Big Country - Restless Natives (Unofficial Promo)

This is little home made promo video for the Big Country song Restless Natives taken from the cult film of the same name. I always thought this should have had a single release in its own right so I thought I'd create a promo video using clips from the film mixed in with live footage of the band playing the song like they used to do with this kinda thing back in the glorious 80's. It's not perfect but it's ok. I know the live footage is from a few years later but you work with what sources are available.

This is a fantastic tribute! Thanks for taking the time & effort with putting this video together. Early Big Country recordings I think are their best. I'm from southern England but I saw Restless Natives when it first came out in 1985 & I've watched it many, many times since then! I've only been to Edinburgh a few times & I've been to the Highlands on a few occasions too but I'm glad I saw the Sighthill tower blocks before they were pulled down as part of Wester Hailes redevelopment. The redeveloped area looks VERY different now from when Restless Natives was made! I heard that the 'money' that The Wolfman was throwing out was (obviously) fake with an image of Boy George instead of the Queen and it annoyed the shop workers for many days afterwards as kids were trying to buy sweeties with them! Vince said in an interview that when he was involved in making that film was the first time that he visited the Highlands! But yes, Thanks once again for making this wonderful tribute.

Absolutely brilliant, Keith. A superbly made video that’s very much how it may likely have been. It’s the single that never was but should have been. R.I.P Vincent Friell.

This is absolutely terrific. A lump in my throat and goosebumps watching this. This should have been a single 100%. What a fabulous job you have done Keith. Thank you so much for sharing.

Fantastic tribute and video... was smiling at the bang on lip synching of Stu's live performance with the recorded version; excellent job right there. Stu's music was incomparable in terms of majestic epic rock... NO one did it like him.
