      Brilliant live band. Seen them without Stuart and Bruce, really good too but different.

    Brilliant band live they have a totally unique guitar sound that no one else is even close to. Rip Stuart Adamson

      Totally agree. Was lucky to see them play at Glasgow's Big Day - had the crowd going crazy.

    Makes me feel so emotional in happy and sad ways. We will never see this again in today’s ‘music’. Very few bands show this much enjoyment in what they do on stage at least

  • @danielstoddart
    @danielstoddart Před měsícem +11

    I miss this band a lot. They were tight, well-rehearsed, and best of all they had their own unique sound even among the '80's British new wave bands.

    Amazing clip! Not only Big Country but one of my other fav tunes Fields of Fire !!! The flannel, the pegged pants, the hair, the colors, everything in this video is a dream of 1983....oh, not to mention the drumming, the bag pipe guitars (how'd they do that??!) Stuart's strong voice declaring war on pessimism...yep 1983 that was the year!

    "Inwards", which Bruce gives a wee nod too, at the end of a In A Big Country", will always be my favorite cut off The Crossing and their Live Shows. Always loved those Yamaha Guitars! Stuart, Bruce, Tony and Mark made such Wonderful Music. Stuart is Sorely Missed. 🙏🏻

    RIP Stuart. Immense talent. So tortured. Love them live. Slick drummer. Thanks for the post. PSA - the King Biscuit Flour Hour recording of Big Country from the Ritz in NYC is a gem if you can track it down. The soundtrack of my teenage years.

    I saw them at Oxford ...wanted so badly to stand but the high up seating was really steep and it was SO HOT, I feared losing my balance! That bassline is so great. Just a surge of adrenaline listening to these tracks...at bedtime (I might not sleep!). Night, all!

    Great stuff ! Even if it does not sound as polished as the studio recording I still love it for the sheer energy and rawness. I'm guessing Stuart's voice was a bit overworked because of the way he sang "winter-tiii-iii-me" !
