Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush – and a kitchen table!

Every day, we bring you the best thing we've seen on YouTube - a great piece of archive footage, a music promo or a clip from one of our favourite movies or TV shows.

Today: Watch a classic TV performance by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush from 1979.

The duet was even discussed as a possible single release – but as all keen pop historians know, that never happened.
