Fucking Big Time. Unbelievable Live Band. Big Tone cracking out the Bass Lines with Mark as a Rythm section, plus the Legend that is Stu and Bruce's Bag Pipe Guitars! 😁❤ I know everyone says this shit on here but This Lot are a properly underrated Band.
Я был 18 летним пацаном, до армии.И был я на том концерте. Наши группы, тогда ещё в СССР , были поти все на разогреве, кроме одной..."Бригада С"! Она выступала после Big Country." Бригада" зажгла так, что я до сих пор не могу, и не хочу оправиться о т этого оркестрового "мощя" энергии, ВСЕХ ДУХОВЫХ и ЭНЕРГЕТИКИ ВОКАЛА и Гарика.
I’m sooooo SAD for this guy! I’ve been there & did it,... thank God that I didn’t do it right!! Bless your heart Stuart Adamson & your soul!! ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 RIP ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Listening to this on the island of Jura with a glass of 10yr old Jura single malt in my fist and it’s just sublime as if it could have been written for this place, Slainte!
They really didn't like that comparison. I've seen it brought up in an old interview somewhere here on youtube & the whole band sort of groan in unison at the suggestion. As a guitarist myself, I suspect they're just using a similar scale to classic bagpipe music & that's where the similarity comes from. Whatever it is it's awesome, & unique in rock guitar playing. Phenomenal band.
@@myfrequencies1912 More than just the use of major scales and trills. The guitar tone in particular is evocative of pipes. Lots of compression before distortion, to create smoothly sustaining tones that don't lose harmonics over time. And the pitch shifter detuning also creates thickness like a chorus slightly detuned pipes. It may not have been intended, but I can see where it comes from.
For 25 years, I thought they had a piper in the band! And I thought "What a fantastic piper! Comes on on time and on key every time and plays his notes and drops off!"
@@myfrequencies1912 somewhere in the bowels of YT i have seen a cover where some of the members of The Alarm do a cover of this. in some ways, its even better
I suffered three strokes after taking an overdose of drugs to delete myself, and I have residual effects from it, but I’m glad I failed because I’m still alive to take of my mother who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. I wish Stuart was still alive for his children to one day take care of him.
I just wish that I had not been so pissed out of my mind during the whole of the 80s and had got off my arse to go and see this brilliant band.I am still pissed because of my loss.JimLiverpool.
A super hit by big country, excellent sound, I was unaware of Stuart's unfortunate death, a tragic loss , too often we seem to lose great talent way too soon
Just to add...ordinarily speaking, this would be a phenomenal concert to be at, but the significance of WHERE and WHEN it was just gives me the chills. Imagine being one of those audience members...one of the first to attend a rock concert by a real live western band inside the soviet union...wow.
Oh I love Stuart & I love Tony Butler!! They are so much FUN to watch!! ❤️💃🏻❤️💃🏻❤️💃🏻 I’m so sorry that Stuart couldn’t beat those demons w/alcohol!! He had his whole life ahead of him!! 😢😢😢 Thank goodness that we have these videos to ENJOY! 💖💕💖💕
"In A Big Country" Ha I've never seen you look like this without a reason Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you Shock I never took the smile away from anybody's face And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered Shock, 1, 2 I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive In a big country, dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive Ha Shock
I will always feel that Lindsey Buckingham was the most underrated guitarist of my lifetime but in Stuart Adamson for energy, charisma, and stage presence. Lindsey met his match. This comment is meant as a compliment to both. My best friend hung himself in 1986. My heart is crying, "Why?"
Christ what a band. Lost my husband to covid three weeks ago. He was a big fan. Am getting major comfort listening to Big Country now. God bless you all fans xxxx
@@grahammccready2647 Hi Graham. Thanks for good wishes. Am just past first anniversary of his death. Am keeping going and life looking a lot better. Hope all is well with you. Happy Xmas and New Year
I love HIM!!! I’m sorry he had so many problems in his life, (don’t let your own wheels’ drive you crazy!! However, I can totally understand!! (I have been there & done that),: it’s ALWAYS better in the ‘ morning’..♥️
God love you always Stuart! Fantastic performance from these boys! I will never forget seeing them in twice when I was 18 and how amazingly powerful and brilliant. I still do not understand why they didn't become huge here (America) when so many other crap bands did.
What a great band! To make that guitar sound like a bagpipe, just incredible. If you're so inclined, check out Pete Townsend's video for let my love open the door. With a young Tony Butler.
What this song says is, if you're Russian be proud if you're American be proud if you're from any nation, be proud most of all we should care and love each other ❤
just a thought. when I first heard this song at age 16 I was totally shocked. the threat of a world nuclear event was real. I remember worrying about it. then i heard this song and thought - this ain't U2. I realized after hearing Chance that BC was a band I could never fully understand, but I wanted to, and the music & lyrics were so brilliant, I just thought - go for it. BC has been a true friend. Inspiration. Mirror. I don't credit Stuart for everything, as much as I miss him each day. I credit Mark, Bruce and Tony and Stuart. Listen to that bass line. Listen to perfect beat and fills that would make Peart envious. And rhythm that matches anything. Wonderland still makes me stop breathing.
Oooh I love Steuart Adamson!! Gota tell you, I LOVE Tony Butler!! OMG!! I love this group & this song!! It really breaks my heart w/what happened to Struart... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for replying,you're a very nice person! Now I got what you meant! It's so good to talk with intelligent people here...sometimes it's impossible,most of them are trendy fashion bandwagoners :)
From Prowestern YUGOSLAVIA i say Welcome Scottish in Moskva(Proud to grew up with english,scottish punk ,new wave in 80-thies in FREE Yugoslavia..today in pretty occupied Serbia from Russian neoconservatismus...)
Duane Boswell As fine as Stuart was (and indeed he was), the band was a synergistic effort that easily transcended just Stuart. And it grows a bit tiresome to continue to listen to so many who cannot or do not appreciate the quality of musicianship that is the rest of the band as it and they are far too under-appreciated.
Stupid comment to say anyone member is the band, Stuart was the driving force but he wasnt Mark Brezicki or Tony Butler or Bruce Watson all of whom created the bands unique sound between them collectively and realised with Stuart a fine sound indeed.
Paul Ockenden Absolutely, while Stuart indeed deserves credit for some fine songs and performances, it is INDEED the ENTIRE BAND that makes BC SO special. A fact that is too often overlooked or simply under acknowledged.
@@cejannuzi it goes way beyond the music, but the sound of the band is made up of four instruments and two voices. the other three members of the band are not bit players. they are integral - every one of them - to the magic that happened when their best music was created. stuart is irreplaceable because he was a unique vocalist, a unique and extremely gifted guitar player AND the poet delivering the message driven by the music created by himself and the other three. what happened to the band after he died proves nothing. would Stuart's impending solo career have been a success? the band was the vehicle that allowed him to be the supreme performer he undoubtedly was. Bruce Watson is himself a fantastic player; his parts are original as hell and he hardly ever fucks up. and as for Mark and Tony, they are the engine. both players are technically top drawer and they created some truly unique sounding music. you are talking about a rare chemistry that exists between members of a band which creates an energy that one person alone simply cannot create.
agree on the perfection of these ones. to me, look away, 13v, wonderland and IaBC are up there with the bestest music ever written, like rush's power windows. it's not really music, it's.... i have no words for it, maybe only love is better than that)). and i know it sounds silly, but to me it's like that. small wonder that even Stewart et al. couldn't create something even nicer.
What I was describing was technique of the time. This tune has more feeling in it compared to a song that simply has someone stomping all over it playing crazy fast. So, I agree that its GREAT MUSIC. And it's the Scotts Riffs that Make it Great. Course they ARE SCOTTs. Along with the happy faces they presented on stage made them fun to watch. Little known that the lead singer was really sick and needed mental help. BUT, they stayed away from each other outside playing and never knew he was sick
Some said there was some sort of bloodline connection between me and the black Scotsman and if you knew my real (Complicated) family its certainly plausible, way back then the same people asked me for some sort of a message for these guys and guess what, it was simply "STAY ALIVE"... The song always lifted me, not so much now, weird world...
3rd. THE PROBLEM with FIELDS of FIRE and BIG COUNTRY is that they were SO GOOD and SO NEW to listeners, what with the Scottish marching band riffs and all the FOLK tunes that they "Folded" into their songs JUST FLOORED everyone. So, HOW do you TOP THAT? Almost, almost like what do you do when your FIRST known TUNES do so well across the world? BUT, there are SO MANY BANDS just like this one. They write and produce a TOTAL HIT that EVERYONE likes, I dont know ANYONE that doesnt like this tune,
they were led or allowed themselves to be led towards the middle of the road, when it is proven that the best way to survive long-term is to stay creatively leftfield. they had hits in the uk and were seen as a pop act by anyone who hadn't seen them live or listened in more depth. tunes like the crossing and porrohman showed the band taking a piece of music for a real walk. more progressive rock than pop. the introduction of keys and bvs (although they do sound pretty good on this recording) was a step too far for Mark, and a lot of other fans jumped ship with him. they started off SO original (AND successful!) and ended up american MOR. fucking tragic story. i wish the rest of the band every success and happiness in their lives. Stuart RIP.
Good music is what comes good to the ears,good lyrics and feeling...screw your shredding,you're just thinking about yourself and technique is great but doesn't make you a god...feel the song
No problem and Dude, one thing about me is that I really dont do mean comments on line. I DO state my opinions thats about it. I truly believe that if ALL you have to Say is Negative, Dont Say It. Why is this saying SO IMPORTANT to ME? Because it covers so much. Such as the ME Fallacy. And also keeps my Negativity away from coming back on me as well. Now for the BAND..they COULD have done SO MUCH MORE its a crying shame that their following LPs never did anything over hear. Some of their best
Never get tired of this song.
Me either. That’s why I covered it. ua-cam.com/video/1A4oyNL8Mys/v-deo.html check my version!
Same!!!
The KGB!!! Freak...
You just cannee ❤👍👊
Just frickin' mega talent in every instrument. One of the all time great bands.
Love this clip especially.
Me too!! Awesomeness!!

Listening to this on the island of Jura with a glass of 10yr old Jura single malt in my fist and it’s just sublime as if it could have been written for this place, Slainte!
Extremely AWESOME energy and the beautiful sound of bagpipes from a guitar.
Right on nick, stuart adamson was an amazing guitar player!!@

One of the best drummers but soooo underrated
Christ! You can see the pain and the love in his eyes... makes me cry.
This is one of my all time favorites. Sometimes I put it on repeat when I am on the treadmill!
Saw them in Bristol twice, never to be beaten, saddens me greatly to realise , never again 😢 RIP.....
I suffered three strokes after taking an overdose of drugs to delete myself, and I have residual effects from it, but I’m glad I failed because I’m still alive to take of my mother who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. I wish Stuart was still alive for his children to one day take care of him.
Awwwww, I WISH Stuart took his own ‘advise’ & STAY ALIVE!!
RIP Stuart Adamson 🙏🏻😢🙏🏻😢
To our Celtic roots.
What a band !!! They are incredible live performers
I just wish that I had not been so pissed out of my mind during the whole of the 80s and had got off my arse to go and see this brilliant band.I am still pissed because of my loss.JimLiverpool.
I saw them and they were brilliant. No worries, mate.
Brings me back lots of good memories
Too me❤️😁
Stuart is my hero. This song made me love music again. RIP
I said this before, Stuart loved his fans. RIP
A super hit by big country, excellent sound, I was unaware of Stuart's unfortunate death, a tragic loss , too often we seem to lose great talent way too soon
What a band. I still draw strength from this powerful music.
Love love love!! ♥️💃🏻♥️💃🏻♥️💃🏻 9/23/20
Love you Stuart!! 😢😢♥️💃🏻♥️💃🏻
Love you Tony!! ♥️💃🏻♥️💃🏻
Love you, Bruce?!?! ♥️💃🏻♥️💃🏻

you are absolutely right .... historical. I am sure the band members realize that.
these are comments i make sure to remember every time i play this song. humbles me real quick. to be apart of this moment would be otherwordly.
Exactly!! History in the making!
Just hearing Bruce's guitar. Brilliant. Never got recognition he deserves.
this is the best version of this song on video !
Oh I love Stuart & I love Tony Butler!! They are so much FUN to watch!! ❤️💃🏻❤️💃🏻❤️💃🏻
I’m so sorry that Stuart couldn’t beat those demons w/alcohol!!
He had his whole life ahead of him!! 😢😢😢
Thank goodness that we have these videos to ENJOY! 💖💕💖💕
Surely this band and the Skids are two of Scotland's finest ever groups!!
One of the best live bands I've ever seen!
I love Big Country.
👊💥🎤🎸🥁 ❤️👍 X
"In A Big Country"
Ha
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
Shock
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child
In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
Shock, 1, 2
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Ha
Shock

Devil is pork, dirty. He or she is with God now,
Wow, I think this is the best live performance that Ive heard of this song. Awesome.

Totally agree. His time had only begun, gone way to early. SENSELESS

rip Stuart Adamson , larga vida al rock !
Love this song! And they're playing it in Russia! 80's were good to Russians.. not so much now... ❤️
You are 100% correct Charles. No need to apologize. Stewart WAS the band.
Sorry for the spelling error. Please forgive me Stuart.

Yea they have been really successful post Stuart.
Lol. The vocals here are better than the Prince's Trust Show *AWESOME* !!!!!!!!!
Makes me happy but 😭

Otra promesa incumplida
Another promise fallen through
Otra temporada pasa por ti
Another season passes by you
Nunca quité la sonrisa de la cara de nadie
I never took the smile away from anybody's face

En un gran país, los sueños se quedan contigo
In a big country dreams stay with you
Como la voz de un amante enciende la ladera de la montaña
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Mantente vivo, aquí vamos
Stay alive, here we go
Pensé que el dolor y la verdad eran cosas que realmente importaban
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
Pero no puedes quedarte aquí con cada esperanza que has destrozado
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
No espero cultivar flores en un desierto

Pero puedo vivir y respirar

Stay alive
Así que saca esa mirada de aquí, no te queda bien
So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
Porque sucedió no significa que hayas sido descartado
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Levanta la cabeza del suelo, sube gritando
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Clama por todo lo que siempre quisiste

they were led or allowed themselves to be led towards the middle of the road, when it is proven that the best way to survive long-term is to stay creatively leftfield. they had hits in the uk and were seen as a pop act by anyone who hadn't seen them live or listened in more depth. tunes like the crossing and porrohman showed the band taking a piece of music for a real walk. more progressive rock than pop. the introduction of keys and bvs (although they do sound pretty good on this recording) was a step too far for Mark, and a lot of other fans jumped ship with him. they started off SO original (AND successful!) and ended up american MOR. fucking tragic story. i wish the rest of the band every success and happiness in their lives. Stuart RIP.

No problem and Dude, one thing about me is that I really dont do mean comments on line. I DO state my opinions thats about it. I truly believe that if ALL you have to Say is Negative, Dont Say It. Why is this saying SO IMPORTANT to ME? Because it covers so much. Such as the ME Fallacy. And also keeps my Negativity away from coming back on me as well. Now for the BAND..they COULD have done SO MUCH MORE its a crying shame that their following LPs never did anything over hear. Some of their best
