Big Country - See You (Live Vocal Performance) Irish TV, 1999
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2019
- From the UTV show 'Kelly' in Northern Ireland from late October, 1999 (Exact date unknown)
Big Country play to their current single 'See You.'
Of particular interest here is the fact that they are playing to a backing track but Stuart is giving a live vocal performance so it is a unique version from this perspective.
I hope you like it and as always,
Stay Alive!
Gods of music, no less, no more, I don't think I would have made it through life without Big Country to pick me up, motivate me and inspire me.
Great song,all of us BC fans miss Stuart wish he was still around today..
Never forgotten Stu, a Fife legend who rocked the world. Your songs will live on, great memories.
Love this song , it means everything. God Bless
STEWART ADAMSON THE ONE AND ONLY🍺😎🏴😊🙋♂️

this band were superb and so underated i as a 21 yr old in 1983 i heard BC on the annie nightingale radio show i loved skids but when heard harvest home and fields of fire i was hooked saw the stuart bruce tony and mark lineup 19 times saw mith mike peters 5 times and once with the simon bloke no one can replace stuart iv great memories of meet stuart and also bruce ( nd jamie watson nd young bruce nd sandra ) great happy times i love when hear BC on radio best band ever
Such a great band with an underappreciated album.
Should have released grace as a single or dive into me,a fantastic album completely unknown by everyone it’s high up in my favourite albums
Wow...yet again BC...awesome..never seen that before...that song is in my top 15 all time favourites of the boys..outside the norm of what people remember of them...tear to my eye cause he looked contented 😔 RIP Stu...still very sorely missed
stunning... absolutely legendary group
Dive into me would have been a massive hit
Great stuff he looks so different they can't do wrong as far as I'm concerned
100 per cent agreed on that.the best in my book.superb in the 80s and equally superb now.
Seeing this is beyond awesome!! Thank you so much..made my day! They say we all have guardian angels...I hope Stuart is one of mine!!!
Great song great album
Thankyou for the post and the song ironic in many ways RIP Stuart a fan since the 80's they cancelled there Australian tour we were refunded I love BC .
Hi from a fellow Aussie BC fan! We were but I've also still got my ticket. 😃 prized possession of what might have been.
Poetry in motion
Great song from my favourite band,thanks for sharing this👍
One of my favorites
Great find, Andy 👌 And...a nice chorus to this song. I remember there being high hopes for its chart position but it never happened 😔
Remember watching this at the time. A cherished memory. Thanks so much for uploading
But do you remember the exact date, Niall? 🤣 Come on, man I need this info! Lol
Researching that....
just superb!
Andy, as always, many thanks for posting this. As most know, I have been a rabid fan since 1983 and lived through all this. I am constantly amazed at just how much I missed along the way. How have I not seen this clip before?!? The depth and power of the web continues to amaze me. Again, my eternal thanks for sharing all these things.
Hi over on this platform and thanks for the thanks, David! Yes, it's pretty cool what still pops up. I missed most of the TV performances when they happened (wrong country to be living in, BC wise) so it's a big catch up for me too, finding new stuff. 👍
Well said David. 🏆
Great that. Haven't seen this before either. Thanks for the upload once again!
Bruce wins the nicely ironed shirt competition
One of the best mandolin players in the band, according to Stu. ;)
Wow, Stuart is almost unrecognisable here. If it wasn't for his unmistakable voice, I'd swear it wasn't him.
I know, I don't think he suits blonde hair. But that's MHO.
😀

Awe fuck. In bits here.
I think they should have played or made a mix without a string section.
Ironically, it seems this song was about Stuart Adamson himself. Some of the lyrics indicate a wanting to be at peace before leaving. Shortly after this change in Big Country's sound, Stuart did leave us.
Lthey should have said, we play live or not at all.
I think by this stage they would have been grateful for any prime time exposure, which this was.
Stuart was no stranger to mimed or vocal only performances when playing with Skids on Top of the Pops. Subsequently, apart from “The Tube”, “Old Grey Whistle Test” and New Year’s Eve (Ne’erday) presentations, the majority of economic, tv options were to record mimed studio band with simultaneous album/single overdubs. Easy to spot that the drums aren’t mic’d although a guitar/mandolin radio mic could be easily tucked away. So, cheap as chips and the fee for turning up for one song and a minimal rider is all the production company have to worry about.
Anyhoo, great song from a mature themed album revealing some life-worn lyrics and poignant tunes. “Your Spirit to Me” has always struck me as the latter; as dark and visionary as Cash singing, “Hurt”.
Stuart has such a beautiful voice. He doesn't suit blonde hair though. Yay first comment! 😁
Hey, Marley! :)
@@BC1000Stars hiya, how's you? 😁
I very seldom ever post anything negative, but I'm sure the blonde hair was courtesy of his 2nd wife Melanie Shelley (hairdresser, make up artist, etc. to the Stars) and probably played a big part in Stuart's battle with depression & alcohol. I wonder how she sleeps at night..sorry, I'm not trying to piss anyone off..just an opinion.
@@scneese64 yeah I know. Well somedee should've telt her no tae pit blonde on him. The robbing get!
I Concur Wholeheartedly Marley!!!!
This obviously looks a bit fuzzy on a 65inch oled - there’s more than a resemblance of George Michael going on there
What tv show was that
Jerry Kelly Ulster TV North Ireland
I'm sorry they're my young favourite band ever....i loved them, but the later stuff just isn't what i was dreaming of in their earlier stuff.....even the slower songs on steeltown always didn't fit....i reckon they'd have been better going down a 'fishermans blues' way, rather than pseudo usa rock....were always best when at their rawest, emotional, pumped up, joyousness....i.e. the first few albums
Is it me, or do they look really bored?
