    I've always loved this show. I've got it recorded on Betamax from when it was first shown, probably unplayable now. Like the bit where Kate tries to keep her fake beard falling off during the 'Ran Tan Waltz' section.

    I'm a huge Bush fan! - well actually I'm quite trim and gay but you know what I mean ;)

    Hounds of Love is one of my favourite albums.

    all this repeated kate exposure is well worth this years licence money:)

    Wow. I just listened to 'Hounds of Love' on vinyl, and it was even more excellent than usual.

    I am sure, although it may be wishful thinking, that there was also a BBC special for the Never For Ever album. I'm sure I do remember seeing something. Can anyone else confirm this?

    I wish some of the archive material would have a proper release.

    Kate appeared in a Dr Hook special singing Babooshka about that time.

    Just an excuse to bump Kate's thread!

    Live@Hammersmith Odeon, London 1979:

    Moving
    Them Heavy People
    Violin
    Strange Phenomena
    Hammer Horror
    Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake
    Wow
    Feel It
    James & the Cold Gun
    Kite
    Oh England, My Lionheart
    Wuthering Heights

    Not sure which part of the tour this is from - Holland or Germany?
    Room For The Life (rougher quality)

    Just looked it up on the net, 600 pages of the best of the Homeground magazine. Yes, I can see where some of my Christmas money is going this year. :)
