By request.
One of the new folks, inspired by the appearance of three-dimensional Virtual Tupac at Coachella a few weeks back, and the fact that he himself came along too late to see Jerry, wonders if technology is going to make it possible to re-create entire holographic concerts for generations yet unborn.
Thoughts?

everyone would be wanting to download Hologram Jerry and have him in their living room.
I suspect that this would be more or less unnerving depending on whether one had actually run into Real Life Jerry.
It would be a cool thing to see on stage, but only if it was free to the public and tastefully done :)
Intriguing, but also a little creepy to me. Watching a hologram of a dead musician "perform" on stage during a show? I'm not entirely sure of how I feel about that. It's one thing to see images on a video screen, even 3D real-as-you-can-get recorded performances -- that's the general nature of all recorded performances, even audio-only. But onstage, daring you to discern the real from the digital, live musicians interacting with a simulacrum? Give me real live humans creating real live music, please.
I guess, anyway. Getting to "see" Jerry again? Maybe yes, maybe no. I still dunno.
back in the day, when I was editing that computer magazine and Barlow was hanging out with the virtual reality wizards, there really was a day when I was at Autodesk when Jerry was there playing with early virtual reality technology (as in, you put on the helmet and you're in the other world). It was a memorable day. Also a hoot. But I don't know if any archival files exist...
Ah, those were the days.
this technology will replace your television. Actual "3D" moving image transmission, without the need for silly glasses.
Thanks for posting this!! The idea in mind was actually a scenario where the current living original members would actually play live to a set previously performed with a hologram of Jerry ( and possibly Pig Pen etc. ) kinda like what DSO does. They could recreate a set from days of old with the current living members playing the set list live and the holograms performing from video/music archives. I know it's kinda far out but it would be a dream come true to a younger generation of Deadheads who never had the opportunity to see Jerry and other members. I appreciate any feedback. Much Luv!
that people went seriously insane over Virtual Tupac at Coachella. Apparently it was good enough to make at least the somewhat distant-from-the-stage folks wonder if, against all odds...

well, off the top of my head, it looks to me like it's a limited edition art print that the artist based on a fairly famous photo (by Annie Leibovitz, I think) of Jerry playing a banjo, and the market value is probably going to have to do with whose signature it is, how rare the print is, and how much demand there is for their work.
I.e. Antiques Roadshow time!
Now an original print of that photo in good condition, call Sotheby's...
