DVD 1 1. December Will Be Magic Again Abba's Snowtime Special, December 21, 1979 Taped for the BBC February 18, 1979, for the second of two Abba TV specials (this one called The Winter Snowtime Special), broadcasted December 22, 1979 on BBC1. (Sometimes called the ôbongosö version.) 2. Kate The Christmas Special December 28, 1979 A forty-five-minute television special, BBC 2 TV, featuring songs old and new. Some of these were filmed during live television-studio performances, others were videos prepared in advance and featuring studio recordings in more or less the same form as their album counterparts. In addition, one or two small pieces of incidental music were recorded specifically for the programme, which includes a guest appearance by Peter Gabriel, and a duet by Peter Gabriel and Kate of Roy Harper's song, Another Day. Intro music A simple melodic phrase, without lyrics, sung by Kate while a glittery hand creates the title on the screen. Violin Pre LP mix, used for lip-synch, without some of the sound effects heard on the final version, otherwise identical. The choreography is essentially the same as that used for the Tour of Life shows. Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1 Played by KT Bush Band as a background for the two giant violins (Paddy and his friend Andrew Bryant), who mime an introduction for the next song: Symphony In Blue Sung live with the KT Bush Band. Kate sings and accompanies herself at the piano. Them Heavy People Lip-synched to a live recording. Here Comes The Flood by Peter Gabriel Starts with an a cappella introduction Peter the Angel Gabriel sung by Kate, Paddy and one of Kate's female vocal supporters from the Tour of Life, which segues directly into Peter Gabriel┤s performance of his song, which he sings at an electric piano. Ran Tan Waltz (known at this time as The Ran Tan) Lip-synch to the same mix later released on vinyl. This is, in IED's opinion, one of Kate's three finest stage performances. An absolutely brilliant piece of modern-dance choreography, packed with subtle narrative details stunningly and beguillingly executed by Kate, Stewart Avon-Arnold and Gary Hurst. December Will Be Magic Again An early version, sung by Kate at the piano, with Kevin McAlea behind her adding keyboard embellishments on an electric piano. The Wedding List A video which alternates in-studio (ôliveö) lip-synch performance and pre-recorded footage which incorporate imagery based on old westerns as well as the Truffaut film The Bride Wore Black. The stage section of the performance is very similar to the live choreography for James and the Cold Gun, in which Kate's character goes on the rampage with a rifle. Another Day Another pre-recorded video mixed with in-studio stage performance. The music was all pre-taped, then acted out by Gabriel and Kate, who sit stonily at a tea-table. A second set of pre-filmed images of the characters is seen in a picture-frame behind them. Egypt A video performance with Kate's flighty, superficial protagonist standing in romantic, exotic clothing. Toward the end two veiled men, referred to by Peter F.-M. as Phantom Phlingers (a TISWAS) surround and threaten Kate's character. The Man With The Child In His Eyes Again, a combination of live performance (Kate singing at the piano) and pre-recorded video. At the end the small figure in the video looks around trepidatiously (watching out for video pixies!) and jumps into a garbage can ¾ which serves as a segue to: Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake A live stage performance, done to a pre-recorded (?) audio performance of the song; finally fading to end titles, which roll to the accompaniment of the LP version of Wuthering Heights. 3. Dr. Hook TV Special April 7, 1980, BBC 2: Babooshka. Taped March 20, 1980 Interview with The Dr. Hook Band Delius. Taped March 20, 1980 (Also shown November 25, 1980 as part of a programme about the composer Frederick Delius from the U.K. TV series The Russell Harty Show). Never released, the video includes a figure which represents an image of Delius much like the one depicted in a BBC television film about Delius┤s late years, which was directed by Ken Russell in the early 1970s and which had greatly impressed Kate as a child. 4. Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake Leo Sayer Show, November 17, 1978 Lip-synch from the U.K. TV programme The Leo Sayer Show. Kate performs an early routine for the song. 5. Hounds of Love <excerpt> BPI Awards, March 6, 1986 Lip-synch. <Short.> 6. Delia Smith's Cookery Course U.K. TV, February 28, 1980 This clip was apparently taped in the garden of the family home. Kate talks with great enthusiasm about the healthful dishes which she and her sister-in-law have prepared for the programme; and Kate makes a touching case for vegetarianism, concluding: ôI hope people will think about it, because there really is a lot in vegetables! 7. The BPI Awards February 27, 1980 Best Male Singer award - Kate reads, presents to Leo Sayer on behalf of Gary Numan, who appears by satellite from Pittsburg. Best Female Singer award - won by Kate. 8. Wow At this same BPI Awards show, this lip-synch from Top of the Pops, March 22, 1979 (excerpt). 9. The Russell Harty Show November 25, 1980 Kate appears on the BBC TV chat programme The Russell Harty Show for an edition dedicated to the composer Frederick Delius. She is interviewed with the cellist Julian Lloyd-Webber and Delius' assistant and collaborator Dr. Eric Fenby. Following a screening of part of Kate's Dr. Hook video of Delius, Fenby suggests that the composer would have seen it as a very gracious tribute. 10. Profiles in Rock Canadian TV, December 1980 An extensive interview at her home for a Canadian television production company which is preparing a series of programmes entitled Profiles in Rock, with interviewer Doug Pringle, to be aired on CITY-TV, Toronto. 11. Razzmatazz July 14, 1981 Kate appears on the children's programme Razzmatazz to explain how the Sat In Your Lap video was made. 12. Looking Good, Feeling Fit August 6, 1981 Kate appears on the BBC TV programme Looking Good, Feeling Fit. 13. Friday Night and Saturday Morning November 21, 1981 Kate appears on the commercial TV programme Friday Night, Saturday Morning, a new chat show, at the invitation of the host, noted zoologist Dr. Desmond Morris, to talk about her music and expressive dance. 14. The Old Grey Whistle Test August 17, 1982 Kate is interviewed by Mark Ellin and David Hepworth about The Dreaming single; with the premiere of the video. 15. Under The Ivy The Tube, March 19, 1986 Kate records a live performance of Under The Ivy at Abbey Road Studios for the 100th edition of the Tyne Tees TV programme The Tube. DVD 2 1. Running Up That Hill The Secret Policeman's Third Ball, March 28/29, 1987 Kate performs Running Up That Hill with David Gilmour at Amnesty International's Secret Policeman's Third Ball concert. 2. Rocket Man (video) The BPI Awards, February, 1992 Black and white and cosmic. 3. From Saturday Night Live December 9, 1978: Eric Idle, guest host. The Man With The Child In His Eyes Them Heavy People This is the only performance Kate has ever given of her music for American television, is still a vivid memory in many U.S. fan's minds. After a very sincere introduction by Eric Idle, Kate appeared sitting crosslegged atop a grand piano. The accompanist was Paul Shaeffer (now a nationally famous musician in his role as leader of the David Letterman Show's band), and additional off-screen backing was heard as well. This performance is also the only unexpurgated version on film, so far as IED knows. Kate's choreography is brilliant throughout, and adds considerable nuance to the lyrics' meaning. Later in the programme she re-appeared to perform Them Heavy People. For this song she was dressed much as in the version performed for the Tour of Life, with female and male vocal backing which sounded live. Her performance of both songs was absolutely flawless, and her enigmatic expression at the conclusion of each - like the whole presentation - was quite unprecedented on American television. Finally, Kate appeared on-stage during the end-credits, along with all the other guests and cast-members. 4. Moments of Pleasure Aspel, June 20, 1993 Lip-synch of the album track for "The Red Shoes", at the piano, on Aspel & Company TV show.
