I was thirteen and listened to this live on the radio and it blew my mind. It occurs to me if I had not done that, I might not be sitting here right now, at the other end of the world. It created a chain of events that led me here. Huh.

[@StrawberrySunday212]

Stuart really was a force of nature. Fantastic band, that bassist is amazing. Hope you found peace Stuart 💙 Thanks for the music, Sir.

Ich war dabei in Essen; in der Gruga-Halle. Als junger Mann. Unbeschwerte Zeit trotz Kaltem Krieg.

Goosebumps watching this. BC were the first band I ever saw live as a teenager on this tour. I even met them outside the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool before the gig. It was a proper OMG moment meeting them all and they were "the" coolest guys ever. Stuart really was something else, amazing guitarist, songwriter and his lyrics are pure poetry that should be written in stone for future generations to appreciate. Thanks for sharing this video and much love to all BC fans out there. #stayalive

STUNNING rhythm section. Mark and Tony are the backbone there. Great musicians.

[@Andre-si6ls]

The drummer is unbelievable good, Mark Brzezicki!

[@maDaleha65]

and you're very good too Andre..... for getting the spelling of Mark's surname right. Ha!Ha!Ha!. I always try to remember.... Br-ze-zicki. ;-)

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Such great quality. Stuart was one my actual guitar heroes. RIP. I saw them live twice in the 80s Where the rose is sown is just brilliant live

[@randyalexander2764]

This performance captures everything that was great about music of this time. Serious and beautiful and uplifting all at once. These artists poured so much of their energy into the audience. Big Country wrote and performed so beautifully. Truly appreciate this upload.

[@roymeadows1708]

Been looking for this for ages..Thank you..

Big Country - classic music🙂🙃😉

[@Stanky_doggo]

Thanks a million for posting. Had this on cassette... Know every note and word played it so much.., great to see the video as never got to before.... Used to picture it as open air festival setting oddly enough....BC were and remain my favourite band.... So much potential that i feel was never realised. Best live band i ever seen. Loved Stuart. Absolute artist. The other three lads are awesome musicians too.

[@hafibeat834]

Great Show! I saw it live on german television back in the days.

[@dabz___]

Thanks for posting this. Surprisingly great audio quality, especially with headphones

18 years old, had a curfew so had to be back in at 11 on a saturday. Tuned into this German channel. Had the VCR running before the first chorus and rewatched that old betamax to shreds. So nice to get reacquainted now. And that by a fellow Belgian I suspect?

[@ralfadler5166]

Phantastisch💯❤❤❤

[@paulcochrane1028]

Incredible band. Miss that guy.

[@gmansi]

Thanks for sharing

[@concordiapittsburgh2598]

Most rocking version of Where the Rose is Sown, ever!

[@Jinglejangleboy]

So great...

[@Jonathan-jj9uj]

Mark Brzezicki is a large part of what made the band "the Cult" so great. Timekeeping and tasteful appropriate fills that add to the arrangement

[@PUREKULTliveshows]

Right! See my livevideos from big country in ostend in 2022. Marck gave me his artistpass to watch the show on stage. I thanked him for making the Love album so special with his drumming. He told many stories about the recording sessions too😊

[@cupholder7758]

I miss you Stuart. RIP.

[@albertmoore7587]

These Guys were really good.

[@cabbey31]

[@dougieroberts7045]

I would love to know what that piece of classical music is at the beginning of this conert.

[@stubla71]

Btw, if you like that piece of music, then you'll find your own favourite rendition of it. 3 of mine are from iona brown, nicola benedetti, and Julia hwang (all found on here). Enjoy.
