Show 52: Kate Bush - Manchester Apollo - April 1979

 

A great show to kick off the latest series of Live and Loud! Until 2014, Kate Bush hadn't toured since her Tour of Life in 1979. So why not find a show from that tour, polish it up and bring it to you? This show takes you back to 1 of the Manchester Apollo dates on that tour in April 1979.  The tour was a lavish affair, featuring multiple costume changes, poetry, magicians and back projections - none of which we can bring you of course! But what we CAN bring you is a polished up and (apart from a few brief parts where the tape was degraded) great sounding soundboard recording. This is the full show, running to nearly 2 hours a great set of songs which has cleaned up nicely - I hope you enjoy it.

UPDATE 2018
While preparing this old show as separate files for a donator to the site, I found I could now improve the sound quality further, over what I’d originally done to the recording several years ago. You can now download this new version (as of 2018) HERE as 1 new 320kbps MP3 file.

If you would like to have separate tagged MP3s, or even lossless files in FLAC format of the new version, head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs.
