Btw, one thing I hate (though envy is a more accurate word lol) about you Squirrel is that you saw Kate twice(?) during the Tour of Life. God, what I wouldn't give for a time machine lol!
Yes, it makes me feel very privileged. I considered only seeing her twice in 1979 was disappointing, but tickets sold like the proverbial hot cakes. Got 4th row for The Palladium but had to slum it for Bristol and 15th row, I think. I hate seeing artists from outside the front few rows, but it was Kate Bush, so I put up with the lousy Bristol tickets. It left me wanting more and more, and I consoled myself with the thought that at least I could see her many more times when she toured again. Oh well.
Those were two of my all time favourite concerts. Yeah those time machines would sell well too. I would love to go back and experience again, just how good she was.
Although I am now a boring old fart, I at least got to see some great artists. I was going to gigs at the time of the live music explosion, although three in one night was excessive. There was no late night tv, no internet, just radio after midnight, which was why I was out all the time. I could frighten children with the tales of what it was like with no cable or satellite tv, no internet, no calculators, no mobile phones etc.
I'm an opinionated old tosser and proud of it.
(yeah, how she came up with such an unoriginal title is baffling considering this is a creative genius we're talking about lol). The new single will be a reworked/new version of Deeper Understanding. Unfortunately, Kate will only tackle songs from The Sensual World & The Red Shoes...
