Somewhere, somehow Stuart is looking down from above and smiling. Just a majestic performance.❤

[@ericgardiner4212]

i hope so

[@Hoopspur]

Definitely, Stu would be glowing watching this.

[@BC1000Stars]

That was unbelievably great. Bless you, Eddi. Thank you, Keith.

[@briandonnelly8749]

😘

[@neuronmind]

Every Big Country fan will spent a tear here. Nuf said.

[@ScottKerr-tp9zk]

What a strange experience, as a mid 50s cynical old fool I stumble on a cover by one of the greatest live bands ever ( 17 times with Stuart) and for some reason my vision becomes very blurred , then I read the comments and realise it’s not just me it’s had that effect on . A man much missed but Eddi did him proud . Stay Alive!

[@ianjackson5128]

Not just you, mate, not just you 👍

[@tianuria]

Indeed… there’s a lot of us out here! X

[@nodgerbodger421]

Amen to that ❤

[@daniellister6360]

Aye, 49 and same experience when the strings crashed in with the melody!

[@Cranky301]

Gorgeous, but check out Stuart’s daughter Kirsten’s version. It’s really magical.

[@sandrider1406]

A fitting tribute to one of the best song writers and guitarists in Scotland.

[@capitain7724]

I'm a grumpy heartless B and not moved by much, this made me cry, raw emotions , Fantastic. Thanks

[@geriatriccarper2842]

58 years old, tears of nostalgia rolling down my flabby cheeks, thank you Eddie and thank you so much sir Stuart Adamson 💙

[@GordonFong]

This brings tears. Reminds me of my first year at uni with my flat mate playing this in his room, sitting talking till 2am, missing lectures, experiencing life away from home for the first time, as growing up with never forgotten memories.

[@jonnysmith9124]

Very very moving. Made me cry. Thank you for posting this.

[@thomasmitchell9268]

I’m at a loss as to why it’s took a 25 years after his departure for this iconic music to be aired again, However, hopefully people can enjoy as I did listening to this most wonderful music, LONG LIVE BIG COUNTRY X

[@StewartyMac]

I'm not crying, I've just got something in my eye...

[@werdna1690]

I was dry eyed until Eddi finishes with that line! Wow

[@JagerScot-01]

Bring a tear to a glass eye, that end section was superb. Long live Big Country.

[@brantcoulter7960]

Was a fan as a kid, became a friend and peer as an adult…named my son after Stuart. One of the kindest people to walk this earth.

[@stephenpou334]

Hairs on the back of my neck stood on end when I heard this song for the first time 40 something yrs ago, same happened watching this version, wow

[@davidfarrell5574]

Still missed to this day,but lives on in our Hearts and Minds R.I.P Stuart Adamson simply the Best.❤

[@DannyWhittingham-yk9oq]

As a Big Country life long fan, when it kicks in....wow

[@rinsei2012]

I was shot through the heart by this song 40 years ago. Their first album with this song is one of the best albums of my life.And I used to listen to Eddi Reader a lot. Her singing voice is cute and transparent, and it's awesome.

Wonderful.

[@axelerod]

the use of this version on the end of the film Our Ladies is magnificent ,powerful and very moving......

[@Kidderman3]

Stunning. Puts a great song in a different, wonderful place. The whole ensemble did a great job. Every time I find myself reminiscing about the best live performance I ever saw, I always go back to BC at the NEC arena in Birmingham in 1983. 14,000 fans. The whole place was jumping from start to finish. The passion from all four of the band was unbelievable. I miss Stuart and often wonder about what he might have gone on to achieve. RIP.

[@davidmacmillan616]

RIP Stuart, gone but never forgotten.
