I was 17 then and as usual I took them for granted. I'm 53 now and am loving all that Stuart did for us. I have never been more grateful for Big Country in my life. Stuart... you are in all our hearts.
Too right i am 64 and a true fan in the days.died 3 wks ago recovered am feeling different now used to be a hardcase,get very emotional cryinf now about ny nusic heoes who have passed,stuart lannegan owen
Stuart would have turned 63 today..11 April 1958 Manchester - 16 December 2001 Honolulu. He took his own like a few miles from where I live.. So sad. We you Love Stuart..
They all look like they're having the time of their lives up there, rocking out, giving it all to the crowd and enjoying the energy of the crowd feeding back to them. This is how I prefer to remember Stuart - smiling, playing and singing and for that moment, loving life. RIP to him: to the rest of us, Stay Alive!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a TRAGIC story in my life!! I’m so sorry for this awesome sweetie pie!! WoW, it breaks my heart to see some one cut down in their young life!! RIP Stuart Adamson!! ♥️😢♥️😢♥️
Stuart was a genius and Bruce is just Bruce, but Mark and Tony were one helluva rhythm section. Awesome band and no mistake. To see them live was amazing. Especially in the Barrowland
ARNOLD MCGLASHAN Flew to England in 1998 to see them play in the upper Lake District at a community center. The original venue canceled because the staging didn't get approved. The promoter quickly found another venue. Met the boys backstage after the show. Nicest guys ever!!
It was an honour and privilege to sed this great band live! Talking of great, when the jam split in 82, thank god we had big country to take over their mantle and still keep it real. R I P stuart. Legend!
I saw them at the Hollywood Palladium with my best friends from school. It was the greatest show and the best night I will never forget how happy Stuart looked at the reception they were getting in Los Angeles. I love Steeltown to this day.
seen them live at knebworth 86.....if queen were not the main band that day i would have said it was BC, the next day i went out and bought all the BC albums....brilliant live..brilliant on vynl......so sad stuart didnt feel that way....what a tragic loss to the music world...RIP Stuart thank you for what you have left us to listen to...
Played on two Pete Townshend albums. Including the singles, "Let My Love Open the Door and Rough Boys". The Pretenders - "My City Was Gone" and "Back on the Chain Gang" I agree. Fucking amazing, what a talent...
Big Country at their best and 2 of their best songs. Will always remember you Stuart, thanks for the music that gave me so much joy and inspiration over the years. RIP
Knebworth think it was 85 or 86 Queen , Status Quo and Big Country I went to watch Queen and ended up falling in love with Big Country Stuart was amazing God Bless his soul.
OMG, he’s sooooo missed, having done/tried the SAME thing, (I totally understand), but tomorrow is ALWAYS ‘better’, I’m so sorry this poor guy/genius felt so desperate to end his life!! He’s such a doll & he is missed & loved ( of course, me) by his fans!!! RIP Stuart Adamson!! He looks soooo HAPPY here! 😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️
Big Country - A mais gentil de todas as bandas. Eu gostaria de ter conhecido Stuart Adamson! Big Country - The kindest of all bands. I wish I had met Stuart Adamson!
This is the 1st time I’ve heard this & I LOVE it!! Stuart is so cute & he truly loves this song too, they ALL are enjoying this time! RIP Stuart Adamson! ♥️🙏🏻💖🙏🏻
22 years ago we lost Stuart. 16 December 2001 Honolulu, Hawaii A few miles from where I live.. Best Western Plaza Hotel I was a fan of BC from the beginning.. I was in disbelief..
I BET his buddy’s were devastated!!!! OMG!! Tomorrow is ALWAYS a better day! My heart is broken that this happy go lucky guy took his own life, I tried that too, it didn’t work, thank God!! RIP Stuart Adamson ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lots of accolades for Stuart, deservedly, but how 'bout some love for Tony Butler!! Solid X 1000.
Greatest thing about this video is not one cell phone. Everyone just enjoying the music and being present! 80s rocked!
Today's young can't even THINK without their phones telling them what to do ....
Omg yes thank you
you probably couldn't think without TV's or radios telling you what to do, grow up and accept that things change but stay exactly the same
Totally agree, David - people are just having a blast, dancing & listening! As it should be!
Killed Stiart.
I was 17 then and as usual I took them for granted. I'm 53 now and am loving all that Stuart did for us. I have never been more grateful for Big Country in my life. Stuart... you are in all our hearts.
Soo true I feel the same Great days!!!!
Amen, brother. You and me both. #ripstuart
Same here! 53 and regretting I wasn't a bigger fan back in the day.
Too right i am 64 and a true fan in the days.died 3 wks ago recovered am feeling different now used to be a hardcase,get very emotional cryinf now about ny nusic heoes who have passed,stuart lannegan owen
We all did, thought it was going to last for ever.
This band should have been as big as U2. RIP Stuart.
They were believe me I was a fan of both
fuck u2! i wish stuart got the help he needed!!
They were more talented
@Dominic Brady used to anyway
Stuart would have turned 63 today..11 April 1958 Manchester - 16 December 2001 Honolulu.
He took his own like a few miles from where I live.. So sad. We you Love Stuart..
20 years later and never forgotten by all his fans around the world !!!!
I was there - waving the yellow t-shirt. And what a gig!
HowCool
Sweet !
Right On!
And in the way 🙄
Braw!
This band was one of the reasons that the 80s was the best decade ever.
And the Macc lads
One of the greatest British rock bands ever. Untouchable live!
They were Scottish
@@jameshunt8819 Tis so.
Stuart was Scottish. Bruce was born in Canada, and the other 2 guys are English.
They are Scottish
@@tttappin apart from the members that aren't.
Marks subtle synchopation and ghost notes and Tony’s thumping baselines were the perfect blend of base and drummer locking in!
Who else thinks Stuart Adamson is the coolest?! His songs comes close to the HEART!
Had a lot of demons
I remember them days...
Your name will never die, Stuart Adamson
These guys should have been colossal. One of the top bands, if not the top band, of that era.
Tony is a superb bassist.
Boy you got that right………Rip Stuart, one of the many days a little more music died. Feel so sorry for todays kids!!😢
I was there ❤, Seinäjoki Finland 1986. I had such a crush on this band! I was 15. Love Big Country, miss Stuart RIP
Minäkin olin menossa katsomaan, mutta... Vi..taa yhä, kun en nähnyt keikkaa.

This is how I prefer to remember Stuart - smiling, playing and singing and for that moment, loving life. RIP to him: to the rest of us, Stay Alive!
So well said
Greatest thing about Big Country- watch any live performance on here and see how they affect the fans. I've been there. What a band!❤
These guys were oozing with talent.
Loving Stuart's guitar in this. Highly underrated band.
gadgie3 Not underrated at all. Do your research before making such ridiculous comments on social media.

AWESOME
The very definition of "the show must go on"
These guys could really play. So much going on.
