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

With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.
We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.

Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage?

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple.
