When you put quotes around it you kinda had a Freudian slip there 😂😂😂 For clarification, usually you use quotes like that to indicate that is the opposite of the case.
The way Kate Bush first delivered her music to us in the late 70's was a real revelation & totally different to anything we had heard before. The sheer amount of work that went into this tour was astounding. An extraordinary talent for the ages.
The Once and Future Kate. It was 1983. The first album I bought for myself with no other recommendation from anyone else, only from hearing it in my local small town USA record shop, was THE DREAMING. I can still hear the title track blasting through the store and me thinking, “I MUST have that!” I floated to the counter vinyl clutched in my hand and laid out my cash. I still have that vinyl.
The same with me. I bought 'The Dreaming' without any previous knowledge or consideration, just on a feeling. And man, did it change my world. Absolutely mind breaking and mending. Unbelievable. It still is after all those years.
A friend at work introduced me to Kate Bush. It was like everything I thought I knew about music, went out the window. I'm forever grateful to my friend.
I went to the Sunderland Empire concert "The Tour Of Life" and remember it to this day. The costume changes for each song were incredible. No one had ever done that. I also went to the Hammersmith Odeon concert Kate did with Peter Gabriel and Steve Harley at the end of the tour, which, if memory serves me correctly, raised funds for one of the roadies who died during the original tour.
I still remember seeing her for the first time in the video of wuthering heights. Must've been nine or ten yo. One of the defining musical experiences in my life. Found out how the record player worked within a week, picked an album from my parents' collection because of the cartoonish cover and discovered Janis Joplin. I still consider myself lucky.
I remember when "Wuthering Heights" came out,and couldn't help being blown away by it ! It was completely unique,and a breath of fresh air. This documentary shows what a discerning artist she was,and what a sweet and gorgeous woman. Love you Kate ❤
My golly gosh! I have never seen this -- a friend told me this existed back in the 1980s but tonight was the first time viewing it. Thank you, @BBC Archive for sharing it with us.
It's a testament to how undeniable and pure her talent was that even Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols who famously couldn't stand practically all music was a Kate Bush fan

Thanks so much for this. When I was in hs I knew a very pretentious lad who had both Bush albums. She was a singer who appealed to rock listeners as well as those who liked something different.
The night before Liverpool the show was performed at Poole Arts centre (2nd April) which is where I saw her. They had problems with the head mic so she had to use a hand held mic for some of it but it was still a fantastic show.
@gavinmaitland80 That night her lighting director fell through an open panel in the stage floor and died of his injuries a week later. This very nearly put an end to the whole tour. If you don't believe any of this Google it.
Magnificent documentary in realtime of a timeless talent. BBC Archive ... your legacy journalists captured exquisite moments of history. This reminds me of the self-documenting Frank Zappa archives. As an Aussie kid growing up in the 70's and 80's, we saw a lot of Kate Bush. Great insight.
I listen to her music eversince. but unfortunately never saw her live performing. well, her music remains epic, because there was and is and never will be something clear and harmonical as this kind of music. thanks to Kate Bush, there is pure love to listen to... I wish her love and all the best! ❤
*its called "THE TOUR OF LIFE"* and it is utterly astonishing - i wish I had seen it live " Kate Bush - The tour of Life HD LPR Remastering (Live at Hammersmith Odeon 79) "
Martin Fisher - the sound engineer as featured on this video- was recently commenting that nobody called it the Tour of Life at the time. The tour programme carried a Lionheart tour logo. He said some people just called it the Kate Bush Tour. Retrospectively Kate may have changed the name in regards of what happened to Bill Duffield.
@@mjarve909 I was aware of the confusion over the name - cos I was trying to find it to watch about 3 months ago - thats actually why I posted the comment. It was hard to find a HD videp of the show.
Thing is at the time in the 80s you liked her work and you never realized back then that there wouldn't be any other just like her or similar, you sort of took her for granted and I sort of regret that, I should have gone out there and at the very least seen her live in concert.
l was lucky..l liked her in her prime though l was only 9 when this video was filmed in 1979. * also was a dancer..ballet & gymnastics 5 played piano, guitar & sung. She was a mentor for me.❤️ Sort of a shame she didn't keep her lean & flexible body.

4:15 Kate Bush, and her band, seen here rehearsing at Woodwharf Studios, Greenwich, not 'Wharf Studios', as the voiceover says here. A fondly remembered place, long since swept away by 'improvement'. I rehearsed there a lot in the 80s, when it was under the able management of the charismatic Billy Jenkins.
I remember when Kate Bush first surfaced I was just finishing high school in 1978 I think. I took one look at her on the album cover and heard her voice and I knew she had it all !
One year before this was recorded she was already showcasing her characteristic dance moves while making a promotional video for her debut album in a Dutch theme park. However, I can imagine the dancing aspect had to be expanded and perfected for a live show.

Catering by her sister-in-law. 😂 I love how informal and wholesome it all is. Can you imagine that nowadays? The catering alone would be a bigger consideration than the likes of the sound and choreography here. The demands for instagram perfect food - and thats just from your average woman on her phone! Imagine catering to a bunch of 'artistic' divas! There'd be an absolute riot on. Kate Bush had it right and stayed true to what mattered. We're so spoiled and have our priorities so badly wrong these days.
She revolutionized the pop singer by being aesthetic with her sound, and her AMAZING team came up with the tiny face mic?!?!?!?!?! Like?!?!?!?!?! What????? It’s very scary to take a risk on something as a vocalist. I would say she is comparable to Imogen Heap in that way…. Something magical, innovative to the point of scientific. Really a fabulous documentary I’m glad my feed recommended this
back in the days, when it was good to have friends doing music so you can join them in any random way they need. or just take photos cause who cares anyway, just drive with them and call yourself a legendary photographer decades later. things were easy and I wouldve loved experiencing that time.
Fortunate to have seen her twice on this tour (utterly brilliant), but never knew this existed and Bernard Clarke did some good reports on musical artists.
Weird virtue-signalling comment. There were plenty of woman artists before her who were absolutely huge. Diana Ross, Cher, Streisand, Dusty, Aretha, Nina, Carly, Dolly … that’s not even putting a dent into it.
@@thefonzkiss this is not a comment just referencing her sales. Few (if any, and certainly none in Britain before her) female artists wrote ALL their own songs, produced themselves, insisted on owning their music and publishing rights (through their own company) operated on a tape release contract and effectively managed and financed themselves and kept their record company at arms length.
Now go through those names and find the DIY artists. Joni is the only one I would put in that category. The rest relied (in some cases heavily) on outside management and arrangements help. Take the fool's sip.
@@spooley Totally agree, Joni and Kate had resilience and bravery beyond imagination. How they smashed their way through the nonsense that existed then (and still largely does today) - was incredible.

She is one of the great survivors of the 1970s and now also loved by a new generation.
Man With The Child In His Eyes has to be one of the most haunting, beautiful songs ever.❤
Great upload.

Technically, it was uploaded seven hours ago.

She's a visionary, innovator and revolutionary. A full force of nature.
Trailblazer. Genius. Wow.
Can you give any reasons or are you just a parrot?
What an amazing family she came from. I would have loved to have sat and taken in the conversations around the family dinner.
20 year old Kate Bush might be the most beautiful human to have ever walked the planet. Maybe I am a bit tipsy…but..no, I think she really might be…..
What an incredible VT that is…..she truly was top of her game.
Whenever she speaks it’s like the world stops to listen. Her charisma levels are pretty much infinite.
