I read this a long time ago, and my memory of the exact source is
rather vague at this point.  I think the specific mention of the
installation of a security system with a camera at the gate was from
Peter Morris in Homeground, rather than from an interview with Kate
herself.  I also think that it was in the same article that it was
mentioned that the camera was installed shortly after the murder of
John Lennon.  I don't know what Peter's source is, but I think I
recall reading about the camera in an independent source.

I don't know anything about this specific bootleg, but I am well-aware
of the concert.  It was a single performance of Kate's Tour of Life
that was a benefit for the family of one her stage crew members who
died in an accident (fell from a lighting rig) touring the tour.
Peter Gabriel and Steve Harley showed up and sung a few songs with
Kate.

HAH!  I knew it!  Boy, there's mud on your face Drukface!  I am finally
vindicated!  Of course Kate was rescued by the submarine and anyone
who thought differently was completely deluded.  This should prove
once and for all that I am always right.
