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

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.

In the Akasaka reel box recovered in Tokyo, there's a handwritten studio note: 'Do not rebroadcast Hamburg segment 09.'

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