Can't argue with that Dave. Being a "first time" can make many experiences extra special!
In the early 80's our area opened a decent performance venue and we got to see (and hear) many performers that we previously only knew from recordings or TV. Having them there "in the flesh" does pique expectations. And they always delivered. And we got to see it in "real-time". Of course TV used to be real-time also before video recorders existed. And I think it was better. More "live".
Maybe that's more important than physical presence? When I was in high school our homeroom had a telephonic interview with George Burns and it was great even though he was over a thousand miles away. I'm not sure that it would really have been any better if he had been in the room. But it was happening in "real-time...
Human perception is tricky, am I real or an automaton?
