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. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.
With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.

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

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.

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

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
