First gig I ever went to was Big Country in Dublin when I was 14. Had to tell my mother I was going to a science exhibition with the school ! What a night, what a band, what a shame Stuart Adamson is no longer with us- pure class !!
Everybody's dancing, that's the only spirit u must ever known, it's the best the most original, its the harvest & the divine one . . go all into it / enjoy . . here's eternity , come on board =)
I remember this at the time - they deserved the acolyde of having a live set go out live on BBC2 at the time - best live act around at the time, I saw them on this tour at Wembley Arena on Friday 12th December 1986 - my 1st ever gig, and it remains the best gig I've been to. This particular is a barnstromer.. Why has Angle Park not been uploaded from this concert. Big song that one.
@sodacakeblues That night was my first ever gig as well. Truly amazing night. I lost count the amount of times I saw them after that. My daughter has music in the blood but I cannot get through to her the emotions felt at the time that will never be repeated. Can't belive it is nearly 10yrs since we lost the big man
That Les Paul Stu`s playing has an awesome tone!Come to think of it i wonder whats happened to all Stuarts guitars?Seen him playing some very nice ones over the years...?An ex Stuart Adamson Yamaha SG2000 would be well worth having!Peace ye`all!
Sheer brilliance saw them on this tour,Dec 86at the NEC B'ham totally awesome concert. The audience were really crazy that night. They did 4 encores. Magic time...you should have been there! RIP Stuart. Thanks for posting.
I used to have this on video. I remember taping it off BBC2. It was such a bad copy but I still watched it all the time though. Made the mistake of lending it to someone and haven't seen it since. Thanks for uploading this. I would so love to have this on DVD.

Fantastic, especially the extended instrumental at the end, the way the bass dances around the main melody line is incredible.
