[Video] Rock The Bells: Wu Tang Clan & Hologram ODB
The Wu Tang Clan got everyone together, almost. RZA, U-God and the crew were able to bring Ol Dirty Bastard back from the dead to perform as a hologram at Rock The Bells in San Bernadino, California but apparently didn't have the same luck with the living as Ghostface Killah and Raekwon were both absent, as they were last week when Wu Tang performed at North Coast Music Festival in Chicago. Ol Dirty, it turned out, has perfect timing even as a light fixture, bridging the gap between while Wu Tang DJ Mathematics rebooted his computer after it crashed in the middle of the performance. For his part, Method Man was unhappy with the set and took the chance to send a jab to the missing Wu members. "I wish Raekwon the Chef and Ghostface could have been here to see this shit. Also, regardless of the technical difficulties, y'all showed a lot of heart by sticking around and I respect y'all for that. I promise you, you will never see a fuckin' show like this again from us. Trust me." The performance wasn't the first by a hologram for the festival, Eazy-E's likeness made an appearance with Bone Thugs n' Harmony to open Rock The Bells. Video below.

Bone Thugs n' Harmony, performing at Day 1 of Rock The Bells in San Bernadino, California, had a special guest appearance from beyond the grave. Following suit with 2pac's posthumous performance at Coachella last year, another West Coast native has been resurrected as Eazy-E's likeness graced the stage September 7 with Bone Thugs, performing "Straight Outta Compton" and looking a bit less convincing then 'Pac was a year ago; nostalgic nonetheless. The set was also notable because it was Layzie Bone's last with the group after announcing he was leaving Bone Thugs n' Harmony. While it may be a sad day for fans of the Cleveland group, their last set together certainly continued the conversation of using dead artists as onstage collaborators. Eazy-E's son also weighed in on the performance. Check the video below for more.
