I love that the BBC were like “let’s give Kate Bush a no restrictions Christmas special that she can do whatever she wants with.” And the result? Violin Demons and Peter Gabriel complaining about dinner not being ready. I love it so much.

I just love how she completely loses herself in her performances and becomes a different character. She's a singular talent. My favorite artist.

Bush has a terrific sense of humour. I love Kite.

Only Kate can get away with a sensual song about the sound of Violins with Hard Rock riffs while having a straight face of the human violins attacking her. Brillant!!!!

What was in the water in England that gave us Bowie and Kate at roughly the same time? Weird, wonderful, unforgettable.

I really wished she'd gotten *heavy* _much more often...._ - her approach to that chorus is worth the admission price on its own and signals what she could have been capable of... Spine-melting.

You are right sir in everything you say. What is more... her track 'Violin' (I believe from her album ' Never For Ever' is one of the rockiest tracks EVER performed by a British female artist. The rock guitar instrumentation and the dynamics of her voice on this track are testaments to that fact. On the album, when she reached the crescendo of loudness on the track, you can actually hear her voice breaking through her own vocal voice register. That was how passionate Kate Bush was on this track. On this track ( I believe more than ANYTHING) SHE HAS EVER RECORDED, She really played the Men performing in British rock music, at their own game.

Bjork is pretty mental, but still not quite in Kate's league.

Strangely, an acquaintance posting a link to this video was my introduction to Kate Bush. I thought it was some kind of joke: one of those cringe-inducing relics of pop culture excess the internet loves so much. Something about her intrigued me, though--was it her playful and utter shamelessness?--and drew me in. My memories of discovering her music are literally some of my most cherished. Ten albums and not even a decade later, I feel like I've known her music all my life. Kate Bush: salute!

She Rocked harder than Benatar on this track. The range and potential of that voice boggles the metal head mind. Horns Up!

Love that scream!!!

Truely one of the greatest performances from one of the most incredible artists that has every lived.

Kate is remarkable considering how demure she is ❤

Who would thought writing a song about a classical musical instrument would be so cool

Kate is one of the few artists that can produce a pure 1 kHz note which would set off whistling keyrings (a device to help people find lost keys !)

It's brilliant how I've been listening to Kate Bush for nearly 40 years and I still seem to have a different favourite song every month. Right now it's Violin. I suppose it's because all her songs are so different and unique and I like this one coz it rocks and she gets really crazy in it.

Fuck shes awesomeness

My god I remember watching this when I was 14 still love kate

Love Kate Bush. Iconic rock Goddess! Although I'm kinda glad this was all done back in the 70s before social media. I would hate to think how cruel people would be over such a wild and eccentric performance even though I think it's amazing! We'll never have a time quite like it - Love from 2024

Nothing on the planet will ever replace Kate ..part goddess part insanity demon angel sheer fookin GENIUS

What an incredible performance...they don't make 'em like that anymore

She is such a performance artist, I love her.

I love you kate, whatever you do

That is pure, unadulterated brilliance.

Iconic

Fantastic guitar solo

She is one in a trillion! A sorceress of musical uniqueness.

This special is my happy place ♥️

love her crazy dancing

I ended up in hospital after watching this a a kid, though that is down to my dad telling me and not my memory as I was a very young child at the time. I was born with a renal defect and so if I need to go the loo I have to do so or there are repercussions so much so my asking in school classes for permission to go was only out of politeness and if the teacher said no I just got up and went anyway. THe very few teachers who said no were told by the headmasters to just say yes and their punishments were revoked by the headmasters. . I could not do so as I was captivated as a 5 year old, and so it ended up with me in hospital. All I can say is it was worth it. :-)

I see again why many of us punks worshipped her. Mad as a hatter, beautiful, fearless, boundlessly creative and subversive as an SS-20 up the backside. Delicious.

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.

The version of this on Kate's Live At The Hammersmith Odeon dvd featues a FANTASTIC guitar solo by the late Alan Murphy. Absolute CLASS.

Kate Bush is a beautiful woman who has incredible voice

I'm apologetic even when David left us in 2016.

That outfit must’ve been so fun to wear

Noticed some earlier comments below about a non-existent violin: Kate's octave scale B♭1 - F7 (58.27 - 2793.83Hz); violin octave scale G3 - E7 (196 - 2637.02Hz). In this song Kate hits C#5, G#5, B5 and F6. Kate IS the violin solo.

Kate you were born for this talent.

I can't stop watching and listen to it! What an artistic person Kate is !

This song definitely depicts the atrocity of my violin playing :) .... I love you, kate bush! x

One of the best artist of all times. A never ending story of passion and talent a monument to music and a heartfelt thanks for all she has done for our souls since 40 years and counting i truly love you Kate

i ADORE her she's the most amazing ever

she is really spectacular..love her music

We forget that Bush is a great Rock singer too. James and the Cold Gun live is a religious experience. Don’t Push your foot on the heartbreak,is also a great Rock Song.

This is a jolly toe tapping tune!😊🎉

this is so heavy man

Impecável em tudo o que se propõe a fazer.

I love this woman so much just got into her music about month ago and Im a big fan

Totally bonkers and wonderful! :-D

That intro 👌❤️

This is amazing. She just lets fly and creates pure magic with no commercial consideration. Everything now in money first then image/marketing then hopefully some creativity. Joni Mitchell described the music industry as 'a corrupt cesspit '. Feel such gratitude for people like the genius that is Kate Bush still doing her stuff.

Violin huh? This song doesn’t sound like it’s gonna- OH MY! Heck yes this is what I’m talking about! 1:47 she just froze at that point and kept doing it, maybe paying a tribute to the creature from the black lagoon when he stopped when he was in trouble trying to kidnap the girl. Cool touch 2:24 That's now gonna be my way of hyping up a guitar solo. Kate is giving me so many ideas
