She was an absolute joy to work with in every aspect, and the band too. I did the on stage sound engineering and developed the headset mic for her. (1979) Never has an artist or crew put so much effort and dedication into a tour.... and i did many.
Hey Martin. I would love the chance to work with her. When I was a kid the first record I ever bought was one of hers. Led me to a life time of real creative music with other bands/artists.
Minute 23, "You have to believe in yourself. You can't just accept what other people say all the time otherwise you become them, not yourself." A beautiful sentiment.
Not a pop star, but an artist through and through. Grounded, honest, modest and focussed on her work. Both of her brothers seem grounded, solid people too. The product of quality parents.
Thank goodness for TH-cam, this is a historic document to see Kate performing in concert. The whole family are well-rounded and intelligent people, and Kate herself is lev el headed and mature. A very rare glimpse into the legend.
Let's not look at the world through rose tinted spectacles. The 70s had more than their fair share of nasty people - just look at how prominent football hooliganism and the National Front were. The people you see here are nice because they're nice people - not because the 70s was some kind of golden era for niceness, because it wasn't at all.
After watching so many KB interviews, my takeaway is her honesty. She doesn’t take offense at any questions and just responds from the heart. Just lovely.
23:28 ‘You have to believe in yourself. You can’t just accept what other people say all the time, otherwise you become them and not yourself.’ A highly valuable and ever relevant wisdom.
This is nuts. Imagine being 20 years old and having this sort of responsibility on your hands. She was prepared to take it all on somehow, and then to continue doing it for years to come. How amazing is that?
Paddy has had a huge imput and impact on Kate's music over the years! Let's give one for Paddy, an unsung hero in the wonderful world of Kate Bush music! ( :
Just found this on youtube. I was at the Sunderland Empire Theatre in April 1979 as a 15 year old. I had never seen and have never seen to this day any performance as brilliant as Kate Bush.
She came from a very musical and gifted family which really grounded her and she knew from a very young age what she was destined for. Also a very private person too which I think is why she didn't do tours very often. I loved Kate Bush from the moment I heard her playing on the radio in the kitchen as a child thinking wow who is this singer she's so different to everything I've heard before. She came from a loving and very supportive family which made her into that totally unique and strong minded and driven person she was. Such dynamic and thought provoking lyrics penned from a young teenager, she was born to be the performer she was. A one off without doubt, I haven't seen anybody like her since and doubt I ever will. She's settled now and living a quiet life with her family. She deserves it, she blessed us with such beautiful music over the decades since she came from nowhere in the late 70s and dazzled us with her theatrics and ethereal voice with Wutherung Heights. She's simply brilliant, no superlatives could do her justice.
How could a girl that young come up with music like this???? "You give me life, please don't let me go, you crush the lily in my soul..." How can anyone not be completely smitten and mesmerized? Her music and vocal presence comes across as though it has emerged right from the subconscious level of dreams into the real world. HOW?????
@ROOTSCONTRA Not sure what song you are talking about, not sure why you would be watching a doc about her first tour in 1978 if you feel so much loathing, not sure you are aware of the themes she has fearlessly tackled, not sure if you have ever heard The Ninth Wave or Pull out the Pin, Breathing, or Night of the Swallow. You should also let David Gilmour, Elton John, Prince, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton, and two thirds of the music artists of the last three decades that they are all wrong. OR.... You could, to take a quote from one of Kate's scariest songs: "With my ego in my gut My babbling mouth Would wash it up, Now I've started learning how.... I keep it shut."
What can one say about Kate Bush! I was at that first night in Liverpool so many years ago and it was just a privilege to see her perform live, she is and always will be a true British icon. J
It's strange. Her music still sounds so fresh and amazing, it could have been made yesterday. But when you watch this doco, and see the ancient cars and fashions etc., you realise how long ago it really was.
The music sounds extremely dated, and exactly like the music of 1979.. if you think this sounds remotely contemporary you're not listening to any new artists..
@@mikeborrelli193 She's number 39 in the world on Spotify and is now in the Top 5 on the Billboard charts..think about your comment again because she is technically mainstream once more.
One of only 4 musicians (bands) to have 8 albums or more in the UK top 40 simultaneously. Elvis when he passed, Bowie when he passed, The Beatles when their catalogue was release on ITunes and Kate Bush when she announced her first concerts in 35 years.
@@nellies cool thank you .thats pritty cool .hay i love swedish things as well iv never been there but would love to one day .i have my own truck in oz and its a scania i love it is old but a goody there are lots of good music come out of your country thanks for that .you sound like a lovely girl with a good heart .ok thanks again have a good day be safe
There would never be a Kate Bush in today's music industry. People with real character, profound idiosyncrasies, pure natural talent, incredible uniqueness, insight and intelligence, and without all that socio-political baggage that plagues the modern world, belong to another era, and will never be seen again, except in these old video archives. I don't just feel like I've lost the most important part of myself, it's like we've lost the entire human race, and all that's left is a shadow.
Having seen Kate Bush twice at the London Palladium I might have agreed. However, try this young lady who I have also seen more than once. Different style but similar vibe. th-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/w-d-xo.html
Such a humble and sweet person. Six years later (1985) Kate released one of the best albums of all time, "Hounds of Love". A true Masterpiece of music. I love the first three tracks, the hits if you will. But tracks 4 to 12 still give me chills. Kate made an album that sounded unlike any music that had been made before. Not many artists can say that.
I was able to get tickets for two consecutive nights and flew from San Francisco to London to see her residency a few years ago. The Ninth Wave was absolutely crushing, heart-tearing, astonishing.
I'm 58 and Silver Center, I love to look on the face of young people when they hear her for the first time It's a combination of wonderment and space exploration like you're stepping onto a new world
A talent. She was at her prime when the public was still thinking independently - a time when the public knew and recognised real talent. Wish those times will come back.
The greatest female artist in living memory, creative, artistic, original, talented, gifted and musically brilliant. No one comes anywhere near her genius.
Kate bush is great but there's at least ten i can name off top of modern times that are amazing charli xcx, bjork, ariana grande, grimes, britney spears, beyonce, sophie
Britney Spears? Uhmmm...I really don't think so. Don't get me wrong, I actually have a soft spot for her but...there isn't any comparison between the two. World's apart.
I cant believe i didnt know about her, really, until i saw documentaries like this in just the last few years. Shes fantastic. I feel so lucky because Ive found an artistic treasure trove, late in life, I didnt know about. (American, born 1961.)
It's nice to hear you say this as Kate didn't have the success in the US that she did in the UK and Europe but I do get her earlier stuff might not have been to the taste of what was popular at the time. She's come to the fore time and time again with hits like This Woman's Work being used in a few films and, of course, rerun success with Running Up That Hill being used in the Stranger Things series which has catapulted her back up into the limelight again with a new generation of fans both here and in America. Hats off to her, I've been a fan for nearly 40 years 😃👍
This is amazing finding this film of Kates first tour. I was about 19 or 20 and helped the costume designer. It was my job to find and buy many of the costumes for the dancers and the best one which I was sewing in the van on the way to the venue (as time was so tight) was Kate's costume with the 'wings' in blue. Brilliant time x
Unbelievable! I am one year younger than Kate (not a very chivalresque thing to mention). But just to mention how we adored her in those days. this feature captures the magic of Kate and those days.
Oh man, I am SO thankful that Ms. Kate Bush DID NOT go on to become anything else but the Amazing and Awesome Singer/Songwriter that she is, was, and always will be!!! She will forever be in my heart as one of my most dearly beloved and favorite musicians of all time!!!♥♥♥
I wonder what happens to all the great musical geniuses who never got there break, and ended up as vets or psychiatrists? Imagine, as you say, that we never had Kate? Our lives would be so very different!
Such a natural beauty and talent, Kate Bush is in a league that few singers and musicians even rise to, and has the charm and character you so rarely see. She is such a joy to listen to both singing, and speaking, a sweetheart of a soulful woman.
imagine being this talented, creative, intelligent AND being absolutely beautiful. It's amazing watching her as she was still pretty much starting out and knowing how much she will evolve as a person and artist. mind blowing
I'm so glad there's this second wave of recognition! I've always adored her . But collectively her band equally remarkable elevating her immense talent. It's quite obvious when you hear her speak that she's very intelligent, not too different from the likes of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page or David Gilmour when interviewed. They're all prepared to share their experiences when asked pertinent questions but Kate Bush just fills a room with charisma and warmth.
I remember watching this when it went out how many of todays pop stars realise that the wireless head set mike was made for Kate first so she could be dancing and singing at the same time? She was revolutionary then and now. My ex boyfriend got a kiss on the cheek from her on the first tour she did at the Birmingham date and I was fortunate to get tickets top see her last live event in London. It was indeed an event not a concert. I LOVE HER just wish she had done more live events she is an enigma
Regardless of gender, generation or decade, KB represents a level of commitment to artistry that is nearly unattainable, and almost impossible in the industry of music. A benchmark reference to anyone in the pursuit. Besides being absolutely f****** brilliant and gifted!! The first time I saw her I was frightened by it.
@@LeeGee I think that’s exactly what Gregory is stating… it was her determination and guidance from family and people in the industry that helped Kate. Gender had little to do with “success”, talent does not always get noticed, bless her, Kylie had/has little talent in singing/writing etc but she was in the right place at the right time. Kate Bush has such talent but also had amazing self belief, at such a young age … todays hopeful stars/performers would do well to take a few leaves from her book
This was delightfully inspiring, what a talented woman. I only got into Kate a few months ago, but she so quickly became my female role model, like an older sister I have never met. That kind of person is very rare, and I'm so happy that I found her.💙💙💙
Kate was the real English rose most of the USA could never understand! She was never debased by the gutter press because she was always just Kate, a very intelligent person who knew what was what! In a complete different class to the plastic bands and so called performers we are tortured with nowadays!
Intelligent ' talented ' wise and no lip filler ' you won't see the likes of these super stars about today or the future , beautiful music and a beautiful person 😍
This is pure English gold. Thank you for posting this, I never saw this back in the day, never knew such a documentary had been filmed. Excellent, totally excellent.
i am so angry to be French!! it took me years to find out about oh so many great (mostly English, some Americans) Artists that i did not use to listen to or understand their work!!! thank God for the internet and this access to oh so many documentaries helping discover such great performers/writers/composers i've missed out for so long...
well, good for you! Much of French music is very good to, though! In other countries you hear a lot of American very mediocre stuff on the radio. I admire the French a bit for trying to stimulate their own culture/language in France, this should happen a bit more in the other (European) countries too I mean specifically the Netherland at this moment
Your country gave us Daft Punk, Justice, Phoenix, Darius, Sebastian, to name a few off the top of my head. Every culture has great contributions to the overall art conversation
Just got PROG mag today and she's all over the cover. Found this video never seen before. Utterly astounding !! She was and still is an amazing talent. What gets me is she wrote MWTCIHE at 13!!! She was just a child herself. I'm a big early genesis fan and used to think she was the female Peter Gabriel. I know she took inspiration from him as she credits him for 'opening the windows ' on one of her early albums. But I much prefer her music to Gabriel's solo stuff. The depth and bredth to her music is staggering. Ballads/ rock/pop/Eastern and even musichall on her first album. Kate Bush. A true talent. One in a billion. I salute you!!!!!
Saw Kate Bush in manchester apollo theatre on this tour. Show was very good , the excitement mounted in the auditorium prior the concert starting . The performance itself was superb. The band were very sharp. The lighting and general staging of the songs were all exceptional. What a performer Kate Bush was on this tour. It has been a long time waiting forl the next tour. The recordings carried on, and the quality remained high.
What can you say about her? Arguably the best artist to ever come out of Britain. Beautiful to look at, fascinating to listen to, fiercely intelligent, humble, determined.... Yet you still want to protect her. One in several generations. Possibly unique. Her band deserved more credit though. They were great, too.
I’m the same age as Kate but back when she was first on my listening radar and on tv I though she was like 15 years older than myself. So Sophisticated and deep with life’s lessons . Wow, she still looks great
Ohh... WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW....just saw this documentary just right now in 2019, 11th of october and I am german, with very poor english abilities and....I just hope Kate is doing/feeling well! She is one of my heroes! And please just be a normal human being, just like you always was! Thank you for your big/great emotions/feelings you always share with us...thank you ... !!! thank you .. thank you!
Kate.....THE UK,s Diva.......Absolutely adore her......Always greatly admired Three UK Female artists from the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties......Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, and Alison Moyet......But Kate will always be number 1 ;)

Never has an artist or crew put so much effort and dedication into a tour.... and i did many.
Great stuff! I really enjoyed this, I’ll bet it was incredible to be part of 😎
Wow very cool you were involved 👍🏼
😮
Hey Martin. I would love the chance to work with her. When I was a kid the first record I ever bought was one of hers. Led me to a life time of real creative music with other bands/artists.
Creating that headset was a pioneering milestone moment in live music performance
How can any person not have a lifelong crush on Kate Bush?
"You're now just over 21, and you've made it. What is there left to do now?"
"Everything."
Minute 23, "You have to believe in yourself. You can't just accept what other people say all the time otherwise you become them, not yourself." A beautiful sentiment.
She's very very intelligent
This is Beautiful ❤
I was about 15 years older when I finally acquired such intelligence!!
She is/was miles ahead of her time, pure genius .. . and beauty, oh my!!
So much wisdom in those few words.
Indeed.
God was showing off when he created Kate Bush 🤩🥰
What a great statement! I'm sure she'd be very complimented 😃
I met Kate once in my village in Devon.....Amazingly polite and had time for me and my partner....Wonderful lady
Not a pop star, but an artist through and through. Grounded, honest, modest and focussed on her work. Both of her brothers seem grounded, solid people too. The product of quality parents.
What a great role model, mature, brilliant, gifted, humble, level-headed, vulnerable, a leader, executive, artist, choreographer, kind and brave.

I wish I could be 17 again back in late 79, followed her everywhere❤
79 was the year i got into going to gigs a magical time ,
This is nuts. Imagine being 20 years old and having this sort of responsibility on your hands. She was prepared to take it all on somehow, and then to continue doing it for years to come. How amazing is that?

@@minocious8344 Who rattled your cage, penis.

She was stoned a lot, to be frank.

Fabulous mine
Same
Same here - And when I first Saw her !
Same! I remember the exact moment. I instantly went out and bought everything she’d ever recorded! Never done before or since!
What a fantastic woman. When I was 21 I was an unemployed pot head.

Haven't you got work to do, Mr Give?

An incredible talent, songwriter, musician and performer, and frighteningly clued-up for her age then. Damn we're lucky to have her.
And from the same area of London/Kent as Dave Bowie.
How great is this? And in 2022 she`s heading to No1 in the US charts
She changed my life with Wuthering Heights and The Kick Inside. Completely changed my life. I cherish her🌹❤️
How cool are her bros!!! Solid fam💪🏼
I saw her on this tour in Manchester - just brilliant! I still have the £3.50 ticket.
Saw her twice in London. I remember paying five pounds to a ticket tout for the second show. I was 17. Wish I had kept the tickets :(

@@okgo8315 any stories?
I think she has a great future ahead of her. I'll be watching/listening.
My favourite Artist for all Times! ❤
Kate Bush is a musical genius. Has always been my favourte singer/songwriter. A professional dedicated to her craft.
I'm so glad there's this second wave of recognition! I've always adored her . But collectively her band equally remarkable elevating her immense talent. It's quite obvious when you hear her speak that she's very intelligent, not too different from the likes of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page or David Gilmour when interviewed. They're all prepared to share their experiences when asked pertinent questions but Kate Bush just fills a room with charisma and warmth.
I remember watching this when it went out how many of todays pop stars realise that the wireless head set mike was made for Kate first so she could be dancing and singing at the same time? She was revolutionary then and now. My ex boyfriend got a kiss on the cheek from her on the first tour she did at the Birmingham date and I was fortunate to get tickets top see her last live event in London. It was indeed an event not a concert. I LOVE HER just wish she had done more live events she is an enigma
How lucky he is!
Gorgeous. Simply beautiful.
Regardless of gender, generation or decade, KB represents a level of commitment to artistry that is nearly unattainable, and almost impossible in the industry of music. A benchmark reference to anyone in the pursuit.
Besides being absolutely f****** brilliant and gifted!!
The first time I saw her I was frightened by it.
"regardless of gender" - easy for a bloke to say in in the 2020s, not so easy for a woman in the '70s
@@LeeGee I think that’s exactly what Gregory is stating… it was her determination and guidance from family and people in the industry that helped Kate. Gender had little to do with “success”, talent does not always get noticed, bless her, Kylie had/has little talent in singing/writing etc but she was in the right place at the right time. Kate Bush has such talent but also had amazing self belief, at such a young age … todays hopeful stars/performers would do well to take a few leaves from her book
This was delightfully inspiring, what a talented woman. I only got into Kate a few months ago, but she so quickly became my female role model, like an older sister I have never met. That kind of person is very rare, and I'm so happy that I found her.💙💙💙
I've known her since 1979, and you since 2019, but all that matters is that you discovered her, cause I can confirm, that she is indeed rare.
same!
Kate was the real English rose most of the USA could never understand! She was never debased by the gutter press because she was always just Kate, a very intelligent person who knew what was what! In a complete different class to the plastic bands and so called performers we are tortured with nowadays!
Old soul. Wise well past her years.
What a beautiful soul, and talented one, too. Very interesting and the chat at the end was highly enlightening on many levels!
Beautiful, Intellectual and Talented!
More intelligent than every current 21 year old popstar combined!!!
Intelligent ' talented ' wise and no lip filler ' you won't see the likes of these super stars about today or the future , beautiful music and a beautiful person 😍
Well that is a fairly low bar considering 21 year old popstars today. Yes I have to agree.
Lorde is very similar
Bit of wanky thing to say
@@modifiedcontent Lord is an absolute drip with very little musical talent, a one hit wonder...
What a lovely human being
Well beyond her years. People like her are on a different level. Almost alien.
Beautiful and classy and one hell of a talent, 😍
Time passes but her music is timeless ,l still love it .
I was always mesmerised by her songs even as a child growing up.
This is pure English gold. Thank you for posting this, I never saw this back in the day, never knew such a documentary had been filmed. Excellent, totally excellent.
even when she speaks she has a very light, high voice nice to hear that
What I love about these documentaries is that they show 'the work" of the performing artist.
I saw her on the 16th of April 1979 at the Palladium. I fell in love with her that night….
Me too
This woman leaves me speechless over and over again🦢💕🙏
i am so angry to be French!! it took me years to find out about oh so many great (mostly English, some Americans) Artists that i did not use to listen to or understand their work!!! thank God for the internet and this access to oh so many documentaries helping discover such great performers/writers/composers i've missed out for so long...
well, good for you! Much of French music is very good to, though! In other countries you hear a lot of American very mediocre stuff on the radio. I admire the French a bit for trying to stimulate their own culture/language in France, this should happen a bit more in the other (European) countries too I mean specifically the Netherland at this moment
Your country gave us Daft Punk, Justice, Phoenix, Darius, Sebastian, to name a few off the top of my head. Every culture has great contributions to the overall art conversation
@@davidzavesky2827 indeed... but most of them would be singing in English ;)
what a fantastic personality.
yup, her ancestors must have been incredible
+K tiffy yes, that's true,
now we have mutants
like miley and GA ga
The best of all time. I Love her since The Dreaming. I was only 11 years Old. ❤
Just got PROG mag today and she's all over the cover.
Found this video never seen before. Utterly astounding !! She was and still is an amazing talent. What gets me is she wrote MWTCIHE at 13!!! She was just a child herself.
I'm a big early genesis fan and used to think she was the female Peter Gabriel.
I know she took inspiration from him as she credits him for 'opening the windows ' on one of her early albums.
But I much prefer her music to Gabriel's solo stuff. The depth and bredth to her music is staggering. Ballads/ rock/pop/Eastern and even musichall on her first album.
Kate Bush. A true talent. One in a billion. I salute you!!!!!
Saw Kate Bush in manchester apollo theatre on this tour. Show was very good , the excitement mounted in the auditorium prior the concert starting . The performance itself was superb. The band were very sharp. The lighting and general staging of the songs were all exceptional. What a performer Kate Bush was on this tour. It has been a long time waiting forl the next tour. The recordings carried on, and the quality remained high.
I absolutely adore Kate Bush. She is a complete treasure. An incredibly gifted, original artist.
I worship her!
Kate, your music changed my life, love you.
Gorgeous! She was so fit! I can’t think of any performer that even comes close.
She speaks very well and truthfully about her music, such talent.
What can you say about her? Arguably the best artist to ever come out of Britain. Beautiful to look at, fascinating to listen to, fiercely intelligent, humble, determined.... Yet you still want to protect her. One in several generations. Possibly unique.
Her band deserved more credit though. They were great, too.
I’m the same age as Kate but back when she was first on my listening radar and on tv I though she was like 15 years older than myself. So Sophisticated and deep with life’s lessons . Wow, she still looks great
Ohh... WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW....just saw this documentary just right now in 2019, 11th of october and I am german, with very poor english abilities and....I just hope Kate is doing/feeling well! She is one of my heroes! And please just be a normal human being, just like you always was! Thank you for your big/great emotions/feelings you always share with us...thank you ... !!! thank you .. thank you!
i love our kate.... timeless woman and music :P
BUSH THE MOVIE ,,,PLEASE
Kate Bush seems otherworldly even now. What kind of impact did that carry in the 70's and 80's?!?!?
no phoney posh accent either
Very powerful and charismatic: a gorgeous talent in every way.
@@garymorgan3314 When she thanked the audience on last tour,,,found it very emotional
@@kevcatnip7589 Well yes, she's just Sao very sweet and remains very attractive even now she looks matronly (nothing wrong with that).
She was phenomenal in the 70s and 80s and she continues to be a true artist!
Kate.....THE UK,s Diva.......Absolutely adore her......Always greatly admired Three UK Female artists from the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties......Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, and Alison Moyet......But Kate will always be number 1 ;)
Musical genius
