Kate Bush Live in Manchester, April 10th, 1979. (1988) This album, a two-record set from our old familiar NYC-based bootleg
outfit, is exactly what it claims to be. The record is not as complete a record of the Tour programme as the bootleg 2-LP
set of the Bristol concert (which is a virtually unedited copy of the entire concert), since it only contains twenty
tracks, and some though not all of the incidental music and prose-readings are missing. But it is a different performance,
and Kate and the band are in unusually fine form. The sound is boomy on the bottom and weak on the treble, but it still
manages to create a strong atmosphere and presence, and the album, overall, is considerably more listenable than, say,
the Paris concert bootlegs, which have extremely muffled and distant sound. "Moving" is extremely beautiful and ethereal
in this performance.

I have edited this one by adding more treble making it less boomy. This comes from a direct rip of the vinyl that I
bought many years ago. Kate's live shows are extremely rare, so I thought you would enjoy it.
