Big Big Train - Snowfalls at De Boerderij

[@KennethACrashwaggonMusic]

Alberto, Clare and Oskar have really been phenomenal additions. If you didn't know about the past of the band, you'd be ecstatic about there actually being a band this incredible out there.

[@KennethACrashwaggonMusic]

Oskar looks about 22, but my word how he plays.As a fellow countryman I feel a little proud. ;)

[@gigantebranco]

Hard to hear this Big Big Train song and not remember the recent passing of David Longdon. It's a mix of emotions of loss for David and hope of realizing the band's determination to overcome and continue the journey. In any case, the music survives, without any loss, in the voice of the new vocalist. The journey continues to the next station. Let’s go together ✨🚂💕 🇧🇷

[@robcroft5930]

I'm onboard!

[@mihaliprefti2507]

Agree and i will love the new changes equally- I’ve noticed continuation of style. David, RIP! I’ve got all your music and you will continue to be heard in my home while adopting the new singer.

[@carterlink]

I really wish they’d put out a live album of all these early performances with Alberto and the new members. I can’t stop watching these official vids. They absolutely nailed it.

[@lawrenceheadrick]

Next month.... Pre-orders now! Just in case you've been under a rock!! 😜🤣🤣 Jk! 😎

[@carterlink]

@@lawrenceheadrick Yeah, fully aware.😆 Can’t wait.

[@philiphurst831]

Today was mostly grim with the start of my second chemo cycle. Just climbed into bed, opened KZbin on the iPad and spotted this. It’s wonderful, brilliantly performed, engineered and produced. Thanks, Big Big Train, for brightening my day. Again. 😊

Sending prayers your way!

[@Laurobf]

I've seen this video more than ten times it's amazing how this version touches me. Bravin is perfect, it represents the place of Longdon very well.

[@multi-purposebiped7419]

Wonderful. Alberto Bravin obviously has a cosmic-scale task on his hands to follow David, but this performance really is crammed full of promise. I'm more excited than I ever thought I'd be. RIP David: you will never be forgotten. Now BBT lives on, and we can all rejoice.

[@RealBesty]

New faces, same wonderful sound and FEEL. So good!

[@graemewright182]

This was initially going to be a difficult listen being loaded onto KZbin so soon after the first anniversary of David Longdon's sad and untimely passing. But the new line-up deserves so much credit for increasing the dynamics of this seasonal song first released five years ago - Alberto Bravin does a sterling performance on vocals while Oskar Holldorf is a very competent and faithful keyboard player and Clare Lindley's slightly distorted violin towards the end is wonderful. Credit too to Dave Foster for a lovely guitar solo. Keep up the excellent work lads and lady

[@chrisgadsby5700]

I can't believe this song was released in 2017

[@yeswolf1]

New singer is excellent. RIP David.

[@gustavopuig9521]

Beautiful song, Alberto is amazing

[@wilkinsnl]

Gotta admit, I was worried about the future of BBT but I feel better now. I think David would appreciate this. Such a refreshing breath of a band.

[@maxvinella941]

It looks like the Train is moving up again....such a good news after recent tears...

[@scottkuester8946]

Alberto is awesome, but don't sleep on Dave Foster! He's gonna bring a LOT to this band too! ...and how cool is it that BBT make it a habit to have cameras around?

[@GeorgeVCT]

This is amazing. Hope to see you in the US

[@willswitchcraft]

the guitar and keyboards recall vibes of early Genesis tracks

[@yeswolf1]

I didn't think they would be able to match the incredible talents of David Logdon but they have indeed done it. Rock on, BBT. Please come to the USA west coast. RIP David. I hope you know how much we love and miss you.

[@carltiivas6131]

It's lovely to hear a great new Big Big Train line up.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.... What a song this is... With Alberto at the helm the train is firmly back on track and hope is restored! David will nevertheless never be forgotten...RIP you beautiful soul... ❤

[@wallisliss]

I have some eyeball moisture. I am SO HAPPY that BBT is continuing on. Thank you thank you thank you. Love your new vocalist!!!!!!!!!

[@philball7779]

Great version. My new favourite Xmas / winter song

[@EdZeroProg]

So beautiful performance, great job with Bravin!

[@sonicplys64]

What a beautiful song

[@TheGrumpyEnglishman]

Alberto is filling David's shoes so much better than I believed he could. So good to see Clare Lindley (ex Stackridge, DLM) in the new line-up too. RIP David Longdon.

[@warrenbutson122]

Beautiful song perfectly executed - thank you

[@timcorrell2090]

2024 cruise to the edge Can't wait!!!!!!!

[@MDMagneticDragon]

Such a gorgeous song. Thank you so much for this. My first time seeing the new lineup perform, and they nailed it! I love the passion they all bring, especially Alberto. Can't wait to see y'all when you come to the US! (West coast too please :) )

[@buffplums]

Alberto, Dave, Clare and Oskar you have done an amazing job and dome so very well in giving BBT a new direction. Greg, Nick and Rikard you guys are amazing and are so loved by all us passengers (I’m sure I speak for us all) David would be so proud I’m sure of the way that you have carried on, Greg this must hurt like hell but you are doing such a great work. Also to Rob for all you r outstanding engineering skills blessings to Sarah too thoughts with you at this very difficult time I’m sure xx … what an amazing and incredible band providing a much needed source of REAL music. Bless you all and wishing you all a happy Christmas

[@rfmaffe1]

What a wonderful sound of the Drums !!! Beautiful !!!!!!!

[@Drifter21031971]

Gregory, thank you for saving the band. Always waiting for BBT at the next station. Good luck!

[@daletaylor2354]

Stunning. David was a hard act to follow but Alberto, this is nothing short of superb 👏 Can't wait to see what's next for BBT

[@loucontino4804]

I came to Big Big Train many years ago through my admiration for the drumming of Nick, and they have never disappointed with their writing & playing. This song is no exception.

[@alistairmacdonald3813]

A beautifully written song by Greg and full of melancholic memories of David singing it. So pleased the band continues , everyone has worked too hard to let it go. Loving the line up , best wishes to all involved. And Thank You.

[@OldBloke]

A very underrated song, performed beautifully. It was such a great surprise on the set list at Aylesbury, and pleased to be able to hear it again. David is, and will continue to be sorely, sorely missed, but the train has a new direction and I for one am on board to see where we are going. Wonderful. Thank you.

[@buffplums]

Blessings to Greg in particular, I can only imagine how much he must be missing his band mate and good friend David.

[@Drifter21031971]

The new band has been born. Like the Phoenix! Bravo!.. RIP for David Longdon!

[@redleafbee6955]

One of my very favourite BBT songs and this is THE version. Wonderful.

[@davidguilfoyle]

That was really lovely. I got introduced to BBT during the time of David Longdon, Dave Gregory and Rachel Hall. It always take some time to readjust to a new line up but this was really good. So pleased that BBT are going strong.

[@malcolmclarke3033]

This is beautiful. Hairs on back of my neck standing up. So lovely.

[@LeeHardingakaFirmament]

It does seem strange seeing BBT and not seeing DL at the front singing but, honestly, this is just beautiful - very well done to Alberto and the current line up. Here’s to a bright, optimistic future for one of the best bands out there.

[@JulesAtCumbria]

What a beautiful video of a fantastic song, performed upliftingly by the band. A real Christmas treasure. Thank you!

I have been waiting with anticipation to hear the new lineup and it has been well worth it. The new members seem to fit perfectly and this is a fine song. Will be very interested to hear how the older material sounds live.

[@fredbloggs42]

Totally awesome. Typically beautiful melodies. Love the new lead vocalist. The best is yet to come!

[@todddale7041]

WOW! BBT sounds better than ever!

[@Lineageholder]

I didn't like 'Welcome to the Planet' and after David passed away, I felt that the band should call it a day, but this is a very powerful performance and gives me hope that they can still do great things. Well done Alberto, great vocal performance!

[@blackshadow604]

Was für eine geile Aufnahme!!! Merry Christmas to all at Big Big Train! I will ever remember David Longdon, but now I‘m looking forward with hope to a new album from Big Big Train.

[@MrAlguitar]

I had a ticket for this show, my first time to see this fabulous band live, even without the much missed DL. I couldn't make it the end, work called at the last minute, so I'm so glad to see this performance, even as a soundcheck. BBT still sound like, well, BBT. Apart from Alberto, who sounds brilliant, the other new musicians, Dave, Oskar and Claire, fit magnificently too! Bravo!

[@cluster1955]

Have no fear ! The band sounds different, but still amazing ... all is there to continue making wonderful music despite the tragic passing of David Longdon and some members leaving! Great!

[@johnbaligrodzki9672]

love this track so good to know this bands music will continue to be heard in a live context like this- we've all had a terrible loss but to add the loss of BBT would have been another sadness too far and too soon

[@r44heliflyer]

A great preview of next year's Blu-ray no doubt. At the Aylesbury BBT gig I was chatting to the photographer who told me there would be over 30 cameras recording the Zoetermeer show. I'm ready to pre-order!

[@Yodaajm]

Correct, they even used their web cams used for streaming during COVID

[@Peter23d]

Beautiful song! They didn't play it during the gig, though. It was a night to remember for ever. What a band!!!

[@BrendanCasey]

Truly wonderful. What a song. You know that feeling of trepidation you sometimes get when something new comes along in a different format and it niggles away a bit? That feeling disappears in the opening bars of this beautiful track. Amazing. I love it and it will be on loop. Chapeau to all, especially the new Passengers!
