Live at Hammersmith Odeon is a live concert performance by the British singer Kate Bush. It is a recording of her first of only two concert tours, The Tour of Life from 1979, first released on home video in 1981. The video of The Tour of Life was re-released in 1994 as a boxed set that included a CD version of the performance. Kate's second concert tour, Before the Dawn (Kate Bush concert series) (2015) is being developed for video release in the near future.

The twelve song live album is heavily abridged. The complete show consisted on twenty-four songs. The performance consists 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 an EP of four tracks recorded at the final dates of her only major tour, called On Stage, which reached #10 in the UK singles chart.[2] The EP includes a performance of "L'Amour Looks Something Like You" which was cut from the abridged live album.
