Big Country Glasgow Barrowlands Fields Of Fire

DVD Quality

[@garethroberts4365]

Just been diagnosed with cancer and this video is the only thing that has made me smile in the last 2 weeks . Seen them 6 times the best live band ever !

[@SonyaWongJamisonKeener]

Wishing you a speedy healing.

[@bo0tsy1]

Never saw them. One appearance on SNL. Immediately bought the crossing.

[@jamestempleton5629]

Just a wonderful talent.seen 14 times live and never disappointed,pure genius

[@petersund4914]

This is What I turn back 2 again and again - Pure talent

[@terrytibbs5678]

If I had a De Lorean, I'd set it for this time and place! What a gig!

[@jeromefarrell1835]

Saw them in 1983 in Hammersmith Odeon, they were fantastic, done an encore of this with The Drummer Mark B did a drumming solo for 3 /4 minutes to the Fields of Fire lasting 9/10 minutes. All was shouts of More,More,More all over the Odeon. Best Concert I ever saw. Stuart Adamson R.I.P., you were the Best.

[@trevorabsolom2006]

To this day, the greatest band ever and if you never pogo'd in the crowd to classics like Fields of Fire, then you never got to experience the intensity of it all, saw them 15 times live and they were as brilliant every time. RIP Stuart.

+Tricky Tredder You lucky man. I found BC like 7 years ago and have all their records and DVD's. And of course I have to agree with you :) Thank god we have these DVD's! Me and my friends have Big Country night every year in Christmas time in memory of Stuart.

[@cavabytch]

+Tricky Tredder I only saw them once, my very first concert, what a way to start , BEST TIME EVER ,,,,,,,,, R I P Stuart :(

[@32ivanhoedrive]

+Cava Queen BC were my first gig also, way back in 83 in the Apollo in Glasgow. 5 of us travelled to the gig in an a clapped out orange Austin Allegro. Oh happy days!!!!!!!!

[@swaggs]

I saw them live twice in the 80s'. Both shows just shredded.

[@barkinstarfish]

Trevor Abbo brilliant comment buddy. I saw the about the same amount of times. First time in Brum 82 I think! I am watching this video with tears in my eyes. A truly incredible band, and fans!

[@jackiebrown7229]

Words will never describe how phenomenal this is. Hope ye found peace Stuart. Wish you'd practiced what you preached and Stayed Alive. R.I.P big man.

[@allsaunders317]

The greatest live musical moment ever when the guitars ignite on fields of fire

[@scotticusnorvegicus]

Music from the heart ! First time I saw Stuart Adamson was at the Loch Lomond festival in 1979 when he was playing with the Skids. The Skids blew every band off the stage that day including The Stranglers who are another of my fave bands. Next time I seen Stuart Adamson was at the Reading Rock festival in 1983 and The Stranglers were headlining again. Yeah, Big Country blew them off the stage as well. Coldplay ? Scouting For Girls ? The Wombats ? F*ck off this is real music !

[@cheekyjonez3916]

I am so Goddamn proud to be of Scottish descent right now. 🥰💙🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@richymoore]

Tony Butler ... possibly the most under rated bass player of all time

[@richwest9104]

This, 110%. Steeltown in particular is HIS album -- he drives the entire thing, from the very first note to the very last. I was lucky enough to have a nice long chat with him at an event a couple of years ago, and a nicer more humble man you could never wish to meet. He adored Stuart and still feels the pain of losing him.

[@carygillit2592]

It's actually good when Stuart breaks that string because we get to hear Tony's bassline isolated for a few bars.

[@KnispelGreece]

Oh, HOW MUCH I LOVE this Scottish sound! Lovely band with lovely performance, from a lovely land...

[@kildogery]

Imagine you could bottle goosebumps?! Pure joy!

[@andrewnaugher3186]

The debut album is one of those rare achievements of being so strong you play it through every time you put it on the turntable then realize you know every word to every song. A fantastic band!

[@padraigsisk4057]

Steeltown to me better

[@jaford2]

Definitely the best album ever made.

[@eyemoeba]

they got the sound perfect for this gig. the recorded versions were good, but this gig drips sweat and fucking rocks.

[@sitrep12]

the tempo, the beat and the bagpipe sound that stuart got is what i always loved about big country. mark came to a gig i was doing once as his brother steve was playing bass for us at the time, and i got to have a chat with him. r.i.p stuart not forgotten.

[@jonbexx]

Every now and then an album come out where every track is brilliant.this is one of them,a classic 🎸🎸

[@JonahJojoTheMan]

Big Country , one of the reasons cause I love Scotland. 💙💛 Huge respect from Brazil. R.I.P. Stuart Adamson

[@yogibear3161]

This music hits you so so hard, but you feel no pain.

[@johnc8770]

Stuart Adamson is a musical God to me, I adore him

[@jonnyrangers1]

As a Glaswegian I saw them live in the old st. Austell coliseum in carlyon bay.....without doubt the most energetic, exhilarating, sweaty, draining and life affirming concert I’ve ever been to in my 54 years.....amazing band!

[@EricJohnson-xp2up]

Was at the Seattle Moore Theater Show. Nov. 9 1983. Life changing show for sure. Along with U2, Clash, Simple Minds a great time for music.

[@GetElectronics]

A great song that amazingly was even better when they performed it live - still think they were underrated to this day

[@michaelbragg6903]

Big Country is just one of the best live bands ever!

[@FlyingKeo045]

"The Flying Keo" (Cyprus) Still a great band live in 2019, Still get the sell-out audiences (admittedly a bit older)---`Bouncing` !! RIP Stuart Adamson.

[@JFinSD2]

Big Country.....A very good band that should have bigger than it was.

[@allsaunders317]

one of the best bands ever sadly overlooked live when this song ignites magic happens

[@PirateofTarrytown]

This performance makes me so happy every time I come back to it. And that bass man rocks. They all do. It's just so exuberant and full of life.

[@hoser7706]

There is no other band with that sound, then or now, nor that energy. Many are good live or entertaining but Big Country are great! The Crossing has to be one of the best albumns from start to finish. And even better live!

[@ernestgrouns8710]

Absolutely fucking bad ass. I'm about to run outside and start high-fiving my fuken neighbors!!!!!!!!!!! This has been a New Year's Eve classic for me for years...

[@kezzer2]

RIP Stuart,still makes the hairs on my neck stand up!!!!

[@petegallagher3389]

Still get goosebumps every time I listen to this.

[@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb]

Great song great guitarist great pars fan rip Stuart coyp

[@MrDuncanquasar]

Makes you feel alive

[@MrAbraxas123]

Stuart Adamson bless his memory great music

[@ianprice6591]

Don't complicate things with long words or essays just know that these guys were one of the best fricken bands ever......... That is all..... Bless you Stuart Adamson, your missed bro ....

[@TheHairybaz]

having a big country night on my headphones! just a wee tear in my eye though

[@lanett53stinkyowl16]

I love this one look all the people jumping and singing entire concert awareness sweet awesomeness

[@emlix1]

One of the drummers who influenced me more than any other- especially that military style beat that utilized the whole kit.

[@funland108]

Me too. Massively.

[@argyro2006]

the energy, the voice, the sound of the guitar and the base, come on. its one of the best live giggs ever

[@keef71]

00:40 to 00:50 get me every time, could listen to that forever.....

[@nodgerbodger421]

Un be lievable RIP Stu

[@AndrewCook7]

Best band ever

[@MaxMountainWorld]

Thanks for This. Saw in 2 Hogmany's and 8 times concerts inc these. Thanks.

[@sennikram]

I was 14 and my first girlfriend got me into this she was beutiful but she was more beutiful for leaving me with this music in my soul. i still love her and i love big country.

[@chazumperfluffypillows5388]

Ahh that's lovely. Do you have her phone number ? When I was 14 my GF at the time got me hooked on wanking me off whilst wearing a glove (her not me). I can't remember her name.

[@grahammccready2647]

no band i had seen of have seen since had that ability to make the room just expode with joyous energy. Stuart grew into that front man role and had a connection with the audience i have rarely seen. phil lynott and bruce springstten are the only ones i can think of that had that kind of connection. that is pretty good comapny to keep

[@lanett53stinkyowl16]

I know right.. just great stuff huh

[@jmcc2275]

Try Runrig at the same venue.

[@anpr1984]

New Years Eve 83/84. Shown on BBC2 if memory serves correctly. I was hooked ever since. Was lucky enough to see them live 11 times from 86 to 99. RIP Stuart.

[@johnmacintyre6231]

I think it was the Edinburgh playhouse concert the year after this that was on tv

[@matthewh.9544]

Nearly 1.5 thousand likes and not a single dislike. On KZbin that's virtually unheard of.. Says all you need to know about this magnificent band.

[@tailhookmd2546]

The drummer is a frickin stud. He's got the depth of Kenny Aronson. All these guys were great musicians.

[@jonetrance4495]

you wont find bands like this no more

[@alanlucero-p7q]

I saw big country in Hollywood, small club venue. They were absolutely amazing

[@MichaelJohnson-kl9jx]

Greatest band EVER, period. From the very beginning loved them. God rest your soul Adam. We miss you.

[@1968latics]

Seen them twice. First time at knebworth supporting what turned out to be the last concert Queen did. Saw them again at Birmingham. Amazing band. rip Stuart

[@strace67]

I've seen many many live shows… but nothing compared to these boys live Its what live music was meant to be

[@elprado1963]

This song is so Great it makes me emotional... 0 dislikes and there should never, ever be... Good GOD, was this band one of the greatest that there ever was..... Gives me the chills when I hear it... It is that good, moves a grown man to tears....

[@eyemoeba]

as he announces the title of the song just as it's about to explode. my god, 'cos we know what's coming. the best.

[@charlesanddenisemoscatello5802]

I saw them live in 1986 NYC. I had and HAVE every album. Had them all on vinyl first but Big Country on cd was later than other bands as the conversion to cd started in the late 80's. They are so overlooked and underrated. The craftsmanship of the music and writing are just top notch. RIP Stu.

[@wofra67]

+Ledyard Pritchard i agree sad that so many talent was overlooked. live they were on of the best band at their time. i saw them in germany it was mind blowing.

[@leebrown3848]

Miss the 80s concerts we went to jump around and have a good time mobile phones have ruined concerts

[@charliebrockett]

Sensational band and years ahead of their time Marvellous gig

[@richardsmith4960]

Yes fantastic Stuart is a fantastic guitar player in the skids and big country

[@Muirton66]

R.I.P. Stuart.......Scotland still loves you !!

[@carlleavey]

And the rest of us too. :)

[@lewjones]

this is amazing---better than nirvana or u2..its got sincerity from a great soul..the guitars knock me out ....i wish he would have survived..rip

[@peterglinka2795]

Every song wants you to dance and be silly x loved them and the second Country are good , seen them ten times ish I thinks !

[@paulchristian296]

Amazing live band, saw them with 140,000 at Knebworth and !000 at Porthcawl, same energy at both shows, not many bands can do that, RIP Stuart you will always remembered.

[@R.S.407]

Brilliant....you can just feel the energy.

[@johnwilberforce7237]

If I could go back to any place at any time in my lifetime, it would be to be at this concert. X

[@allensaunders449]

[@BestUserNameUK]

Tony Butler... a beast!

[@salamanco968]

[@kildogery]

It's not a gimmick! It's incredible!

[@fightintheshade]

Was at the Ulster Hall gig in Belfast on this tour. Same set list, same energy, unbelievable.

[@jackiebrown7229]

Loved this band since 1983 and loved Stuart in the Skids. I to was lucky enough to see them numerous times too at The Barras, Ingliston, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Livingston where I met Tony, Bruce and Stuart after the show. Sadly I never saw Mark but got autographs from the others and my photo taken with Stuart. I have it in a frame in my living room. Great days, I miss them so much. Brilliant live band and top guys. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@cazmo270268]

This brings back memories of my youth! Big Country deserved more recognition for their great sound. Lyrically and musically superior to 99.9% of the bands currently dominating music

[@pauljackson6804]

[@mightyquinnproductions8672]

I have no doubt if Stuart would have conquered his demons Big country would still be a band at the very top they just had that about them.
