I'm just about to hit 40 .... seen all sort of bands from AC/DC and Maiden through to Rush and Marillion and even the likes of Tom Jones and Rod Stewart nothing,,,, and I mean nothing comes cloes to Big Country Live. I was lucky enough to stand in the dark and watch in wonder ..... I count myself very, very fortunate.
@ABZswingers : me too, saw them only once, but i will never foget it. I did not think them being much of a band before i saw them live. A mate played their records and i thougt that it was a wee bit boring, how wrong was i :)..they were in a festival in my country and i actually wanted to skip them before the main act Fine Young Cannibals ( Who are they )...but decieded to give Big Country a chance. They took it and ive been a fan since...the summer of -86.
Hey mongo88now.. some people will not understand history. This is the first not a twat' band to play behind the iron curtain. Those boxercise girls can be seen backing David Bowie at Live Aid during "Heroes" and numerous Princes Trust concerts with Clapton and such.
Moscow in 1988 was another world. Big Country bothered to bridge the gap. This boxercise crap is indicative how much we have regressed. Sad.
The only good reason for being a Russian in Moscow in the 80s: the chance to see Big Country live and in great form!

The Berlin Wall did not come down until '89 - please bear that in mind.

Notice how the two backing singers are teaching the Russians how to Boxercise.
