Jumbotron of an AI band.
It's the new Milli Vanilli...

There have always been popular bands that never played live shows.
There was a story in the Boston Globe this morning, Fab Morvan is touring again, plays in Saugus, MA this week!
While I never closely followed their situation, its not like they did something the whole industry didn't do...that European group Boney-M was similar, and how about The Wrecking Crew or the Funk Brothers in studios here? Their problem is that they got caught on stage...

I'm waiting for an AI version of this:
Quote
Sergei Rachmaninoff – Piano Concerto No. 3 (1909)
Often called “Rach 3,” this is the concerto most pros dread for its combination of massive chords (written for Rachmaninoff’s huge hands), octave passages, endurance (45+ minutes of non-stop intensity), and the infamous first-movement cadenza. It’s a stamina killer even for giants like Vladimir Horowitz, who famously feared it.
End Quote --- GROK when asked what's the most difficult piano piece
That should be trivial for AI. Choose any piano in the world, sample it, press PLAY. How could it be less than perfect?

Likely also some internal nose sheddings, who knows what else.Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed... well, Adam.
We had a tech at work who did a weekend gig at an Apple Store in Hollywood. His specialty was repairing laptops.
A customer came in and complained that the keyboard on his MacBook gets stuck. Adam (the tech) took the cover off, and what do you think he finds gooked all over the keys?
Yup. Dandruff. I guess the customer had severe eczema. Anyhow, Adam scoops up all the sticky flakes, sprays 5 gallons of Deoxit on the keys, puts it back together, and all was groovy again!
He quit that gig, soon afterwards.

We had a "customer" who had borrowed an ipad and was returning it.
I was at the front desk to help with the check in and the receptionist and I were confounded as to what was all over the screen protector and underneath it.
We kept saying things like "what is all this stuff", and "how did all that crud get there"...while the customer was clearly within earshot.
After we got most of the crud off with spray cleaner and paper towels and removed the cover to clean further....
...the customer sits down and begins vigorously scratching her legs, shedding dander all over our floor.
She then elaborates about how "awful" her condition is and how she frequently has to scrape if off with a butter knife.
WHAAAAT????
You couldn't have mentioned that while we were cleaning the device you didn't bother to address before you returned it?
The receptionist and I both almost threw up.
...and still tell that story.

Wasn't "knocking" that band, just suggesting the group was a prelude for what was to follow, eh?
I liked that band as well.
Q
He said he definitely saw the skin flakes stuck in the greasy material. She said that the customer had super-greasy hair.Likely also some internal nose sheddings, who knows what else.

You just inspired me to put on Boston’s 1st which I bought in 1977!
I kinda phased out of live shows by Pop Acts when studio techs were saying everyone used Auto-Tune in concert — these days. The vocals and instruments are processed by a computers that clean up the sound.
Everything is unnaturally "perfect." Might as well be AI. Right?
3D Holographic projection using the same A. I. that created the songs. Security provided by robotic dogs controlled by that same A. I. The whole show is an A. I. creation including staff, accounting, legal, promotion, all of it A. I. without human labor. Available for download from an A.I. managed hosting site. Seamless, except for the 'carbon' loop, the audience, but that too is on schedule. It's so exciting, coasting always is.Jumbotron of an AI band.
Might as well be, its on that road.
The audience ZOOMs the concert.
They have a history with that.
No no no... A. I. is the audience, closed loop. None of it exists. A. I. will be repurposed. End game. Maybe nirvana.The audience ZOOMs the concert.
That’s one of the reasons that an unamplified performance is so wonderful.
Just recently enjoyed my grandchildren’s school band and orchestra performances.
Very moving in many ways, one of which is that not every note is perfect, but darn close.
Not a microphone in sight.
A theater full of iPhones on tripods, hooked to laptops!
It's the concert brought to you by Bluetooth.
