Were you one of the thousands who was unable to score tickets to Kate Bush's ongoing Before The Dawn comeback concert run, or unable to justify traveling to London to witness the event? We have some modestly good news for you then: The event will apparently be filmed for a performance DVD.
Mind you none of this has been made official by the Bush camp yet. However both The Guardian newspaper and fan blog Kate Bush News have a pretty solid lede: e-mails received by concert attendees asking if they'd be alright switching seats at forthcoming shows.
"Unfortunately, due to a late decision to film the show for a DVD release, we have had to relocate you from your original seat," read an e-mail from Eventim, the company producing the concert series, to those with tickets for the September 16 and 17 shows.
Bush had asked fans several times to leave cell phones and cameras in their pockets during the concert run as to better enhance the live experience. We figured it was just so you wouldn't annoy the person behind you but perhaps Bush is aiming to monopolize the live video market for Before The Dawn (seriously though, it's probably so people put their damn phones away).
There's good reason to buy in when (and assuming if) a live DVD of the event makes it to American shores: The show includes a complete performance of Bush's "The Ninth Wave," a seven-song suite that serves as the B-Side to her 1985 album Hounds of Love. Even if it didn't come to American audiences, the Brits in Bush's homeland have showed a renewed fanaticism for the performer since her return to the limelight: 11 of the vocalist's previous albums placed on the UK Top 40 in the lead-up to her comeback series.
