September 2023 and still listening to Big Country. Much Love to All from Knoxville, Tennessee ❤❤❤
Stay strong- my friends-United We Stand💪🏻🙏🏼
Stay alive
divided we fall!
A massive thank you to the band - true gentlemen.
My 8- and 6-year old boys are huge Big Country fans. Took them to the Thame Music Festival on Saturday - the band were so kind and let them on the stage to play guitars on Fields of Fire.
They'll remember that night forever. Dreams stay with you! Thank you Big Country, a great, great band.
That is amazing!!
Watching the crowd dance with such joy makes me miss these days...
😍I know what you mean what a great time
Wasn’t that great
Agreed!@@canadaeast8358
the word there is joy!
Loved this group since 80s , proud to be Scottish 🎵🎶🎸🥁🧚♀️😇🧙💋
A very spiritual, emotional yet truly soulful song that makes you cry and dance proudly to it's Scottish heritage.
what a time it was to be alive! fuck the '60's...gimme the '80's!
RIGHT? Sick of boomer and the 60's!
80's forever! I lived it, it was great!
I tell everybody, that there was no better time to be a teen than the 80's. All the best bands put out their best albums then......
11 April 2020: happy birthday Stuart Adamson. You're deeply missed - your name will never die, your songs will be forever.
That's his birthday? Curse my ignorant soul! Not to my distant next of kin! Damn my soul!!!! But for what's it's worth, God bless Big Country, OORAH!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Damn I wish I got to see them play live. Amazing!!!
Awesome footage of BC in their prime! Best guitar trio ever.🎸🎸🎸
2022 and I'm still chilling to this. Thanks boys. You're still loved.... forever
Simply nothing compares to a Big Country show. So good in every way
1984 is nearly over guy's love it while it's there, coz I'm telling you in 39 year's from were you guy's are all of you will look back and think shit were did that go. ❤ Happy day's. 🎉
So great to see Stuart go down in the audience to embrace the fans. Such a great band and lead singer. Taken from this world too soon.
The audience tells you how good Big Country was. Always tore the roof off the place.
Drove 100 mile round trip in thick fog, in the early '80's to see Big Country.. Well worth the trip..!
Ditto best show I ever saw. (ok it wasnt that foggy for my trip)
R.I.P , one of the greatest guitarists Scotland has ever produced. Stewart Adamson. Hope your having your "Big Country dream with you"...
❤❤😢😢😢💔😔🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yes Pam , you know your stuff. It's just a pity that he chose the way he wanted to go. We can only guess the reasons but I think he couldn't get people and record companies to see his talent. A sad loss for all..
Hi mate, of the same era the late great John McGeoch. Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Armoury Show and PIL.
@@keironfindlay545 His wife had left him and years later his girlfriend left - both because of his drinking. His girlfriend leaving him was "it" for him. I often think that geniuses are not meant for this world.
World has ever seen
Oh i was so lucky to be a teenager at the beginning of the 1980's, no phones to hold up and take away from the performance. This generation have lost something they cannot even comprehend.
Great Band....Great Time! The Brilliant Big Country!
RIP Big man, you’ll live forever 💙💙
All of that generation now in their 50s and going into the 60s and beyond.
Saw big country many times at the Playhouse in Edinburgh ❤❤❤the Hogmanay concert was brilliant.. xxx
guitars that sounded like bagpipes, a genius gone for 21 years, we were so blessed then.
Friggin' killer band.
This song always got my feet moving and stirred my Celtic roots. Love The Crossing!
What a great band!!
He looked so happy and handsome in this
Such a legend and so sad he was not helped when he needed it
Yeah true since his tragic death i cant help but feel he was asking for help in his songs lyrics.
There’s a video about his songwriting and how it could have been a cry for help.
I was lucky enough to see big country several times in the 80s as a dedicated fan,stuart is without doubt the most underrated song writer ,guitar player of his generational the best live band by far.God rest the fabulous stuart Adamson,we miss you.
RIP Stuart.
Love and Miss Stuart ❤️ i feel so sad and hard broken 💔 . Every time I listen to Stuarts songs 🎵 I cry 😢 . Glad we all have the greatest joy in our life ❤️ and had the chance to listen to his songs ❤❤😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
Totally unique guitar sound, drums like galloping horses all generating an awesome feeling, not many can do that.
What an incredible performance. Wish I was there.
OMG THAT MAN COULD SHRED!! I was there when they released this. Always loved this band. I played this cassette until it fell apart."In a Big Country dreams stay with you like a lover's voice,"-one of the most memorable song lines ever written .
The F#%KING 80’s!!! If you weren’t there …. Then you never lived in the best decade & that’s to bad!
Iam from America and I love Big Country
Just Brilliant!!!
Happy 62nd Birthday Stuart.So very sad that you left this life far too early.God Bless you mate,wherever you are now.
Had the honour watching him live in kl a year before he passed. ❤️RIP Stuart
The Crossing sounds like nothing else before or since. Classic
i will never stop listening to Big Country 2024 xx
Fantastic! I remember The Tube as a kid and it was cool as TOTP was so cheesy and wooden being Typical BBC,but C4 was the new channel going forward. RIP Stuart, respect for you and your memory. ✝️🏴
Was a great performance from such an underrated band. Was such a simpler time as well...I really miss the 80's
I love music from the 80’s although I was born in 2006, I agree with you.
In my 20's during the 80's. It was the best of times.
@@deadreckoning6288 Yeah.....you actually had 10 more great years on me!! I was in highschool graduated 1986. *MY HEART BREAKS 💔 FOR KIDS TODAY😥 They will never know what it was like to not be attached to cell phones etc. Remember landlines lol I just fear for them!!!*
Why do you say underrated? They were gods in Scotland and Ireland
@@spmoran4703 I think they weren’t given their proper dues in North America
According to this video, it was shot on my 16th birthday. Awesome 😎
i just want to say in the 80s i hated this group because i was stuck in heavy metal syndrome but as a guitar player and mucisian this touches my heart now im more mature much respect
Me too, dude. Huge metal fan in the 80’s (still am) but I would quietly listen to bands like this. Such a great tune.
Top man.Seen them live bout 5 times.Stuart a talent missed
If I'd known these guys were still around, I'd have seen them, as I was in Scotland last year.❤
Saw BC so many times live!!!.A life affirming band.
Another great song by this band. This song from their first album called The Crossing. The entire album is my favorite. It makes me want to dance.
This crowds the best. When you've been to concert with so much supportive fans incredible moments all great moments.
Remember watching this on the Tube - was never into music before that at the age of 14 - it changed my life forever - saw BC 11 times and U2 44 in total before they became what they are today (sellout) - RIP Stuart
Loved the 80s and big country RIP mr adamson
Four hundred miles!
I think Fields of Fire will always be my favorite song. Words can't describe how in love I am with this song.
its amazing song. sgould be scotlands national anthem,
I can see why.
Mine too. Never gets tired
Just the music alone is so uplifting.
Saw them live with line up 4-5 times, always a barnstormer
I
Love
Big
Country
Incredible 80's song
Between a father and a son
Between the city and the one
Before the teacher and the test
Before the journey and the rest
The shining eye will never cry
The beating heart will never die
The house on fire holds no shame
I will be coming home again
400 miles without a word until you smile
400 miles on fields of fire
Between a woman and a boy
Between a child and his toy
Between a woman and a boy
Between a child and a toy
Before the following of the west
Before the journey and the rest
400 miles without a word until you smile
400 miles without a word until you smile
400 miles on fields of fire
With this song, I feel like scottish.
Greetings from Mexico City.
🏴🍻🍻🍻aye
Great performance from my favourite band: BIG COUNTRY 👌👌👌🎸🎸🎸
Totally underrated!
What a song for new year or a wedding, great song, that kinda bag pipe bit is brilliant. Rip Stuart.
It was around this time I saw them at Hammersmith London 💕 wearing a millits shirt tied at the front with ripped off sleeves and losing my shoes with all the jumping 🤣 Good times 👍🏼 Great Band
What a greath man.
Went to see these in Sheffield city hall they were brilliant
One of favorite new wave post-punk and Celtic rock 80's classics
God we were spoiled back in the day. Love this.
Poor Stewart carrying all those demons, its hard to understand seeing him happy in this clip, RIP Stewart.
11 April: Happy Birthday Stuart Adamson.
Always missed.
Simple times. Bought the cassette for my first car when I was 17 .
I wore this album out back in the 80s. This makes me feel happy and shit in equal measures.
Thank you Big Country, I've shared the commercial songs with my teenage son who has in return shared a few Big Country treasures with me. Best band!
We saw them in concert in 1980's.
This band was soooooo under-appreciated; they, to me, are one of the tightest (musically) bands that ever were... RIP Stewart, and thank you, for the great memories of my youth!! Never had the chance to see them live, but, man seeing these live videos, I really missed out.... Thankfully, the music will live forever....
I agree! I never appreciated the high degree of musicianship they offered until I saw them live (on video). 🎸
Class!
Love the crowd shots!
I can't tell you how much I love this song
The 80s were great, all your money was spent on records, beer and clothes.
Top band.. Fabulous first album.
I've got an unknown half brother in Scotland.... when I was younger.... thought Stuart was my brother lol
Pure passion for there instruments
Tony Butler, ONE BADASS BROTHER, OORAH🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸! GOD BLESS BIG COUNTRY, SEMPR FI!
Why the flag?
still fkin GREAT!!!
Aaaaaa whata a great song i love 80,s music i born in 83:-)
Absolutely brilliant
just so fkin GREAT !!!!
Tony Butler on bass is awesome!
Seen them in knebworth 86 brilliant
Certainly one of their best.Love it! ❤️
Excellent band, Yes a big loss to the Music Industry which is sadly losing talent at such a rate. His memory will live on forever though.
Fantastic niche sound.
A simple time. In life
One regret from my university days is not having seen them when they played Birmingham Uni.
Played the barrowlands many times, amazing😄 they were one of the boys
Epitome of the eighties
I've been trying hella hard for past few years their name name OMG🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
🎉Good band 🎉
A different perspective on this performance taken by the many camera angles and audio quality. Great band, great song... not the usual wind down and exit as only Stuart is heading for the (un)dressing room.
Looking forward to Liverpool Sept 2018. Bit of a trek from Fife but we'll worth to see a great band in a great music city.
Goddamn, that's really good!
RIP Stuart
this is the bands best live set imo of their existence
Brilliant band. The guitarist were next level. They have a bit of U2 vibe going. But with their own twist. I dig this band.
U2 have this band to thank
@@cozza3783 Yes, many bands do .salut!
Scared to Dance
These guys had a fantastic sound……pretty sure we all now know where the “The Edge” from U2 got few ideas eh!… 🤔
Here I am, a 64 soon to be 65 yr old sassanach listening to Big C whilst drinking whisky.
One of the best bands to come out of the 80's, also one of the most honest bands ever.
RIP Stuart x.
