I love Kate Bush since i discover her in the 80's. She is special. And her few live performances are fantastic too when she sings while playing the piano.
Dave found her when she was just getting start and got her a record deal. " Love & Anger" with Dave playing again. Kate did well on the college charts in the USA.
Yep, I loved this one too, back in the day. Kate Bush was big in the Netherlands too. But it is live not as good as the studio version, in my opinion. That is not a criticism, the song just needs the studio effects, in my opinion. My fav is still "wuthering heights", with the ballet clip.
Her Saturday Night Live appearance in 1978 remains her only US live performance. She actually turned down opening for Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" tour in '78 as well. It was a fear of flying but as you say, her shyness prevented her from performing live often. When she did tour in 1979, and her London residency in 2014, both of those shows are rated as some of the best concerts ever conceived. She was always an all-or-nothing type of artist, and the constant thinking about every detail mentally drained her all too often, so she just focused on creating her music in the studio.
Worthy of note is that she put on a show, not just a concert. It's possible to say that she pioneered multi-costume changes and also had a prototype headphone mic made from a wire coat hanger and tape.
That's David Gilmour, Kate Bush and Tony Franklin in the foreground (and I think Stuart Elliott on drums). Tony Franklin had some thoughts on this event in 1987 lately, some weeks ago on his fretless bass channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBzFHJhkILg.html
Checked that "Stuart Elliott" detail, but he has made it quite easy for me: Stuart Elliott has a picture on the front page of his web page, that confirms it: stuartelliott.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/stuartkate.jpg
A very intersting thing in this video is that Guitar God Dave Gilmour is modest enough to just play like any other band member so everything remains centered on Kate Bush. He opened her the doors to the music business, and I think he must have felt immensely proud to see her career taking off like this.
Her guest stars Eric Clapton (Derek and the Dominos, Cream) and Gary Brooker (Procul Harum) make this a very special song... Always liked it, and the video is brilliant as ever (although it has a simple structure)...
There are not many outside of her concerts!

you may not know, but David Gilmour first met Kate Bush when she was 15/16 and was so impressed he took her demo tapes to record companies around the UK to showcase her talent. He knew then she was a star in waiting...........thank God he did. But to see them work together live on stage is truly fantastic.
One of my favorites❣️Actually, I think it was Roy Harper who discovered her, or maybe he was just bragging 😄 Please, could you react to another of my favorites, Marianne Faithful, "Ballad of Lucy Jordan" or Kim Carnes " Bette Davis Eyes"...or....this one :-D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S_oMD6-6q5Y.html
She and Roy were/still are good friends. Her demos found their way to Gilmour and he cleaned them up and took them to EMI who signed her on the spot. She was only 17 at the time.
@@bentemjanger1030 No, it was a friend of Kate's older brother named Rickey Hopper who was a friend of Gilmour's. Dave Gilmour was looking for new talent to foster and was open to hearing demos that ran across him. Kate and her family made the 3-song demo reel on their own months before taken from over 100 songs Kate had written; Dave liked what he heard and added studio production to the demos, and brought Kate into the studio to re-record the vocals and her piano playing and then he took them to EMI.
