I'm afraid you have things somewhat mixed up.  The K-T Bush Band existed
only before Kate's first album came out, and toured only in pubs in the
vicinity of London.  Kate performed some of her own songs, as well as
cover versions of, for example, "Honky Tonk Woman."  Her now legendary
performance on SNL (two songs:  Them Heavy People and The Man With the
Child in His Eyes) were the ONLY performances of any songs Kate ever
gave in the USA.  There are many people on this newgroup who have been
Kate fans since the very beginning, and they can categorically state
that Kate NEVER gave a concert in the USA.  If you believe this to
be wrong, you should give your source, because all the standard sources
(Homeground, Andy Marvick, Chris Williams, many magazine articles) all
agree with me on this point.
