Wow such an electrifying and powerful performance! Love their smiles as much as the way they manage to surpass the greatness of their very first songs that through small alterations are turned into absolute new masterpieces. BC Forever!
You appear to be a pretty musically educated person yourself, providing us with this interesting information. Thank you ! I love the Clash's "should I stay or should I go' right at the beginning.
Been listening to the scratch medley intro. I've come up with these: The Modern Lovers-Roadrunner The Clash-Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Jam-Boy About Town David Bowie-Rebel Rebel Aerosmith-Walk This Way The dB's-Spy in the House of Love (someone said New Order-Blue Monday, but pretty sure it is dB's) Anybody hear something more, or something else?
Henceforth, there must be at least a weeklong series of open-air concerts in Adamston, Maryland, celebrating Stuart Adamston’s and Big Country’s music. Not only that, but the town should be renamed “Stuart Adamston”. If we are to be ambitious, then the kind folk across the river in Leesburg, Virginia, ought to consent to having it renamed “Stuart Adamsburg”, Virginia, and to have a long, annual series of summer concerts focused on Stu and the lads’ music right there. This plan would be much more appropriate than the status quo, for Stu did NOT lead a militarized insurrection against the U.S.. Furthermore, he did not take part in enslaving a single individual of African descent, for his own economic gains. Furthermore, Stu did not assert, not even once, that in a routine census, that African-Americans ought to be counted as 2/3rds of a person, as certain unenlightened U.S. political leaders did, in the past. Also, though it is rumored that General R.E. Lee was a good violinist, Stu’s mastery of the guitar, as evidenced in this video, only adds to the long laundry list of reasons why Stuart Adamsburg, Virginia is an inevitable, if not a necessary and inescapable improvement.
Purely and simply the BEST band ever. Timeless music, Thank you Big Country and RIP Stuart
By a long shot! Couldn't agree with you more mate!
Fuck yeah, saw them in Birmingham in 1996 - they essentially played in a huge tent
I count myself incredibly fortunate to have seen this same performance live.
Our piper played this after much rehearsal when we departed Kandahar in 2005 as part of the 33CBG RCR.
What a band they still are . Thanks to Bruce/ Mark for keeping the flame lighting
Cheers BC 1.000 Star's, I Will Watch it This Weekend, Many Thanks For Your Reply, Appreciated.
I so love this band. Have seen them live often. 2 hours of jumping, non stop. Still on fire. Miss them, miss him.

this is why Big Country are my fav band ever!!
Shame we'll never see this version again but I understand it's in respect of and to Stuart that we don't and won't.
SCRAATCH!!! I was lucky enough to have moshed to a live performance of this momentous version of FoF.
CHEERS BC1000STARS ☺ NICE 1 BIG COUNTRY 🎼👍✌ & GOD BLESS YOU STUART 💖 ( SOUL FREE )

No matter what version of the song I listen to, I always get shivers at the part at 6:04, it's amazing
This song speaks to my soul, it always picks me up when I'm feeling down, and I'll never tire of it
Marvelous Musicianship.
Amazing! Love the nod to 'Blue Monday' at 1:19 and Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kizhe at 4:26 or thereabouts - musically educated guy was Stuart (RIP)
jaford2 he sure was. Sorely missed. 😥
BC1000stars Thank you so much for putting all this stuff up for us to enjoy - really appreciate it!

Elvia Claesson Yeah, just one riff (to avoid any copyright issues, presumably! )
6:12 "We're called Big Country". I saw them live three times; it wasn't near enough.
Me too
Saw them a lot more than that and it still wasn't enough
There's no such thing as too much Big Country. I've been enjoying their music since 1983. I will NEVER tire of listening to Big Country!

Luv this concert!,😊♥️
Guitar genius!
One word, AWESOME....
Superb,always was,and always will,god bless you SA
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing
Lucky lot who were there! Brilliant. Thanks for sharing again! 😘
Joyous stuff.
I just realized the date of this concert. That was before the wall came down! How did they even get permission to play? And look at the turnout.
It was all done under the banner of 'change’ then, the movement had started, Big Country were playing a small but significant role. 🙂
The bagpipe-like guitar solos are incredibly catchy!
Charisma.
Fire!
No wonder the wall came down.
Genial !
Been listening to the scratch medley intro. I've come up with these:

David Bowie-Rebel Rebel
Aerosmith-Walk This Way

Anybody hear something more, or something else?
You know a year later the wall came down
3:25 Sweet Stuart's personality
I love all of these videos of them live. East Berlin, they kicked it. Do you have a link to show the whole concert in one go?
