1. Oh God, does this song take me back. Thanks for posting it.

2. I remember seeing her do this for the first time on Saturday Night Live

Eric Idle was hosting. I had never heard or seen anything like that. And she was literally a child when she wrote that song.

She still blows me away. Thanks for posting that.

3. I saw that show, too -- I was blown away by her performance.

I have been a Kate Bush fan, since...

5. I've still got a VHS i recorded of that show when it was live.

VHS tapes last longer than they said they would.

9. When NBC released that episode officially on VHS, they dropped her songs

But you still saw her waving with the cast at the end.

Must have been some screwy international licensing problem, or something. Which sucks, because she was absolutely amazing.

Hold on to that tape.

10. I loaded the clips onto Youtube just now but ...

the system posted a message that they were copyright protected and are blocked worldwide.

As an experiment I uploaded them without any descriptive info and the system still recognized them.

I can still see them myself but I can't share them with anyone else.

Interesting how they can analyze the raw video data and determine the content.
