I discovered Kate Bush through the Hounds of Love album when I was 11 in 1984. It was the year my father died suddenly and Cloudbusting helped me through. Seeing Kate play live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014 from the middle of the 4th row was so emotional. I thought she wouldn't play Cloudbusting when the concert ended ..but she came back and sung it for the encore...an experience I will never forget. Hounds of Love was released in the days well before Spotify when we would listen to whole albums. I always imagined the story she was telling on the Hounds of Love from start to finish and her live performance was exactly how I imagined - "And Dream of Sheep" was so powerful - in fact, many powerful moments in that show that I will always feel privileged to have experienced. Kate's music got me through the toughest time of my life and will always be in my heart

@@adammoore652 Yep. Stuart Elliott played from "The Kick Inside"1978 to "Aerial" 2005.

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

Tony has a KZbin channel now, and he has a video where he talks about this particular show.

[@dublev78]

Love how you get to see the transformation of nervous Kate to confident Kate as she realizes how awesome the things around her are.

[@ramram-td1jl]

Is it just me or this version is even better than the studio version? Those live instruments and their amazing players just made the song even more awesome!

[@76marex]

not even close

[@patricklarry6645]

My favorite version just cause its rock n roll!

[@bobbylope]

It’s just you

[@nixon9346]

No

[@ramosel]

Agreed. The original was just whiney synth-pop. Tony Franklin's bass drove this song and David Gilmour's guitar just stings the whole way through. In the 80s, I'd change the station when this song came on... I'd have bought this version. She seems to be enjoying it too.

[@billholder1330]

I had no idea this even existed - WOW!

[@farid7263]

Kate bush and David Gilmour show there what true genius in music is

[@boozhwatrash]

Three legends are in this video. Tony Franklin on bass is an absolute God

[@richtea5741]

You forgot Stuart Elliott the drummer who played with top profile artists

[@j.j.meredith8492]

I had no idea till today that David Gillmore discovered her when she was 13, and by 19 she wrote over 40 songs. Amazing.

[@cactaceous]

She was 15 and when he got her with producers and engineers, she already had over 40 songs. At 15.

[@berke2336]

Steinberger guitars and fretless bass deserve a mainstream revival. Every single bass player in this comment section knows that bassist deserves 110% to be beside these two

[@Michael-mm3fm]

Brilliant bass playing

[@jamesmcintyre4103]

Tony Franklin.....classic Bass strum...Awsome.

[@jamesharp9640]

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this over the years. She really is incredible ❤️

[@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.

[@jimegan6848]

As if the song isn't legendary enough, David Gilmour's accompaniment makes this punch a hole in the sky.

[@onlyme219]

And the mullet-wearing bass player, he defo did his part

[@anthonydavies35]

Kate doesn’t pay her band. She just smiles at them and that’s worth more than money

[@davidryan7386]

the guitar is rock perfection.

[@pollockdonald]

Awesome ..stranger things got me onto this song and to see my hero Dave Gilmore doing it makes it even better

[@DarClaude]

@pollockdonald Gilmour actually discovered Kate Bush and brought her to the wider audience. Pretty cool!

[@giancarlod.5309]

same for me. Incredible

[@julieabaxter3054]

I saw Kate Bush on SNL when I was 16 years old. My dad didn’t like her but I did. I’m 60 now and I still love her & her music. This video I could watch 1000 times a day. Im so glad she is getting the recognition that she deserves❤️

[@madisonsmith9127]

I wish I could’ve seen her SNL performances but they’re nowhere to be found on KZbin 😢

[@michaelboese239]

If David Gilmour is your guitarist and sings background vocals, you must have a hell of a lot of talent.

[@jester9936]

The real musicians, the real artists, pure quality in 1980s.

[@madisonsmith9127]

I watch this performance once a day for seratonin✨
