Has there ever been a better vocalist? Her voice can be haunting, wistful, whimsical, sinister, tender etc. Some of her vocals move me to tears and her songs can be heartbreaking. Having lost both my parents, I always tear up to Cloudbusting and Breathing. She's incredible. I cannot abide the big-voiced divas from the USA. There has never been a female artist that come close to Kate and probably never will be.
I love the end,when she talks to the other scientist, it looked so natural, and believable. That is what Miss(Dame) Kate Bush does so extraordinarily. From Delboy. A fan, since 1978.❤. Can you imagine if Miss Kate Bush was an opera singer.
Arent you scared of her? What do you think shes singing about? Shes not telling anyone. She wont snitch. Ever wondered what THAT technology is? Clue 4 ya. What does she carry when she enters the officers room in the official video?
Sobering.....obviously she took the idea from the Manhattan Project but she made the mass weapon music itself, irony. It is a great idea and something that should give us pause. Her performance her is brilliant as usual.
I just had a read through his Wikipedia page, and it's interesting to find out that Kate had actually consciously decided to avoid the use of cymbals and hi-hats at times. I'd always found it quite unusual that there's not one single crash cymbal noise on the whole 'Hounds Of Love' album; In most songs you'll hear three or four during the first minute alone! :-)
@@mightyV444 Probably no coincidence that she sang backing vocals on Peter Gabriel's 3rd album where PG specified that Phil Collins and Jerry Marotta could not use cymbals. Collins and his engineer also invented the 'gated reverb' drum sound on the album, as also heard here.
@@paulstroud2647 - ...and it was a lucky coincidence according to said engineer Hugh Padgham too, yes! And you're right, it must've been Kate's collab' with PG giving her that same idea! 🙂

This was a live performance folks! This BBC program did a bang-up job on the stage design (guessing it was Kate, actually). Watch the end of the video as it pulls back then comes back to Kate - the stage is stage-lit with red backlighting, as opposed to the greens of the live performance.
Really loved the staged production. I know Kate was so good at doing this. The alternative would be a Top of the Pops performance. But Kate is so much more than that.
Oh my lord, this is breathtaking quality! Thank you so much! We had a copy for years that was fuzzier than an old sweater. Kate at her most beautiful, a truly great song, and Nigel Kennedy too? (that is a question, is that Nigel or a stand-in? I met him once and had him sign my ExIV 12" which he was delighted to see. He called me a "Bush baby" and hugged me).
I met him too at the Villa ground, he let me have his signature... In his blue jag with VILLA graffitied down the side.. So lovely and approachable.. So down to earth
@@mightyV444 Thanks for that link. What an expensive setup there on stage. Not one, but two Fairlights and that seemingly expensive Midi controller....jeez

008Invisibleman I think because she is a perfectionist and an amazing performer, she didnt/doesn't do many live performances, but when she did, *she did* !I think she'd likely refuse to lip synch, I maybe wrong,
As said it was how things were back then, here's a shocker to most ToTP was lip synced from the very first episode because the acoustics in the old church where it started were awful. Time doesn't allow for the full sound checks on such shows.
That's because in the eighties you couldn't perform music like this with this technical effort live. Technology wasn't just up for that. Listen to live performances in the eighties from music that depends heavily on technology.

Lydon is a much better singer than Bush
She is bloody gorgeous...and a great great writer...
Still incredible 2023
Kate is still the best and the most beautiful Lady of all time ❤❤❤
Wogan showcased some great songs that were overlooked ny Top of the Pops. Kate is such a one-off and unique.

They bothered to make full stage production for a one off performance. Kate is true artist.
Wogan had the best sets for her, didn't he?
Drummer is Stuart Elliott. He was the drummer of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, The alan parsons project and elite session musician.

@@mightyV444 Same for The Dreaming, she wanted to avoid the phony MOR sound that was fashionable at the time.
@@priscillaeyles3301 - Now that you've pointed it out: Yes! No cymbals on 'The Dreaming' either! Thank you for the info!
😀👍
Came here to find this. Thanks for sharin!
Still a very important tune 2023
Stunning performance and song!

Beyonce is a social experiment. Governments knew if they could sell her catawalling to the masses.
They got them..

4:32 *"And the meters are over in the red."*
Sorry, that's not live. That's the exact version of the record.
Well she is in the studio so in that sense it’s live
Really loved the staged production. I know Kate was so good at doing this. The alternative would be a Top of the Pops performance. But Kate is so much more than that.
Playback! But the stage performance of the artists was precious😂🎉❤
I've never seen Terry Wogan and Lenny Henry together before :D It makes perfect sense though.
Adorable introduction
Nice drum beat.

Sure looks like Nige at the end.
It is Nigel. You can tell by his neck boil.

So down to earth
I met him aswell this year 2023. Incredible bloke

Haaa….. she’s telling you their intentions .. and people just laugh !!!! Lol
Clearly our Tel doesn't understand the meaning of "ephemeral"
his wan expression says it all really. He looks drained of life and words to describe.
Why do most of her live tv performances sound like she was lip synching? They sound exactly I mean EXACTLY like the album versions of the songs.
008Invisibleman I think because she is a perfectionist and an amazing performer, she didnt/doesn't do many live performances, but when she did, *she did* !I think she'd likely refuse to lip synch, I maybe wrong,
they were all lip synched. as was what happened in those days. TV shows always were.
As said it was how things were back then, here's a shocker to most ToTP was lip synced from the very first episode because the acoustics in the old church where it started were awful. Time doesn't allow for the full sound checks on such shows.

@@mrtimtremmel8465 - Yes, she too is lip-syncing in this performance.
Hmm quite appropriate with 5G - WiFi - Harp and other EMF waves - 2020
Uhmmm, call it masterful musicianship? Kate is a notorious profectionist.
