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.
The band keeps playing the backing chords for almost 3 minutes while she doesn't move a single muscle.

My tape is 3rd generation and starting to degrade. Does anyone have a 1st gen copy from a Betamax or U-matic deck?

Yes! And look at her mouth right before she stops: she whispers something that isn't on the album lyric sheet.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.

Why does everything have to be a mystery? Orion probably told her to do a dramatic pause and she held it too long.

I was 14 when that aired in Germany. My dad thought the satellite link had frozen until the drummer started improvising.
