NAh..after listening to "Live in Japan" I'm quite certain that "Pussycat" was not in the original Kapp medley..
I seem to recall that on"Anyone Who had a Heart" it ends instrumentally with "Love Me "TOO" On the melody line of "Too" unison violins start a trill on that melody note- it's on the 3rd of the chord...then the violins ape the same thing in the next bar a 5th below trilling again - this time on a whole step - these 2 bars are repeated (harmonically we have 2 major 7th chords alternating a fourth apart in each 3/4 bar below those notes)and then into "Wives and Lovers"...The "Wives" instrumentation is altered on the "Live in Japan" as well.....so yes....Burt changed the original Kapp Medley by 1974...
My memory is returning..... I need to lay down on the couch! lol ;)
