elvis Presley's creative talent to mix those musical elements and revolutionize the world."
Jimmy also loved performing with Jeff Beck, and the two even cooperated on "Beck's Bolero," with both guitarists sharing a profound passion for Gene Vincent.
"When I first met Jeff, I asked him, 'What's your version of [Little Walter's] My Babe?' to watch how he handled it. And I said, 'Yeah, well, I've been doing it this way.' He just had an instant connection with me."
