Sorry to differ, but as I recall the songs were "The Man With The Child
In His Eyes" (performed in trenchcoat and fedora while seated on the 
piano) and "Wuthering Heights".  I distinctly recall Kate's full use of
her vocal range on "Wuthering Heights", and since the vocal style is so
different between WH and THP, I don't think it could have been THP.
Since all of this occured 10 years ago this October, I MAY be mistaken. 
But I don't think so. If anyone out in net-land taped this show 
maybe they can decide this.
