Kate Bush - The Wedding List (Live 1982)

Kate performs "The Wedding List" at the Prince's Trust concert in 1982.
Lyrics:
No, I'll never give the hunt up,
And I won't muck it up.
Somehow this was it, I knew.
Maybe fate wants you dead, too:
We've come together in the very same room,
And I'm coming for you!
Did you think I'd ever let you
Get away with it, huh?
He swooned in warm maroon.
There's gas in your barrel, and I'm flooded with Doom.
You've made a wake of our honeymoon,
And I'm coming for you!"
"All of the headlines said 'Passion Crime:
'Newlyweds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride!
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"
("She sure put him on the--")
I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll get him on the wedding list!
I'll get him and I will not miss.
Now, as I'm coming for you,
All I see is Rudi.
I die with him, again and again.
And I'll feel good in my revenge.
I'm gonna fill your head with lead
And I'm coming for you!
And when it's all over you'll roll over
The butt of my gun:
One in your belly, and one for Rudi.
You got what you gave by the heel of my bootie.
Bang-bang--Out! like an old cherootie,
And I'm coming for you!
"All of the headlines said 'Passion Crime:
'Newlyweds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride!
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"
("She sure put him on the--")
I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll get him on the wedding list!
I'll get him and I will not miss.
"After she shot the guy,
She committed suicide.
I'm coming, Rudi!
"And later, when they analysed,
They found a little one inside.
I'm coming, coming, coming, honey!
"It must have been Rudi's child."
I shot him!
"Never mind, she got the guy."
He hit the ground, Rudi!
"An eye for an eye."
Ashes to ashes...
"Eye for an eye."
Rudi!

"Never For Ever" is SUCH a masterpiece. It's like a storybook for grownups, from the album cover to the songs themselves. There's no filler in there. This song is actually the one that took me the longest time to get into. Now I think it's just brilliant. The lyrics really hold your attention. Attending the "Before the Dawn" performance in August 2014 was one of those "If I had a time machine, I'd want to relive that night over and over" moments for me.

[@beathusk1018]

Her first six studio albums are masterpieces 😍

Adult storytelling is such a spot on way of describing the album. I just listened to it again for the umpteenth time and it NEVER gets old.

[@chwastozercyancientslowfoo205]

Absolutely agree. Splendid piece, quite little known, but marvelous masterpiece.

[@DannyELoi]

Agreed. Never Forever is definitely a masterpiece.

and you constantly keep them in the dark so you show that you DO concider them as a backing band although they are experts. What a shame and I beleive that now that she is getting older when she sees these videos she will realize how she behaved to them.

It might seem superficial when talking about the hugely talented genius that is Kate Bush, but I’ll say it anyway : wow she was so hot!! 😍

[@isobeljames1328]

Music and lyrics by Kate Bush Co produced by Kate Bush and Jon Kelly

[@silverascal]

It’s okay. She just was! 😂 Gay man here, in adoration of Kate Bush since 1978, and there’s just no denying her physical presence with just so much talent in full on burgeoning mode 😊

[@lewismaddox4132]

She blithely held her damn top up as if it were something anticipated. She lost absolutely none of the fire she brought to this song. Stunning!

[@vinvanveen]

I just love this performance. Kate's vocals are fantastic - it's a real shame she never performed live a lot. And it's amazing how tight Mick and Phil are together. They sound like a rhythm section who've been playing together for years, but I read in Mick's autobiography that he didn't rehearse with the rest of the band until the final rehearsal. I guess the both of them are just *that* incredibly talented, tight players. RIP Mick.

[@harvey1954]

When Kate played the song for the band at rehearsal Gary Brooker ask her about some of the chords. Kate couldn't tell him what their names were. I was surprised that she didn't release this as a single. My favorite Kate lp. Her one breast almost made a surprise appearance.

[@asmodeusvadrigar2371]

Kate did lots of dancing in that dress top for "Sat In Your Lap" - funny how it would finally give way on stage like that.

[@alfredocruz]

Mick Karn is perfect for Kate's fretless bass songs like Breathing.

[@isobeljames1328]

Bassist on Breathing is John Giblin

[@razrv3lc]

I wish she had done more truly live performances. I know it would have been impossible with how she performed, but this simple "just standing there and singing" sounds wonderful.

[@marcinfelis6868]

Especially she looks wonderful

[@klebertsilva2220]

Yesss!!

[@blackbirdwitch]

Great choice of song Kate! At the Prince's Trust, in front of Charles and Di presumably, one year into the marriage from hell and the bride certainly wishing she'd put him on The Wedding List! 😄😄😄 Cheeky Kate 😍😍😍

[@jeframp3805]

I hadn't thought of that, all the other songs of the never for ever album she could of done she chose this one and she had had 3 prevois albums before that. If she was trying to promote the album you would think a more well known song like Babooshka which had made the top 10 would have been the logical choice. ! I wonder if she was hinting at something! It was a great song and well performed so maybe she just liked it and wanted to perform it.

[@ourson66]

The original "wardrobe malfunction!" Like a trooper, she just carries on and finishes the song. Love her! :)

[@MaskedMan66]

By no means the first! But you are right about her carrying on like a pro (what else do you do?).

[@martinharris5017]

What an all-star cast in this band!

[@silverascal]

Met Kate in New York City back in 1993 and then saw her perform live at the Hammersmith Apollo in September 2014. Both encounters with her were like nothing I'd ever experienced before. She is special. Then, sitting in the audience at the Hammersmith, I couldn't help but remember that brief meeting in New York when she took my hand and said, "Oh, don't weep!" and humored me by telling me that she remembered meeting my mother in an airport--of all places. I knew she was humoring me at the time, and because I insisted that my mother believed she'd met Kate Bush in a U.S. airport; but, it didn't matter. She sensitively played along, went with with the momentary dream; and, for that, I'll always be grateful and believe that there are "special" people that come into this "world." Kate Bush is one of them!

[@drichard123]

Lovely encounter with a lovely person.

[@lennylaa1686]

Tears rolling down my cheeks.

[@charliechaz1982]

Oh my that is such a lovely story. I always thought Kate came across down to earth, friendly and decent and yes a special, lovely human when I saw clips of her or interviews. This just backs up that theory. What a woman.

[@nepntzerZer]

What a nice story, even if it's not true

[@davidklein4680]

I remember seeing that in the village voice in 1993 of December I wish I went to that and meet her lucky you 👍

[@NoahWurth]

This song always makes me cry.

[@mattking5936]

Kate had some great bass players on her tracks. John Giblin on breathing for example, again another fretless bass. I'm sure she would have appreciated Karn on this. Another great performance from Kate. I think she has to be the most underrated music artists of all time amongst the general population. We know anyone who knows anything about music rate her very highly.

[@yassassin6425]

Mick Karn also played on 'Heads We're Dancing' from 'The Dreaming'.

[@pryderipwyll3479]

Mick Karn's Bass playing is so beautiful. Every time he plays someone else's songs he improves on the original. Maybe it's just me. I love his playing so much. Never showy; always just right. One of the tastiest players ever. I'll bet he loved James Jamerson.

[@Chavvvvvvv]

I agree with you 100%! You're so right.

[@pryderipwyll3479]

I'm just nuts about the guy. Listen to his Bass on "No Regrets" from this show. The album version sounds like a robot by comparison.

[@SuperDiddzz]

***** comparable to Billy Sheenan.

[@philiplindsay225]

Louis Scarnato . You are absolutely correct . Mick is one of the greats of bass playing.

[@michaellyle8769]

Mick Karn was a fucking monster. The only two left who even compare are Tony Levin and Trey Gunn.

[@AlEbnereza]

And does no one see Phil Collins behind the drums!?!? It's like an entire family of some of the best musicians we've had in the past 30-40 years all knew each other. Kate, Phil, Peter Gabriel, David Gilmour, and few others I forget all made music together at various stages of their careers, and they're each legends on their own behalf.

[@rubymickey155]

[@NeglectedField]

Kate Bush is actually quite popular with metal fans. Cronos of Venom and Hoest of Taake are fans to name but two. Then you've got the likes of Novembre and Within Temptation doing covers of Cloudbusting and Running Up That Hill, respectively. I've definitely forgotten some.
