Got this pic, my fav ever female musician, being backed by my fav ever bassist. :-o

As kate only toured once, and did fleeting live appearances, I'd love to find out when this happened and what they played, plus, of course, how I get hold of the audio.

Who's the bass player?
Rakkervoksen

Looks like good ole Mick Karn. Check his playing on Gary Numan's Dance if you want to hear genius (not bad sax either). As to the Bush, dunno - but she did do appearances on The Policeman's Ball or Other Ball if i recall correctly. Is it from one of those shows?

Yes, of course it Mick Karn, genius indeed. (I could always spot Karn by his right hand technique alone, he kept it virtually flat, just moving his fingers!) Saw him live once with Angie Bowie. She just recited crap poetry whilst Mick played the most gorgeous liquid bass I've ever heard over the top.

The pic is not from a Secret Policemans ball, for sure. Still trying to place it.

spooky, talking to a mate last night and the Dali's Car project came up (gawd knows how...)

That was a strange/cool lp, ol' Pete Murphy reciting his spiel with Mick burbling away behind. Love to hear it again (though it may not have stood the test of time... :))

Maybe it's a picture from "The Prince's Trust Rock Gala" from 1982.

Dali's Car were cool. I've Tried to find a 12" copy of 'Judgement Is The Mirror', just to sample the bassline. No luck yet.

Murphy though, apparently hated the project and burns every copy of the album he finds :lol: :lol:


Prince's Trust '82 sounds a possibility. That's definitely Karns' 82 look, and Kate DID play that gig. Good pointer ...

:-o unbelieveable !

that's one of my favourite albums (principally because of Mick's bass playing, it has to be said)

Dreams of Reason is another corker and for those looking for an intro to Karn, I would suggest Japan's Oil on Canvas live album. gorgeous :D

Seconded on 'Oil On Canvas'. Smooooooooth bass 8)

It's still one of my all time favs. first time I ever heard it was while waiting for a butthole surfers show to start. It was in a little club in ATL called "the metroplex" there were about a thousand of us idiots packed into a space that was certainly not rate for half that :shock:
While I enjoyed the pandemonium that IS the buttholes, I HAD to have the Dali's Car. It was the memorable part of the evening. That and a friend's date having her (pierced) earring ripped out in the pit :-o

Talk about a result! Someone sent me the link to the full video clip of this last night.

It is from the 1982 Princes trust gig. The song is 'The Wedding List' and the backing band features, Karn, Phil Collins, Midge Ure and a very young looking Pete Townsend.

Here's the link if anyone else wants it

Great vid, thanks!
Glassback's personal whipping boy.

You think someone could persuade her to do some Live8 type gig in the future for charidy, i mean if they can get Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour on the same stage at the same time then this should be easy.
