Kate: <em>Kate Bush Christmas Special<\/em> is a stage performance by Kate Bush with her special guest Peter Gabriel. Though most of the songs are not holiday ones, they come from Bush&#8217;s first three albums (<em>Never for Ever<\/em> her third album would be released in 1980 after this 1979 TV special was taped). The performances include costumes, choreographed dances and a wind machine, creating an eclectic music TV special to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the programs that makes my research quite difficult &mdash; because it calls itself a Christmas Special yet it contains only one performance of a Christmas song &#8220;December Will Be Magic Again&#8221; (a song that wouldn&#8217;t be released as a single by Bush until the following year, in 1980). TV programming that calls itself a Christmas Special and yet contains little to no Christmas entertainment is actually quite common &mdash; especially on the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>Between the end of November and the end of December each year, there is quite a bit of special programming on television. Remember Elvis&#8217; 1968 <em>Comeback Special<\/em> &mdash; it aired in December that year and includes only one holiday song, a performance of &#8220;Blue Christmas.&#8221; Is it considered a Christmas special? No, not really. And so, despite its title, the lack of holiday programming in Kate Bush&#8217;s 1979 TV special means it shouldn&#8217;t be considered a Christmas special either. But the <em>Kate Bush Christmas Special<\/em> is certainly worth watching!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>H\/T to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghostofaflea.com\/archives\/022031.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Ghost of a Flea<\/em><\/a> for the link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screenshot_2019-12-23-Repost-\u2013-Kate-Bush-\u2013-Christmas-Special-1979-Private-Remaster.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screenshot_2019-12-23-Repost-\u2013-Kate-Bush-\u2013-Christmas-Special-1979-Private-Remaster-480x360.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-53693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screenshot_2019-12-23-Repost-\u2013-Kate-Bush-\u2013-Christmas-Special-1979-Private-Remaster-480x360.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screenshot_2019-12-23-Repost-\u2013-Kate-Bush-\u2013-Christmas-Special-1979-Private-Remaster-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screenshot_2019-12-23-Repost-\u2013-Kate-Bush-\u2013-Christmas-Special-1979-Private-Remaster.png 698w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published on 5 Oct 2013 I know there&#8217;s a good few copies of this out on YouTube, but here it is, again!
