For the concert, it was other way around, however.  Kate grabbed him.
Peter Gabriel was also the "special guest" on Kate Bush's BBC TV
special in '79, and they did a duet together -- a cover of Roy
Harper's wonderful "Another Day" (Cocteau Twin fans are probably
familiar with this song.)

You didn't really speed it up 3% did you???

Did you get the addresses of any of these Gabriel fanzines?  I've been
looking for a Peter Gabriel fanzine for ages.  They must not be
exteremely well-known or they would have been mentioned in one of the
KB zines.  (You can find both "Break-Through" and "Homeground" every
now and then in Newbury Comics, but maybe not "Break-Through" any more
because they had so much trouble getting paid by Dutch East India
Trading that they decided to only do subscriptions from now on.)

I have the whole thing on tape backwards.  The part that sounds like
"Really see" forwards still sounds like "Really see" backwards.
There's one part that sounds  to me like "He was long..., he was
long..., he was longing <mumble> <mumble>", which seems to make
perfect sense in light of the song.  Actually, I think it's Kate
just trying to drive us crazy.  (Have you played "Leave It Open"
backwards yet?)
