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.

What kind of television or audio receiver did you watch her broadcasts on back in 1986?

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.

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple.
