I think the reluctance of Kate Bush to play live comes from the pressure she puts on herself to create a huge show filled with theatrics and dance and all the tiring rehearsal that involves. This performance here proves that if she wanted to she could do a straightforward show/tour, just holding a mic in front of a live band and singing. It's actually very rare to see her doing just that and it works great.

@@hansolo2121 dude she's not lip syncing at all

[@dylanstubbe8]

Maybe she knows she's dogshit at singing

[@ateam1054]

Also she was devastated when a stagehand fell to his death from the catwalks just before one of her first ever concerts. She fought her way through the rest of the tour and then rejected further concert tours.

This was a special occasion. This was one of the last "Secret Policeman's Ball" concerts. The album this is on is "The Secret Policeman's Third Ball." That's where I first heard it.

[@davisbloke]

Right there with you. I drop by for a listen every now again and end up having it on repeat for a couple of hours. I was 10 when it was originally released as a single and it was the first time I'd heard anything by Kate Bush. It sounded like nothing else in the charts at that time and immediately grabbed you, but this live version is just astonishingly good and the credit must go to DG for having the vision to make it happen.

[@YungStinkyWinky]

Amazing, most artists would down-key a song to make it easier to sing it live. She went UP. Legend.

[@ralffig3297]

The bass just takes this version to another level. Just incredible.

Kate Bush performs so little that I swear a part of me forgets she's a real person as opposed to some sort of pop mythological figure until I watch videos like this. Honestly how is it possible for one woman to evoke such massive amounts of emotion with just her voice?

Tony Franklin is a bass god - he played in the supergroup "The Firm" with Paul Rodgers, Jimmy Page, and Chris Slide. He's not a household name, but he is revered by bass players to the point that Fender has a Tony Franklin signature model fretless P-bass.

That band is SO great, all of them not only the bass player, from David to each and every one of them, this is what it means to be real musicians and to be able to play live on a session, you would NEVER get accepted to play with those guys if you did not know music and able to truly be a musician, not a wannabe, OFC Kate is the cherry on the top she is beyond words.

Kate Bush is the pop version of Rush. Just musical integrity that can’t be denied.

You can't compare her to anyone. She's too unique!

[@troystaunton254]

@@lenini056 yes she’s unique but there artistic integrities that apply to her and rush and nick cave and the bad seeds that mean you can compare to others rather favourably without saying she is just like them. All 3 artists I’ve mentioned have had mainstream success and all 3 had it based on musical prowess not looks, not charisma but by simply being amazing at what they do, and the fact they all make music that in no way resembles their more mainstream contemporaries and still had long lasting success is just another comparison you can make between them.
