    For those who didn’t know - Big Country got this crowd reaction by beginning their set with a song that was not a No. 1 hit, not a top 10 hit, but a B-Side. Brilliant band.

    What a song. What a performance. I suffer with depression and this one of the best medicines. Jumping around the room to this and remembering the brilliance of Big Country always makes me feel better. Such a shame that Stuart couldn't find his own way to get through life. Thanks for everything, big man.

    The first time I saw Big Country was around a week or two before this show, at The International in Manchester. They opened with Restless Natives that night.
    I have before and since been to probably 300 concerts, including approx 20 BC gigs. I have seen Springsteen, U2, everyone...
    Nothing has even come close to the first 2 minutes of that night in Manchester. They were perfect, the sound was stunning, and the energy will never ever leave me.

    Well, Stuart, you did. The very best there ever was. Every instrument sounds perfect. My very first concert was Big Country at the International, and they opened with this. My feet hardly touched the floor all night, and I was hooked, forever.

    Wonderful version! Indeed, that long intro belongs to it. Last week I bought the DVD from the movie Restless Natives. The film music and the images of Scotland gave me goose bumps. The film was not subtitled in Dutch, so it was sometimes quite difficult for me to understand the Scottish …
    I was already a fan of Big Country in 1984 and have seen them live three times in the Netherlands; the last time in April 2000 in Hardenberg. During concerts I always stood for the stage. Because the music of Big Country was exciting. The musicians always made contact with the audience, improvised their music and clearly enjoyed it. And I loved that.
    I already had several CDs from Big Country. But in the last few months, I have reinvented Big Country. On the internet I found all kinds of information: music, articles in newspapers and magazines, and so on. There's a lott to be found.

    Who raised a torch for those who died?
    I will be with them
    In the summer sun and the winter snow
    They will come and clouds will go
    And show that we are proud again

    the music of big country could lead us intto battle with runrig's 'dance called america' or 'skye' leading our charge to death or glory, i wish stewart had chosen the glory, he would be worshipped & never knew i.

    Stuart was, is and will always be of my biggest musical heroes. Listening to John Peel in my early-mid teens, hearing The Skids and then of course, Big Country.
    Those guitars, the incredible driving rhythm of the bass and the drums, still music that stirs the soul and lifts the spirit.
    Only got to see Big Country once, an amazing gig at the Hippodrome in Bristol and I took my little brother for what was his first gig. Not a bad introduction to live music.
    If only Stuart knew just how much he was respected and loved, an inspirational talent.

    A fantastic song from one of my favourite films ever. It's when I hear this my Scottish blood (about 25% of my heritage) flows like fire.

    Saw these guys three times. Each time, every member of the band was bursting with energy and giving it their all. Amazing how Stuart managed to maintain his pitch throughout the gig, night after night. Hugely talented band that never quite got the 'rock band' status and appreciation that they deserved.

    I was lucky to have seen the band at the Irvine Auditorium in Philadelphia in 1983 or 1984. Hard to believe it was over thirty years ago. I still have several of their 12" singles from their early days!

    Lucky enough to be at The Forum (or was it still the T&C) that hot summer night all those years ago. One of BCs best live songs without any doubt and a brilliant track to open a gig with... Sing up "I will be with them..."

      Took me ages to get the sound right for my music but I was shocked to find out it's just reverb distortion and a chorus pedal the real sound was in his fingers amazing guitarist

      I think these guys should have made more use of the sound. Maybe you won't like this, but this guitarist is the only person I've heard who comes close: ua-cam.com/video/3pk3A_QSINI/v-deo.html

    I still remember recording this on ITV. They used to show some good live shows late at night. I still remember coming downstairs the next morning and being blown away by this version of Restless Natives....wasn't expecting it and River Of Hope is great on this show too.

    I was there! If I remember correctly (and it's a big 'if' after all this time...) they opened with this song - which led to a loud whoop! and everyone rushing the security to get to the front!
