What did you expect them to do? Mosh? It's not the sort of music to dance to; more one that takes you on an inward journey. That Wuthering Heights was #1 and she was on Top of the Pops somewhat disproves your assertion that most of them thought she would be a complete flop. She released WH when she was 19 and, as she says at the start, she's 20 when she did this performance. She was already insanely successful. Also, if you watch any Top of the Pops from the 1970s, you'll notice the crowds are nearly always very passive no matter how upbeat the music. Maybe a sign of the times, or maybe they were told not to dance.

What are you talking about? She was a huge success in the UK and the rest of Europe in the 70s and really has been ever since. Wuthering Heights was her debut single and it was literally a no. 1 hit. All but one of her albums reached the UK Top 5 (at least one entered at no.1), and the only one that didn't still made the Top 10. And that's despite the fact that she only went on a single tour and then decided to never tour again. Sure, she wasn't as well-known in the States back then (don't think it was a focus either though) but even so, she was still nominated for multiple Grammy Awards during the 80s and 90s.

I love that this was a live vocal and not lip-sync. There are so few live performances of hers in comparison to many contemporaries (fleetwood mac, Springsteen, Bowie...) this is a treasure!

Its so cool with her being so focused on the cameras! I have the feeling that she is singing past the obviously confused crowd and directly to me! Traveling through space and time cause she knew that some people at the other end of the cameras would understand.

This is the most original pop rock artist ever.

Serene, pristine and deranged, nobody should underestimate quite how shocking it was when the teenaged Bush emerged to the world with this haunting piano melodrama of her own creation. Casting herself as tragic heroine Cathy from Emily Bronte’s gothic romance, perhaps the reason so few pop songs are based on classic novels is that they’d have to live up to this.

Pitch Perfect! The voice so strange and conventionally 'weird' at the time was an ice breaker. Kate Bush was tops solo in theatrics having songs with great lyrics. First of her kind 1978 and found by the youth of today 2022 is tremendous.

How can one not fall in love with this woman?

This version is so glassy, so frail, perfectly matching the essence of the song and giving it a different dimension than that of the studio version, especially when her voice falters as she sings "let me in your window." That little quake is everything.

She was a different level of genius. This is true art.

Her theater background certainly came into play for this video. Love this!! ❤

This song is a classic. I’ve always loved it. It was unique in 1978 and it still is now.

When Kate arrived on the scene in the late 70's one of the things that set her apart was her unusual level of maturity for her age.

I remember her first performance on TOTP dressed in a floaty white dress. Mesmerising. We had never seen the like and probably never will again.

When you think some of her best Hits We're Written when she was 15 years of age Is Outstanding ;)...................................

When I first heard this song I thought this woman had lost her mind. Then after I heard it the tenth, or so, time I found myself getting into it. It's one of those songs that has to grow on you.

Some sort of bureaucratic bullshit involving the musician’s union is the reason the backing track is so weird. She wasn’t allowed to use her own backing track. Instead, the BBC orchestra did their own very rough approximation of the record. Judging from this, they possibly should have invested in a metronome for starters.
