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.
You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens.

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

I hated those broadcasts. Canned applause and lip-synced choreography. I wanted real sweat and broken guitar strings.

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

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