Live at Hammersmith Odeon (Kate Bush album)

Untitled

Live at Hammersmith Odeon is Kate Bush's only live album release, which only came out on CD along with a box set version of the VHS.

In September of 1979 she released an EP of 4 tracks recorded at the final dates of her only major tour. The Hammersmith performance had been added at the last moment as a benefit for 21 year old Bill Duffield, her lighting director, who had died at The London Palladium during the tour. Due to this accident, coupled with other factors including a fear of flying, Bush has not toured since this 1979 performance.

In 1981 a Video of the concert was released.
