An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Joachim Girard "Marcus is not one man." 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) / FreeBSD 2.1 From tlee@kth.se Tue Dec 20 03:04:25 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!kth!tlee From: tlee@kth.se (Tyler Lee) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: [INFO] Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1994Dec20.030425.5559@kth.se> Date: Tue, 20 Dec 1994 03:04:25 GMT References: <1994Dec18.170125.4028@demon.co.uk> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1994Dec18.170125.4028@demon.co.uk>, jgirard@demon.co.uk (Joachim Girard) writes: > Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts. > We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium.
