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. My tape is 3rd generation and starting to degrade. Does anyone have a 1st gen copy from a Betamax or U-matic deck? -- Lisa Campbell -- UC Berkeley Department of EECS "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again."

I remember watching this on our family's Radiant TV console.
