Ha the loose suits really date this clip! I was in the mood for some old Big Country. I forgot what amazing musicians they all are. I saw them live in L.A. at the Hollywood Palladium. I'll never for get that what a night! Sure do miss Stuart, but I hope Big Country will get back together again with a new lead. I'd love to check em out all over again!
What a band!!!!!, dunno what else to say.Compare Big Country to the big bands of today like Coldplay ect for entertainment,musical talent and live shows, and in my opinion Big Country wins hands down.
First time today, the girl weren't shouting "Too loud Daddy!!!" when we drove about town. I still hope they will be able to get Stu's work without the f...ing Rap distraction. This vid is from 1986... I was at home trying to get the video2000 working... it was late and I was drunk and it never worked. Thank you WDR for this late relieve! The tape's still going round and round with goosebumps in my car :)
ok this is scary...i just listened to 'in a big country', and it got me thinking of vaughan williams...so i decide to listen to this and then 'lark rising'...and holy christ, both songs on the same clip...scary
i seen big country in dublin in early 90s and i swear it was one the best nites in my life and iv seen loads artist since but stuart had the audience in his hands its hard to explain but il never 4get it R.I.P big man!
I was very fortunate to have witnessed the Wonderland tour in Canada in 1986 when BC played "Canada's Wonderland" (I'm not kidding). Wonderland has always remained a very special song for me. I remember that concert like it was yesterday. Terrific music, technically strong, innovative and Stuart's gift of representing the common individual in strife and despair, but always with deep emotion and a hint of hope. Therein, he managed to connect us all like the great poets.
you will never leave my head stuart your music and guitar style and your band are special...i think they were one of the 1st bands I saw live when I was 18 and they blew us away in wolves...they played a great cover of dont fear the reaper...
shame the original music video of this song isnt on yet
Now I have seen the video and can actually comment. That shit is the Shitnizel 80s shit. Boomerang bang take me back baby, awesomeness in sparkling comstumes, cool looking symmetric hair and an akward on stage porformances with dreams of the stars. That is how you do it kings184007.
Hard to beleive only 2 years after this Big Country essentially self-destructed.
