We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.

An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Élodie Hernández Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Stanford University Computer Systems Lab. ------------------------------------------------------------ From gramirez@panix.com Sun Nov 20 10:41:57 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!panix!gramirez From: gramirez@panix.com (Graham Ramírez) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1994Nov20.104157.7855@panix.com> Date: Sun, 20 Nov 1994 10:41:57 GMT References: <1994Nov20.093957.6922@stanford.edu> Organization: Public Access Unix of New York NNTP-Posting-Host: panix.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1994Nov20.093957.6922@stanford.edu>, ehernandez@stanford.edu (Élodie Hernández) writes: > Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.
