13.05.1979	The second Hammersmith Odeon date. This is the concert which was video-taped and recorded for both the video release and (in a different mix) the On Stage EP.
14.05.1979	The third Hammersmith Odeon date, and the final date of the tour. Kate declines the offer to sing the theme song to the James Bond film Moonraker, saying that although it was a good song, it wasn't right for her. Following the tour, Kate takes some time to recover from what amounts to physical and mental exhaustion.
