David Roper performs Ravel’s “Jeux D’eau”
This is my uncle David Roper playing an incredibly difficult piece, one he worked on for a long, long time to get right. His spouse, Horacio, passed away in 2020, and Horacio always loved listening to David work on this piece. He's completed it in Horacio's honor. The moon that appears at the end is a sculpture Horacio created, one of many great pieces. So proud to be related to someone with this level of mind-blowing talent.

Looper Test - I Could Be Happy Here (Big Country Cover)
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 7 lety
Wanted to have a looper for ages. Recently purchased a Line 6 Helix, which has one built in (among tons of other amazing things), and gave it a go with one of my favorite Big Country openings. kerchmusic.com bigcountrypodcast.com
"I Could Be Happy Here" - Big Country Cover ... in a blizzard
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 8 lety
Been wanting to do this song for awhile now, one of my favorites from Big Country. When the U.S. East Coast Blizzard of 2016 hit, I thought, "Now's the time." I almost decided "Now's NOT the time" while walking toward the woods behind my home in three feet of snow (and deeper drifts) carrying a guitar case, tripod and duffel bag, but I bravely soldiered on in the name of artistic sacrifice. Or ...
Blue Healer (Raphaels) Live - First Show Ever - Douglas Corner Cafe, Nashville, 1998
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 8 lety
This amazing document is the very first show ever from the collaboration of Stuart Adamson and Marcus Hummon. Unlike the Big Country show from Nashville in 1999, I did not film this. At this point, the band was still calling itself "Blue Healer." To be honest, I'm not even sure they'd settled on THAT name yet. They would soon change that name to "The Raphaels." You could tell how excited both S...
Big Country - Live in Nashville, 1999, Full Show
zhlédnutí 53KPřed 8 lety
On July 9, 1999, Big Country performed at the Sutler in Nashville, Tenn. The band had been in Nashville filming a video for "Fragile Thing," what would be the first single from the forthcoming "Driving to Damascus" album. I borrowed a friend's camcorder and recorded the event. After all, a Big Country show in the U.S. was a rarity. Little did I or anyone know that this would be the final perfor...

Sean Taylor Tribute Celebrating His Too-Short Career - Best Quality, Original
zhlédnutí 194Před 8 lety
I created this video back in 2007, shortly after Sean passed away. I uploaded it back then and took it down a couple years later for some reason I can't remember, but I've since seen the video copied and posted elsewhere, including here on CZcams. That's fine by me, as it's about Sean Taylor, but what has annoyed me is seeing the original song I chose, "Alright" by Skindred, often changed to so...
I really think Stu's voice got more resonant with age. I remember the 2 shows I saw in '84 - & compared to later live performances like this, he preferred sligtly lower keys to their earliest work. What magnificent music he'd of still been making today were he still with us.
Big Country was much too big to play this Honky-tonk joint but it's cool to see them in a small venue.
💖💖💖
Pull up your head off the floor Come up screaming Best band ever Don’t get me started…
This is fantastic!

I know im going to Nashville . But what bar please? ( i fly to HK soon to look at whats left of KT and the checkerboard hill )
Waste of my time this chat tbh, now if the ozone layer is our protector why arent you protesting prats hitting homes and businesses of the wealthy and stopping space explore VIP shit and challenge the richest to outdo each other in paying mercenaries to patrol the AMAZON RAINFOREST
Really interested to look back on this project. They were cooking up a fusion here that needed more time to be cohesive. While Nashville is great for finding talented collaborators with deep roots in American music, it's a treacherous place to work on a new artistic sound that no one yet knows how to market. These guys were onto something with blending alt country/ celtic/ folk/ singer songwriter poetry. I just wonder if Austin or Chicago would have allowed more time to find their wings and fans without the pressure of trying to break through quickly in Nashville.
Constantly played video in early Best DAYS of MTV (tina
Thank you for sharing. This is so amazing yet so sad 😢. Stuart was a genius RIP Stuart 🙏
Each of them a master of their instrument. Love when they slip into restless natives during wonderland.
Unreal
You still suck.
Someone has nothing to do in his life than hate on people… 😬
Faboulous, as Stuart would put it. So glad I have come across this gig video. Thanks for sharing big music of Big Country in the big world.
i saw big country back in 19 something at the Aberdeen capitiol, probably the crossing tour . What a joyous gig that was. All i remember is bouncing. The audience just bounced and danced and had fun. Killer live band
Never seen this, fantastic!
Appeared in my feed and clicked on it right away. So great to hear them so raw and to see Stuart in happier days. I hope he's in a better place.
Its seems almost criminal that stu is so underated...i kinda wish they would teach his lyrics/open chord progessions at music if you know what i mean.. He is up there with the greatest rock songwriters ever..cobain..lennon..hetfield..dylan...cornell..Elliott Smith etc i could go on. God bless u big man... i wish i had seen u live...i got into big country after he died..i was born in 86. I still dont think ive ever heard a more melodic lead guitar player. Stay alive 🥲
Just discovered this... Just WoW
Big loss
Make no mistake, if you walked in on this show, quite by accident, not knowing anything about Big Country, not knowing about equipment or circumstances, you would be floored and ever grateful for your fate.
They really did a terrible half assed job on Harvest Home in this concert. It’s like they weren’t even trying to play half the music at all.
Guess I saw 'em @ one of their first American shows then - Wake Forest in '84!
Wish I;d seen this brilliant group live
I'm so sad I missed this show
The universe stepped in to make sure there was a camera present.
the best band ever stuart tony mark nd bruce iv been massive fan the latest line up grim apart from bruce nd mark nd jamie does good
Thanks for filming and sharing this. The energy in the room and the talent on the stage really resonates.
At 55, I seem to be contemplative these days. Life is good, and not so good, and messy, and at times joyful. You learn, and end up different places. Some of life is in your hands, and some of it is pure luck, or Just happenstance. Some of it is a cycle, a beginning, middle and and end. There are things to share with people, loved ones, and there’s stuff to do for your individual SELF. How to juggle it all, and make sense of it. We’re limited humans. Some day it will all make sense… That’s the way I’m feeling at 55. I’ve had enough road behind me, to make mistakes, learn from them. Some have a silver lining. What choice else is there to make. Take it and realize it’s messy. Our time here on Earth does not require being perfect. And that’s ok…
Well written perfectly true
Chance was pure magic!!!
I would have just died and gone to heaven when the guitars kick in on Fields of Fire, had I been there
How do you play the rhythm part? Sounds absolutely incredible all round btw, great tribute to the big man with a brilliant song.
Always loved them. Saw them live in Dublin 1987. God rest Stuart xxx
Just Love Stuart's singing/voice, Great Man, watch his videos "ALL" The Time. So Missed!!!! ❤️ You Stuart. Ported on ; 12.16.2021. LOVE YOUR Laught & Smile!!!
Thank you Thomas for sharing this marvelous piece of history. This makes me a bit sad, as I really love their last records; where could this band be, if Stuart was still with us?
Wasn't Stuart in so much comfort here
Stay alive. That's a hard one
I'm so happy to find this video. Thanks a lot!!!!
Awesome!
Wonderful! I'm feeling all kinds of emotions. Thanks so much for posting!
Glad I stumbled upon this… Thank you so much for posting it!
I think they really hit their stride during Dive in to me.
I bought the Crossing on vinyl when it first came out and never looked back. These 4 are the best. The world needs more of this kind of vulgarity.
So complex but beautiful - in every way. What a talent and what a wonderful tribute
Wow...In a Big Country....haunting stuff....damn got something in my eye.
What an absolute treat finding this today! OMG. Thank you thank you thank you Thomas K for sharing it with all of us BC lovers <3 :)
So many of us know and enjoy David's capacity at the piano, and he makes this complex piece sound easy; but this is of course a very special performance and recording, in the memory of his dear Horacio!
Invaluable!! Thanks 👍
