11/25 – talk about suffering for your art!? Kate Bush has a new live album out next Friday…
BEFORE THE DAWN WAS RECORDED DURING THE INCREDIBLE RUN OF 22 SOLD-OUT SHOWS PERFORMED BY KATE AT LONDON’S HAMMERSMITH APOLLO IN 2014
In March 2014, Kate Bush announced plans to perform 15 shows in London in August and September that year, her first live shows since 1979. The shows sold out so quickly that a further 7 were immediately added, with all shows selling out in 15 minutes.
And from the YouTube video caption:
This is a special piece of film to accompany the release of the live single ‘And Dream Of Sheep’. The vocal was performed live while filming Kate lying in the huge water tank at Pinewood Studios. This was to create a sense of realism, as the character in the song is lost at sea. However it became more realistic than Kate had imagined. She spent so long in the water during the first day of filming that she contracted mild hypothermia. She recovered after a day off and carried on filming. Everyone agreed it had added to the authenticity of the performance. This film was then projected onto a large oval screen which hung above the stage during the performances of her live show.
