Kate Bush on Bio’s Bahnhof - “Kite” & “Wuthering Heights”

February 9, 1978
Kate makes her first-ever television appearance in a disused tram depot in West Germany, for the famous Bio's Bahnhof on WDR-TV. She sings “Kite” live, backed effectively by the KT Bush Band, and “Wuthering Heights” to a backing tape. The backdrop, which is supposed to represent the Yorkshire moors, includes a volcano. Following her performance, the host, Dr. Alfred Biolek, carries on an entirely one-sided onstage conversation with Kate--in German. I have edited out the talking portions to only include Kate’s singing.

What memories!! I remember seeing this as a child and being instantly hooked by this strange, wondeful singer. So much that I wanted to become a singer myself which I did. Thank you, Kate, and also Alfred "Bio" Biolek for introducing unusual artists who were not mainstream to a German audience.
