I was simply blown away by the breath-taking show put on by Kate Bush on Saturday. Here's some of the theatrics she pulled off;
- turned the whole stage into a wild sea complete with buoy (which she clung to as she sang)
- turned the stage into a seabed, danced and sang inside the wreck of a sunken ship
- sunk her family living room complete with son and husband watching TV and appeared (ghostlike) from behind an open door
-turned the entire stage into a frozen lake and fell beneath the ice
- turned the stage into a gothic hall complete with 20 foot high doors
- made it snow on stage
- turned the stage into a snowy forest with one tree smashing through her piano
- buzzed the audience with a helicopter rig complete with searchlight, rotor-blade blast and dry ice
- had a 10 foot high self-painting artists canvas that changed with the songs
- had a wooden puppet break free from its puppeteer and run round the stage
- gradually transformed herself into a blackbird and took off from the stage
- had an acoustic jig with the band among confetti cannons, there were movie backdrops, lasers, dry-ice, image projections, dead 'fish-people', a funeral march (where she was carried off stage into the audience)
and that's only the stuff I can remember... absolutely amazing!
I hope they release a film of the show.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
