I'm now 62 and I will die a happy man as I was lucky enough to see the best live band ever 11 times . Stuart Adamson was in a class of his own 🎸

[@waynemoore7393]

Your a lucky man .. we don't have exceptional stage people like this anymore..

[@joannehiggins1005]

Saw them once, intimate gig, maybe 500 people. Absolutely flawless performance. Spectacular talents.

[@collmac1974]

Lucky indeed!! was never privileged enough to see them live, but so spot on with your comment, the guy was in a class of his own ❤a proper musician 👌with raw talent, unfortunately legends like Stuart don’t exist anymore 😊

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Stuart Adamson was the most brilliant guitarist and songwriter I’ve ever seen.👍🤗🎸

[@waynemoore7393]

Sensational this man was, and his band although playing second fiddle were excellent as well..RIP brother you are missed terribly......

[@mauricemorning]

If Springsteen had written and recorded this it would have won a Grammy!

[@langheproperty]

I was 36 when Stuart died and I cried like a baby... Real greatness. Sadly missed.

[@colmac1849]

I still cry for our Stu .. I'm a 55 year old man and I can't believe you are gone .. I was privileged to see you live in Belfast twice .. Thank you for coming when many shunned us because of the troubles .. Best Scottish band ever xxx rest easy big fella X

[@phillipfurlong3507]

The guy was a genius and gentle man have met him a few times after gigs a class act and person.....can't buy that

[@johndegney8911]

[@craigsmallman1035]

Pure emotion pure class pure band

[@glenlucas8855]

11000 views ,cannot comprehend ,should be 11000000

[@leekerswell4328]

this band are truely unbeliveable never had the joy of seeing them live, judging by this video they are second to none ive seen some big band but none capture a crowd like this, thank you dad for bringing big country into my life r.i.p dad maybe youve shared a beer with big stu

[@BasswipeNC]

I never saw them either but listened to them a LOT.

[@craigsmallman1035]

Seen them 3 times but sadly all 3 times without Stuart..which is obviously a massive difference..would give my right arm to have been at this gig

[@johnmacintyre3113]

I saw more times than I care to mention , unbelievable live, best live band ever love them

[@roddowning5665]

Best Band EVER! I was a DJ in The 1980"s ..Listened to tons of Music... But nothing rips my Heart Out like Stu & Company. The lyrics alone can make me cry even now.

[@JWCFB]

Check this out, I’m a hard rock guy and my friend is a heavy metal guy and he comes up to me at work and hands me a cassette with 5 Big Country songs on it and it freaked me out. I had only heard In a Big Country on MTV and I didn’t like it. So that night I put the cassette in and the 5 songs were King of Emotion, You Dreamer, 13 Valley’s, Peace In Our Time, and Alone. The guitar work blew my head off. I just kept playing that cassette over and over and turning it up louder each time. I’m 63 years old now and a lifelong music collector. Stuart Adamsson is in my top 10 of guitar players I’ve ever heard and I have heard over 100,000 guitar players. My friend who gave me that cassette, he is in the top 10 best guitarist I’ve ever heard as well, I should have known Big Country would kick my ass. What a special band. I live in Kentucky and I know there’s at least two people in Kentucky that are ape poop crazy about Big Country. They are always in my regular rotation and I still cry sometimes when I listen to Stuart play his guitar. Thank you for blessing me so much Stuart, I love you.

[@jkeaney7]

Well said ! Welcome to the party 💥🙌🏻

[@JWCFB]

@@jkeaney7 Thank you JK

[@timgiblin2288]

Saw this tour in St. Louis, MO March 1993. This video gives me chills, the music world will never see the likes of this ever again...

[@LMac1970]

This is one of the songs I will always remember.

[@glenlucas8855]

isabelle you are the worlds greatest big country fan , by a long way ,thank you

[@Bluemooners09]

R.I.P big guy forever missed.

[@LAURAM0822]

I wonder if people at this gig knew how lucky they were to witness this just watching the video gets me right in the heart ;)

[@johnmacintyre6231]

Laura M I was there that night and witnessed something truly amazing, still get goosebumps watching it

[@kennymackenzie298]

Rock and Roll at its finest. RIP Stuart

[@mikeleighton9891]

[@robharper7390]

Still miss Stu so much

[@kennethfarrell743]

Rob Harper best gig ever seen in Edin

[@CTMUSIC70]

Who in the name of Greek Buggery would give this a thumbs down? Typical musical perfection from Stu and the boys . Stay Alive!

[@goj09dale]

Must be french, “confound them” or maybe just the “gas man”.

[@vinniesisser3126]

Beautiful piece that erupts into such a powerful flight. We may not be a ton of folks but we all appreciate this guy.

[@soyghost1]

i am really grateful for this great footage of a lot of big country that never made it across the sea to the us...they really stuck to their guns and their sound...a brilliant band of musicians, a great poet, writer and singer in stuart ( not to mention their incredible and ego-free guitar sound)

[@soyghost1]

my favorite version of this song-- soul to burn

[@nickowchar2001]

Pure magic

[@DuncanMcintyre-jk3qb]

55 and still keeping the flame burning Coyp and rip Stuart

[@glenlucas8855]

Probably my favourite video on youtube

[@garystewart7508]

the big man and the boys on top form as always at the barrowlands the best live band by a mile sheer joy to be in that crowd watching the genius giving us a ball

[@jazzmahobian]

Takes it to another level on this version. Great live performance!!!

[@trickydicky1971]

Isabelle87, you have no idea how much I enjoy your posts! Would like to say A big thank you

[@gareth630]

In my opinion the best tour by the band,still miss the big man, still go and see them, now in the DNA.

[@davidmcalpine2050]

Best ever, named my son after STUART

[@BC1000Stars]

at 4.10 they're just cruising... then Stuart presses the "kick ass" pedal at about 5.00

[@LAURAM0822]

I'm back, 😍 thee best 👌

[@AngelaWhitehill-jd3kp]

[@frankbaaske3449]

[@akiuliano]

[@principedesiderio]

pelle d'oca....

[@skapaul69]

Thank you and still thank you for the dedication. Soon I shall be able to make you the same on the same title (superb song which is well worth being listened ' under all angles ' still and still).

[@sharonmcgibbon5692]

The best live band I ever saw. Wonderful. This performance has me in tears every time. Saw Bruce, his talented son, and Mark last year at Minehead Giants of Rock. Loved the way they still set up Stuart's mic and stand, as though he is still with us. Or will suddenly turn up and play. The lad obviously had problems, but thank you Stuart Adamson for touching my life, and bringing joy to it.

[@stuartlawsonbeattie1411]

God bless you Brother.

[@davidfairbairn8]

Canny beat the barras fir a crazy gig!

[@glenlucas8855]

[@carlhodgkins8047]

better band

[@ben_jamin160]

where were you ?

[@Sadowsky1965]

Great voice great sound, but it makes me sad to see BC playing on a small stage for a small audience. It's a pity they almost immediately lose the Big Wheel spins. They deserved it.

[@davidfairbairn8]

Sadowsky1965 no, you see this is the barrowlands Glasgow. small venue but the biggest of atmospheres. unbelievable place, we just don't have bands like this anymore to make it tick.

[@BC1000Stars]

at 4.10 they're just cruising... then Stuart presses the "kick ass" pedal at about 5.00

[@jazzmahobian]

+BC1000stars That's exactly how I'm feeling. This already fantastic tune explodes at that point.
