[@crafter170]

Another great Scotsman . He came like a hero from the factory floor .What a great line .x

[@PMunkS]

The sapient poetry of the lyrics belie their age... _"Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance and the price was far too long..."_

[@iainrobb2875]

Actually he was born in Manchester his parents were Scottish.

[@leostarr4293]

He was English

[@johngray9434]

I once met Stuart when he played a gig on the balcony of Virgin records megastore in Edinburgh. A unique talent, extremely kind and greatly missed but his music lives on forever!

[@kennyjbell]

Love this song, reminds me of my sister who played this a lot at 15 after my dad died. RIP Karen xxxxxx

[@macprocm]

God bless u Stuart. Watched u live in sheffield Amazing man,.,. Credit legend

[@cheesenjam9781]

Sitting on top of his camper van all them years ago at knockhill … just magic 🍻

[@s.anderson823]

I never saw Big Country perform with backup singers before. And the only time I saw the keyboards guy was when they performed in Berlin. Good sound.

[@woodyfurball]

jeesus fook, when stuart kicks in wee the geeetar, how good was that, Quality man

[@EmmaPeelman]

Cracking song. Quite remarkable they played in the USSR. Kids did not know/understand much of the lyrics I bet but they sure loved the fantastic music.

[@drewdouglas9053]

Song gives me chills every time I hear it. Amazing how much power and beauty there is in heartbreak when channeled through music. Brilliant band!

[@bo0tsy1]

Half speed from album.. I got tears.

[@celestevirago8363]

For some reason this song makes me tear up every time I hear it.

[@muff.t2780]

Have never come across a negative comment about Stuart on line, that is exceptional in itself. Seems to have been a really decent man. Such a musical talent. Left us way too soon. God bless.

[@mustangsally1058]

And I doubt you ever will see a negative comment about him. He was indeed human like the rest of us he just had many more demons than most. I'm so proud of him for staying in life as long as he did. It's not easy, have been there all my life too and it's a constant battle trying to keep the depression from taking you out. Will always miss him and always keep him closest to my heart. I need him to remind me of the horrific pain that others go through when they loose you. It's the only thing that has kept me in this world.

[@davidsnowdon7328]

​@@mustangsally1058 Stay strong 💪 freind

[@AndrewCraner-vb7mm]

[@iainthomson34]

[@judithspangler3140]

Good luck everybody my ancestry is Scottish Dutch and German and hope someday to visit them all

[@jonreynolds1655]

Beautifully said Judith ...I am form England and was lucky enough to see Stuart and BC play live a few times and they were totally amazing ...they made their guitars sound like BAGPIPES ..... and the lyrics to their songs were so special and CHANCE I think backs that up ...stay happy :-)

[@judithspangler3140]

This is a young man I would like to see come back to life I miss him I know lots of people do

[@Stinkbug74]

The look on the guys face @ 3:18 . I would have had the same look on my face but added to that would have been tears rolling down my face.

[@mikeyfelley]

[@ianmcvicker5993]

You forget how great a guitarist Stuart was...an amazing talent, sadly missed ❤❤

[@allsaunders317]

What a shame best band ever so unknown in the us timeless songs they would be popular if people just watched and listened to you tube tons of great stuff any rock and roll liver could go fir them

[@bodgertime]

great recording

[@ciaranburke3243]

Goosebumps 👏👍

[@haarp35117]

where did the feeling go

[@jojack1234567890]

The truth is its my generations fault (im 28). You always see in the comments about camera phones at concerts and how crowds just arnt the same. but it really is true the disconnect we have with being in the moment is sad. This video is amazing proof. Moscow 1988 its clear people starved for music and the outside world. People who were oppressed finally getting to have a night of great music and fun. living more in the moment more than anyone my age might ever.

[@PMunkS]

The wisdom of the lyrics belie the age of the musicians. The band mates would have been between the ages of 23 and 27 at the time the song was recorded. A beautiful ballad.

[@sasquatreyz3841]

Love!!!

[@paulosergiodearrudaarruda4806]

essa musica é linda. uma alegria em ouvi-la. !!

[@Tai_lian_xiao]

Love,this song.R.I.P Stuart.

[@bobbystewart9531]

Sad loss😢

[@benvankoningsveld]

Any decent live recording is a treat for me, fantastic band!

[@paulwhite2533]

[@DaveAlbiston]

[@briantrend1812]

I was cycling across south Africa in 88 and YES BIG COUNTRY was big then ! and yes girls I slept in the bushesZZZzzz

[@briantrend1812]

and no there were no fat lefty fucked in the head SJW,s then, PEOPLE WERE NORMAL BACK THEN now we got looney fucking tunes

[@SheWoreLemon83]

The guys sound beautiful as usual, and hope they won a few soviet fans, but the backup singers are most unnecessary.

[@andrewrothe6298]

Rip Stuart, I wish you could have talked with someone 😢

[@7Bubimir]

BOGOVI!!!!!

[@elusive1970]

I understand I'm in the minority on this but I don't mind the backup singers. The harmonies sound nice when Stuart sings around them during the break down. It's the damn synth I could leave behind. I mean really... does it seem like his noodling fits with the band?

[@gmansi]

Bruce Watson used to play a lot more, what happens on this Big Country concert?

[@robertcharlton4835]

i remember bruce watson in the dockyard at rosyth as a messenger boy, wow did his life change, werent many punk kids in the dockyard he did stand out a bit.

[@Nigelxman]

@gsm1881 Yeah there was something incredibly touching about that couple. Hope they're still together. :-)

[@Nigelxman]

@SheWoreLemon83 Yes yes yes they are! lol

[@kulisaju]
