When I go to heaven the first person I am going to ask for is Stu. I can't wait to introduce myself to him and let him know how much joy he has given me over the years. RIP Stu. Such a shame. I wish he had a do over.
,,,,,my God!, a Performance for the Age's!, If I was only able to See one Big Country Show, it would of been this One! total perfection from Everyone in the Band, esp,. Bobby Valentino, and the Lad's on the Bongo's!,,,,,Bobby could of played on a lot more Song's,. his added melody would of been a real plus on a lot of BC's track's,.

Bruce, your Musical range is astounding!, Tony!, as always, One of the Best Bassist's in the Business!, and I wish You were still w/ the Band!,There is No replacing You Brother,,,,ever!, and Mark!, I think it was your Drumming that first endeared me to the Big Country sound, way back in 1981!!,,, I have practically every One of your Album's, and I must say that your Music pulled Us through a lot of Dark times! during the Gulf War!, I think I wore out the Head's on my BoomBox rolling across the Desert with your Music Blasting through our Vehicles "Gerry-Rigged" 500 watt Speaker system!!, and I think that Big Country was Loved by almost Everyone that I knew in the Military!!, Brit, Canadian, Ozzy's and Kiwi's!,,,,,,Yank's Not so much!,. LoL!
Big Country was basically banned from airplay in the United States because "Flame of the West" was critical of Ronald Reagan. Been looking to that news article for years, but that's why they aren't as well known.
I saw B.C. a lot in the 80s and they were - and remain - the greatest live group I've ever seen (there have been a lot). But if I was to be given just one gig, to relive every day for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Absolutely magnificent and quite unsurpassed.
@@gareth630 lol mate ;) or a wee shin dig in dunfermline just us family and friends that knew them. thats mine anyway. but i bet some people would kill for my memorries lol
Westy Saw the boys 25 times consider myself extremely lucky. Was also here at Dingwalls the night they filmed the show. Shows the Diversity of the greatest live band I ever see. One regret not seeing them at Barrowlands. Some never got to see them at all tho!
was drinking some cans of corona with stuart in an irish pub yesterday, home of the brave, he flashes music through my veins and brain, and it's all ok he said, we´re all go to heaven, but never die.
What an awesome song, will live forever. My local station, during the Iraq war, was asking for song requests. I dared them to play this. No surprise, too chicken to do that. The best anti war song ever!
Im a musciain..I just do not understand how some one who had all this could end it ...the way Stuart did..I will never understand it ..he gave us sooo much..I dont think he understood what he meant to his fans..RIP MR. Adamson.
I absolutely LOVE this band! I wish I had known them way back when. Oh well, I missed Freddie Mercury too, if you can believe that! I'm making up for lost time though. R.I.P......Freddie and Stuart.
treceratops: Believe me, BC might not have been as huge here as some other acts from that era but they have their share of devoted, never-failing AMERICAN fans. I've been a HUGE fan since I first heard "In A Big Country" on the radio, and I am now, thirty years on. And always will be. God bless 'em.
3qrtnorth It’s great to know the band has a solid following across the pond as they have here. Once your hooked there’s never been anything quite like em since. Unique, classy and musically so talented.
Remember i only have 1 ear dude working has set haha lol i love these guys thank you my dearest best friend honest to goodness my deceased brother thank you high five hug dad pops for me too there's not one second your both you 2 and my offspring and children their children going vividly through my minds eye true facts fondness matters it sure looked sand switched ways to process never gets easier people lie but hey be yourself around those enjoy you for real be vague sane story but less personal touches breathe my sorrow loss.. Ik it's all 😊👍
+Peter Lowe - you've got it a bit backward ... Appalachian folk has it's roots in the Gaelic folk at the heart of Big Country's music. (except for the Arabic percussion in the mix of course :) )
Well I wasn't expecting that! Not surprised to see Bobby Valentino involved given his Men They Couldn't Hang connections. Not sure about this yet, but worth a few listens.
Ah , je ne suis pas comme ça !!!! Tu avais la prio !!! surtout que c' est toi qui m'a fait découvrir ce merveilleux dvd !!! et je te fais de la pub, en plus !!! bisou au Boss JL. Miss Lim
SuperPissflaps It was him. I was there that night. Afterwards he was signing picts of himself. I pissed myself laughing cos I thought it looked like him as well. Was at Dingwalls Camden lock incredible night.
Je me doutais bien que certaines "âmes charitables" de la Frog Connection étaient dans les starting blocks pour palier à la disparition de feu Pascal Obistro. Héhéhé. Je ne leur ai pas laissé l'occasion de me rendre ce service !!! Hahahaaaaaaaa !!!! JL
Mais je sais bien que t'es pas comme ça et que tu ne ferais pas une chose pareille! Surtout que nous avions eu un partage très "équitable" du DVD ! Hummm.... Dailleurs t'es tellement sympa que tu vas bientôt me dire ton âge !!!
@locheelad2 aaaahh.......this is an ANTI WAR song............it was written about the British involvement in Falklands Islands fiasco....and unfortunately this version does not have the power of the original. I saw BC live in '84. this pales by comparison.

Steeltown is one of the greatest albums of all time. Felt that way since the day it came out. You are so missed Stuart RIP
If I die in a combat zone, box me up and ship me home, RIP Stu X
We miss Stuart.. A lot... R. I. P. friends, hope you find the right place.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

combat rock, one of the best song ever written, hands down

Whitley Bay ice rink was unreal, I cried when Chance was played. 6'5" lunatic brought to tears by music. RIP Stuart

Wow !!, love this version. Wish I'd seen this gig.
This whole concert was pure musical genius.
I agree !

Violinist is Bobby Valentino from the Fabulous Poodles and the Electric Bluebirds.
lovely to hear again after 30 years, still great!
this was a unique and fantastic gig gems falling everywhere
Stuart Adamson put together a Sessions Band many, many years before Bruce Springsteen cottoned on that it is extremely good fun...
amazing drum solo by Mark @ 2:43
This is almost a cover of themselves. I like what stuart did with the live band.
Wonderful!!!!!

i never had imagined, that this song could kick ass without the e-guitar line...but it does. grooves like hell. i love it. thanks for sharing.
God bless you Big Country and RIP Stuart Adamson, best band ever....
Our name will never die as time will be for ever,
Why didn't I know this was here? This is awesome! R.I.P. Stuart. Your heart and your soul will live on in your music.
Yes, RIP Stuart. You were gone too soon.
The violinist played on The Bluebells "Young at Heart" as well. He actually wrote the intro to that,
My god, what a jewel....
Brilliant. Totally different from any other versions. ❤️❤️
one of my fav big country songs.
great!!
I have given this a few listens and it is actually very good - Almost appalachian folk roots feel to it A good song anyway you cut it - LOVE IT !
+Peter Lowe - you've got it a bit backward ... Appalachian folk has it's roots in the Gaelic folk at the heart of Big Country's music. (except for the Arabic percussion in the mix of course :) )
+mark schlipper Yep l know that. Doesn't mean to say that you cannot have cross-fertilization. !
it's all in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion%27s_Seed
If you REALLY wanna get into it, read Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America, Vol. 1
Well I wasn't expecting that! Not surprised to see Bobby Valentino involved given his Men They Couldn't Hang connections. Not sure about this yet, but worth a few listens.
He is the amazing Bobby Valentino !

Tout à fait, Isa, surtout qu'on a l'impression de les voir en 3D !!!
Géniale!!! MERCI Au Boss.

of wich year is this video .and can you buy it on dvd??
Great band such a lost .......
Si tu les avait pas envoyées , je l ' aurais fait !!!! Il ne faut pas priver les fans de tels trésors !!! Bravo , Boss :) !!!!
They knock the spots off of U2. Sorry to be negative but these guys are for real deal. Should be a much more prominent band
what the f--k, really? someone voted thumbsdown on this? do you prefer the sounds of cats wailing in the alley instead?
the guy on the bongo looks like ron jerremy
have you seen what he's banging the bongo with? ;-)

Shows the diversity of superb musicians and musicianship to be able to do a cover of their own song.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan but this rendition does nothing for
me. Mandolin, acoustic guitar, bongos? 🤔 I want my Big Country back! 😎
