Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens.
With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.

It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred.

It felt so real. The sound of the snare echoing through an imaginary stadium... Orion's acoustic engineers were geniuses.

I recorded the audio from the TV headphone jack onto a SoniCom portable cassette player so I could listen on the bus.
