Introduced by Peter Cook. There are other versions on YT but here I've tried to improve sound and colour. Look out for Billy Idol and clips from 'The Prisoner'
Such a clever song, I used to sing "rollin' the ball, rollin' the ball...." with my friends;) I am so glad my very first vocal coach introduced me to the music of Kate Bush!!
Where did Kate come from..and where r the genesis of her songs from???? Once in a generation just isn't enough.....but beggars can't be choosers......42 years later....and none of that wonderment is lost...and you actually do realise her importance in your life is greater than ever
EXCELLENT....Why doesn't Kate release a three DVD set of all her t.v. performances etc??? For that matter, why not release huge box sets for each of the albums (one box set per album) of the quality of the Zeppelin boxes (or Kinks Village Green Super Deluxe)??? I would kill for any of those things as many others would and there would be substantial economic gain. I adore Kate Bush and her music. So.............................................

Give a top-notch singer - that sings fun tunes - an audience that appreciates some of the best stuff in the universe - you get magic. Kate shined like a star, and the audience was alive - unlike the aforementioned SNL audience below. It took decades - but America is finally waking up to brilliance.
Nope, other way round. You sang live as Union rules stated that songs must be live with live musicians ie orchestra if needed, yes lip synched came in a bit but instruments mainly live. The 90s brought in more mimed with MTV & unions broken.
@@simonmoore2380 depends on the era. In the 70s the important thing is the backing track had to be re-recorded with the musicians union staff, you couldn’t use your existing music. You could then either sing live to that or mime to vocals you recorded at the same time as the new music. When top of the pops finally got rid of the orchestra the staff all went on strike for a few weeks.
Love how she got the whole room moving toward the end of the song. I remember the first time I heard a Kate Bush song and feeling I needed to be a part of that tribe.
Kate Bush is totally amazing and led the way for Chrissie Hynde Tori Amos even Madonna theater amazing theater combined with music the way she uses her eyes it's scary it's sad it's happy it's amused in Surprise she really led the way for all those other lady she was the first
I love how this is filmed. It's like from every possible point of view you would get at various real different stages of drunk. It feels like you're almost there !
Truly a masterpiece. I'd encourage anyone that can't get into it to check out (or revisit) 'Before the Dawn' and experience those songs in that live context. So powerful.
In minute 2: 12 that boy looks like a teenage Noel Gallagher dancing sensually 😂😂 I understand that some punks like Billy Idol or John Lydon loved and respected Kate Bush, so much more she is one of my favorite singers of all time
Hugo Paz It’s impossible not to love Kate ❤️ She transcends every music genre, she’s a genius and so humble. I love that she shuns the limelight and has a real life; the singers today are so shallow and live for the fame..Kate is a rarity, a treasure
When was this recorded? She looks older than she was when this song came out, and without the dancers, etc. This is really live! Thanks for posting it.
@Joel Adamson. She looks older indeed like, let's say in 1985. Maybe the suit she was wearing during the performance made her look older. She wore such suits during the promotion of "The Dreaming" and later in her career (for example in the live (?) version of "This woman's work". 🤔🙂
Peter Cook's comedy hardly did much for me hud rambling introduction is self evident with exception to work he done with Dudley Moore...Kate Bush so fun, professional and memorable experience, those in audience was given a solid treat to her musical greatness
2:08 Look how cute she is! 😍 also I’m legit like that guy right there with his hands in his jeans dancing also doesn’t he look like the lead singer from green day? 2:46 Now that is the most cutest also sexiest smile ive ever seen from the most gorgeous lady to ever live, hope she’s living well and still doing fab 1:31 quality dancing right there
Yeah sadly these TV recordings are often discovered in bad condition due to neglect or lack of knowledge from an owner of the contents of the tapes. Tape wears overtime anyways no matter how well you look after it.
Kate Bush and The Rich Kids (Glen's band) both played the first episode, but no Generation X: nostalgiacentral.com/music/music-on-film-and-tv/revolver/
God made her the best composer ,singer and with beauty in the world. She is so unique and no one can touch her in every department. 2021
You sir are absolutely spot on with your comment!!!
Beautiful....Kate Bush is the most beautiful woman of all time.
Wrong.....Kate Bush is more beautiful than the most beautiful woman of all time......she is an angel.
You need to get out a bit more
With that I agree
Did you ever see Jennifer Jones in "Duel in the Sun"?
@@johnbonner258 just scroll on by Mr. Wonderful
Kate Bush is sooooooooooo talented.. I love her and I'm stunned with her ideas.
Great song. Kate Bush is amazing.
OK BUT WHY does that tux look so unbelievably good on her like gurl
Top shelf performance by real musicians and a brilliant Kate.
I’m sure I spotted Billy Idol among the audience.

Like Vivien Leigh meets Natalie Wood, with the soul of a poet. How can you not love her?
My God - those eyes!

The drummer is awesome. They rolled her the ball at the end!!!!
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball to me
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling) to me
They arrived at an inconvenient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself
I saw it well
I'd shut the people out of my life
So now I take the opportunities
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind
For now I realize
Everyone of us has a heaven inside
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball to me
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball to me
They open doorways that I thought were shut for good
They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu
They build up my body
Break me emotionally
It's nearly killing me but what a lovely feeling
I love the whirling of the dervishes
I love the beauty of rare innocence
You don't need no crystal ball
Don't fall for a magic wand
We humans got it all, we perform the miracles
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the...
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot.
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the...
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the...
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Absolutely Magical. timeless....

omfg Billy Idol amongst the crowd..
I forgot how much I love Kate Bush.
One of my favorites from the 80’s ! I absolutely love this song ! Great memories .
Cute live performance! The crowd looked awesome! Lots of good looking people back then, better than today's standards... 😂
A live performance, RARE for the era. Most TV spots were lip-synched.
Nope, other way round. You sang live as Union rules stated that songs must be live with live musicians ie orchestra if needed, yes lip synched came in a bit but instruments mainly live. The 90s brought in more mimed with MTV & unions broken.
@@seltaeb9691 Top of the Pops was always lip synched in the 1970s

2:38 Billy Idol is in the crowd? 😱🔥🥰
Indeed!
yes
I saw her do this song on Saturday Night Live (I believe Eric Idle hosted). The audience didn't appreciate her. Bunch of Philistines.
Their loss. Kate is too good for SNL.
at the end of the presentation, a completely different Kate Bush appears with that smile... what a good fucking artist she is!
So creative, unique and gorgeous to boot !
A mesmerising talent..
That bass.
Fantastic video quality! Thanks for uploading!
Love how she got the whole room moving toward the end of the song. I remember the first time I heard a Kate Bush song and feeling I needed to be a part of that tribe.
It's more of a cult
@@marknewbold2583 Sign me right up!
Wow! Great to see this, I heard about Revolver but have never seen this performance. Thanks so much for sharing. xx
Kate Bush is totally amazing and led the way for Chrissie Hynde Tori Amos even Madonna theater amazing theater combined with music the way she uses her eyes it's scary it's sad it's happy it's amused in Surprise she really led the way for all those other lady she was the first

omg i'm in love with the guy in 2:11 he's so cute dancing
alex pereira
so am I ❤️❤️
You can tell he was happy to be on tv. Lol
Sounds great live. Not an easy song to sing.
Her album Aerial is incredible.
I love KB but i cant stand it .. her golden years were 1978 till 1993
@@BlytheWorld1972
Disagree entirely. Arial contains the strongest material since 'The Hounds of Love'.
Truly a masterpiece. I'd encourage anyone that can't get into it to check out (or revisit) 'Before the Dawn' and experience those songs in that live context. So powerful.
Kate Bush is everything
3:51 there is a pretty good picture of that moment but from another angle
She's lovely
According to IMDB, there was only one season of Revolver. This must be from show nr. 1, broadcasted on 20th of May, 1978.
Kate is great.
Great job on the video quality, thanks!
One of the sexiest women ever
Anyone who mentions Gurdjieff in their music isnt an idiot.
John Cleese was a devotee too
They are a pretentious idiot
@@marknewbold2583 Yea its literary flexing, but pretentious is a bit harsh!
Haha I just read the description, wow billy idol, that is Soooooo cool!!!!!!!! Lol
Unique kate ❤️
Im in love...
The great Peter Cook, is that Billy Idol in the audience?
yes he is awe of her beauty and talent
FAB.
It never got any better than early Kate Bush.
That's what i keep saying x
wow just found this its amazing
I truly fear (but also secretly hope?) Broadway will do a Kate Bush jukebox musical now. (Pray they respect her.)
Ha, Billy Idol in the audience
Kate. My first love
Kate is very beatiful girl , beatiful song writer in the world
Class!
Beautiful!❤️❤️❤️😊😊❤️
Love when Kate goes Babooshka wide eyed
I remember watching this when it was on think it was late at night
2.38 in a young Billy Idol in the audience
So friggin hot and pretty with crazy eyes and the tux
In minute 2: 12 that boy looks like a teenage Noel Gallagher dancing sensually 😂😂 I understand that some punks like Billy Idol or John Lydon loved and respected Kate Bush, so much more she is one of my favorite singers of all time

Billy Idol was in the crowd.
Lmao that boy might be noel gallagher ☠️
Revolver. Yes, it was bloody good. And live performances. Think Rod Stewart once guested?
The men are clearly superfluous here in the shade of true genius
Revolver had a lot of 'punk' type act on, eg Buzzcocks and The Motors etc. I had no idea Kate performed on this show!
brad wakey, this song was bizarre enough to feature on the show.
All the audience dancers ,were... Let's say unusual XD, but, Kate's performance was outstanding
3lisa you should listen to this song called " I was going to st Claire"
Its awesome - she isnt even trying hard!
She knew how to choose a good bass player. Del Palmer on this video and Tony Franklin on running up that hill.
And Glen Matlock is with Billy Idol, smiling along - did Glen perform that day?
So Very good So i love song So i love performance So i love Kate Bush Forever 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌❤️💖🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌✨✨✨ !!!
Was that billy idle in the audience 😮
Yes in hid Generation X days. With ex Sex Pistol Glen Matlock
Thanks, thanks, thanks! (And ninight!)
Fuckin great. Bush and band at their best
Te adoro,Katy Bailo! Oh! Oh! Ohoh! Oooo!!! Ah!💕
2:11 LOL Trollman hilarious
Kate is cute!
Where I can find the instrumental track for this beautiful song? I wish to make a cover. Thank you for sharing this video!! Have a nice day 😇
Hey! If it isn't too late for that, maybe I can try recreating it myself and sending you?
When was this recorded? She looks older than she was when this song came out, and without the dancers, etc. This is really live! Thanks for posting it.
That's airbrushing for you
late 70s
1978, which is the same year that the song came out. She was 20 at the time.
@Joel Adamson. She looks older indeed like, let's say in 1985. Maybe the suit she was wearing during the performance made her look older. She wore such suits during the promotion of "The Dreaming" and later in her career (for example in the live (?) version of "This woman's work". 🤔🙂

Withering tights?! Come on man, it was amusing
Billy Idol in the audience at 2:30 in trying to act all cool and nonchalant. Probably went through a lot of chewing gum that night.
Is that, is that billy idol at 2:39????????? 😱
Yes with Generation X
+Deici De La Rocha yes
Yes it is Billy Idol from Generation X and Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols with the cap on!
course not.eh,eh.
Yep
Kate Bush is God..
sou fã a muitos anos.
eu tbm!!!!
Stupid introduction. Lovely and so talented Kate! 👍❤️
2:08 Look how cute she is! 😍 also I’m legit like that guy right there with his hands in his jeans dancing also doesn’t he look like the lead singer from green day?
2:46 Now that is the most cutest also sexiest smile ive ever seen from the most gorgeous lady to ever live, hope she’s living well and still doing fab
1:31 quality dancing right there
I love the condition of her hair in this vid. It's so shiny.
❤️🔮
I think that's Glen Matlock standing in front of Billy.
It certainly is they knew she was a class act too Rotten was a massive fan too
"2:10" Sexuality man XD
This is a Ska like version of the song.
Em que ano foi essa apresentação?
striking fantastic even (or 'cause) it's been more than 35 years ago! is this Mr. Karn on bass?
No
The audio sounds like it's playing on warped vinyl.
Yes
Yeah sadly these TV recordings are often discovered in bad condition due to neglect or lack of knowledge from an owner of the contents of the tapes. Tape wears overtime anyways no matter how well you look after it.
Personaggio lei 💕💕💕a volte mi chiedo perché mai non sono nata inglese
2.55 in Billy Idol
I loved Peter Cook.........not any more....
I Fucking Love You Kate Bush
Was that Billy Idol chewing gum & looking gorgeous?
Yes with Glen Matlock too
It is strange to see people with feathered hair disco dancing to this song........I love this video though.
2:39 cute
3:14 also cute
Did the Sex Pistols and Billy Idol performed on that day also?
Kate Bush and The Rich Kids (Glen's band) both played the first episode, but no Generation X: nostalgiacentral.com/music/music-on-film-and-tv/revolver/
