Live At The Hammersmith Odeon

Some thoughts from watching the old video of Kate Bush live at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1979 for the first time:

"I swear she's just done the Thriller dance before Thriller."

"There's a terrifying violinist on stage..."

"...And now Triffids."

"Two security guards from Nightmare Of Eden on stage. Where is she getting all these hats from?"


"Now she's in Black Narcissus and dancing with a gimp."

"Terrifying mime clown in long eared headgear trying to read a magazine, blown away by wind."

"Now there's an Nevada backdrop and she's doing provocative dancing with a gun."

"She's killed the scary clown mime."

"Graphic killing of a Mexican."

"And now she's dressed as Biggles."

It all makes sense if you've seen it. I insist it does.
