2024 👌🏼👌🏼
Feb' 2024, watched it when first broadcast after seeing them live... 56 now😢
Me Feb 2024 one word Class
Who Vibin’ on this in 2024 ???
I'm rockin out to this song in 2024. Loved this from the first listen, still love it 40+ years on
From the Skids to this, pure unadulterated joy with this band! Adamson you are truly missed by all of Scotland!
And the world
Yes God please give him back. I will never forget this band ever. He had everything to live for. I had a son in the 80''s he died if Cancer. But he loved this Music. So sad. It breaks my heart. 😔💔🙏
God bless your son
So sorry for your loss
When I was a young lad my mum took me to meet Stuart Adamson at his house he was such a kind and generous person he gave me a signed copy of the crossing album he wrote on it "to Darren be lucky. Stuart "
What a talented band. Always loved the funky drumming and bass playing too. Fell in love with the Yamaha sg after seeing them. My guitar hero, Bill Nelson played one too for a while.
Awesome!, what a great memory to have. Unfortunately never got to see BC, everyone speak of what a great guy Stuart was. A guy I work with, met up with Stuart and the group after a gig he did with ‘the skids’ in Birmingham back in the early days. They all went back to the hotel they were staying at and chatted and drunk til the early hours. You can’t buy memories like that!.
Each Celtic nation had their own band at this time, Ireland with U2, Scotland with BC & SM, Wales with the Alarm
Very niice
You're so lucky! That's gorgeous.
I would love to turn back time to see these guys live. One of the best bands from the 80s
I saw them live at Lancaster Uni around 1985, they were amazing......until Stu fell off the stage and broke a rib! Glad to have been there, even though the concert was cut short ( and despite the six foot tall, six foot wide bloke in a tartan shirt who stood in front of little old 5 foot 2 me!) God bless you Mr Adamson.
Been listening to this man all day. A True Scottish Legend. RIP ma man. You gave me some great times in my youth. Some of the Greatest concerts I've ever been to. A light went out on 16th December 2001
Just a brilliant Guitar player!!!!
Can I honestly ask - does the fact he was Scottish matter so much?
He was a brilliant musician and Scottish - which is the most important? Things have been altered by identity politics so much in recent years for the worse.
In the late 70s and the entire 80s (real music memories), where a musician came from, it didn't matter.
What an absolutely brilliant band.
Hi I recommend an Indie Rock Song called 'Looking into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
too right mate
Yes I agree🏴🏴
400 miles without a word until you smile.
R.I.P Stuart Adamson
Terrific song from a great band!!
Your name will never die, Stuart Adamson
loutiscrive NEVER 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🥂🍻🍀🙏
Glasgow baby
How could anybody not like this band?... So much fun and positive energy!
Who in 2019 would love to be in that audience.
Me 👍
Me!
Yes.
Wednesday, 19th December 1984. Kings Hall Belfast. One of the best days of my life. I was 16yrs old then, i'm only 51 now.. Still get goosebumps..
Me
A massive thank you to the band - true gentlemen.
My 8- and 6-year old boys are huge Big Country fans. Took them to the Thame Music Festival on Saturday - the band were so kind and let them on the stage to play guitars on Fields of Fire.
They'll remember that night forever. Dreams stay with you! Thank you Big Country, a great, great band.
That is lovely.
Long live the music of the incomparable Big Country and Mr. Stuart Adamson, one of the finest guitarists the UK 🇬🇧 has ever produced and it’s fair to say we’ve had a good few, The Crossing was and still remains one of the greatest Rock albums ever….Outstanding!
What's with the butcher's apron? Stuart would have told you where to stick that rag. 🍀🏴🇮🇪🇯🇵
@@seanspillane8231what's the jap flag for lad
Big country was one of those music act's that were so unique and very hard to imitate, absolute brilliance. Viva Stuart Adamson !
Galloping drums take this song to an even greater level!
Sound of my teenage years, just as pure gallus now I'm 52. Trips back to Paisley from London on Stagecoach were where my Walkman earned its price. Big Country in their many albums got me home to my Big Country. R.I.P. Stuart Adamson......so sad....so loved....so missed
David Parrott 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🥂FOREVER 👍
David Parrott 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴♥️🙏
@G F Country is throw up and just listening to it makes me angry
Dear God. I'll swap you Justin Bieber, Rhianna, Nicki Minge and All of one Direction if you'll just give us Stuart Adamson back.
Cap Colombie Nicky Minge😆
I'm with you there.
Yeah right
I'll second that!!!!!!
I spat my tea out when I read nikki minge . Hilarious
Was there ever a more talented musician than Stuart Adamson..My god how good was he.x
To play those melodies whilst singing something entirely different ..AMAZING
The pride of Scotland 🏴
Saw them in San Francisco circa 1983. Unforgettable. Stupendous. Everyone danced. So much joy. RIP Stuart.
I was listening to this song in the summer of 87 and had a near fatal accident. It always makes me feel lucky to listen to this song. Hopefully I can go out listening to this song when the time comes.
What an awesome tune from an awesome band. RIP Stuart, you are a true legend. Thanks for the music
Still remember when I first heard this song. Was lying in the garden while my young daughter was having a nap. Radio was playing the usual, then this skirling guitar sound made me sit up and pay attention. Totally different from anything else. Can't remember now if it was good old Annie Nightingale playing it or not. Loved their sound. Devastated when Stuart Adamson died
The sound is Scottish and rockunroll AF. Absolutely love it.
This is soooo good. Loved them as a teenager and till this day. Fab stuff!
oh wow they are playing instruments and singing at the same time!
Such a great Band and brilliant live. Superb musicians. 😊
Still listening to them in 2022..Great band..
R. I. P. Stuart
We were so lucky to grow up with such great music like this.
Brilliant Band, great memories!
Their music has meant a lot to me over the years, and has helped me get through tough times. I would have loved to see them live, or at least told them how much their music has
Hi I recommend an Indie Rock Song called 'Looking into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
2024 and still loving Big Country
Great band. So many good songs. Also did a great soundtrack to the brilliant film Restless Natives. RIP Stuart.
Absolutely one of the most underated bands ever
Love that movie
Did they do music for Local Hero
@@stuarthutchin7686 That was Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.
He took antidepressants and that led to him down the wrong road because Anti-depressants Have side effects for which most people don't watch out for or take care of.
I'm a former marine, At the veteran hosp., i was given Anti-depressants and I realized you know what I want off this shit because the people for whom I am depressed aren't changing so I'm gonna get off this and I'm gonna start choosing better people around me.
What I and many others did not realize because we did not read the insert to the medication there are many side effects and those side effects are tough on our body and on our mind and for some people that don't read in to what to do to take care of it the Mind can spiral down the wrong road.
And, as if that weren't enough if you try to get off the Anti-depressants, you will suffer side effects from getting off the anti-depressant because your brain has to configure itself back to normal.
Look up Stevie Nick's experience with klonopin...you'll hear about the hell she went through.
Brilliant song. Brilliant band. No one dies on UA-cam.
I love the 3 guy's in the middle going nuts over this new hit ❤ it's me and my mates Steve and James ❤ were back in 83 ❤🎉😊
Unmatched, ever before or since.....RIP Stuart Adamson and thank you brother!
*I still get Goosebumps from this after all these decades a year and some change!*
One of my pals at school...... never even got to see him perform at a gig although we chatted a lot....... sorely missed.
Went on the beer with them after their gig in Munich.Fantastic people !!🙂
lucky!!!
Well done Gareth.
Klasse. Habe das schon immer geliebt
Remains one of my favourite of their songs almost 40 years later.
Keep flying high stuart 😔never forgotten 🙏
What I wouldn't give to go back in time and be there...
Thanks for posting this.
Hate to be that guy but I saw BC in Frankfurt while I was stationed there in the mid eighties. I had the incredible fortune to see some of the best bands ever in clubs the size of a basketball court, R.E.M. touring with Fables, Fine Young Cannibals, Wall of Voodoo, the Cult, Tears for Fears, bands that shaped my tastes even now. The Big Country show was as amazing as a fan could hope it would be, a crowd full of avid fans who knew every lyric from every song they played, it was like the crowd was dying of thirst and Big Country was a glacial waterfall. I still feel lucky today watching clips like these that I got to see them, love and respect to that band all of my days.
What do u mean, "you hate to be that guy?"
Oh please share away! I personally love hearing stories of the fans who seen all these legendary 80s bands in the early days! We were all so lucky to have lived our youth during that brief but brilliant music era 💜
Please do tell. Love to hear memories.
Stuart Adamson & Big Country, forever
★ Thanks UK
★ Thanks Scotland
~ For living us so beautifuls songs in the voice of
Stuart Adamson.
Stuart we'll always remember you at Christmas season. ~__Fernando.
Fernando Molina Campos ❤️❤️❤️🌹👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🙏
Even though i am more than 400 miles away, 🇵🇭
Big Country will always be a part of me. 🏴❤
The star that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Rest in peace brother.
I saw them 'live' at the Cliffs Pavilion (in Southend-on-Sea), when this came out ('83)...great gig! :) I was a HUGE fan of Stuart Adamson...and it was so sad that we lost him in 2001, when he commited suicide...a tragic loss! :( xx R.I.P xx
One of the most beautiful and honest bands ever! Transposed the Scottish Trad sounds to garage rock. Genius!
I'm now back in the day...best effing time ever!
Those two Yamaha SG's blasting out that unmistakable sound ❤
Love it. Saw them support the stranglers reading 83. Wasn't expecting much but man they were the best that weekend (which included Black Sabbath and the last thin Lizzy gig ever,)
No
you can't get a better bunch to compare them to from the era, i've seen the skids but never BC or sabbath but seen other two & i'm sure they'd be better than other great bands i've seen from costello, the Q-Tips, paul young before he went solo, great white soul band, dr. feelgood, the boss & E st band & tom petty, i have to ration my intake of big country like a drug, or i end up plotting to overthrow the english. again!
Greatly missed Stuart. Pure Legend. Gone never ever forgotten. Rest In Peace 🙏
Nobody EVER underrated Big Country. 🙄
I remember cutting the sleeves off of a check shirt and wearing it to my office job (aged 18 in '83) - my boss said 'What are you wearing?' - thanks David.
Haha, they were the days! I'd be oot and come hame and somebody had left a tartan shirt on my front door handle! I'd had loads o the bloody things! I'm sure they bred in the washing basket! 😂 😂 🏴
God how I loved this album and this song in particular! My kilt and Claymore and off we go!
Big country still rocking the tunes 👌. Touring 2021-22. Go relive your youth
Hard to believe this song hit the charts 40 years ago. Fields Of Fire from Big Country continues to burn.
Went before his time bless his name will live on
Was fortunate to catch this band 3 times in 1983.
Ayr Pavilion, Reading Festival then Glasgow Barrowlands at Hogmanay.
The energy of the music and the audience was really something every time.
There is a sense of truth and meaning in this music.
It's not spelled out so you can interpret what the band say for yourself.
I think the audience always did and so really got behind it.
It's also rare to get a pop band that can play as well as Big Country.
Fantastic playing chops across the board with Tony Butler really pushing the envelope of what the bass can do in a pop song.
it helps to be young when a band like this is on the scene.
The Crossing is one of the greatest rock albums.
Even tracks not making the album like"Angle Park" and "The Crossing" were better than most bands best stuff !!
Footstompin' Leroy Scott I was at the Reading Festival in '83 too with a line up which included Black Sabbath, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Stranglers and Thin Lizzy and, for me at least, Big Country were the surprise package of the festival and stole the shop with a great, crowd pleasing performance. Brilliant.
Footstompin' Leroy Scott ,,,,, i was at that Ayr Pavilion gig it's still to this day one o the best live performances i have seen ,, think "the lotus eaters" were the support band ,who were also pretty good live ,,,
yis a lucky lad leroy. what i'd give to go back to that new year's eve gig at barrowlands. the footage oozes the sweat and stratospheric energy that you fuckers created.
This and Inwards are their best songs by far, and some of the best songs ever imo!
Repose en paix stuard adamson , ya longtemps que tu ai partie! Big country pour la vie !
A truly brilliant band. Long live the music.
pusuper 1 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🙏
Magnificent. Nothing and I mean nothing comes close to this these days.
Še ena skupina ki je zaznamovala mojo mladost, I ❤ this group 🌞🌈🐬
My favourite group as a teenager and beyond RIP Stuart Adamson
Christmas eve, playing the crossing cassette over and over, then down to Girdwoods Lounge......it was pure magic!.......will never forget it.
That guy was a musical genius
They all were/are.
Who ever thought a rock band could sound like this, so original!!! I never gave Tony the credit he deserved, his approach to his contribution was also unique in many ways! So sad that Stuart took his life.
Incredible 80's song
Met Stuart a few times during the 80’s with The Skids and Big Country. Stuart, you are sadly missed.
Love these guys!! Such a unique sound
Brilliant...I was driving a awful mg metro leith my mates singing along to this ahhhhh the memories...the Hair....thanks for the blast in the past !!!
I saw them at Cornwall Coliseum mid 80's I can't remember the exact date. Absolutely brilliant.
Me to ....I was right at the front,I remember shouting at Stuart all night to play Porrohman and they did near the end of their set.
Brilliant night.
Has kind of a Slade Run-runaway sound to it. Haven't heard this songs in 35 years. Glad I found it.
Saw and met them at Sunderland Poly in 1983. Got a drumstick signed by them somewhere. What a band!!!
Christ what i'd give to have been at one of these early shows!
They were magic gigs. You'd have loved them
teedammit 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🙏
I was lucky to see them twice with the Alarm in support 83/4
I was there that Friday on The Tube the big name was U2 that day (see the BOY stage in background) but these were the boys for Me!
Sometimes forget what a great song that is😊
Great track loved it when it came out love it now!
One of the greatest live bands ever!
Fantastic 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🍻🥂🙏
WHAT A BAND! x
I never heard this song before and I love it 😊
What about Big Country - Chance ?
Same! Fell in love instantly
Dean Tuppit Rooms 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🙏
What a great band. 100% better than any of the shit that passes for music today.
So true..they worked way harder back then, better music a result
Alfred E. Nueman 👍🏴🏴🥂🏴🏴🏴🙏
Alfred E. Nueman there’s plenty of great music being made today, don’t be a dick
An understatement if there ever was one
Exactly !
Im glad I have this song on vinal record and still play it on my old record player great
Heavenly happy birthday Stuart, never forgotten 🤍
Listening to Big Country on this birthday anniversary and now I'm in a video rabbit hole. I love this one.
I like them better now than when I was in my 20s. Stuart Adamson is such a talent. Great blending of Rock&roll and Scottish folk music. BTW, I was born in May 1958. Stuart would be 2 months older than me if still alive. What a shame.
This is great!
Hi I recommend an Indie Rock Song called 'Looking into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
God, they were so damn great.
Always wanted to see them live. . .
Still touring and even without Stuart still nail it
Awesome! Big Country are pure class!
Pure class.
Incredible! Brings back so many wonderful memories.
Awesome tune I had the album brilliant songs on there
Awesome song🤗
Bless you Stuart, you were a real inspiration and a guitarist/songwriter with few peers. Can't believe its been 20+ years since you turned it off.
