Is this really true?  I'm crushed, devastated.  I can think of nothing more 
beautiful, nothing more magical than seeing Kate perform solo with a piano.  I 
would hate to think that mere comparisons with another performer, whether its 
Tori Amos or Beethoven would stop her from this.  After all, this is Kate Bush 
we are talking about.  

And speaking of live Kate, I have a few observations after several listens to 
the Live at Hammersmith CD.

1. Wow.  (Not the song, but my first response at hearing the opening whale song 
on Moving.
2. Violin is much better here than on Never Forever.
3. Stange Phemomena, Hammer and Horror and Oh England My Lionheart are all sung 
with such beauty and passion that I can't NOT listen to them.
4. Wuthering Heights - I actually haven't been able to listen to the whole 
thing; its like an incredibly rich meal that you can't finish, no matter how 
much you want to.



Kate 200%,
