Mach's gut Bio, gute Reise... und danke für Kate und all die anderen Talente, die Du damals als erster nach Deutschland geholt hast.

First time on TV and she OWNS the stage.

Als ich das erste Mal Kate Bush mit "Wuthering Heights" hörte, war es in einer Radiosendung namens: "Spezialitäten für Fans", dessen Moderator (ganz im Gegensatz zu Bio) seine Skepsis über diese neue Musik bei der Ankündigung nicht verheimlichte. Doch als dann die ersten Klaviertakte und diese Stimme aus meinem kleinen Kofferradio kamen, war mir klar, dass das extrem gute Musik ist. Ich klebte vor dem kleinen Lautsprecher und war gefesselt von der ersten bis zur letzten Note. Das Gitarrensolo "gab mir den Rest" - von diesem Moment an war ich Fan. Dieser Song symbolisiert für mich den Zeitgeist der 70er Jahre mit seiner süßen Melancholie und dem Hang zum Mystischen, aber auch der Kraft von Emanzipation und Aufbruch in eine neue Zeit. Die Nostalgie-Welle war noch nicht ganz vorbei, auch die Flower Power war noch spürbar. Doch hier war bereits eine junge Künstlerin, die vollkommen neue, inovative Wege ging. Erfrischend, faszinierend und mitreissend. Einfach super! Vielen Dank für diesen Upload.

Kate ist der Hammer❤

My 15yo daughter just told me that Kate Bush is very popular today thanks to the Netflix series Stranger Things. She can't stop listening to her. And never forget: It all started in 1978, in the former train station of the "Köln-Frechen-Benzelrather Eisenbahn" and I remember it very well because my parents were always watching this show. Very sad that Alfred Biolek can't see this any more. He passed away in 2021.

Having heard both "Kite" and "Wuthering Heights" on her album, the vocals are definitely live. There is just enough of a pacing difference and sub-octave change to convince me. Kudoes to the band to add backing vocals to "Kite". I believe her WH backing music was on tape, because it sounded spot-on with the album.

The greatest female performer of all times

Amazing! This guy, Alfred Biolek, really had an instinct for artist. He is also the one who had "discovered" Monty Python for the German market and managed to produce two Flying Circus shows in German - approx. 1970/1971!

Einmalig in der Musik Szene. Eine faszinierende Frau mit einer faszinierenden Performance, eine Künstlerin durch und durch. Wundervoll!

Kudos to Biolek for giving her the audience she deserved and the warm welcome.

Bio hat uns heute verlassen 😢. Schon wegen dieser Sendung war er einer meiner TV-Helden.

I remember so much her first ever TV appearance. I was 14 at the time and her music influenced my whole musical experience for many years until today. TV was so much more sophisticated back then and Alfred "Bio" Biolek had the courage and the intuition to introduce us to so many artists, often still controversial, who went on to have mega careers. It is well worth looking here for other artists such as DAF, Nina Hagen, Klaus Nomi etc. who were also introduced to the German public by him. He was a great Entertainer.

Unfassbar, dass ich das sehen konnte. Wow, vielen Dank für echte Musikgeschichte, genial.

Its somehow moving to see the very first steps of a Queen and the birth of a Legend.

Kate Bush is everything

RIP, Alfred Biolek. :-(

Schade das es solche Sendungen heute nicht mehr gibt. Aber alles hatte seine Zeit. ❤️😘

Verliebt in Kate. Bis heute.

Ja! Heute haben wir hundert TV-Kanäle, aber nirgendwo so etwas wie "Bio´s Bahnhof". Wer könnte auch heute so eine Sendung machen? Welcher Programmdirektor würde das durchwinken?

Danke Bio. Ich war damals 6 Jahre alt und habe die Sendung nicht gesehen. Kennengelernt habe ich Kate ca 4 Jahre später. Sie ist das beste was es jemals in der Musikgeschichte gegeben hat. Danke das du diese Göttin bekannt gemacht hast. Ruhe in Frieden.

RIP Bio, Du warst noch ein Moderator!👍👍😇😇

Springsteen hat mal gesagt, dass er immer sehr gerne in Deutschland spiele, weil das Publikum genau und mit viel Hingabe zuhört und dadurch seinen Respekt und Wertschätzung vor dem Künstler zeigt. Die andächtige Stimmung würd ich hier ebenfalls als absolut positiv deuten und ich glaube das Publikum war einfach Sprachlos von Bush’s total progressiven Art Musik zu machen.

The Germans are good people i have been buying music from germany since i was a kid also had german pen pals the Germans are also very kind when you buy from there through ebay the minute you pay they send your item they also often send you extra items amazing kate started way on german tv and the man was right she would be a superstar ..

My God the pure talent and beauty!

The moderator "Bio" (Alfred Biolek) died today. I never knew this was Kate´s first TV performing. Her Voice is unique! (I have all her vinyls ;)

Ruhe in Frieden Bio. In der Hoffnung das Kate auch von Deinem Ableben erfährt und zu Deiner Beisetzung erscheint.

Da ist ein ganz versierter Moderator mit Spürhundqualitäten (Sting, Monthy Python...) und die größte Performerin in der Popmusik der letzten 40 Jahre, das ist das kombinierte Maximum. Danke, Alfred Biolek, thanks, Kate Bush! Und: danke für's Posten! Christoph Kirschhöfer aus Aachen

He was nice...and Kate so sweet.

It's amazing to see how the German audience had a chance to experience her beautiful song first on a National Television program. Nice to see. I know where they filmed it.

Er war auch der Mann, der Monty Python nach Deutschland gebracht hat. Wir haben ihm viel zu verdanken. Ruhe in Frieden, Alfred Biolek.

So liebevoll, charmant und hochtalentiert und vor allem vielseitig. Ihr müsst euch mal ihre Interviews anschauen.

@@skyboswell Here you go! I'm sorry that I didn't answer earlier! I hope everything makes sense! :) If there are any questions feel free to ask! 💖Put some stuff in brackets to explain something the moderator said, so that it makes sense to you! Intro: My loved ones, the contrasts of classic and pop. I don’t know if you love pop. The older ones of you might say that it’s a bit loud. That’s what Wilhelm Busch (German humorist, poet, illustrator and painter, died in 1908) already thought ‚music often will be experienced as disturbing because it’s related to sound‘ (that’s a saying of Wilhelm Busch, it’s pretty hard to translate). So he also wasn’t a pop fan. But if he would’ve known his great, great, great, great, great granddaughter he wouldn’t have said that. Our artist that I will now introduce is named Kate Bush. I have no idea if she is actually related to him. Very unlikely. There is a c missing, her name is written B U S H. That one c she might have switched for a high c that she sings, but that doesn’t matter. I don’t know that. What I know is that she’s the first time in Germany, she flew for the first time, she saw a Shrove Monday Procession for the first time, in these days she’s recording her first album and this is her first TV appearance and if grandpa Busch would have heard this he would have said ‚music won’t be experienced as disturbing, as long it’s related to Kate Bush.‘. Here she is: Kate Bush! After her performance: Kate you are great. That actually rhymes! (to a woman in the audience) My dear lady you helped me so much just now. Would you help me again? I don’t have flowers. Maybe you can give me…. yes this is fabulous. You’re not just a fabulous music stand but also an excellent rose woman. My ladies and gentlemen, is that a talent and in 10 years, maybe in 5, maybe already in 2 she will perform in New York in the Carnegie Hall, maybe at the Madison Square Garden. 15000 people will go wild. She will say „psssttt“ everyone gets quiet and she will say „Don’t forget my beginning I made in the Depot Köln-Frechen-Benzelrather Eisenbahn (place of the event she just performed at) in Cologne. The poor one didn’t understand a word. (He starts to sum up what he just said). (After she was asked if she knows any word in German she answers „Nein“ which means „No“ and then he says to her to say „Yes“ in German.)

It’s definitely not a lip sync. Not sure where you “found out,” but you have been mislead. The WH music track, yes, pre-recorded but not the vocal.

BTW..she was on tv before this in the UK btw

Damals hatten wir echte Größen wie Bio, Hans Rosenthal, Peter Frankenfeld oder Rudi Carrell. Heute haben wir Kai Pflaume (der Name ist Programm), Andrea Kiewel, Florian Silbereisen, Ross Anthony und noch einige weitere unerträgliche Selbstdarsteller. Wundert es da irgend jemanden, dass man die sprichwörtliche "gute alte Zeit", die wahrhaftig eine gute, alte Zeit war, schmerzlichst vermisst?
