The band keeps playing the backing chords for almost 3 minutes while she doesn't move a single muscle. 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. -- Élodie Petrov US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 19,200 bps "Do not worship the copy."

You're seeing ghosts. The European Eidophor projectors in 1985 had terrible frame-buffer lag when receiving NTSC downconverts.

My dad thought the satellite link had frozen until the drummer started improvising. -- Rodrigo Girard Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Texas at Austin. ------------------------------------------------------------
