Live at Hammersmith Odeon is a 1994 live album by the British singer Kate Bush. It is the CD-version of an abridged video recording of the 1979 The Tour of Life, first released on home video in 1981.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The video and CD contain twelve songs recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon on 13 May 1979, consisting mainly of songs from The Kick Inside and Lionheart with a new song "Violin"; which would subsequently appear on Bush's third studio album Never for Ever in 1980.

In September 1979, Bush released On Stage, an EP of four tracks recorded ostensibly at the same concert. However, the four tracks on this EP are noticeably different from those released in 1994. The EP reached Template:Thinspace in the UK singles chart.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and includes a performance of "L'Amour Looks Something Like You" which was not included in the abridged live album.

Critical reception

Electronics & Music Maker described the release as "a prime example of the integration of music, dance and visual effects".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
