Edit: the headline is sort of misleading. It seems like the band will still perform in motion-capturing suits, and their avatars will be displayed in multiple concert venues simultaneously. Eh, not my jam. If I go to a live show, it's to see the actual artists with my very own eyes.
Oh, so it would be just a 3D animated movie?
The only way I maaaay consider watching such a concert is if I knew that the actual band is still playing and interacting with the audience behind the avatars. They could be playing sitting down, in their pajamas if they want. But the sound must be live to be okay in my book.
Otherwise, no thanks.
No. I think they created the avatars from them wearing motion capture suits. I don't believe they will be using them any longer.
It specifies this in a roundabout way in the article by mentioning how kiss did not show back up on stage when the avatars were sent out because "that's the point".
They didn't go ran into the backstage area and put on motion capture to send out their fake avatars. Plus, why would they?
*I watched a video of the concert at Madison Square garden. It's definitely not them behind stage in motion capture suits. Also, it's lame. Starts at 2 hours and 14 minutes:

Got it. Thanks.
