album.

As  mentioned  elsewhere, this is NOT correct.  The  music/vocals
were
re-recorded.

In a television documentary about the Tour of Life, Kate is shown
having a
discussion  during  the planning phase of the tour  with  another
person and the
point  is  being  made that any of the recorded portions  of  the
concert would
have  to  be re-recorded by the band to prevent hassles with  the
musician
union.

At  any  rate, I doubt that Kate would have used the album  music
even if she
could. She also stated in this program that her intention for the
tour was
to  make the music "better" than what was on the albums, and that
the
live arrangements had more "punch" to them.

I  don't remember the name of this documentary off hand - IED (Hi
Andy!) or
someone else can probably fill in the details.
