      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!.

      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.

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.

    My younger daughter got mad at me after I went to her house on the 4th of July this year which is her brother's Birthday. It's the first time I've felt like maybe I wanted to celebrate his Birthday. He passed away in 2020 from Cancer. He was only 32. He loved these kind of bands. She said whatever you do don't be a Debby Downer. So when we got to her house I put this song on and started to try to dance with my Grandaughters and she got so mad at me. My son would have totally got this. Wow. I miss him so much. I always wished that I could've taken him back in time so he could've seen Big Country live. He would've loved it ! ☺️❤️🙏💙😇💕🎸🎹🎶

      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.

    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 !!

    Always love how they could make a guitar sound like bagpipes, 😁👍 Unique and distinct just like them.

    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.

    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

    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.

    They had an incredibly powerful and distinctive identity (musically and visually) at the start of their career . But I think that made it harder for them later to evolve or at least for people to accept something different from them.

    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.
