Brave Captain by Big Big Train, performed at Loreley, Germany, July 13th 2018

David Longdon in full flight … 💚

[@barrydavis8434]

Absolutely incredible. This line up of bbt will go down in history (if it has not already) as one of the greatest line up's of any prog band. Each player so distinct, so characteristic and so faultless.

[@Naflemac]

They are everything a good progrock group can have, grandious music with lots of things happening, inspired or a taste of earlier big names in prog, strong melodies. Hope they live through their big loss and make great music in the future too.

[@TedSchoenling]

This is that Big Train running at full steam!

[@Drifter21031971]

The real english man! Bravo!.. RIP David. Your voice and and your power always will be with us.

[@norbertofiorentino1137]

What a great band. He was an excellent singer.

What an absolutely stunning performance! David sorely missed.... I'm so happy me and my wife were there together with a host of dear friends! ❤️ ❤️

[@beds139]

Wow. Pompous? overblown? Elitist? YES!!! I love it . Prog rules😊😊😊😊

[@helmutseiboth4700]

Really the Greatest Train on Earth...i was there on this Evening...unforgotten it was soooo great..R.I.P my friend David...

[@jamesgreenwood7449]

Absolutely astonishing performance. Probably my favourite BBT track made all the more poignant by the fact that David is no longer with us.

[@benwebster4795]

Complete

[@beds139]

Astonishing. Prog lives!!!!😊😊😊😊

[@Warloo100]

What a song! What a performance! What a loss, that David passed away last year!

[@scottmays8608]

Iconic band at an iconic venue. RIP David. Thank you for all of the wonderful music and lyrics.

[@JulesAtCumbria]

Oh my heavens! What an astonishing performance! If it looks and sounds this good on my phone, what on earth will that Blu-ray be like when it drops next month? So grateful that the band have released this wonderful performance, showing them as they truly come of age on stage with a superlative rendition of this track, David really owning the stage. I even found myself singing along with the crowd: "Brave Captain of the skies". Amazing! 😊

[@richardthresh3587]

Fabulous

[@andrewwild7969]

This is surely David's finest moment. Simply outstanding.

[@steveblomerth]

I did not think I needed to purchase the Summer Shall Not Fade concert since I have the Empire concert on bluray. But from what I can see and hear the sound is equally good and the video is even better giving a better and more varied view of Big big Train's performance.

[@mihaliprefti2507]

This music is everything: classical symphonic in the most elevated structure, pattern - within the rock rhythm and dynamic.

[@PauloLima1]

👋👋👋👋👋 Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@patrickkelly9178]

A wonderful song and a weird irony given the venue and the subject matter of the song.. Yes David you are sorely missed. I hope QMC Nottingham had nothing to do with why you are not with us now,

[@graemewright182]

I made it to the warm up show in Basingstoke a few days earlier and watching this brought back all those happy memories. The sound quality at both shows was spot on and the performances by David Longdon and the rest of the band near to perfection

[@Drifter21031971]

David was a real Englishman. This is much more important than the sound on stage...

[@isashax]

So amazing and so missed ❤

[@spsmith45]

Majestic.

[@lolkerozema3447]

Thank yoU David R.I.P.

[@leemichaelgeller4420]

Truly a fantastic performance! A lot has happened in the meantime; I wish nothing bu the best for BBT for years to come!

[@Furtheronmusic]

Fantastic!

[@Chris-es7gc]

First time I've really appreciated 'Brave Captain': great performance by all

[@Yodaajm]

Totally with you! Always felt BC was a long filler but after this .... WOW! Just shows, some songs are meant to be played live

[@janineking3561]

A mind blowing performance. Oh, to have been there! Such musicianship and David's command of the stage without overpowering the band was so intelligent. Fabulous.

[@stewartconacher6552]

Looks and sounds great.

[@musicaprogressivabr]

I Love this song❤

[@grahamhowes6904]

Brilliant - look forward to the release of this! Hope you caught the Aylesbury gig recently and that also gets a release. Alberto was exceptional and the new line up bodes well for the future.

[@marcgermain4809]

RIP David, I am almost crying hearing this and not having the chance to see them live in Montreal.

[@sspbrazil]

Dave Gregory’s last tour with them. What a great performance. R.I.P. David Longdon, you are sorely missed.

[@chrisgadsby5700]

Didn't Dave G perform at Hackney Empire, London, 2 November 2019?

[@sspbrazil]

@@chrisgadsby5700I dunno, I wasn’t there lol.

[@WillHsiung]

@@chrisgadsby5700 Yes, the 2019 tour was his last with BBT.

[@WillHsiung]

*last and only Continental Europe performance. He toured with them in the UK the next year.

[@martinhaskell376]

Absolutely fantastic! 😢

[@brunocolesse7883]

dont understand why such a band with such a line-up was so under estimated and Nick D'Virgilio is an incredible drummer

[@bitkahuna]

because there's an endless # of great bands and performers.

[@LesPaulManiac]

Honestly, it probably was due to their lack of touring/performances in the era before streaming. They didn't start performing until 2009 after being a band for close to 20 years.

[@rogermcp]

I love this song! I love this band! David was so talented. I never knew him, but I miss him. I hope this talented group continues. I was so excited with the addition of Carly. I hope we hear more from her.

[@elviradark6902]

Such a great performance, you guys amazing and Robert is a legend!

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Perfection.

[@jerzyzelno8559]

Wspaniałą muzyka i jeszcze lepsze wykonanie

[@ianjones1034]

Considering the band have been on the go since the 1990 , one would of thought they had played hundreds of dates in that time , the fact they haven't is a testament to the skill of the muscians involved . Some bands have to literally play together for years to reach this standard

[@dannypereznec]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@malcolmclarke3033]

Absolutely magnificent

[@boracetin]

Wonderful... Love and best wishes from Istanbul.

[@patrice8796]

Amazing 👏👏👏 Can’t wait for the Blu-Ray

[@Yodaajm]

That fall to the knees ......

[@martinreinoso5584]

it's just brilliant, keep going lads!

[@generaljj577]

This trips me out,so produced and perfect playing but it sounds real, not my usual cup of tea.

[@MichaelWilson-hg1gy]

wow

[@steveedward7572]

They are like a rock orchestra band . David was the perfect lead vocalist for them. They are entertaining to watch. There different.

[@QHarefield]

I am so sorry that you have chosen to release this in Blu-ray only; I would have bought it, otherwise.

[@wallisliss]

RIP

[@martinclarke250]

Almost unwatchable...so unbelievably cruel and sad that David has gone...the band in overdrive here!! Soaring high!!

[@patrickkelly9178]

Totally agree and sadly I was not able to see them with him

[@TheMazzimM]

Nick.

[@lorenzononaizzi3222]

I discovered BBT because of NDV... one of the best drummer EVER. (RIP David, we'll miss you)
