@@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.
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.
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.
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....
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.
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
@@demah8655 Yes, Stuart Elliott played along with a Linn Drum Machine programmed by Kate's then-boyfriend Del Palmer, who also played bass on the original track.
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.
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.
I've been a Kate Bush fan since the early eigthies. Ron Roberts and Nightlines out of Canada on the weekends. Didn't know this song could be such a baddass rocker.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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)
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.
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
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..
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?
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.
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.
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 TH-cam. They're not morons. That's how they got here. Encourage them, don't try to shepherd them.
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.
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.
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❤️
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.
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."
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.
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
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.
Tony Franklin is a bass god - he played in the supergroup "The Firm" with Paul Rodgers, Jimmy Page, and Chris Slide. He's not a household name, but he is revered by bass players to the point that Fender has a Tony Franklin signature model fretless P-bass.
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.
He financed her demo tape in the mid-1970s, played with her on this and another live performance in 2002, and had a guitar solo on a couple of her hundreds of tracks...hardly her "driving force," ... lmao.
Backing vocals on Pull out the pin - The Dreaming 1982 Guitars on Rocket tail, Love and anger off The Sensual world in 1989 Written, composed, produced by Kate Bush, just sayin '
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!
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.
The true power of TH-cam is absolutely being revealed to us all. Art is timeless. I'm only wondering what will happen in 100 years from now. Mind blowing. Just think about "Stranger Things" reanimating this hit as the first of many future possibilities to come.
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 !!!
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.
This song has been my ringtone for a long time now I love it! It's so nice to hear a singer who actually sounds the same as the recordings of their voice ❤ I wish I had grown up back then 😢
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.
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
He's Stuart Elliott, he played with many classic British artists including Paul McCartney, Al Stewart, The Alan Parsons Project, Roger Daltrey (from The Who)
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.

Y levantan un tono a la version original, que estaba en C
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!"
Agree!
Tony Franklins hair, surpassed only by his fretless awesomweness
Tony is in the zone here...really wondrous bass playing driving the song along.
I love how she was nervous at the start then gradually gained confidence and was really enjoying herself at the end :)
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!
A 6 year Old girl (my daughter ) is absolutely obsessed with this song right now. Truly is a timeless classic
August 2023 and this is giving me goosebumps. Incredible Kate Bush and what a beautiful live version. Thank you for this music

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
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.
The Bassist is Tony Franklin, and he's absolutely killing it here!

Thank you God to have given the chance to live on earth at the same time than Kate Bush.
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.
So cool...I love this whole album
If it’s through the means of new media that we bring back soul in the world charts then so be it. Probably the best news i’ve seen in years.
Vinyl would be even cooler
You only have one? Start with 'Never For Ever' and proceed from there.
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.
Tony Franklin was one of THE 80s best bass players. Killing it here.
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)
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.
The bass player had the best 80's mullet i have ever seen! That man is a hero!
LMAO i laughed so hard
Rosie Marie Bonz Gallen I thought it was a ground hog wrapped around his neck.
thats tony franklin - awesome bass player
You need to see the saxophonist for Pink Floyd's "Delicate Sound of Thunder" tour, Scott Page. It's out of this world.
TheShortMan I know what you mean!
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 TH-cam channel now, and he has a video where he talks about this particular show.
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..
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?
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.
The bassist though!! Awesome 👌👍🏻🤘🤘
I love how Kate’s confidence and comfort level grows as the song progresses.
I think she realized at about a minute in she was absolutely murdering it
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.
She always hated the fame
Yeah yeah…… bet she hated all the money…
Give me a break..
Absolutely!
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
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 TH-cam. They're not morons. That's how they got here. Encourage them, don't try to shepherd them.
I'm 65 and the only decade I've been alive that is worth reliving is the 80's...hands down winner.
Oh please. The 90s were next level
Nothing more '80s than Gilmour s guitar !!
And the bass player’s hairstyle and clothing!
Can't believe I have never heard this song and now after Stranger Things to see Gilmour with her doing this song is AWESOME!!! RUN MAX RUN!!!
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.
I can't anyone hasn't heard this song,glad you have now.
Have you lived under a stone or what.
@@BavarianHerz They don't play this song on American radio. I heard it on an English radio station.
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Kate Bush
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.
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 TH-cam 😢
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!
not even close
My favorite version just cause its rock n roll!
It’s just you
No
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.
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
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.
she was a master craftswoman way way way ahead of her time. words fail me
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
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
Amazing, most artists would down-key a song to make it easier to sing it live. She went UP. Legend.
Tony Franklin is a bass god - he played in the supergroup "The Firm" with Paul Rodgers, Jimmy Page, and Chris Slide. He's not a household name, but he is revered by bass players to the point that Fender has a Tony Franklin signature model fretless P-bass.
I like how when she looks at her bandmates they smile back at her.
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
The real musicians, the real artists, pure quality in 1980s.
If David Gilmour is your guitarist and sings background vocals, you must have a hell of a lot of talent.
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
Rare footage of David Gilmour playing a Steinberger. Love this performance.
A superb performance....unbeatable
The driving force behind Kate Bush. The master musician David Gilmour. What a cracking performance.
He financed her demo tape in the mid-1970s, played with her on this and another live performance in 2002, and had a guitar solo on a couple of her hundreds of tracks...hardly her "driving force," ... lmao.
Backing vocals on Pull out the pin - The Dreaming 1982
Guitars on Rocket tail, Love and anger off The Sensual world in 1989
Written, composed, produced by Kate Bush, just sayin '
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!
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"
The drummer is Stuart Elliott from The Alan Parsons Project
Haluk Demiralp Yes. Been with Kate since 1977.
I liked Kate Bush, but seeing her with David Gilmore is a next level!
The true power of TH-cam is absolutely being revealed to us all. Art is timeless. I'm only wondering what will happen in 100 years from now. Mind blowing. Just think about "Stranger Things" reanimating this hit as the first of many future possibilities to come.
Love how you get to see the transformation of nervous Kate to confident Kate as she realizes how awesome the things around her are.
The stranger things show brought me here. ❤️🔥❤️love the song . U Rock Kate Bush 7/5/22.
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’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.
"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.
This song has been my ringtone for a long time now I love it! It's so nice to hear a singer who actually sounds the same as the recordings of their voice ❤
I wish I had grown up back then 😢
David Gilmour playing on a headless cigar box guitar and still sounding like David Gilmour
That's just a Steinberger headless guitar, not a cigar box one
Because woods don't matter. Never did.
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!
With David Gilmour, this song is PURE!!
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
Kate and the drummer smiling at each other at 4:22 isthe sweetest thing. He's like "We got you Kate".
She, just before that moment, exchanged smiles with David; those moments, too, made me smile in appreciation for their appreciation of each other....
Yeah!
Yeah the band looked at her like your absolutely killing it this is magic
He's Stuart Elliott, he played with many classic British artists including Paul McCartney, Al Stewart, The Alan Parsons Project, Roger Daltrey (from The Who)
Rose Stuart has played on all of Kate's albums, except for "50 Words For Snow". From 1978-2005.
Christ almighty, I apologize for the language, but this is a fucking song, right here, this is what it's all about.
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
Amazing bass line
Yup
The bass player is killing it.
