Watching the Hamburg satellite capture again on my VCR with the tracking cranked all the way up.

Right at 02:14 in 'Memory Hatch', she stops singing completely and just stares directly into camera 2.
If you look at the lower third timecode on the broadcast feed, the studio audio meter doesn't drop to zero -- the 14.2 Hz sub-tone stays active.

Did anyone in Hamburg actually attend in person? The hall looked completely empty except for camera crews.

Yes! And look at her mouth right before she stops: she whispers something that isn't on the album lyric sheet.

In the Akasaka reel box recovered in Tokyo, there's a handwritten studio note: 'Do not rebroadcast Hamburg segment 09.'

My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread. Keep articles concise!

Oh come on, she obviously just froze up from stage fright. It happens to live performers all the time.
