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, called On Stage. 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 Poole Arts Centre during the tour. Although it was rumoured that Bush did not tour again due to this accident, coupled with other factors including a much rumoured fear of flying, she has since claimed that it was the toll of extensive travelling and performing to large audiences that deterred her from more tours.
In 1981 a video of the concert was released, which is included in the 1994 boxed edition, including a compact disc of the audio.
