Big Country - Where The Rose Is Sown Live WESEL 12. November 1984 Germany

[@thymusictoo364]

not only do i love this song, i think this might be my favorite music video ever. I haven’t learned everyone’s names yet, I only just started really listening to Big Country, so please excuse my descriptors in the list of things i love about this video: -the roses backdrop, delightful -the title card that’s half accurate - the dude that photobombs the announcers right at the beginning -the announcers handing out roses with the utmost chill, as if they were at a chamber music concert or something - the bass-playing dance the bassist does -the bass player’s expressions, so into it -the camera spending a decent amount of time on every member INCLUDING their playing -how much they are all smiling -the lead’s Whole Entire Vibe -the way the lead’s flannel shirt is buttoned up as far as it’ll go -mic sharing, gets me every time -the second guitarist just completely abandoning playing along with the track in order to not only dance, but what looks to my unpracticed eye like jigging -the audience being enthusiastic while managing to all clap in time i love the whole dang thing

I love how Bruce is just dancing around because he knows how stupid it is to be standing up there and not playing the song. This is one of the best live bands ever and they don't let them play it, stupid!

dbc1dc Haha it's just a TV show for promo. ;-)

Stuart Adamson is IMMORTAL!!!

[@billbreed]

Stuart’s haircut ahead of its time! 👊 The best I’ve ever seen Tony look wow! 👏👏

[@HumGuitar]

The directors of the camera shots appear to have thought that Tony was the lead singer. At the beginning it looks like Mark got to laughing about something and almost couldn't stop. Probably laughing at Bruce's dancing.

[@sergitocr]

Bruce Watson dancing!

[@Round_07]

Ladies & Gentlemen, let me present you with the lead singer of Big Country: Tony Butler!

[@alexa0499]

Stuart was not there during the rehearsal. That is probably the reason why the spotted Tony most. Stuart and Bruce did an interview in another town and just arrived shortly before the show went live

Looking very very cool

[@wazdude101]

Wow! They sound amazing live.

[@Aaron50001]

This is so funny- First they get the name of the song wrong on the caption. Most of the song they know the camera crew doesn't know what it's doing. Mark is laughing, Bruce is dancing Tony and Stuart are doing really bad lipsync on purpose. I would have loved to hear what they said backstage after this!

[@yankeesfan5716]

The best "unknown" band of the 80s. Just awesome!

[@ACERAMGAD]

[@Utd_4Me]

The Best...Stuart Adamson and BIG COUNTRY

[@aarlevanbram]

memories great to see even if this isn't live. i can remember the host of this broadcast.

[@haraldlambert1020]

Stuart Adamson im Bundeswehrparker incl. Schwarz-Rot-Gold auf der Bühne!!! S.A. FOREVER!!!

[@OCOrbits]

Hilarious watching Mark play that little kit! He is laughing throughout most of the song

[@MsSoulProvider]

His time will be forever!

[@neilwiththedeal]

Sounds just like the album!

[@briandonnelly8749]

It is the album version..😘

[@jackiebrown7229]

LMAO Brilliant

[@gordondeprest]

too funny! Marks drums aren't mic'd, I think Tony was trying, but watching Bruce dancing around like he had hot coals in his shorts and the guitar behind his back was too much !

[@jerryfirth6985]

first time ive ever seen BC mime, hmmm very surprising as they were 100% a live band...

[@supernaturalbassjigs]

First off- I LOVE BIG COUNTRY...But this is the funniest glorified Karaoke I've ever seen!!! I mean no one's guitar is plugged into anything- And how the heck could Bruce be playing while having some kind of fit onstage??? I think they told him "If you go crazy enough it will distract everyone from the fact that we arent really playing!" Im just really glad the CD never skipped with all of his dancing around...

hahaha, absolutely funny

[@Dissmusic]

They look fantastic here. Very cool. Too bad they were so poor at lip synching, which is actually to their credit in some ways. Shows like this were just so silly. They look lean and mean here, though.

[@ben_jamin160]

wow where did you get this footage? i want it for a documentary
