long interview

IED:

A programme consisting of interview clips and official videos. More Images from this interview also appeared on the programmes Heartlight City and Radio 1990. Date of interview: November 1985. This programme, rather nicely edited from a selection of Kate's official videos and an in-studio interview (see entry number 87), served as an introduction of Kate's work to many new American fans, although it was only aired on cable television stations.

interview

IED:

Kate is interviewed by Sue Simmons. New York TV (WNBC), November 1985. This intervew, conducted in the studios of WNBC in midtown Manhattan literally only minutes after Kate had left a wildly over-attended personal appearance at the Greenwich Village Tower Records store, was conducted by one of the two most poorly prepared interviewers in Kate's video career. Ms. Simmons makes several gross factual blunders and manages to seem patronizing to boot. None of which phases Kate in the least, of course.

feature interview (unedited, 44'17")

IED:

Kate is interviewed by J. J. Jackson for the U.S. cable rock-video channel. An additional generic interview, nearly one hour long, is shot, and very brief excerpts are aired on MTV.
Jackson's questions are necessarily superficial but are very deftly posed, and Kate seems a bit more at ease and more forthcoming than in the other U.S. interviews. The questioner for the longer, largely unaired interview draws remarkably interesting answers.

lip-synch. "The Big Sky" and "Running Up That Hill"

IED:

Lip-synch performances from the German TV programme Peters Pop Show, November 1985. (Also shown on French television.)
These two songs are lip-synched as a group in an almost routine manner, without a change in costume or set. The video technician simply applies an odd swirling design over the image during the latter song, which Kate performs using a few of the "boogie" moves that appear in the official video.

Unedited Night Flight

Network:
Not aired

Country:
USA

IED:

the unedited interview: a dub (of very poor picture quality) of the original unedited working-master from the studio taping of Kate's interview for Night Flight. (Thirty-eight minutes long.) November 1985.
So far as I am aware this is the only unedited (not-for-broadcast) {no longer true - CDW} video-taped interview in circulation. It is also the most excruciating of all Kate Bush video. For more than half an hour Kate sits absolutely still before an unblinking stationary camera, answering with remarkable patience and professionalism an interminable series of asinine and shockingly ill-informed questions from an unseen American bimbo. Several times Kate is asked to repeat long answers she has just given, simply because the sound technicians had mis-adjusted the microphones. Finally, after the hopelessly inept interviewer finally subsides, Kate is further exploited by the boorish American studio crew, who pressure her into delivering a series of advertising "spots" for a number of television programmes. As usual, Kate suffers through all of these indignities with perfect grace.
