Mark isn't play on this video. I think Pat Ahern is on drums. He was in the BC lineup in '91 while Mark was sitting in on drums for Procol Harum for a couple of years. Pete Wishart is on keyboards. Both are on the 1991 Rockpalast show videos on UA-cam.
@@keithlewington8457 Thanks! That little nugget of Big Country lore has escaped me for years. There is a street musician who occasionally shows up at my local farmers market blowing the bagpipes and rocking a kilt. I used to pester him all the time to play Killiecrankie for me. At first, he didn't know what I was talking about and the only version I could play for him was this poor quality rendering by Big Country (easily, my favorite 80's rock band). The last time I saw him, he busted out a few bars of this song that he had taught himself to play. PEACE
What a discovery! Awesome job, Keith.
What a brilliant version. Everyone of these guys so tallented.
Absolutely fantastic quality for this epic tune
Stuart Adamson Amazing Guitarist & Singer
This is amazing!! Thank you sooooo much, Keith 🥰
It's great to hear Stuart singing in his natural voice instead of the American nasal whine he adopted after 1986.
That is actually very true, although not many folks would have said it. 😉
Now who wants to hear Runrig perform this, & Big Country WITH Stuart singing "Alba!"
Warwagon..u just mentioned the 2 bands that changed my life..
No one has a better martial drumbeat than Big Mark!

Always remember hearing Big Country constantly on in my house in the 80s as a young boy here in Scotland.
God rest Stuart. What a band they were.
Interesting but uninspiring
