I've been re-watching my off-air VHS of the June 8, 1985 Hamburg Live-Fidelity broadcast.

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?

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