Big Country Return To Steeltown Tour Bristol 09/02/24 - Flame Of The West

[@chantelbriody1418]

Sadly big country is and never will be the same without Stuart.

[@tonyknowles6184]

Saw them at Birdwell Venue in 2023 and 5 times with stuart,mark,tony and bruce, what a band still enjoyed the current lineup,long live Big Country,👍

[@GRECIAN2011]

Just reading the comments on here, agree you can never replace the original line up and was lucky enough to see on numerous occasions. I for one think Simon is doing a great job, as is the rest of the band keeping these songs alive. Videos can never replace being there both sound and visually, and having seen them twice on the tour so far and another two booked for later in the year long may it continue

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

So glad I saw the original line up a few times

[@birchward]

A excellent share Mark ! its always a memorable gig with Big Country ! thankyou for taking the time to share , it with the world ! cheers from france . ritchie .

Brucey is an absolute legend ❤

And Jamie too❤

[@lorenzotanzariello2386]

Bruce è leggenda!

[@maDaleha65]

@@user-tz4cp3jj7r I think Jamie jumped in a bit early at 3:31 😀 . He's come on tremendously since first seeing him perform with his dad way back in Liverpool, 2009.

Saw in Brighton ...brilliant

[@711honved]

A superb band playing the incredible songs written by the hugely talented Stuart Adamson.

[@missylisabroome1762]

Absolutely ❤❤❤❤

[@atalanta9353]

‘Steeltown’ is their best album.

[@syntric]

wow first time i hear them with simon as the singer, have to say his voice really reminds me of Stuart's

[@BigBoaby-sg1yo]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no it doesn’t

[@j.4689]

Awesome. Thanks for recording and sharing!

[@markentwistle282]

Amazing band, cant wait to see them in Blackburn next month

[@harrissteven12358]

Saw Northampton last night your love it's fantastic

EINFACH NUR GEIL BIG COUNTRY FOREVER AND EVER😎🍺🍺🍺🍺🇩🇪👍

[@robinstreets1792]

All the people saying this isn't Big Country, sadly, that wouldn't be possible, also, very few bands keep the same line up for 40 years, Simple Minds are still going strong with just Jim and Charlie left of the original band, The Alarm, The Cult, The Mission, all still going strong and not the original line ups, so why so much complaining? As for the quality, recordings on mobile phones rarely do the sound justice. I'm seeing them on Friday in Holmfirth, so I'll reserve judgement until after then, really looking forward to seeing these and hearing these great songs played live again

[@cherylsarker2883]

Brilliant night❤

[@DianeStephen-yp1fv]

Oh good I am going to see them in Glasgow on September 6th. Can't wait ❤

[@brizzolglover7518]

I’m not sure if it’s the recording or the PA but this sounds dire. I’m glad I never went if this was how they sound now…

[@mandywithell]

Saw them last night and they were excellent. Ok only two of the original band but the band are professionals and give it their all. Most importantly they respect their fans and don't rip us off. Intimate venues, affordable tickets and the chance to get up, close and personal. Sound quality? Prob the recording equipment but who cares. When at a gig get immersed in the atmosphere and as long as the band are not out of tune the ears soon adjust😁 These boys CAN play!

Just saw them in Leeds and they were ace!

[@jameswendorff6416]

See Bristol didnt get the opening video we got in Nottingham. Wasn't that backdrop but video tp go qith the sounds.

[@malev6]

this kicks @ss!

[@Mondydos]

If you have not gone to see the lads live in person, then STOP with the nonsense replies. The Crossing Tour was fantastic-amazing and I saw them in 5 different venues. I am sure the Steeltown tour will be the same. If you are a true Big Country fan then see you on the road....

[@missylisabroome1762]

I’ve followed them since 1985 ,,, I’m trying to find out if they are playing Southampton on 22/3/24 ,,, it’s my last chance to say goodbye

[@obscuredsatellitesinflight6034]

Hope they bring the Steeltown anniversary tour to Australia.

[@missylisabroome1762]

I thought they were to play Southampton on 22,3 22 ,,, Any body know ? I really want to see them , 🎉it will be my last opportunity 😢…

[@JWCFB]

Sounds good

[@stephenbarton9635]

Well mint this

[@simonpovey7667]

I love BC,ive been a fan since day 1,was lucky to see them live on numerous times with Stuart,also with Mike and Simon singing but now all they are are a tribute band.....sorry but thats how it is im afraid....

[@Holygasoline]

I love the connection between Bruce and his son . I thought Simon did an excellent job and really like his voice. Id rather have this than nothing. Marks drumming is legendary not sure it would work at all without him driving it though.

[@cherylsarker2883]

What was the song they played last night that they said they hadn't done before?

[@GRECIAN2011]

Winter Sky

[@cherylsarker2883]

Thank you, I loved it

[@DianeStephen-yp1fv]

Oh my goodness, I can't wait to see them in Glasgow in September 6th🎉

[@jamestempleton5629]

Agreed ,Stuart is the best frontman that ever existed in my opinion.However,what do we do now ,the.music is too good to let die keep it going lads .do you believe in ghosts ?

[@helgeolsen9727]

Best they have been after the loss of Stuart was with Mike Peters.

[@mikebarrett1004]

Stewart

[@c0cksparr0w1]

Dear god stuart will be spinning never were are or will be BIG Country

[@BigBoaby-sg1yo]

@cOcksparrow …. Yup ! Stuart will be spinning so fast in his grave that he could power a small village 😮

[@TheHairybaz]

heard this lot was on tour,dont think il bother after seein this pile o pish

[@BigBoaby-sg1yo]

It’s like a poorly rehearsed pub band 🤷‍♂️

[@Hoopspur]

This isn't nor ever will be Big Country.

[@virgilrytaar9083]

Sorry, this ain't great

[@theenglishman3368]

This line up is horrible - they need to get Stuart's daughter in as lead singer

[@DianeStephen-yp1fv]

The first time I heard this singer I cried, live he sounded like Stuart. I have only heard Stuart daughter perform his songs as an accoustic version of her dad's songs, she is a lovely singer, got a Kate Bush Style to her voice, I would definitely be interested hear her sing with the band and the big guitars 😁👍

[@andymiles6311]

Sounds nothing like Stuart ffs

[@jameswendorff6416]

​@@DianeStephen-yp1fv Simon has the same vocal range as Stuart and is a really lovely bloke if you get the chance to meet him which I have a few times. I prefer his vocals to Mike Peters, who is a great vocalist in his own right but they had to lower the key which makes the songs not sound right.

[@grahamharlow7471]

Who is the singer? Not familiar with BC. Bruce Watson guitar, who is the drummer these days

[@samburden9884]

@@grahamharlow7471 mark Brzezick. The bands original drummer

Just horrible :(

[@BigBoaby-sg1yo]

@matt - yup ! They should have just let it go. It’s just grifting .

[@yokarp1]

This bass player isn’t good enough.

[@claverhouse1]

Probably the only tribute act to include a member of the original line up of the band they are pretending to be. Way to destroy a legacy.

[@alanwhite7912]

2 members. Mark’s still on drums but I know what you mean.

[@mustafakemal9547]

Big country without Stewart is like Fish without chips, like talent without charisma, like salt without pepper. its all fake without Adamson
