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

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.
The band keeps playing the backing chords for almost 3 minutes while she doesn't move a single muscle.

My tape is 3rd generation and starting to degrade. Does anyone have a 1st gen copy from a Betamax or U-matic deck?

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

Could the poster please adjust their line wraps? Reading this in tin is painful.

I was 14 when that aired in Germany. My dad thought the satellite link had frozen until the drummer started improvising.
