loved this band since 1981,fantastic live...rip stuart

[@klauswyatt1050]

Big Country does beautiful haunting melancholia better than anyone. Love this tune so much

[@andygray6519]

How I wish I still had this album on vinyl. It brings back a fantastic music era in the UK.

[@rashedala-uddin9012]

Thank you for your Just A Shadow reaction. A beautiful and stirring song.

[@m.rivers9201]

I think Big Country shared some sound with U2 because Steve Lillywhite Produced both bands and at the time the sound was unique and new.

[@daddyrabbit835]

Best fucking song ever!

[@dougieroberts7045]

Fantastic band, Big Country, in all ways, lyrical content is pure poetry, them guitars just cry out, I always admired how Stuart Adamsons lyrics were quite often from a womans point of view, a great loss. I personally have every version of every song and video, live concerts, movie, their catalogue is immense with all the rarities and variations.

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

@@dougieroberts7045 that must have been quite a fulfilling journey... I did the same w The Screaming Trees.. I always felt lucky to rescue The Seer and Steeltown from the cutbin of Towet Record's Always my first stop in Manhattan

[@johndant7943]

John...great reaction. Couldn't agree more on how great this song is. Keep it going. check out the Crossing. Stuart Adamson songwriting and lyrics are genuis. R.I.P. Stuart

[@sergioluciw673]

El mejor grupo de rock escocés de los 80. Heroicas y celticas guitarras. Desde Argentina.

[@SusanHeaton]

Watch the Barrowlands concert from '83. Audience participation second only to The Who.

[@patrickriley2928]

You nailed the comparison with U2. I would bet they were influenced by Stuart Adamson. My cousin lives in Dumfermline, Scotland, where Stuart was from. When their soccer team enters the field they still play, "Into the Valley." Love this line, "If we only get our back against the wall, I look at backs that pushed the wall for years, Scarred by many knives and too much fear." Great Job!

[@kylewoolsey6635]

The Edge practically said as much. They were fans of the Skids. A reaction to Skids' Masquerade or Into the Valley, next.

[@kylewoolsey6635]

Probably the best fade out in the history of rock music. Great album closer, too!

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

@@kylewoolsey6635 well damn dude.. sorry i didnt get down that far in the comments... But its nice to know i didnt just dream about that fade out. cheers. They were were something else.. Apparently Stuart Brzezicki left the band after 40 yrs a few mos ago

[@paultomaszewski1964]

Scotish/English band formed in Scotland. Sadly, the lead singer Stuart, took his own life back in 2001. Their first three albums are very good, even had Kate Bush doing some backing vocals on the third album "The Seer".

[@martinarscott3524]

A lesser known Big Country song from the No Place Like Home album called "Ships" is well worth a listen, very different to his other stuff but a phenomenal track

[@padraigsisk4057]

Try listening to the 12 inch version of this especially the intro

[@andrewhirst3087]

Seen them live in the 80s at rock city Nottingham

[@oilrules4302]

You're doing a great job John Slop 👏 Keep up the good work brother. Looking forward to it... Big Country Has a lot of great songs in their archives. Best to you today brother. Check out their song,King of Emotion.😀

[@rachelconroycv5665]

This one's great. They're all good. Listen to Where the Rose is Sown.

[@jamesmccallum209]

Chance a brilliant Big Country tune!

[@DrewJimmy]

Check out their buffalo skinners album!

[@timothyharwood1941]

Thank you for your reaction.

[@stuartfoster7052]

One of the great guitar outros of all time!!

[@KZ-sg4es]

It’s crazy good!!

[@timhitchman3759]

You ain't wrong....I could listen to that for hours....full blast ....utter class

[@wal9896]

Yeah play outro over and over again when in car alone - was absolutely devastating live - great memories

[@MrK-wu7ci]

You should check out Big Country: Steel Town East Of Eden Stuart Adamson was great lyricist. His lyrics are almost like long poems and draw heavily from literature.

[@DannyWhittingham-yk9oq]

It's a rage against capitalism and the system..listen to the lyrics...Stuart was a humanist

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

Best outro of the 80s?

[@analogkid1963]

Were not in kansas

[@TrevorRamone]

You should listen Big Country's album The Crossing. 10/10 album for sure.

[@seancagney8897]

YES IT IS, flawless from start to finish well over 30 plus years after its release. It is a 10 like you said, no skippable tracks on that album.

[@crssde]

Stuart was ist bigger! 😀🙌

[@MEWA-ft3fg]

Love your reaction big country is awesome. Sadly weren't promoted as much in the US. They're one of my favorites. Stuart Adamson was a genius.

[@allanbridgewater259]

Their song " Chance " is even better ........ cool reaction .

[@paulbratley9636]

Great video and thanks for reacting to the greatest ever band all their work is superb

[@daddyrabbit835]

100%

[@jamesmccallum209]

True fine tune. !!

[@jamesorth6460]

Steeltown

[@mikelowe4039]

Just watch them live!

[@davidmcglone7442]

Try some of the live videos - awesome. And, the bagpipe guitars are beautiful.

[@Lightmane]

What happened to YES?

[@Robertd-lq7jp]

Magical 👌

[@steveakka]
