@@nafvol5053 I disagree. Youngsters into rock music will come across Pink Floyd soon into their discovery of past legends. It’s not like Floyd was ever niche or “hidden.” On Spotify, for example, Pink Floyd has more monthly listeners than Hendrix and The Doors combined and is just under the Stones by a few million.
He discovered her and helped her get her big break. I believe the way Kate's smiling that she really felt close to David and appreciative of his help. Long live, Kate. Love her so much.
Not everybody knows that David Gilmour discovered Kate Bush when she was like 15 years old and promoted her talent and helped to get her career launched. Two legends
Kate Bush - Vocals David Gilmour - Guitar, Vocals Tony Franklin - Bass, Vocals Stuart Elliot - Drums Kevin McAlea - Keyboards Fun fact, Kevin McAlea wrote the English lyrics to Nena's 99 Luftballons..
This is so 80s badass. Gilmour with his long hair, long black coat, and headless Steinberger guitar. Kate shaking her shoulders during the intro knowing that they are going to slay. The fantastic bass. Just perfect 80s.
Her demos were given to Gilmour through a mutual friend( Ricky Hopper publicist at Transatlantic record and friend with Kate's brother John)..... Gilmour invited her in his to record 3 with professionals musicians in his studio... Gilmour did a favor to a friend, he did not find or discover her.... And by the way Bush is responsible of her own success....
@@isobeljames1328 yes, and I was lucky enough to see Kate once in concert many years ago in London but not the recent one, she hasn’t done many live concerts, and I’m a huge fan. And of course a huge Floyd fan. I went to many secret police man’s balls as well but not this one which is so annoying! And I believe that EMI waited two years for her to develop her talent and release her first album. You wouldn’t get that now.
The new industry does not require art to achieve max profits. No temperament, no rights to the living. The argument to breach, as Prince and Michael had. Just total bare leverage. And they will come.
Only David Gilmore could get her to actually perform live instead of lip syncing performances due to her fear of performing live. She was amazing and David's guitar playing was bad ass! He also did backing vocals on pull out the pin from the Dreaming and other things on other albums. Thank you David for finding one of my favorite artist of all time and seeing what kind of talent she has!
@@demah8655 Yes, Stuart Elliott played along with a Linn Drum Machine programmed by Kate's then-boyfriend (and now sadly deceased) Del Palmer, who also played bass on the original track.
Dead on, damn straight. Would have been a cool side project for Kate. I'd love to hear them do some Dark Side of the Moon and even some The Wall stuff with Kate on vocals. Ahh, what could have been.
@@danbrockettDOP Not only that but in reality it probably could of benefitted Gilmour in the long run as Waters had already left Pink Floyd & this was done during the A Momentary Lapse of Reason period which unfortunately wasn’t a favorite among fans (Personally the album is alright to me). Gilmour could of postponed Pink Floyd in favor of the supergroup and the rest could of been history.
Kate looks like she's not so sure about this at the start but by the end she's having a blast. The band is just crushing it! Tony Franklin is the MVP here. You'd swear there were two bass players at times.
that just goes to show how great david gilmour is. he just makes everyone around him better. if pink floyd had joe somethington on guitars, after syd left, it wouldn't have made it
There is good rule: if you see on stage with David Gilmour some person you don't know, try to find out who it is. Chances are you'll discover one more legendary musician with hours of good music to listen.
I think, you must have been a legend too, to be on the stage with David Gilmore. Kate is underestimated, but I can assure you, she did a lot in the 80ies - outside of every box.
Was probably thinking of her weigh gain. I've never seen her so heavy looking. unless it's the clothes. I have live concerts of hers. She's much slimmer. All the jazz dancing and such. Great artist.
Kate doing a live performance is as rare as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Earth, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter and Pluto lining up together. But to perform live WITH David Gilmour..... a heavenly miracle.
Well, Gilmour did discover her when she was 13 and helped her break into the music business. They've been good friends for a long time. You can tell there's a lot of trust there on stage.
@@seyfert12345 yes you are right. And I said it would be as rare as that, but i did not say it would be impossible.... 😁. Kate is now number one around the globe with RUTH. An even rare occurance, I would think.
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!
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.
My daughter asked me if I had ever heard this song....I went and pulled out my Kate Bush cd I bought in the late 80's and she tripped out. Glad the youth are discovering the great ol jams....even if it's through a tv series.
I heard this song for the first time on the radio like a month ago and when I watched that episode I went, 'oh that's that song I liked!' God that was such a great scene, probably one of the best of the series.
Tony Franklin's bass runs are absolutely beautiful here. The root notes are driving the song so hard and then the runs come in and just add that little extra. Gilmore's guitar sounds amazing and Kate is absolutely killing the vocals, you can see her confidence grow from the start and she just blooms.
I love this interpretation. The lead guitar replacing the synthesized "violin", the rapid base is frickin awesome, and the male back up vocals is a nice change from the female backups on the track. Of course, Kate Bush absolutely crushes it.
Same - I always wrote her off because of that high voice and some of her avant garde videos. One day I saw the Dream of Sheep video because it was in my suggested videos, and it changed my entire perspective. Now I see the genius in her music.
It’s rare for a live version to so accurately do a studio track justice. I mean live versions can be great in their own right or in a different way, but this actually sounds like the studio version and not watered down in any way. It just kicks arse.
In this world of social media has beens, and worn out auto tune garbage, it’s so refreshing to see someone I’ve loved for years get the recognition she deserves!! Nailed it!!
every singer/performer used to dream of having such band in the backround flying them up to peak performance, this was literally the dream of every performer back in the day, OFC they all were musicians including the ones who only sang, and then came "american idol" & the rest is, well, rest ...
I agree that it's refreshing for her to get the recognition she deserves but if your impression of music these days is all "social media has beens, and worn out auto tune garbage", that's on you - it's easier than ever to find good music and there's more of it being made now than there ever has been
@@smarroy Not even close to this level come on now, not even remotely close, there is only one tears for fears, only one george michael, only one kate bush, only one prince, only one freddie mercury, it all ended. Today it is pathetic.
@@michelleper5065 isn't it interesting that everyone thinks the best music ever was the music that came out when they were a teenager? or could it be that most people stop seeking out new music when they hit 25 or so, and refuse to admit they're not cool anymore when a new generation of artists comes along that they don't get
Ça fait plaisir de revoir et de réécouter ces pointures en ces temps médiocres ! On soulignera le jeu de basse absolument exceptionnel derrière tout cela :o)
Gilmour was the guy who discovered Kate Bush was immensely talented and helped her record a demo to present to record labels. This is the two of them coming full circle. So glad there is footage of this
I start thinking she might very well be the best female pop/rock musician in history of modern music, it was always close between her and Cyndi lauper, Tina turner, Whitney houston and few others, but she is really having edge over them, with time she is surpassing them, still very close between her and Cyndi but she has the edge.
@@Michael-mm3fm i said she was having the edge due to her writing her own stuff, but whitney had better voice and tina had better sense of the market and was more of a libero type performer... very hard to win against rod stewart and tina.. they were incredible.. kate wins only because she wrote her own music.
Tony Frankilin is a bit of an unsung hero on this video. Superb bass playing and he even managed to keep that strange thing on his head from falling off.
oh god, this version is incredible! the whole band brings magic on this one. you can see on their faces that they can feel something special is happening.
Don't forget the pianist and the drummer they all went all killed it and fun fact the drummer is a good friend of Kate Bush they had worked on one of her first albums
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.
I’ve never seen or heard this version……..where the hell have I been………it’s unbelievable! I’ve got goosebumps from the drums and bass ……….without even thinking of the unmistakable Dave and Kate.
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?
Ok Kids, this is Kate Bush, one of the most profound female voices of the 1980's. The guy with funny small guitar is David Gilmour, member of the best band ever created 'Pink Floyd', and subsequent solo artist, both roles prominent from the 60's, 70's 80's 90's 2000's 2010's and still today in the 2020's. If you love this song from stranger things, go you tube her other songs, and if you like seeing and hearing the best gitarist on earth, check out pink floyd and david gilmour. Try 'dont give up' kate bush and peter gabriel. Or 'comfortably numb' by pink floyd
Pink Floyd not only has one of the best guitarists ever (David Gilmour), but also has the best two albums of all time, The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall, also has Roger Waters, that has a bunch of talent for songwriting, composing music, playing bass and guitar. Has Richard Wright (totally underrated guy), Nick Mason, one of the best drummers of his generation, and (my favorite) Syd Barrett, one the founding members of Pink Floyd, he was a genius that gave Pink Floyd its touch and made it what it was, sadly he was a huge drug addict.
@@michelleper5065 yes, my mistake, you are correct.. I was just giving context to the kids who love her because of that tv show her song was on. Kate is legendary. Thats not disputed. 😊
If I'm ever this condescending towards young people just discovering new music I'm gonna take along walk off a short pier. Try "isn't this song amazing? I remember how it made me feel to hear it for the first time, and I'm jealous of all of you who are getting to experience it just now. keep seeking out music that makes you feel the way this made you feel" You don't have to tell people who Pink Floyd is, or to look for Kate Bush on RUclips. They're not morons. That's how they got here. Encourage them, don't try to shepherd them.
Patrick She didn't play often with Dave, but Stuart Elliott had been her drummer since 1978. Edit: August '77 actually, when the first album was recorded. Then all albums up to and including "Aerial" 2005.
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.
First price for best comment, but you have to share with "A showcase of three incredible talents - David Gilmour, Kate Bush, and that other guy's hairdresser."
The Bassist and the Drummer are obvious talents, because they make it breathe with the life Kate's Music deserves. Thanks to Gilmour for making sure our world didn't miss her vision.
I Love to see how Kate Bush communicates with the band with smiles. With David Gilmour first and then with the drummer. It is like: are we doing good? and the smile answers her. Love it.
I love Floyd .... I absolutely love Kate Bush, i do not know how i have missed this absolute masterclass in sounds ........ Brilliant and thank you to all who made this possible x
I would like to thank all those who came to make this song so great. Kate Bush on vocals , David Gilmore a true legend together made this a timeless classic. My grandson who is 9 knows this song because of Stranger things and was surprised that I knew it..
My one and only trip to London was the weekend of this concert. My friend and I bought scalped balcony tickets the day of the show. Loved every minute!
her band's got her back , I saw every glance and smile, so awesome...and she knows it, those guys are family! ! I love it all about this song and video !!!
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❤️
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
I am so happy you got to see her live - especially with the encore of Cloudbusting. I've got the Before the Dawn concert on CD. Love how she shows appreciation for the crowd - giving her a standing ovation. She knows she's there for them - class act.
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.
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.
Such an amazing performance. It had me in tears to see such a powerhouse of chemistry. I wish this group of amazing individuals would have done more together
I really love this rock version of the song, it sounds amazing! Kate sounds great and she looks so happy, and David Gilmour is just doing his thing and he must feel like a proud dad thinking about how far she's come since they first met! The way they look at each other and smiles is so sweet. I'm so glad they did this, it's the only live performance of the song.
.. She knew she absolutely nailed it .. she's so humble still from her body language. Holding out till the very end . She took the time to acknowledge each musician whith a warm smile . What an amazing experience it had to have been .
At 2:57 I got some serious goosebumps. Always loved this song. So glad it's finally getting the attention it deserved decades ago. #1 on the charts in the UK 37 years later.
I think this version adds that rock element that was there but was under played. Now it has an edge and a good edge at that, a fantastic musical and vocal performance l thank Kate and David for this brilliant live version.
Wow the only real live clip of the song out there, performed without backing. Its fucking incredible. Can someone please ask this woman to tour at least once lol? We need her
@@22448824 I don't think you understand the dimension of Kate Bush. I can't either. I just let myself be mesmerized by her. You should try it and be less bitter about it.
Late to the party but this is quickly becoming my go to video for this song which has been haunting me for the past few days. It was off my radar for so many years, and now it's doing the equivalent of crashing on my couch and eating all my snacks.
A showcase of three incredible talents - David Gilmour, Kate Bush, and that other guy's hairdresser.

This is the best version of this song, David and Tony added so much value. Sometimes overkill is the correct amount of kill.
It's my 2nd favourite type of kill.
I'm pinching that line! Sometimes overkill off the correct amount of kill!
Fits right with my default position of 'when in doubt, overdo it'
I wasn't a fan of this when it came out but, add Tony and David and now it's a very good song.

Totally agree. I prefer this version to the original
I think that effect on the original is a Casio synth guitar effect. Not strings
The male vocals are great for the theme of the song - it's like the guys are saying "Yes, we *DO* want to know how it feels!"

lucky you some have STILL not discovered her
AB, you have some dam fine taste in music, Hell there's hope for humanity yet!
I heard Wuthering Heights when I was about 12. I was amazed by it. Magic song.
You can really see Kate get more confident and comfortable as the song goes on
When a singer sounds as good live as in the studio, you know this is the real deal.
This!
They had to be. No autotune to cover you up back then!
I love how she was nervous at the start then gradually gained confidence and was really enjoying herself at the end :)

It’s rare for a live version to so accurately do a studio track justice. I mean live versions can be great in their own right or in a different way, but this actually sounds like the studio version and not watered down in any way. It just kicks arse.
Well.
I think this is what a hard rockin' Kate Bush band would have been.
Heaven 😍
There are times when the live version is better than the studio one.
I see Gary Numan's "Joy circuit" best example.
Well said. It comes from a time when the radio was filled with great musicians, and if you wanted great music, you needed great musicians to play it.
It appears they’re swapping the synth lead parts for guitar in this version. And it sounds way more dynamic.
I hate other peoples screams
In this world of social media has beens, and worn out auto tune garbage, it’s so refreshing to see someone I’ve loved for years get the recognition she deserves!! Nailed it!!
every singer/performer used to dream of having such band in the backround flying them up to peak performance, this was literally the dream of every performer back in the day, OFC they all were musicians including the ones who only sang,
and then came "american idol" & the rest is, well, rest ...
I agree that it's refreshing for her to get the recognition she deserves but if your impression of music these days is all "social media has beens, and worn out auto tune garbage", that's on you - it's easier than ever to find good music and there's more of it being made now than there ever has been
@@smarroy Not even close to this level come on now, not even remotely close, there is only one tears for fears, only one george michael, only one kate bush, only one prince, only one freddie mercury, it all ended. Today it is pathetic.
@@michelleper5065 isn't it interesting that everyone thinks the best music ever was the music that came out when they were a teenager? or could it be that most people stop seeking out new music when they hit 25 or so, and refuse to admit they're not cool anymore when a new generation of artists comes along that they don't get
Everybody I speak to just doesn't get Kate Bush, so I'm really pleased to prove at last what a fabulous talent she is.
Ça fait plaisir de revoir et de réécouter ces pointures en ces temps médiocres ! On soulignera le jeu de basse absolument exceptionnel derrière tout cela :o)
A 6 year Old girl (my daughter ) is absolutely obsessed with this song right now. Truly is a timeless classic
Gilmour was the guy who discovered Kate Bush was immensely talented and helped her record a demo to present to record labels. This is the two of them coming full circle. So glad there is footage of this
I start thinking she might very well be the best female pop/rock musician in history of modern music, it was always close between her and Cyndi lauper, Tina turner, Whitney houston and few others, but she is really having edge over them, with time she is surpassing them, still very close between her and Cyndi but she has the edge.
Record companies were then riding the Gravy Train. Any tape Gilmour presented , they would treat with special care. So, Kate Bush was born.
@@ec03nd2 As they should, i wish it remained this way then you would have little more kates and much less britneys, eh? God have mercy.
@@michelleper5065 interesting selection, did Houston or Turner write their own stuff? No. Bush is on a separate planet.
@@Michael-mm3fm i said she was having the edge due to her writing her own stuff, but whitney had better voice and tina had better sense of the market and was more of a libero type performer... very hard to win against rod stewart and tina.. they were incredible.. kate wins only because she wrote her own music.
This needs to be remastered. It is so wonderful!
I Agree
Tony Frankilin is a bit of an unsung hero on this video. Superb bass playing and he even managed to keep that strange thing on his head from falling off.
The Bassist is Tony Franklin, and he's absolutely killing it here!
Blue Murder
Thank you!!!
What the actual perfection??!! How am I only seeing this now??!!
oh god, this version is incredible! the whole band brings magic on this one. you can see on their faces that they can feel something special is happening.
Absolutely beautiful exactly U can see at the end in there eyes
Legendary performance from Kate, David and the whole band! Tony Franklin is phenomenal!
Don't forget the pianist and the drummer they all went all killed it and fun fact the drummer is a good friend of Kate Bush they had worked on one of her first albums
@@adammoore652 Yep. Stuart Elliott played from "The Kick Inside"1978 to "Aerial" 2005.
Tony has a RUclips channel now, and he has a video where he talks about this particular show.
Who here is thankful to have grown up with this in real time ...
Love how you get to see the transformation of nervous Kate to confident Kate as she realizes how awesome the things around her are.
I have tears in my eyes because THAT was bloody MEGA.. Kate is a Goddess and with a legend like Gilmour and awesome backing this has made my day!
And increadibly everyone is listening to this brilliant song by Kate again today :)
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.
Always tears with this song. Music is awesom ❤️🦋🔥
Nova Chap Dave also plays on "Rocket's Tail" and "Love and Anger". Provided backing vocals for "Pull Out the Pin"
I’ve never seen or heard this version……..where the hell have I been………it’s unbelievable! I’ve got goosebumps from the drums and bass ……….without even thinking of the unmistakable Dave and Kate.
Tony is in the zone here...really wondrous bass playing driving the song along.
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?
Ok Kids, this is Kate Bush, one of the most profound female voices of the 1980's.
The guy with funny small guitar is David Gilmour, member of the best band ever created 'Pink Floyd', and subsequent solo artist, both roles prominent from the 60's, 70's 80's 90's 2000's 2010's and still today in the 2020's. If you love this song from stranger things, go you tube her other songs, and if you like seeing and hearing the best gitarist on earth, check out pink floyd and david gilmour.
Try 'dont give up' kate bush and peter gabriel.
Or 'comfortably numb' by pink floyd
Check out "Hey, Hey Rise Up" with PF providing music. David Gilmour has resurfaced in 2022 as well! What are those odds?
Pink Floyd not only has one of the best guitarists ever (David Gilmour), but also has the best two albums of all time, The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall, also has Roger Waters, that has a bunch of talent for songwriting, composing music, playing bass and guitar. Has Richard Wright (totally underrated guy), Nick Mason, one of the best drummers of his generation, and (my favorite) Syd Barrett, one the founding members of Pink Floyd, he was a genius that gave Pink Floyd its touch and made it what it was, sadly he was a huge drug addict.
80's?
of all times and spaces...
She is Legendary.
@@michelleper5065 yes, my mistake, you are correct.. I was just giving context to the kids who love her because of that tv show her song was on. Kate is legendary. Thats not disputed. 😊
If I'm ever this condescending towards young people just discovering new music I'm gonna take along walk off a short pier. Try "isn't this song amazing? I remember how it made me feel to hear it for the first time, and I'm jealous of all of you who are getting to experience it just now. keep seeking out music that makes you feel the way this made you feel"
You don't have to tell people who Pink Floyd is, or to look for Kate Bush on RUclips. They're not morons. That's how they got here. Encourage them, don't try to shepherd them.
August 2023 and this is giving me goosebumps. Incredible Kate Bush and what a beautiful live version. Thank you for this music
The look Kate gives Gilmour at 3:46and at the drummer at 4:19it’s like, “yep, we’ve cracked this, it’s perfect” and it was😎
Patrick She didn't play often with Dave, but Stuart Elliott had been her drummer since 1978. Edit: August '77 actually, when the first album was recorded. Then all albums up to and including "Aerial" 2005.
Exactly! And see her smiling and looking so relaxed compared to how she was earlier on
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this over the years. She really is incredible ❤️
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.
That Gilmour chap looks like a very promising young musician. I hope he sticks with it.
Laugh my arse off that’s classic
Wait, what?
First price for best comment, but you have to share with "A showcase of three incredible talents - David Gilmour, Kate Bush, and that other guy's hairdresser."
Nah, flash in the pan bloke.
@Rodent's Revenge [MGTOW] He should treat it better too. He broke the head of the guitar
With David Gilmour, this song is PURE!!
Tony Franklin seriously rocking his own bass line on this!
Love the transcriptions of all instruments in this version. The guitar doin angular synth lines is brilliant. Tony bringing the funk is so fun too!
The bass player is killing it.
Christ almighty, I apologize for the language, but this is a fucking song, right here, this is what it's all about.
Tony Franklin was one of THE 80s best bass players. Killing it here.
The Bassist and the Drummer are obvious talents, because they make it breathe with the life Kate's Music deserves. Thanks to Gilmour for making sure our world didn't miss her vision.
Brian Marten Stuart Elliott. Kate's drummer since 1977.
I Love to see how Kate Bush communicates with the band with smiles. With David Gilmour first and then with the drummer. It is like: are we doing good? and the smile answers her. Love it.
Yeah and also, it helps signal the other band members the song is ending, she looks first at the bassist and then the drummer
She starts to relax at around 3:50 mark when Gilmour makes eyes contact and smiles
Rare footage of David Gilmour playing a Steinberger. Love this performance.
Notwithstanding, one hell of a song bravo
Thank you God to have given the chance to live on earth at the same time than Kate Bush.
I like how when she looks at her bandmates they smile back at her.
I had no idea till today that David Gillmore discovered her when she was 13, and by 19 she wrote over 40 songs.
Amazing.
She was 15 and when he got her with producers and engineers, she already had over 40 songs. At 15.
I love Floyd .... I absolutely love Kate Bush, i do not know how i have missed this absolute masterclass in sounds ........ Brilliant and thank you to all who made this possible x
I would like to thank all those who came to make this song so great. Kate Bush on vocals , David Gilmore a true legend together made this a timeless classic. My grandson who is 9 knows this song because of Stranger things and was surprised that I knew it..
Three legends are in this video. Tony Franklin on bass is an absolute God
You forgot Stuart Elliott the drummer who played with top profile artists
My one and only trip to London was the weekend of this concert. My friend and I bought scalped balcony tickets the day of the show. Loved every minute!
her band's got her back , I saw every glance and smile, so awesome...and she knows it, those guys are family! ! I love it all about this song and video !!!
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❤️
I wish I could’ve seen her SNL performances but they’re nowhere to be found on RUclips 😢
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
Have you ever heard "Something Good", by Utah Saints? It's from the early 90's and it samples "Cloudbusting", kind of a remix in a way.
@@matthewwoelfle5533 I remeber Something Good from when it came out 1992, but didn't know that was a Kate Bush sample.
Thanks for your story!
Wow what a memory! I’m going to buy a few more Kate CDs.
I am so happy you got to see her live - especially with the encore of Cloudbusting. I've got the Before the Dawn concert on CD. Love how she shows appreciation for the crowd - giving her a standing ovation. She knows she's there for them - class act.
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.
shes also pathologically shy
@@hansolo2121 dude she's not lip syncing at all
Maybe she knows she's dogshit at singing
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.
I liked Kate Bush, but seeing her with David Gilmore is a next level!
Such an amazing performance. It had me in tears to see such a powerhouse of chemistry. I wish this group of amazing individuals would have done more together
"I don't play live but I'll come along to this charity gig to show support and absolutely fucking nail this classic for you."
PRS8124 She did the same thing at the Prince's Trust concert, with "The Wedding List" in 1982.
Franklin's bass work elevates this piece significantly.
Tony is killing it! So refreshing to hear this version. Lovely.
how can i like this a million times?
I really love this rock version of the song, it sounds amazing! Kate sounds great and she looks so happy, and David Gilmour is just doing his thing and he must feel like a proud dad thinking about how far she's come since they first met! The way they look at each other and smiles is so sweet. I'm so glad they did this, it's the only live performance of the song.
..
She knew she absolutely nailed it .. she's so humble still from her body language. Holding out till the very end . She took the time to acknowledge each musician whith a warm smile . What an amazing experience it had to have been .
What a gorgeous voice she has
Tony Franklin absolutely KILLS on the bass on this. Next year he was off to the Firm with Jimmy Page and Paul Rogers. (Rodgers?).
As if the song isn't legendary enough, David Gilmour's accompaniment makes this punch a hole in the sky.
And the mullet-wearing bass player, he defo did his part
When the gods get together, something like this happens..... I've got goosebumps, this is outstanding
Well said
Me too
well said.
pure heaven!!!
Fu*K yeah there the true gods of good music!
If David Gilmour is your guitarist and sings background vocals, you must have a hell of a lot of talent.
A superb performance....unbeatable
Awesome ..stranger things got me onto this song and to see my hero Dave Gilmore doing it makes it even better
@pollockdonald Gilmour actually discovered Kate Bush and brought her to the wider audience. Pretty cool!
same for me. Incredible
At 2:57 I got some serious goosebumps. Always loved this song. So glad it's finally getting the attention it deserved decades ago. #1 on the charts in the UK 37 years later.
Yeah that middle eight takes it up a gear brilliantly
I think this version adds that rock element that was there but was under played. Now it has an edge and a good edge at that, a fantastic musical and vocal performance l thank Kate and David for this brilliant live version.
Nothing more '80s than Gilmour s guitar !!
And the bass player’s hairstyle and clothing!
Wow the only real live clip of the song out there, performed without backing. Its fucking incredible. Can someone please ask this woman to tour at least once lol? We need her
I suggest you look up the definition of the word incredible. This is just a couple of pop singers singing a song.
@@22448824
Difficult to believe; extraordinary?
I couldn't do anything these 2 are doing so yeah to me; it's incredible too.
@@22448824 incredible doesnt do kate justice shes not a pop singer she is a lyrical artistical genius her kind is long extinct to fame hype and views
@@22448824 I don't think you understand the dimension of Kate Bush. I can't either. I just let myself be mesmerized by her. You should try it and be less bitter about it.
@@22448824 This is much better than incredible, this is PERFECTION!
This is pretty badass. Kate Bush is amazing...
Shie is so sweet, and nice, just fantastici always from a Brazilian fan...
Forever the Grand Lady of Rock Music. So beautiful!
Late to the party but this is quickly becoming my go to video for this song which has been haunting me for the past few days. It was off my radar for so many years, and now it's doing the equivalent of crashing on my couch and eating all my snacks.
