Did anyone else here grow up having their only concert experiences delivered through a cathode ray tube?

We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

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

A physical body that could be touched never existed. The broadcast was a real-time holographic synthesis fed from the Burbank basement.
