SHOUT !!!!!!!!
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
I thought that pain and truth
Were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here
With every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened
Doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor
Come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth
Were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here
With every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

That is why music is supposed to be played live by real musicians without autotune and plastic talent-shows! R.I.P. Stuart.

[@wiglaugh]

By far one of the most powerful, memorable guitar riffs ever. EVER.

[@jmy280]

to the person who posted saying 'one hit wonder' ....you have obviously been sniffing the glue!

[@Mr3wbc]

I was very lucky to have seen this band , they lifted the roof off a very small town in SW Scotland , Been to lotsa concerts with lotsa big names ...never seen better live band....this band stays in my heart forever.

[@FireFox516]

Holy frick, that was one of the coolest live performances I've ever seen.

[@CoastGuardIDC]

26 years later, and this song still rocks! Good live performance, too. Usually, there's some feedback, but this concert is crystal-clear

[@delstrain8590]

Genius just genius. Sadly missed.

[@flowrpowrlovechild]

When I first heard this as a teen, I was blown away. It was so different and unlike any genre I had experienced. This makes me feel so young and untouchable like it did when I first heard my heartbeat almost louder than the drums. Does that make me a geek? who cares, I just got happy! Time is so fleeting, enjoy it you youngsters! Make it COUNT! Do something that is gonna MATTER! I'm praying for all our youth, I know things are tough on you guys. Need advice? Drop by my channel! Peace and luv

[@wirralchap]

Watching this chokes me to tears....Stuart you are so missed forever and always

[@triman650]

I was lucky to see them at The Living Room in Providence..what a performance! They were fantastic and I know Stu's in Heaven, playing on.

[@masondwellers5715]

woah when did they play the living room???

[@JoelDres]

The most original band of my generation. Their music and lyrics unmatched anywhere else in music history.

[@loutiscrive]

Your name will never die, Stuart Adamson

[@TheBrigBhoy]

RIP Stuart. You brought happiness to milions and still do.

[@sgtwilkosbarmyarmy]

In a Big Country dreams stay with you...........Stuart, you will always be the man, a musical legend never to be forgot!! Fields of fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jdthetenth]

U2 are good, these guys are awesome. The best drummer in the world is in Big Country. Best band ever for me, Big Country rock.

[@jcarchia1]

God Bless Stuart, your the man

[@Retroscoop]

In a wet country, stay alive.... Gee, these guys were excellent live too ! Such a dedication, many bands simply would have called it a day... But then again, they're used to that in Scotland :)

[@iainrobb8910]

One of the Best live bands that ever play .

[@snoopz2004]

Saw Big Country a couple of times, last time was at Knebworth when they were one of Queens support acts, they were a great band love their music still !!!!

[@vidgameman73]

I always loved this song, especially blaring on the jukebox in the arcade I used to go to back in 1983. It's too bad he's not here with us today, great jam, great voice! :)

[@jeffreyhinkel3490]

+Bill Suszynski Amen ;.....One of the most terrible losses in music .....I loved these guys .. Grew up with Zep and the rest from the 70's but this band is one that made the 80's a great decade also ..........Something awful happened in the 90's though .......Someone got the bright idea that rock needed to be contrasted with hip-hop ;......More divisive crap from todays divisive media establishment .

[@old13cfrwjock]

Song still holds up....GREAT tune!

[@Clem_Fandango11]

Bought a little tear to my eye. They were enjoying the whole thing, the crowd were really smiling the weather was f*cking awful. Utterly out of this universe.

[@josephalvaro5244]

Great performance!Killer rhythm section.

[@melisakilliby7549]

This would have been much fun being at the concert. Dancing in the Rain.

[@mgp288]

this is easily my favorite version of the song

[@nob15]

best live band i've ever seen 2 date

[@janea57]

Fantastic version of this. They were just fantastic live.

[@calesmith3673]

Rain or shine. The show goes on. Excellent

[@KennedyGaming123]

Pure class,how could you not love this ?

[@stevehoward4701]

Long haired Stuart - what a mega musician- every song created by these geniuses is a masterpiece

[@jag0309]

Amazing set. Proper rock n roll. The connection with the crowd is amazing.

[@clarebow1]

[@robjoseph5181]

[@sniktu]

I only found out about Stuart's passing last night and I was very sad. But I am happy to see him here.

R.I.P. Stuart Adamson

[@peterobrien7158]

[@dannymcmince]

Great memories listening to Big Country!!!

[@rashiehill]

[@barnowl01292]

Gaun the Stuarty boy! Ane o' us...God bless ye big man. Hope ye've found peace brither.

[@martymefurst]

I saw them this same year, and it was one of the ten best (out of hundreds) of live shows I remember. Stuart had such energy and enthusiasm; I recall him lifting a woman in the front up on stage with her disposable camera, and he took pictures of her with the band and himself. I wonder about those photos, now.

[@mikebarrett8330]

Probably the best band..........ever

[@fentanelfloyd8383]

Pretty much

[@i4bc]

i,ve been to see my idols BC many many times..but hell did i miss this one...seeing peeps dancing in the rain and and really enjoying themselves..Magic !!!...that,s what BC,s music is all about

[@tammysilvey8036]

OMG.. LOVE HIM!!! 😘

[@skidrow493]

Bring back my memoris of 80'....

[@garycoxgc]

Fabulous…amazing band! Tight as F!

[@IncredibleMasseyFergusonFan]

God this is so good. I wish Stuart was still here.

[@johnr2630]

It’s fuckin raining and they’re still playing like nothing. God I fucking love this band!!!!

[@geno1825]

💯 facts most bands will cancel concert thinking they will melt (makeup) from the rain or their equipment will be ruined

[@FoghornLeghorn66]

I agree. Look at Mark, Tony and Bruce. Wow. Stuart is as passionate as ever. I heard this song when I was 13 and the rest is history. Miss you all together. Stuart - you and BC made a positive difference in my life. So glad you are part of me. Rare. Only other band I could say the same of? The Beatles.

[@aarlevanbram]

Gone but not forgotten!!

[@iplaymytele]

Freaking wonderful I’m glad I came across this live version....!!!

[@cerasodamaniaco1]

This is my own personal anthem its been since I remember back in the early 80's.

[@brownson1970]

they were a fantastic live band shine on stuart adamson

[@JFLD02186]

this is too rock, the dude gives out hugs, very cool...see radiohead @ Pinkpop, Tom Yorke wears a yellow mac in the rain for the crowd...not outfit for rockin...I loved this guy above....very sad, seems very genuine/real...hurts sometimes...beautiful person...I love music & people who make music....SHHHHA!

[@slayer51811]

Stuart loved his fans.

[@holly007abl]

[@phillipdady303]

Another underrated band.

[@scouse21]

I 1st seen this band way back in the late seventies/early eighties for FREE in "Larks In The Park" when bands would play free in Sefton Park, Liverpool. My girlfriend took me as she was really into them. After that day I've been listenening to them ever since! Very Underated!

[@kenritch3941]

This Man gave so much of himself....

[@paullavan1272]

What a great way of putting it. God bless you mate.

[@Yaldarra]

[@prsfrank]

[@neiljackson3173]

[@DermotRathbone]

[@aforest86]

[@mjtf1113]

One of the best songs...ever

[@zeldaaldez]

it was a cool song..one hit wonder..but..smells like FREEDOM..great song

[@musicsunhappy]

I never grow tired of this one. Qaulity sound, vibe, graphics. Thanks for sharing. Talented guy i wish he was still around . Not expecting to grow flowers in the desert. Why did he take his own life?

[@shelaghmoore445]

+musicsunhappy It is painful to think about it isnt it, when you listen to the lyrics. The song to me is about spitting in the face of adversity and defiantly dragging yourself back when everything seems against you,. Then we go and lose the man who wrote such wonderful words of life affirming encouragement in that way. Much as I still love the music, it is tinged with sadness now. Especially watching a performance like this where he seems so happy and enjoying himself. Like you I always wonder Why? The human mind and emotions are mysteries, even though we think we understand them.

[@rhodyrockinrahj]

i am from rhody - wish i had seen them. they were innovators in a time and era where there wasnt much room to create something different. God rest ye Stu............

[@Seanbo88]

Great drummer

[@MrPhilroo123]

they still mean something now, in 2011, look at the dancers in the rain, enjoyment, pure , i loved em then, love em more now. At the time i always wondered why other shite bands got on telly more coz no-one was more on it, especially live than big country.Ask anyone who saw them blow bowie away live at wembley.

[@bjornkok29]

awesome tune paul clarke,thx for sharing my music friend!!!,appreciate it man!!!!

[@EowynLis]

I love so much this song!!!! SHOUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT♥♥♥

[@58016428]

FANTASTIC!!!!

[@strychnyne3530]

this was the jam in the 80's. i love it.

[@chrisofnottingham]

Out of all the gigs I've been to, Big Country supplied two of the top three. For the curious, the other one was Marillion just after they released Script for a Jester's Tear, at the UEA in Norwich, which probably had a capacity of about 300.

[@m1k2n9]

In a big country dreams stay with you Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside Stay alive, here we go

[@vo0sto0]

Great band!Awesome public!Fantastic Weather!

[@chrongen13]

GREAT SONG! Wish I was there!!!

[@boogieeck]

In weather like that that performance is awesome.

[@moonspots01]

This is a pretty darn good version!

[@estrepa]

Best live video ever, that's all!

[@AndySabola11]

Such a good band , I really wish i could have seen them.

[@triman650]

Saw them live in Providence, Rhode Island (USA) in 1983 or so, at a relatively small venue...I'd already had their first album...they were sensational! I should have brought my album to have it signed by Stu..what a shame he died in 'a Big Country' so young...what a phenomenal band....and as a Scot myself, they made my blood boil!

[@PicoGigaMan]

Wow! Killer performance!!! They gave it there all.

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

Man can you imagine how much fun it would have been to be there.

[@andrewmcgregor9915]

these guys are right up there with level 42 live so fucking tight!!!!👏👏👏😎

[@aarlevanbram]

Big Country rides again!

[@jiroglay2142]

I miss Stuart only him can sing this song.

[@vamp666XD]

this is my favorite "in a big country" video, stuart actually rocked it out here carefree!
