lip-synch. "Tenner"

IED:

Lip-synch of "There Goes A Tenner" from the U.K. TV programme Razzmatazz.
(Note: This was Kate's only promotional performance of the song.)
This performance features a marvellously detailed and energetic dance routine. Kate and her dance-team perform on a cramped, wildly lit television stage, surrounded by teenagers. The video technicians for the show nearly overpower Kate's performance with special effects, but their application does make some sense in connection with the verses; and at the end some virtuosic pre-recorded effects with floating Tenners, Fivers and Ten-Shilling notes are super-imposed over the live routine with remarkable success. Obviously much care and effort went into this presentation.

lip-synch. "The Dreaming" (lizard)

IED:

Lip-synch--the "giant iguana" or "lizard king" version-- from the German TV programme Na Sowas, late September 1982. This performance is a straightforward routine of the well-known choreography for The Dreaming. The only anomaly is the super-imposed image of a live chameleon, or iguana, behind the figures of Kate and her dance-partners. At the conclusion of the performance the host of the programme shows the small light-box containing the tiny lizard used for the special effect. Then he congratulates Kate in German and English for the success of the new album, the title of which (Dreamin' [sic]) he says he likes especially.

PDFM:

lip-synch. "The Dreaming"

IED:

Lip-synch (called the "stage" version) from the Italian TV programme Riva del Garda, late September 1982. Entries numbers 61-64 all date from about the same time in 1982 when Kate visited Italy to promote The Dreaming single. Her performance (with her dance partners) is basically the same in all four appearances, although there are a few interesting little differences in the dance routines. The sets are all rather garishly lit and glittering television studio environments, and Kate is forced to stand around, expressionless and apparently even a bit annoyed at the delay and lack of drama, while the Italian hosts of the programmes flippantly rave about Kate's career and new album.
