RIP Stuart , your daughter has a PHENOMENAL voice like you ❤
I wish she'd join them on vocals in 2024
I was at this concert and saw them there a couple of years later. Still say to this day they were one of the best live bands of that generation If not all time. Always thought they were better in a smaller arena where the crowd was right on top of it all. Always came away from a BC gig knackered, deaf and in a state of joy. RIP Stuart you are sorely missed by all your fans.
You lucky sod!!
Stuart was our greatest song writer ever and a fantastic musician.We will never see or hear his like again in our lifetime.
Fully agree, have one of their CDs permanently in the car (the one with Eiledon). Mind you, Biffy Clyro gives us some hope.
Forgot to add. Always thought the Big Country bassist was fantastic - always on point. And, Simple Minds lead guitar played embellishments perfectly - almost ignoring he was lead. Scotland has given us plenty. Greetings from Ireland.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother recently :)
@Angel Jax yup, have been using Instaflixxer for months myself =)
Agree.I can’t name a better Scottish guitarist/singer/songwriter.Like someone says the Biffy have came close early on in their career but Adamson was a one off.I was too young to see them live but what I’d give to see them with him fronting
nuff said RIP
I was at this concert. They were always fantastic and this was no exception. They played an important part of my seminal years. Nothing like them these days.
I have been obsessed with the song "In A Big Country" for a while now after noticing it on Sirius radio while working my restaurant job and finally am digging into their other material. I consider myself a pretty well versed music fan but I am absolutely blown away that I haven't seen this band's name come up more often in popular culture. Every song is immediately captivating. The energy in their live videos is always through the roof. I cannot get enough. I was sad to discover the singer's fate. To whoever cares to know... his and the band's legacy continues to reel in new fans in the year 2022.
Thank you for this music. Cheers!
I care to know! 😊 Awesome that the younger generation discovers this awesome and mind blowing band. It is bittersweet that Stuart left us, but his legacy lives on. His daughter is now a music artist in her own rights! Come up screaming: Stay Alive!

What a performance. I wish I could have seen them live. RIP Stuart. Thank you for the music!!!!
My little brother turned me onto this group back in 1987. Have been a big fan since then, no one sounds like they do, they are one of a kind and miss them.
Just sent this to my sisters lad he’s 17
Feel great passing this on❤
My youth
That version of Rockin in the Free World is absolutely fantastic with some brilliant guitar work. The solo perfectly captures the mad world we live in and Stuart clearly loved playing it. Oh and the rest's not too shabby either😀. Lucky lot to have been there!
I’ve seen a few bands, local pub bands, mega stadium bands......none of them, nobody has come close to Big Country live........seen them probably 10 times since 1986, in all their guises, and the music doesn’t die
Luckyyyyt
hearing big country's takes me back to being a 16 year old in the early 80s great times. loved this band rest in peace to the lead singer a great musical artist
Ah, the good old days growing up! I remember finding The Crossing while browsing through vinyl records in my local store. After listening to it I looked up their other published albums and then buying them as they got released.
Learning about Stuart’s death was a shock. I was living in the US since April 2000, so I learned about it in US news media.
It was a sad, sad day…
But I’m glad BC are still together and rocking in the free world!
Guitar Legend!
Truly great songwriter.
I saw many,many,many live gigs, concerts in the 1970's, 80's & 90's....very few were as memorable as Big Country at Phimore Country Club, Saltburn, circa 1982 - 84, Jumping & Rocking, heaving....just like at this gig!
Memorable concert.
Memories of great days.
Such a truly amazing, gifted human being and gave everything he had to us fans. He was the real deal. Rip Stuart -you are so loved and missed ❤
I was there, 21 years old. Best show i ever saw.
Rip Stuart you were truly amazing missed by many ur music is legendary and will never die 🙏
Can watch this over and over, Stuart and the band knew how to get the crowd jumping, legend R I P
And I regularly watch this over and over!
Amazing performance from an amazing band.
How much we still miss you Big Man ...
brilliant...miss you Stuart.
First band I saw LIVE, on the Steeltown Tour at the NEC Arena, Birmingham. The Cult were the support act.
I'd bought the Crossing Vinyl LP, then their second offering came, Steeltown with Gatefold Sleeve. I bought numerous imported vinyls and follow up Albums and CD replacements and my love for this band grew.
Was blown away when I was given the opportunity to see them. Such a great show, atmosphere, and fan base. Stuart and the boys were so underrated and underplayed on radio.
From Stuart and Bruce's guitar harmonies, Tony's thumping base lines, and the percussion and drums, and what drumming from Mark. Saw them a few times after that but nothing will take away the images of that first gig. Shame Smart phones weren't invented then 😕 but thank god we have footage like this to remind those who view these video's of how great they were, from the crackly vinyl offerings to their full on LIVE performances. A class act. RIP Stuart, 20yrs now, but still music to my ears
I was at this gig also. I remember The Cult got a rough ride from the mosh pit BC fans. I am a big fan of The Cult also and saw them in Halifax recently...
The respect and dedication he had to his audience. He connected. He gave it all back to us. Thank you Stuart
great Stuart...i hope you are happy now...in a magnificent place where there is no pain...
1990,omg,how sad and brilliant is this,31 years since this concert tour, feels like yesterday 💔
No conocía este concierto....guapísimo...y mira que les he escuchado...tengo casi toda su discografía....muy grande Stuart!!!
Rip stuart.Your songs will live forever.
THIS BAND WAS AMAZING--THE BEST IN EUROPE -AMERICA NEEDED THEM ...STUART WAS BRILLIANT-EMOTIONALLY TRUE AND THE BAND TALENTED BEYOND MERIT. THANK YOU SCOTLAND FOR INSPIRING SUCH GREAT MUSIC..lew jones
Lew Jones: Still is, still is amazing! 😊
One of the best live bands to play on this planet,still miss Stuart to this day thankyou lads for those good days much treasured.
Can't think of anything better than Big Country in their prime. God bless you Stuart. X

One of the best bands ever. Every time I hear them I feel good. RIP Stuart.
Bc forever still go c m when they play rip stuart
He sure is missed. I love their music so much. Stuart was such a brilliant songwriter and musician.
Yes, I haven't watched a vid as recent as this, whenever I think of them I always search for their concert a Hexagon Theatre, Reading
That's true.
There are no words for this performance.
Stuart is so energetic and full of enthusiasm !
He seemed so wired this concert, so animated, and so much into it. One of the greatest ever...god bless you Stuart.
I am in there somewhere....bouncing !! An amazing gig . RIP Stuart .
Luckyyyyy
Me too. Young and wild. Miss those days.
What a fabulous but so underrated band. Criminally so aswell..This cover shows that.
Fields of fire with the laurel and hardy theme tune is just epic. Thank you big country. An absolute force of musical nature
Probably the best band I ever saw...what a legend Stuart was
I would give anything to be able to go back in time to that night!!!!!!!
The Town & Country Club or the Forum Kentish Town is one of my favourite venues - All that happy dancing takes me right back to my youth - My three fav live bands back in those days were Big Country - the Saw Doctors & the Pogues.
Try to imagine the joy it must be to play to such a responsive crowd
Stewart was to Scotland that John Lennon was to England. Great band underrated
This video brought me so much joy , what an amazingly brilliant band. I still believe their debut album is the greatest debut from a band ever , not one dud note and have listened to it thousands of times in the last 40 or so years and loved every minute every time. Stuart Adamson you'll never be forgotten....thank you.
The BEST rock group of 80s. RIP Stuart 🙏
Seen b,c when I was a pup brilliant live band one of Scotland’s best.
The power and the drive of this band was inspirational...
What. A. Guy. Pure as gold. Pars Fan and Dunfermline appreciates you Stuart. God Bless. Coyp xx I sat on your bench not long ago. I am sure your family are prospering ☺️
r.i.p. stuart 🖤🏴
Here they are ….one of our most underrated bands ever ..damn these guys are and where phenomenal players ..remember when I was at sec school back in the day … brilliant never forgotten
Brilliant gig. I'm there somewhere, right in front of Bruce. I remember being excited because the first song was the rarely seen live Restless Natives. One of the best live bands I've seen. That feeling of being soaked with sweat and then hitting the cool, fresh air outside the venue. Nothing like it. RIP Stu.
Every BC gig was a sweat session, jumping for 2 hours , wish I could do it all again !
I sometimes think how can someone so talented have took his own life, he had loads to live for, hard to think 11 years after this performance he's no longer with us 😥
It happens, just as we think people are content with their lives
You can't understand their minds, even the happiest ones, you don't have to be a sad or depressed person
One of my best mates commited suicide ( age 39)
He was always a great laugh at school, but it could of been something to do with the loss of his Father, money, Marriage, life is awful when you just can't sort things out to keep everyone happy
I don't think Stuart, was a sensitive Man, but he must of been going through shit times that the alcohol made his thoughts get darker
I don't believe he was another Kurt Cobain, 🙏
We all have our demons
I think he was murdered. They found him in a closet hung. Just like David Carridine. Carradine was murdered.
I used to think the same thing until I learned he suffered from depression and alcoholism. He was sick and he needed help and I'm sorry no one could provide that help to him. I would want Stuart to know that he is missed and loved and I hope he's found peace.
Stuart had 3 bottles of wine so I would blame it on the drink & being overwhelmed & alone.
I 'd say that last marriage put him over the edge. He had been gone from home for 5 weeks, hitting all the bars & ending it in Hawaii.
before he did that so he would n
been
seen them live on the Queen concert at Knebworth they were brilliant i was so impressed went out at bought all they had released.....
One word - CLASS. Last gig at the barras was a night I never wanted to finish
Genial top of the pops live everrrrrr❤❤
Look at the crowd at 34:26 ... it's so amazing 🤩
Massively under-rated band, but fantastic to see live. Miss those days of jumping about at the front like a loon. RIP Stuart
I’ve seen Big Country several times over the years (pre 21st century). This is how I remember it, just stunning 💙🤍💙
Absolutely love big country one of the best bands around rip Stuart Adamson ur music will live on 👌👍
Those gigs were joyusus.Thinking of Stuart and this sad anniversary.A true class act.
What a band 👏 👌
Thanks for the music Stuart and the band , I saw BG 4 times, mostly by luck tbh , always spot on . Legend . RiP xx
their music is so brilliant am loving seeing these concerts!
I will admit as a young child I thought he was also the lead singer of AHA and then flew Airwolf on weekends......such is the childs mind!
😆
🏴🥃🥃🥃there nothing wrong With that 🤗
@misterwillguitar - I have *always* thought Stuart in BC's early days had looked quite similar to ol' Morten Harket! 😀
Just to echo so many of the comments below - best band ever! I was fortunate to see them a few times at the Hummingbird in B’ham. Total CLASS. We miss you Stuart, RIP.
Reminds us all just how fantastic Big Country were. This is them at their absolute best!! And Mark, Bruce and the new line up aren't too bad at the moment either....
Best band ever.
Spectacular!
Brilliant. The 2 dislikes mustn’t be music fans.
Deaf and blind
And Numb
What a great band, so anthemic. The first several bars, and crowd reaction, of Fields of Fire are magnificent.
Best opening to a concert got the crowd going loved it what great times .
fucking right!!! greatest concert!
Hard to find the words to adequately describe how good this is.
Indeed, and no need - Just give a good listen with volume loud
His 💙 🔥
Stuart said it all
What an amazing gig ! I love Stuart’s Bert weedon masterclass half way through field of fire.
Great band I always feel ,as most do I am sure , a mixture of pleasure and pain watching now , what a loss Stuart was.
Great energy the crowd are bonkers.
Fantastic thanks whoever posted it.
Absolutely Awesome,
one of the best performances ever recorded!!!
Such a great band, one of my all time favs. How much do we miss Stuart? Big love ❤️
Killer band!!
seen this band many times on different festivals, and i lay this music still evey day.
Reat in peace Stuart>> so many good memories!!!!!!!
Stupendous.
Thank you so much for posting this, I used to have a VHS recording of this which i must have almost worn out I played it that often! I was gutted when my tape collection was lost to damp and have been looking for this for ages.
RIP Stuart
Refreshing to hear rock music not soaked in blues clichés 🤘
Iraq invaded Kuwait about a week before this was filmed. Our partying days in Europe were limited as the Berlin Wall fell and we began to deploy to the Middle East to eject the Iraqi Army from Kuwait. My life was never the same. I'm glad I can come here and enjoy the music from that time in my life.
Come back to me should be the Scottish anthem, sung at the rugby, imagine that, would be amazing!
Had to come watch a few live videos on this day. RIP Stuart
Looked like a great gig, only just starting to appreciate how good this band was after all these years.
You have a lot of good catching up to do .there worth if 👍😷
All Bc's Albums Are Fantastic.
one of the best, if not the best ever live performance by anyone! like hearing real Mozart playing live! breath taking!
I was there, near the back. Loved it.
Awesome!
Bruce Watson's karate kick @4:12 is awesome !!!!
Outstanding, Stuart on top form there, BC Simply the best
I've just rediscovered this brilliant band, R.IP Stewart. Truly one of the greats.
This music soars
Such power
Truely, truely unbelievable.
Hands down my favorite rendering of Restless Natives.
My life just pass by..Love this band!! Rip Stuart..
Stuart ❤
Best of The best.
As well as their myriad of original material they are also a brilliant cover band, which highlights their brilliant musicianship. Eclectic is one of my favourite BC albums. Their Neil Young covers are just awesome. I hope you are in a happy place Stuart.
What a concert, saw them 84 wished I’d have seen them more!!!
Great band.. brings back memories
Band: Hey, are you playing the main riff or a solo?
Stuart: Yes.
😂😂😂
There will never be another, RIP brother ❤
What a brilliant crowd! In the days were people danced instead of holding their phones in the air
True, it was a total different generation back in the 80/90s for gigs
I was lucky enough to see BC twice👍
I agree with that a 100 percent !!
