LOL! Actually no, Wend. I do that during shows on cruises and you do miss a lot, especially if it's good. There are several entitled people who probably will though judging by comments on her FB page. www.facebook.com/katebush I cannot believe some are still moaning about not getting a ticket or that she's not touring the country/world while calling themselves genuine fans. If people can fly across the world (bloody Icelandic volcano permitting!), those in the country can get a train or coach like the rest of us. Don't want to see her THAT much then, do they? I am hoping she'll allow at least one photo op though. I'm still taking my dad's camera (mine breaches Eventim lens rules even though it's a bridge and not DSLR) which is crap at the best of times but there are still pics to take of the pre-concert meet up (I love FB at times!), venue and stage before it starts. By the way, there is also a Radio 6 three hour special at 7am (  ) on the 24th. |

True fans would have moved heaven and earth to get those tix. If they really wanted them they would have got them. When I went to see Billy Joel at Wembley in 1987? 88? for his Bridge tour, I worked 18 hours straight, then I took a bus to Newport, then took a train to London and I stayed with my cousin after the concert. By lunchtime the next day I was back at work full of euphoria that lasted til 10pm that night. Best gig ever!!!  |

I can imagine. Besides, even if Kate DID tour, there's no guarantee the moaners would get a ticket. Same thing as her residency would have happened. |

Doesn`t Kate look gorgeous Pats. She hardly seems to have aged. Hopefully with the massive success this concert will be, Kate will do a full tour. And then maybe a world tour. Msybe then the moaners can get a ticket then  I`ve always loved the duet she sang with Peter Gabriel "Don`t Give Up". I played it last weekend on my mp3 player. |

They still wouldn't be happy. LOL! It's unlikely she'll tour. She hated it in 1979 an if rumours are true, the set will be very elaborate so constantly putting it up and taking it down will be a problem and would explain the one location. There hasn't been anything at the Apollo for a couple of weeks.

LOL! Someone posted a link to some other site on a Kate Bush FB group for supposedly BBC4 but what played wasn't that. Someone else commented the original one has malware while another member posted this one. Give it a go first. It's meant to play iPlayer.

I could play iPlayer but wasn`t able to download anything off it like I usually could with Tunnelbear. I also couldn`t watch Pobol Y Cwm or anything else on Clic. What a shame. It worked good for itv.com when I watched Emmerdale, but it froze halfway through for about 10 minutes. Not sure if it was itv or that VPN prog.  I`ve put the prog on pause, but if it contains malware I`ll delete it. |

That prog would be handy for you to watch the US and Canadian shows online Pats |

Technology! Some people were able to watch the KB progs on iPlayer using it.

I bet those KB fans are hugely grateful to you and others for that link Pats. Maybe it will stop some of `em grousing for a while now they got their KB fix |

Can't take the credit for it. Wend, but gave it to my Norwegian friend Oskar so he can watch Cher on the Old Grey Whistle Test. He's only 18 but is flying to Canada to see her in October.

Her final dress rehearsal in now in front of an audience. An American on a FB group got into London today and saw the people outside. No press it looks like.
