I thought so, but wasn't sure. I also couldn't come up with a name; all I could think of was "the Pink Floyd guy who isn't Roger Waters." messedup0David Gilmour

Gilmour financed her demo when she was sixteen and basically helped get her career started. They go waaaaaaaaaay back.
Kate not performing tunes from her entire catalog is stupid.
I'm not saying she's stupid or arguing her right to perform what she wants how she wants
but you're doing these shows for the fans. As such you should give them a bit of everything they love.
Hopefully for her fans this might lead to a larger tour or maybe some extended runs at some key venues in the states.
Disagree.
Agree.
Strongly disagree.
I think that would be incredibly disappointing.
Kate is a rather unique artist - in fact that is what she is. An Artist. Not a singer nor songwriter nor musician. She really is an artist. And because she does perform live almost never I think she can get the leeway to do whichever songs she chooses and no one will gripe because it is this or nothing. AND to see 'The Ninth Wave' performed live in it's entirety would be so amazing.
She is being pretty smart about this too. Shows two nights in a row - then a break of two or three days before another couple shows. Probably more expensive as far as the venue gos, but as physical as her shows are and she is not young any longer (57) so that will give her body and voice the rest it will need for the long run of shows.
And yeah. I would love to see her do a two week run in another city but I do not expect that will happen anytime soon. And it would be in NYC if it did happen in the USA.
