    Such an underrated band. Great musicians, great songs and great live performances. So sad they are considered a "one hit wonder" in America because Big Country was so much more!

    When I was 20 this was the band to see. Caught them 4 times in 1983.
    Every gig transcended way way beyond being a gig, into something tribal energetic and beautiful. Great time to be young. Great soundtrack. Musically they were simply immense.

    What a fantastic performance by a fantastic band. So sorry the lead singer took his life. Just goes to show,no matter how positive some one seems on the outside,doesn't mean that's whats really on their inside. Not trying to be judgemental.

    My favorite band of 1980’s and still live their music.
    I looked like Stuart back then. Had my hair cut like his too.
    These guys really brought the goods! Great everything!

    I've been to Scotland a couple of times now, and have seen Big Country perform live back in the days. When I pass through the Alps I still hear that lovers voice across the mountain side. This music is so lovely and rhythmic, and that combination is truly brilliant. I wish it would go on forever...

      On the Steeltown tour at Newcastle, they opened with Wonderland and had technical sound issues for about 20 minutes. then played the full gig. Gave out free tickets at the end for free and played the same gig again one week later. amazing

    Hey.. The first comment ever to this video. Great song. The first time I listened this song, was in an album that I bought: Wonderland. Great memories. A question: someone knows what this song is about? Thanks and greetings from Costa Rica.

    • @WahlbergBabey
      @WahlbergBabey 7 років тому +7

      Sergio Alvarado I can vaguely remember something about the song being written because Stuart used to live near a park which always looked very dim and had grim statutes which eventually ignited the song. Not entirely sure where I remembered this from but I think he might have known about the park from back in his Skids days because I think Richard Jobson was mentioned where ever I read it?

    I feel like this is Stuart’s last punk hurrah. It’s not straight out, but the energy and the angst, it seems like a transition in a way from Skids to BC. Maybe I’m talking out of my….

      It refers to a house on townhill road in dunfermline , the house is called angle park, it could have been the name of the band
