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

Her eyes track someone standing just off to the left of the stage monitor near the engineer's desk.
Right at 02:14 in 'Memory Hatch', she stops singing completely and just stares directly into camera 2.

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

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

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

She didn't forget the lyrics. Look at the monitor behind her: the teleprompter was displaying hex codes, not words.
