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

Right at 02:14 in 'Memory Hatch', she stops singing completely and just stares directly into camera 2.
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?

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