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.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

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

We had a Zenith console in our basement. My brother and I held up lighters to the TV screen during 'Threshold'.

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