No, as I said in my post ("good news for Prof. Lloyd"), this happened at an
arena concert in New Jersey (Meadowlands, perhaps?). It led to that state
enacting a law requiring that "live" concerts using recorded material state
that fact in the advertisements and publicity.
"Simpsons" fans will remember what happened when Bart and his pals formed a
boy-band, only to have the "voice enhancer" pulled out from under them.
[Incidentally, I *still* can't get the stupid CD player to follow me!]
