For the first time in nearly 40 years, Kate Bush returned to the stage in 2014 with Before the Dawn, a historic series of concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. For those fans who may not have had the good fortune of attending that residency, a triple-disc live album of the same name is scheduled to hit shelves on November 25th. Mirroring the shows themselves, the self-produced Before the Dawn is comprised of three parts: seven greatest hits, “The Ninth Wave” suite from her 1985 album Hounds of Love, and the suite “A Sky of Honey” from 2005’s Aerial.
Following the release of “Prologue”, a track taken from the third disc, and a live version of “King of the Mountain”, Bush has now shared a live take of “And Dream of Sheep”. The track, whose original appeared on Hounds of Love, is available for download on iTunes.
