I feel incredibly privileged to have been fortunate enough to be at one of those amazing nights in London, it was mindblowing and without doubt one of the most memorable performances I've ever witnessed. I absolutely adore Kate Bush and she did not disappoint.

I took a day off work, got up at the crack of dawn, PC ready, mobile ready, landline ready...and couldn't get through to book. I sat and cried as it was my last chance to see her live. I adore her, always have and always will. God bless you, Kate ~ you're my world ❤

I didn't read any reviews prior to my night going but had to watch this on the first night. I ended up getting a return ticket at the box office an hour before her last show having queued up from 7.30 am, an absolutely fantastic emotional show.

She is a Living Legend.

Kate is just PURE CLASS. Aerial is just amazing. Nothing like it. She’s beautiful, clever and so classy. I love the fact she can be private and invite the world in doing a concert. I would so love to have been there. DVD will have to do!

I don't care what anyone thinks of Kate Bush. I just know The Lady is a Beautiful genius who I love. She's made me cry and has also had me bouncing around full of energy from her music. x

We waited because we love her.

The beauty of Kate is her elusiveness...

Kate truly is a magician who is both brilliant and ageless. 40 years ago she created herself and now she still can amaze all of us with her

I will always regret not being able to get tickets for this one, after being in love with this woman's work since Lionheart

Kate Bush c'est ma "chérie" à moi depuis 1978. En ignorant tout d'elle, j'écoutais ses premiers disques en boucle et je chantais "Wutherings" comme elle, en même temps qu'elle, d'autant que je connaissais les soeurs Bronte. On avait le même format, les mêmes cheveux au henna, la même voix et "naturellement", je pensais qu'elle était une autre moi-même qui osait monter sur scène pour chanter & danser. Puis, je l'ai perdue de vue des siècles mais elle était mon petit secret au fond de mon coeur, l'image vibrante de mes 18-20 ans. Là, j'apprends qu'elle est revenue cet été et a donné concerts ! Sans moi ?! En plus, j'étais de passage à Londres mi-août et l'info m'a échappée. Quels regrets ! Depuis, je m'injecte une dose plus ou moins grande de ma Kate Bush tous les jours. Merci internet. Je rajeunis, me rappelle des trucs... Alors, je surprends sur mon vélo, dans le métro, dans un ascenseur que ça chante du Kate Bush silencieusement dans ma tête. (C'est à cause des doses...) Et surtout, en surfant à ci et là, je suis hyper étonnée qu'autant de monde la connaisse et l'apprécie. (Quelle naïveté de ma part !) Euh.. tant mieux, hum, mais bon, elle est "à moi" quand même, hein. J'l'ai vue en premier et puis, c'est ma jumelle pas siamoise..

Artiste complète, créative, discrète... Intemporelle. Sublime. Inoubliable. 💞

Iwas lucky to get to see show so many people trying to see her....

How ironic a mear 4 years later not one person reviewing her is remembered and yet Kate is timeless

i was there opening night, and to put simply kate is the best.

I imagine Kate Bush would personally despair at the vitriolic hatred spewed within the comments section here by her (presumably) 'fans'. So many people are just so narrow minded. You'd think that a fan of Kate's music would have more warmth in their persona than to so openly and spitefully criticise others.

A rare gift for our world,she's beautiful and majestic.

This was painful to see... they truly have no clue about Kate Bush. All my love to Kate for touching my heart deeply with all her music, elegance, beauty, haunting expression, her grace, her songwriting and her choreographies. One of the most unique and extraordinary artists I've ever heard on the telly and YT.

How can Kate Bush be bonkers for liking things like the Sunset or putting the washing out...Just goes to show she is real, takes everything in, just like a writer would do.....observation is everything...in life! Especially if you are a creative person like Kate Bush is...You can hear her thoughts through her songs, that's what makes her so unique and a one of a kind. There's no one like her...She is like a female David Bowie.....he was also a one off.

Love it that I got her back then. But blown away by her maturity. Her lyrics were written as a teen and yet I only understood them as I matured. They say that males mature slower but this is ridiculous.

Gemma Aterton had the nerve to claim to be "a big Kate Bush fan" and yet didn't even know the year in which "Hounds of Love" was released . The other one, Anna whatever, suggested Kates songs were about taking the washing out and looking at a sunset . Apart from alluding ONLY to the "Aerial" album (I'll bet she wouldn't be able to list ALL of Kate's albums) neither has she any clue as to the real meaning of Kate's lyrics .

Doesn't matter what is said about kate she has TOUCHED so many people including me if you don't get her that's your loss. the people on this program weren't even Born when kate first came on the scene at the height of new wave . Just like bowie. there's new wave, there's old wave, then there's bowie. There's everything then there's kate . Kate isn't an artist she's a life force , she's a fairy sent to make the world a better place. Sorry for the rant to much red wine

Absolutely Brilliant Performer

"A typical rock sort of gig." Sorry, is that your description of Lili,a fucking amazing song? And then later followed by an utterly incredible note-perfect rendition of Running Up That Hill that had fully-grown men around me gurgling like babies. Just get down on your knees and worship genius.

Scared by Kate Bush songs,how do they cope in the real world

why are people so cruel about her she is a female pop genius and she doesn't love her life in the spotlight like a lot of stars

Shame that the two interviewed who saw the gig are soooo boring. Love Kate.

Why is it still so difficult for people to grasp the fact that a woman will take a great amount of time to focus on her family? that's a lot of important work going on and doesn't mean she's disappeared or not doing anything for everybody. Those women who continue to work like that most of the time decided not to have a family--but why should she have to choose

Shame they couldn't get two proper fans to review it.

Did i hear correctly?? Kate Bush ...music...SIMPLE!!!!???? WTF!!! You dont know Kate at all, her music is deeply profound and complex thats why we love her and thats why shes special!!! ACTUALLY!!

Kate Bush has always been able to communicate archetypal and innovative storytelling that draws feelings from you that very few can. It's hard to listen to anything she does and not feel an emotional welling.

Tripped over Kate Bush again, and all I can say is that this interview lets me resonate with you more Gemma Arterton

When an artist makes me like a type of music I normally ignore then I know that artist is top of the line, Kate Bush not only made me like some songs but many of her visuals were/are fetching too. It's kind of like this, I'm an action and horror fan but the rare drama will pull me in if I feel it is very well done.

She is one of those people that when they eventually die it will cut her fans to the core!

I don't think it was that bad. I went to see Kate Bush on Tuesday 9th and it was fantastic. If you haven't seen the show it is very difficult to describe it. It was very theatrical and utterly amazing! They did really well to 1) not give too much information away to ruin it for people who have got tickets for the later shows, and 2) to describe it simply enough, and as I said it is so difficult to describe the awesomeness of the show!!

Quintessence of English beauty. No idea why the BBC brought these 2 middle class English fillies on to narrate the interpretation.

She' a legend...

Kate Bush is everything...

Always love Kate I don't think I can sing like that she is so unique 🌹🌹🌹

Unique Progressive Brilliant & Wayyyyyyyyyyyy Ahead Of Her Time Otherworldly ! Love Her So Much Always & For Eternity !

Always was a fan...that voice...those lyrics... beautiful in looks but SO much more than that... characterful lady... gentle yet powerfully strong... Peter Gabriel ...also was great talent...

I love Kate Bush I recently downloaded old and new songs she is amazing .Kate come to Norwich Theatre or The grand Cromer pier theatre and perform everyone loves you here .

*The Clue was in her Surname longed for it so long WOW !*

"Its been a long time since she appeared on stage. Some of you might not think thats a shame" Ha what a way to start off. Negative right from the off lol

"be happy with a more domestic life, where she could work on her recipes"...... Right there is the sort of contempt the BBC has for millions and millions of normal people. Their particular kind of 'hyper-liberalism' didn't allow them to imagine that a working woman might want to step away to spend time being domestic and/or maternal.

Were these two people actually there? They cant remember? God I remember every minute of the gig cos I was lucky enough to be there on the night of my birthday

We can all lament on what could of been but the most important thing is the music and songs. She was so successful she could retire early. I think she would have invested her money wisely. This last gig made her multiple millions in a very short amount of time. We probably won't get anymore live shows but shes done "this womans work" . I feel sorry for her ex bassist/boyfriend/studio engineer Del Palmer. She was his world and he's never moved on emotionally to anyone since which is understandable.

Absolutely adorable, it is Kate Bush. I love kate bush forever.

Why are people so angry in this comments section

I like this review a lot. It's raw and unfiltered like so many contrived "perfect" reviews/interviews. The 2 girls are clearly speaking from the heart and were moved by somebody from a totally different generation. Very cool and thank you so much for posting!

All due respect but The Ninth Wave blew me away when it came out. From the first time I played it. In 1986, not when these cute little photogenic girls first heard it I suspect.

This review is absolutely disgraceful. Profoundly insulting both to Kate and her fans.

if your not a big kate bush fan why are you talking?

wait that mime artist didnt teach kate it was lindsay kemp

“But why has her public waited so patiently for her”? Stupid, stupid question. Like people were waiting 35 years with bated breath for her return. In fact nobody waited for her. It was understood she’d never tour again and people accepted that This is not a good report - no one involved seems to have the slightest idea about Kate Bush and her music at all.

Looking forward to the DVD, and let's hope she graces us with some more new music soon.

Journalists... Achieve nothing themselves but somehow manage to make every interview all about them.

I lived in London from 1995 to 2007. I lost it :-(

I have all the orignal LP`s of Kate...

Her voice ..... Superb

Gemma Arterton has been a lifelong fan of Kate Bush she even said it about Diana Vickers when she was a contestant on The X Factor.

Gosh, Anna's voice in real life is so angelic and calm. What a surprising transformation occurs with her voice on the stage! heh

One last piece of little resentment : I wished KB would issue a bluray of that series of concerts. It seems unfortunately she doesn't think it serves any purpose.

An amazing show that listenng to Gemma Arterton gives you no feeling of at all.

Kate is not a complete exile, i saw her at an album-signing event in one of the big record shops.

Grazie a Kate io ho iniziato ad amare e apprezzare il fatto di èssere una donna! Prima di scoprire lei e tutte le sue abilità Artistiche, creative e umane, e femminili nel senso più essenziale di questa parola, io non accettavo... dentro di me... di èssere una donna. Mi dava immediatamente fastidio che, nella società, le donne avessero assai meno potere degli uomini, e fossero considerate meno importanti di loro... in genere! Grazie al Cielo nella mia famiglia non era affatto così! Io ho avuto... e ho ancora, pur se ormai pressoché tutta invisibile qui, ma è vivissima in me... , una famiglia stupenda, in cui mi sentivo accettata e amata, rispettata... per come ero, e per come sono... e sarò! Kate è anche la mia artista-mito! Mi ha aperto tali Orizzonti espressivi, letterari, poetici, artistici, creativi e umani... E con il suo concreto esempio mi ha mostrato quanto si può èssere libere di esprimere sé stesse... E quanto si può fare e osare con coraggio, di meraviglioso, di importante e che fa pensare, comprendere molto di più... di fondamentale... , credendo in sé stesse e seguendo la propria anima, il proprio universo sconfinato interiore misterioso ed eterno... che ha come origine e finalità l'amore puro! Vorrò sempre un immenso bene a Kate, irresistibilmente❣️ Antonella, from Mantua, Italy! Italia.

Thanks Girls for the comments, you confirmed what I thought about her in the 70's ;)

Nice thing about the doco the Beeb did earlier this year is that it was more long-time fans and friends than the Beeb.

Who in The Name of God are these dreadful 'reviewers'? This bordered on criminal.

terrific to hear.

Love Kate. The rude remarks by some people were unfortunate.

The two women’s reviews didn’t sound that bad to me. When they described it as a typical rock gig it was only in relation to the opening salvo , which was how the shows were. The shows were said to begin with a typical rock and roll type band , and slowly began to transform into a more dramatic theater, with actors in costume and the like.

She. Looks. Amazing

Quite obviously not great KB fans, especially as they left before the end. Anna Calvi was slightly better than Gemma Arterton who clearly doesn't know her arse from her elbow, why oh why didn't they let proper KB fans have those seats.

Such rude comments...Kate doesn't belong to you, I really liked the girl's comments, refreshing to not hear boring old gits talking about how sexy she is And no you're not getting a DVD ......everrrrrr !

“Thanks for dropping in” Man thought he was a Bond villain

Two "special reviewers" really?

Kate Bush birthday 30 July - the same as Emily Bronte the author of Wuthering Heights.

Just the perfect woman to fall in love with.

These 3 women are pretty lame here. Boring pointless questions and mostly empty answers. Their voices should be filled with awe and wonder if they are fans. They sound bored and barely interested. BBC is getting worse.

2:50, what a performer. Shames most professional dancer.

I was watching this on subtitles and the presenter pronounced the name Anna Calvi as ''And a cow v''. Hahaaa!

Dear Sally...never toured again??? If i remember right she made only 1 tour.... but whatever...she is a great artist

I love Kate bush but the ‘the’ first was Noosha fox. As individual and arguably talented as Kate bush but Kate shone from a very young age because of her talent and those pioneers prior...love ‘em all.🎶❤️🎶

Gemma and Anna are obviously major fans. I thought their comments were totally sincere.

who are these two....

🌹🌹🌹💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

adorei isso

None of you are fit to critique the mighty bush.

Who's searching for all about 'Wuthering Heights'

Anna Calvi must one of the most boring interviewees ever, she got a gold ticket with a dinner for free and she does promo for Kate Bush the day after on television. whereas in fact it is very pedestal, she's just there to tell Kate Bush fans, go to my concerts, buy my albums. ahahh Oh Yeah yeah yeah veyr touchy very touchy

'Bonkers'? They aren't on that level of even understanding what its all about let alone 'getting it'!

I found this intensely irritating. Irritating that two of them are mere children who were not around when Kate first appeared and put out her seminal works. Also irritating that most of the people who seemed to get tickets for these shows are 'celebs' of some kind - actresses, tv personalities, musicians etc. Why the fuck should they get to have first dibs when most of them are not even old enough to remember her first time around. Why do these peoples opinions even matter? This was an awful piece. Awful awful awful.

funny how this second/third generation sanctimonious gushing of how wonderful and strange and how moving it is, doesn't reflect on the fans who tried to get tickets on the day, but were locked out, only to find after the 15 minutes the tickets sold out, and then the hospitality tickets start to be offered, £450, £1000 etc etc. Then starts this sort of touting of normal tickets for extortionate prices. Scam after scam, this was meant to be a scam proof exercise, and it proved anything but.

I’m surprised Laura didn’t ask ‘why is Kate such a communist’

As an American, I can now say that insufferable talking heads appear on TV on both sides of the Atlantic.

is there any footage of it..at all?

Klate Bush nije vidljena the noci u Londonu Niti je opdrzan ijedan koncert u Apolu u Londonu kako je pisalo na zvanicnom sajtu Kate Bush

Whose vacuous daughters are these?

Horrible journalist speil intro from the woman.
