Dr. Dre + Snoop Dogg Live: Coachella 2012 (Tupac Hologram)

Not that i'm trying to get religious or anything, but i'm still in a bit of awe to see the resurrection of Tupac Shakur in the image of a hologram appear on stage with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival which happened over the weekend. According to San Diego based AV Concepts, creators of the hologram, they say that the idea for the project was all Dr. Dre's and it took several months to plan, along with an additional 4 months to create.

Here's the full set of the Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg show that featured 50 Cent, Eminem, Warren G, Kurupt, Wiz Khalifa and the now infamous 2Pac hologram. In case you want to get to the hologram image, skip forward to 32:25, sit back and be amazed. Enjoy!
