Kate Bush mixed note-perfect renditions of her biggest hits with two visually stunning interpretations of her longer conceptual works on Tuesday to delight fans who had waited 35 years for the British singer and songwriter to return to the stage.

Receiving a standing ovation before she had sung a note, Bush opened with "Lily" from her 1993 release "The Red Shoes," followed by "Hounds of Love" from the double-platinum selling album of the same name.

She singled out her teenage son Bertie, who sang and acted in the show, for giving her the confidence to perform. "The adventure's only just begun," she told him onstage.
