Kate Bush made a triumphant live comeback at London's Hammersmith Apollo on Tuesday night, leaving fans and critics with thunder in their hearts. 

Reviewing Bush's Before the Dawn show in The Independent, Andy Gill said: "It's quite stunning, undoubtedly the most ambitious, and genuinely moving, piece of theatrical pop ever seen on a British stage."

Alexis Petridis, in The Guardian, said the show was "another remarkable achievement".

The Daily Mail's Jan Moir wrote: "Hers is a large scale spectacle, vividly realised and unlike anything else in town."

The Sun's Simon Cosyns described Bush's show as "a triumphant return by one of our greatest, most original and influential music stars".

The Daily Star's James Cabooter said: "An incomparable performance from a genuine one-off, Kate is in a pop bubble of her own, paying no attention to contemporary trends - and the music is better for it."
