Kate's legendary performance on Saturday Night Live (the only time she *ever* performed in the U.S.) was only repeated once. I do not know of a commercial source for it. When they show this episode of SNL (with guest host Eric Idle) on The Best Of SNL, Kate's performances are cut out! :-( However, if you ask around you might find someone who actually recorded that show; you might be able to get a copy that way. On the other hand, the _Live At Hammersmith_ show *is* a part of everyone's basic video library (or should be). Information about how to obtain this has been posted before, but if you'd like more information feel free to e-mail me. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov

I fell >immediately and hopelessly IN LOVE. The other song was "Them Heavy People". I think this occured in 1978. I remember coming home early that particular night from my usual dazed Saturday night outing, just because Eric Idle was to be guest host on SNL. I got in, and turned on the tube right when Kate startred her first song. Next thing I knew, there was a comercial on and I was wondering why I hadn't taken my coat off yet. She was mesmerizing! I think it was those big eyes of hers. I went out looking for a record to buy and got _Lion Heart_, which was the wrong one for those two songs. Unfortunately, I didn't really like it at the time, and didn't hear any of her other music (this happened in the USA, of course) until I bought _The Dreaming_ for my girlfriend in 1982. After the first listen, I knew it had to be one of the best LPs of the year, and remains my favorite of Kate's. Sure would like to see the SNL show again though... -- Ken Spagnolo - Systems Programmer, Postmaster, Usenet Administrator, etc. Computer Centre, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand K.Spagnolo@massey.ac.nz Phone: +64-63-69099 x8587 New Zealand = GMT+12
