For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect?

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.

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

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