Big Country - Close action (OGWT) HQ

Big Country perform 'Close Action' on BBC's The old grey whistle test on 29/03/83. A track from the brilliant 'The Crossing' album.

I often used to lift the stylus , skip Lost Patrol and Close Action, and set it down on Fields of Fire. I was thirteen years old - the foolishness of youth. What was I thinking? This song is a masterpiece that I grew to love - the wisdom of middle age. I still sing "I will carry you home, with the gods in my eyes" to my children; my four-year old wants a red neckerchief. Thank you and everyone that uploads Big Country. I appreciate it so much.

In the '80's when I was in my 20's BC had a profound aural and emotional impact on me. Their music holds up. Extraordinary musicians and also a great video capture
