    FIELDS OF FIRE
    GERMANY 1995
    Between a father and a son
    Between the city and the one
    Before the teacher and the test
    Before the journey and the rest
    The shining eye will never cry
    The beating heart will never die
    The house on fire holds no shame
    I will be coming home again
    400 miles without a word until you smile
    400 miles on fields of fire
    Between a woman and a boy
    Between a child and his toy
    Between a woman and a boy
    Between a child and a toy
    Before the following of the west
    Before the journey and the rest
    400 miles without a word until you smile
    400 miles without a word until you smile
    400 miles on fields of fire

    The greatest live band in the world! Totally in touch with their audience. I would trade all of the live concerts I've seen in my lifetime to have seen them live in the summer of 1984 when I graduated and these guys ruled the new wave airwaves! Rest in peace Stuart ... your music lives on and it is your legacy.

      I'll sure say, big country fucking rocked!!!!! definitely not the same without stuart, look at it this way, stuart gave his all, poured the soul of scotland into his guitar, singing all of it, and he definitely went out with a shout! -come up screaming! I liken it to mel gibson playin william wallace-another SCOTTISH thing there :) when right before his head gets chopped off, he yells F R E E D O M )))))))))))))))))))))))

    I saw Big County at Newcastle City Hall about 85 I think. After the fist song the PA blew. They went off briefly came back on and the same thing happened again. They went off for longer this time maybe 20 mins. When they came back on they played for 2 hours. At the end of the set Stuart said we’re really sorry about the start of the show. We want you to pick up a ticket on your way out and we’ll come back in two weeks time and play a free gig for you all. They then played at least two encores. The gig was amazing full stop but to come back and play for us again on what I believe was one of few nights off they had on the tour was something incredibly special.

    I'll always be thankful for the day my late brother dropped a record into my lap and said "play that." It was 1979 and the record was "Into the Valley" The day I discovered Stuart Adamson. Thanks bruv. Stuart was the best. What he created is genius. Can only wonder what we've all missed out on since he went.

    I saw them in the early 90's in Leeds. They were brilliant! What a sad loss.
