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.

I will trade any Japanese 7-inch idol single with the obi intact for a cleaner dub of this tape.

I remember watching this on our family's Radiant TV console. The picture tube hummed whenever Nova hit high notes.
