Big Country - The Teacher live

[Falwiz]

Effing amazing guitars

[twonky721]

Great video to this song. 

[lee2217]

We talked and smoked all through the night

You led me where I had no sight

Till birdsong broke the morning light

And I was weak with strange delight

probably the best lines in a song ever

[regaffairs]

after about 3 minutes, they really start to tear it up! play it loud. Tony Butler fabulous

[cejannuzi]

The lines of influence go: Skids (Stuart Adamson on guitar) to U2, while at the same time Stuart was forming Big Country. U2's commercial success had an effect on many 'big music' bands--BC, Armoury Show, Waterboys, the Alarm, and even Echo and the Bunnymen. But that was mostly with big label A&R.

[impellernut]

Sit back and think about what that bass player is doing in this song. He is chording and for all intents and purposes after the walk he does he is basically playing a rhythm and bass part at the same time. genius.

[halocrap360]

u2 riffs my ars

[TheCollierylad]

seeing these 05/01/2011, not the same without Stuart Adamson, but still three of the original band

[Artisanian1]

Sorry for being an idiot and spelling Stuart wrong

[Artisanian1]

Phenomenal! Stewart was gorgeous and so much talent def something about Scottish men! I can hear a hint of Hank Marvin in this...

[lsouix1]

I love their voices! They make me feel like I am somewhere else.

[TheCollierylad]

These are so underated it's unreal, I'm an old 50 now but I still love good live music.Last gig I saw feb 2010 Europe, hard rock now

[rockport01966]

I'm hearing some U2 riffs in there

[markse4444]

@rockport01966

Really?

I always assumed that it was the other way around-but that's just me.

[twonky721]

"We talked and smoked all through the night" . . . . where else on earth can hear words like that . . .

[oldiesforever51]

another wonderful piece of evidence for his great genius. I love this. +++RIP STU+++ You're truely missed...

[Daviddlewis73]

lucky 2 meet Stuart several times very humble guy prefers mini coopers 2 bmw,s

[Teetee33]

This song changed my life in 1986. Made me nuts for this place called Scotland, and once I was finally old enough to realize my dream of seeing it, I did. Just wish I could have seen Stuart too before it all had to end. Love you forever, Stuart Adamson. Rest in peace--and thank you for all of it.

[mymyselfandi69]

first song i hear from then. amazing .

i buy this live video in my holyday in scotland whitout having a player at this time.....

i love the music from BC R.I.P Stuart

[cvhf650]

one of the most underrated bass players of all times, this guy here. this bassline was off the damn chain

[ipykipyk]

@cvhf650 Tony Butler = pure quality!!!!

[kmac100]

like all other bc tracks it stands the test of time- just as good now as it was then, sadly missed.

[locheelad2]

why...too good..tune and lyric

[pelusidae]

Fabulous music, has inspired me to put on "The Seer" again, what a timeless talented band, we do miss you Mr. Stuart!

[Tullywho]

I've always loved this tune, along with "The Seer." This whole album made the summer of '86 beautiful for me. I would listen to this, "Look Away," and "One Great Thing" in the morning, then go to my summer gig as a janitor at my old grade school (I was in college at the time) in a great mood. Then, my senior year, Peace in Our Time was released. These guys literally were the soundtrack to my '80's! They were one of the finest bands of all time.

[ma42her]

just had to echo your comments absolutely spot on. 1986 what a great year. RIP stuart.

[i4bc]

awe..listen to the Guitar rip at the start...The Edge take a back seat..SEE YOU HEAVEN STUART !!!...cheers for the post

[OCOrbits]

On the top of their game- I saw them around this time in LA. What a show- never come close to having that much fun at a concert again. Regret not seeing them more.

What a magnificently talented band

[RLF777]

Spiritual Warfare Music !

[restlessnative77]

One word. Amazing. A truly irreplaceable band that nothin will ever match.

[theirishinc]

YES! AMAZING BAND! RIP STUART

[animalexorcist]

25 years on, todays equivalent would be?????? Exactly. There isn't one.

[brianbigcountry]

big country may never got the air play they deserved but live who couid hold a candle 3 them

[sdhunterx]

Bloody brilliant. Great song played live. CHEERS.

[kevsul47]

1986..they were really flying then.the clips from this gig, "inwards" and "remembrance day" in particular, are magnificent.

[provoira]

Fuckin awesome song....gotta love the big guitars!!!! God love ya Stu and the band!!!

[headlongthruthegloom]

This is really cool. Much better than the studio version I think.

[paulmichaelwills]

Thanks - not often you hear Stuart use a tremolo

[sith1971]

Thanks for post this great live song.

[Tullywho]

Yep. Bruce Watson and Stuart Adamson were a two-man guitar orchestra. Every once in a while, God brings folks together and what I'm seeing and hearing right now is one result. Talk about musical chemistry! It's just too bad it had to end like it did. R.I.P. Stuart Adamson.

[HumGuitar]

Fantastic, incredible, thank you! I love the feedback of the guitars at the beginning! Great clip!
