Kate Bush: On Tour

About This Movie

This documentary, part of the BBC's 'Nationwide', takes an intimate look at Kate Bush leading up to her first major tour, 'The Tour of Life'. The atmosphere is filled with that raw energy of anticipation, as you get glimpses of both her creative process and the behind-the-scenes hustle. It's not polished—kind of a rough gem, really. The pacing is relaxed yet engaging, allowing Bush's unique performance style to shine through without feeling rushed. There’s a real sense of her artistry and the challenges she faced, which makes it feel quite personal. The practical effects of the era, combined with her theatricality, create this intriguing blend of music and raw emotion that stands out in the realm of music documentaries.

This documentary is not widely available, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. Various formats have surfaced over the years, but it’s often the VHS tapes that seem to surface at collectors' swaps. There’s a niche interest in the film, especially among those who appreciate the early work of Kate Bush and the context of her rise to fame. Keep an eye out for any listings, as they tend to disappear quickly.
