    I really wish they’d put out a live album of all these early performances with Alberto and the new members. I can’t stop watching these official vids. They absolutely nailed it.

    Wonderful. Alberto Bravin obviously has a cosmic-scale task on his hands to follow David, but this performance really is crammed full of promise.
    I'm more excited than I ever thought I'd be. RIP David: you will never be forgotten. Now BBT lives on, and we can all rejoice.

    Hard to hear this Big Big Train song and not remember the recent passing of David Longdon.
    It's a mix of emotions of loss for David and hope of realizing the band's determination to overcome and continue the journey. In any case, the music survives, without any loss, in the voice of the new vocalist. The journey continues to the next station. Let’s go together ✨🚂💕

    @graemewright182 Рік тому +9

    This was initially going to be a difficult listen being loaded onto UA-cam so soon after the first anniversary of David Longdon's sad and untimely passing. But the new line-up deserves so much credit for increasing the dynamics of this seasonal song first released five years ago - Alberto Bravin does a sterling performance on vocals while Oskar Holldorf is a very competent and faithful keyboard player and Clare Lindley's slightly distorted violin towards the end is wonderful. Credit too to Dave Foster for a lovely guitar solo. Keep up the excellent work lads and lady
