Create Your Own Kate Bush Album

Hi,

I just have such a wide/large respect for artists that continue to create new things and they are all so different and it's like ... it just never stops ... and she fits the mold, so to speak.  

But my concern is that you can hear a song in the DVD, and in the filming of it there would be two cameras (let's say) and one is on the guitar and then the bass, and then the lights and then a wide shot) and the other is on the drums, and then the lights and then on her and then the keyboards ... meaning just like the majority of MTV live crap that the conceptual side of the concert is non-existent in the filming at all, and to be able to come up with something that helps clean that up will likely be impossible, unless you blend in cartoons, and other visuals from a light show that was not there in the concert, but would become the "set" that she would have wanted to be seen for one song, for example.

This is the worst part and the most offensive side of the majority of rock music videos, and even Marty (Scorcese) is guilty of it, not knowing the songs and the music enough to define the cameras during it, and this hurts ... and right now, only one film (I think it was the one by J. Demme on Neil Young) that allowed Neil to go alone and complete ... and not have to cut it up by showing his hand play a note or two, or a car in the garage, or the wife busy cooking, or the empty stage behind him! He made sure that Neil had the focus for the whole song ... and that is so rare ... and of course, no one, even in "progressive-fake-land" will  EVER see that because Neil is not "progressive" ... not realizing how much more progressive than so many his age are not ... and he was able to mix and match with other musicians, when most can't. 

Hopefully something will come out of it, but, honestly, I don't think it will happen. As Kate said, it is not a priority in her book!

I would rather go to her place and help her put together the DVD of her shows ... it is obvious that there were some really poor decisions made during the filming that tore apart at the fabric of the concert and Kate's concept of the whole thing ... and I'm not sure that a good DVD can be made of it, but I would be willing to help bring it to life ... there are too many of us that would want to see it ... not to mention the actual fans!

I like the "total package" ... not just a song or two.

They've been mutual fans for a long time. Elton sings on a track on "50 Words for Snow" and he was at the same Kate concert as me in 2014.
