   Yes. These are songs from the Bill Duffield benefit concert. Bill
was Kate's lighting designer for the tour. He was killed in a fall from
a truss during rehearsals. Peter Gabriel and Steve Harley (of Cockney
Rebel) had both worked with Bill. At the end of the tour an additional
concert was added to raise money for Bill's family. 

   "The Girl With The Child In Her Eyes" features Kate, Peter and Steve
together...but not much rehearsal.

   "Come Up and See me (Make Me Smile)" is a Steve Harley song. Without
digging it up, I'm not sure if Kate was on it at all, or if it was just
Steve.
