   Just to step back to the original subject of this thread... I saw the show   
   Friday night in Boston (thanks to a very generous Mike Keneally) and it was   
   pretty damn wonderful. The band was great, and it was a multimedia   
   extravaganza. They played most of    
   what you might consider the "hits": Camarillo Brillo, I'm The Slime, Dirty   
   Love, Montana, all that stuff. But they also played a few deeper cuts like   
   Alien Orifice and The Evil Prince, and at least one thing I'd never heard   
   before. Also they played    
   Farther Oblivion in its original form. Great stuff.   
      
   The "hologram" was a very minor part of the show. It was out there for maybe   
   four songs, and was actually kind of impressive. But definitely not overdone.   
      
   All in all I found it to be a lovely tribute to Frank and his music. Ahmet   
   even made an appearance, singing two songs and leading some audience   
   participation that was pretty funny, though maybe went on a wee bit too long.   
      
   If you can see it, do.
