Stuart is dearly missed.......

Angle Park is such a beautiful song

[@BC1000Stars]

Magic. And this is one of the best live versions of it 😃

[@RichardCalladine-u1o]

Angle Park in modern parlance is a BANGER!!

I was there & still to this day one of the greatest gigs ever.... RIP Stuart.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

I want to give all these songs due credit, because they are all amazing but Wonderland in particular is phenomenal

[@davidb2095]

Life changing music. This live show was the first one I ever saw of the band from my small town in CT. My friend had the laser disc and watched it at his house. I was speechless. Still am. The roar of the crowd chanting and singing from the get go always gives me goosebumps. Legend. And Barrowland as well. This is musical nirvana.

A time machine to 40 years ago...thank you for sharing!

[@NeglectedField]

Weren't they just wonderful? Tight as hell, drummer with a great 'bounce' to his technique, an all round well-oiled machine, great crowd energy.

[@johnny5805]

It looks so real ! Almost like you are there ! 41 years ago ! How is that possible !? Bruce is an absolute engine ! He never stops playing. All those intricate and counter intuitive runs he plays ! (On a side note, does anyone know why Stuart swapped SG-2000's mid Fields of Fire, and then swapped it back for Harvest Home immediately after ? It sounded in tune, no strings were broken.)

[@BC1000Stars]

@@johnny5805 I asked someone in the know, he said he believed Stuart's guitar was, in fact, just slightly out of tune.

[@kevgamble]

Good catch. It does sound a little more in tune after the switch. If you listen to the last set of lead riffs he plays before the switch, it does start sounding slightly "off". Judging by Stuart's expression, he noticed it slightly before I could start hearing it.

Thank you so much for this. The memories this brings back in waves is quite emotional.

[@RichardCalladine-u1o]

One of the very best gigs i ever went to...Rock City Nottingham...84?...danced on the front row exuberantly joyfully and full of passion...will never forget...Stuart RIP AND THANK YOU❤😊

[@Rangecrosoft]

Best intro to The Storm ever.

[@melian2003]

As fresh and alive now as it was back then. Tremendous stuff!

[@larsmistensen4393]

Fantastic. Like a fresh venue from one day ago. And timing perfect. This BC soundtrack allways played while driving through half of Norway, 900 km, singing out loud in the car on my way to celebrate Xmas and NYE with family. Thank You So Much & A Happy New Year !

Elke keer als ik Big Country beluister, denk ik. Waarom zijn er in verhouding zo weinig mensen die deze muziek (band) kennen? Toen ik ze in 1983 voor het eerst op de Engelse radio hoorde, was ik meteen verkocht. Gitaren die klonken als doedelzakken. Nu ruim 40 jaar later ben ik er nog steeds gek op. Het laatste concert (met Stuart) in Zaandam in 2000 zit in mijn geheugen gegrift. Voor mij een echte jaren '80 band, die veel meer bekendheid had verdiend!!!

[@BC1000Stars]

Ik ben het met je eens: ze zouden populairder moeten zijn in de mainstream, maar wij zijn de gelukkigen, wij zijn degenen die weten hoe geweldig ze waren. De muziek van Big Country is ook niet eenvoudig. Het vraagt ​​meer van de luisteraar, maar de beloningen daarvan zijn zoveel groter.

[@sadowitz999]

Quality on this is unreal Best gig ever Never seen them until just over 2 years later but for me this is them at their very best Raw energetic and loud Stay Alive 😢

I'm 56 ! live in Argentina. Never had the chance to see Stauart live, but I followed him since I discovered In a big country at the radio in the 80'. Since then Im a terrible fan of him and the BC band, even my children still hears them. This music is an amazing company and always will be. !!

[@BC1000Stars]

@@andreslenton1268 Hi Andres, I’m the same as you. I’m in Australia and never got the chance to see them live with Stuart either. It’s great we have so much footage to watch though. Stay Alive!

Hi...I'm also 56 years old and I live in Texas.....BC fan so long that I have this concert on VHS!!!😂

@@digidrum2003 There was nothing more exciting back in the day than putting this VHS into the player and watching it on a small screen with a crappy television speaker. 😂 Look at where we are now with vision and sound but back then, nothing beat those days. Stay alive!

Thankyou 💚

[@petersneesby6396]

Wow thanks for posting the picture quality looks so much clearer I must say & it's good to watch some film footage taken from the actual Crossing tour back in 1983" I Just wished they also filmed the actual London Hammersmith Odeon show as well in it's full glory in which you can see parts of it in a documentary with BC + Interviews in which I forgot the name of now 🤔 ? From what I remember.

[@BC1000Stars]

@@petersneesby6396 yes, same here! It was the 'Play at Home' documentary. It's likely it was all filmed but sadly we'll never see it all.

[@petersneesby6396]

@BC1000Stars Thanks for the Reminder as I will try watching the "Play At Home" Documentary again 👍😉

[@Mudge07]

A special band, in a homeland venue, at a distinctly Scottish time of year. The event itself brought the energy of, “The Crossing” with the MkII line-up at its high plateau of performance. The additional Pipe Band showing how tradition and customs of the common folk were at the heart of Stuart and the band’s sound and songs. The professional camera angles and sound make this viewing even more of delight, and no lighters or mobile phones (‘83!) to distract the eye from a crowd fully enjoying themselves. Thanks Andy for the quality upload, new generations of fans need to feel the passion that BC shared with their audience.

I only saw Big Country once when they had Mike Peters fronting the band but being a big fan of The Alarm I really enjoyed the gig but it must have been great to see them at this time.
