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

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

One of the greatest Scottish bands ever. No one else sounded like them. Excellent stuff :)

Brilliant fill from in a big country to field's of fire, saw them more times than I care to mention, best band I have ever seen live , Stuart was a genius

@danielstoddart 6 ай бұрын

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.

"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. 🙏🏻

The Crossing must be one of the greatest debut albums ever.

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!

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.

@Spacekriek 4 ай бұрын

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" !
