I was completely surprised when watching a rented copy of _Kate Bush: Live at 
Hammersmith Odeon_ for the first time a month or so ago. (I should have my very
own copy shortly, thanks goto Dave Armstrong for making the arrangements!)

I was watching the show and identifying which songs the various clips in 
_WOW_ (v2) had come from. And then it came to _Hammer Horror_ .... 
She didn't sing it. She didn't even lip-synch it! Pre-recorded vocals 
(& music?) came from the sound-system while KaTe danced/mimed/acted out
the visual element...

Can't say I've ever heard of anyone else using a pre-recorded lead vocal track
at a live concert before! (It was GREAT)
