Thank goodness for KZbin, this is a historic document to see Kate performing in concert. The whole family are well-rounded and intelligent people, and Kate herself is lev el headed and mature. A very rare glimpse into the legend.

[@okgo8315]

She was an absolute joy to work with in every aspect, and the band too. I did the on stage sound engineering and developed the headset mic for her. (1979) Never has an artist or crew put so much effort and dedication into a tour.... and i did many.

[@fenderfetish]

Great stuff! I really enjoyed this, I’ll bet it was incredible to be part of 😎

Hey Martin. I would love the chance to work with her. When I was a kid the first record I ever bought was one of hers. Led me to a life time of real creative music with other bands/artists.

[@modifiedcontent]

Creating that headset was a pioneering milestone moment in live music performance

[@boatfaceslim9005]

Not a pop star, but an artist through and through. Grounded, honest, modest and focussed on her work. Both of her brothers seem grounded, solid people too. The product of quality parents.

[@onlyme219]

Her smile, her personality in interviews are just lovely, very humble lady, oh and she is a musical original genius

[@firstbornjordan]

What a great role model, mature, brilliant, gifted, humble, level-headed, vulnerable, a leader, executive, artist, choreographer, kind and brave.

[@HomerSparkle]

There would never be a Kate Bush in today's music industry. People with real character, profound idiosyncrasies, pure natural talent, incredible uniqueness, insight and intelligence, and without all that socio-political baggage that plagues the modern world, belong to another era, and will never be seen again, except in these old video archives. I don't just feel like I've lost the most important part of myself, it's like we've lost the entire human race, and all that's left is a shadow.

[@g0balot]

Having seen Kate Bush twice at the London Palladium I might have agreed. However, try this young lady who I have also seen more than once. Different style but similar vibe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXfddquLg5aBbqs

[@cjhFL]

Such a humble and sweet person. Six years later (1985) Kate released one of the best albums of all time, "Hounds of Love". A true Masterpiece of music. I love the first three tracks, the hits if you will. But tracks 4 to 12 still give me chills. Kate made an album that sounded unlike any music that had been made before. Not many artists can say that.

[@teresadelaney1361]

Love her since I was a teenager...genius! ❤️🌹

[@RaymondPeckIII]

I was able to get tickets for two consecutive nights and flew from San Francisco to London to see her residency a few years ago. The Ninth Wave was absolutely crushing, heart-tearing, astonishing.

Let's not look at the world through rose tinted spectacles. The 70s had more than their fair share of nasty people - just look at how prominent football hooliganism and the National Front were. The people you see here are nice because they're nice people - not because the 70s was some kind of golden era for niceness, because it wasn't at all.

[@electricdreams1616]

She came from a very musical and gifted family which really grounded her and she knew from a very young age what she was destined for. Also a very private person too which I think is why she didn't do tours very often. I loved Kate Bush from the moment I heard her playing on the radio in the kitchen as a child thinking wow who is this singer she's so different to everything I've heard before. She came from a loving and very supportive family which made her into that totally unique and strong minded and driven person she was. Such dynamic and thought provoking lyrics penned from a young teenager, she was born to be the performer she was. A one off without doubt, I haven't seen anybody like her since and doubt I ever will. She's settled now and living a quiet life with her family. She deserves it, she blessed us with such beautiful music over the decades since she came from nowhere in the late 70s and dazzled us with her theatrics and ethereal voice with Wutherung Heights. She's simply brilliant, no superlatives could do her justice.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I think Gen X's PJ Harvey came pretty close, but didn't have the gentle touch that Kate had. More angry, but also brilliant.

The fashion isn't all that different, at the mo, but the cars are a blast from the past.

It's quite obvious when you hear her speak that she's very intelligent, not too different from the likes of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page or David Gilmour when interviewed. They're all prepared to share their experiences when asked pertinent questions but Kate Bush just fills a room with charisma and warmth.

I know she took inspiration from him as she credits him for 'opening the windows ' on one of her early albums. But I much prefer her music to Gabriel's solo stuff.
