[mogger2003]

Love this song - and love the enthusiasm of class musician enjoying themselves. Wonderful stuff

[twohandband]

and never gamble with a person named after a State of the Union, or a mojor city for that matter.......

[dshall27]

Love it

[Pawnfirst007]

5 people are tone deaf

[tedlpbc1]

This is as good as it gets. Does anyone know if this is on a commercially available DVD? Take a look at my post of Darrell with Mollie O'Brien and John Magnie at "Tedlpbc". Paul Brady is extraordinary!

[TAUNTONBLUEBIRD]

Absolutley love this version, can't stop watching it, all members of the house band having fun. Hope you're watching and enjoying it too Stuart. Miss you big man, Big Country "our name will never die, this time will be forever"

[rossbj138]

[Wizzywig2009]

A bunch of good mates having a laugh, and doing it awesomely :)

[MercedesMorcerf]

4 People dont know what good music is.



[rainharper62]

Good song, sometimes musicians don't get the recognition they should from the public forum, only from other musicians who know how good they are

[vlcakkazan]

Výborné aranžmá a společně s dudami je to výborná píseň-prostě nářez!

[HarryBrown1955]

Hi guys. My name is Harry Brown. I'm an enthusiastic pub singer (you can check out the sort of thing I do of by typing into Youtube .....Harrybrown1955 (no gaps). I Love this song am aware of the late Stuart Adamson connection and would like to find out how I can acquire a license agreement to use the melody and change the lyrics to compose a song for an upcoming event. Ive been toWarner Chappell who apparently own the Pub rights but hit a wall. How do I do a deal with SA's estate please?

[passinItOn]

The band is wonderful. Darrell should've remembered the line, "you don't mess around with a manic depressive"-They took that out of the original lyrics fpr some reason, I guess it isn't Kosher, but you know, maybe the next generation will get it. Song writing is in demand at a full.

[MrCopperhead1861]

This is the best thing I've seen all day :D Paul is just a man who loves music no matter it came from.

[macgyver1macgyver]

Thanks for uploading this video. It's a great song. I'm a uilleann piper in a large band that features all the instruments in the video (minus the accordian and steel guitar) so I'm pushing for the band to add it to our repertoire.

[gsm1881]

How sad that an American had to bring Stuart's music to transatlantic sessions in Scotland. It shows how much esteem he is held in in Scotland by the establishment. You should be ashamed. Great cover by Darrell scott and Paul Brady of a brilliant song.

[syncopater999]

Darrell Scott and these musicians together is utterly sublime. I have enjoyed all of the videos featuring Darrell and also Tim so much it is hard to put it into words. This music truly stirs the soul.

[glastron235]

Dont mess around with a man in Black!!!!!These cats remind me of a Scotch Irish version of the HIGHWAYMEN.. I AM HOOKED

[woodscritter]

@glastron235

And ... the Yanks.

The Sessions totally hooked me, some time back.

[Utoober67]

Freakster1970

More Scott, Brady, O'Brien, Molsky and Mattea.....Too much to ask?

[SuperbaFrango]

Great stuff, a fitting tribute to the late and oh so sorely lamented Stuart Adamson.

[BodaciousWickerman]

My favourite performance on Transatlantic Sessions along with the Catriona McKay ones.

[jennitannerloyd]

great music all around..Just discovered this group.Will be going out to  purchase this.Darrel is real music.

[jennitannerloyd]

this is what good music sounds like..heart and soul love this

[pumpergoodstyle]

better than the original mon the adamsons

[parsman11]

A fitting tribute to a lovely guy.

[dak668]

Is there any album with Darrell and the entire house band like here? I've found so many videos of these sessions with Irish and folk sound and was curious if they have a full length album with these songs.

[Freakster1970]

Has anyone thought about who they would love to see on the Transatlantic Sessions? I can think of a few on my Transatlantic wish list ! Steve Earle, Levon Helm and Greg Brown.

[soozikins]

special

[patchuss]

What a great bunch of players. Nothing beats music of that quality.

[nikrguy]

great group playing.

[cretinbob]

I've got something in my eye

[sissy1678]

What a tribute....what a song!

[Dougster71]

the big man wouid be so proud im sure ,a great cover and tribute to scotlands no1 stuart adamson

[needsfixt]

I love that powerful line..."you can't bank on redemption,if you ain't saved..."

[parsman11]

what a fitting tribute to the late Stuart Adamson...his music lives on.

[PaulandRick]

This is truly awesome. My name is Paul Brady and my dah is Paul Brady. We were both born in Northern Ireland We each play guitar and sing. My dad is one hell of a yodeler and old country crooner and I am more of a Stan Rogers billow er.

Seriously, Do you think we could be related.

[SlickSmooth22]

America and Ireland just have this gorgeous relationship in music. I'm half Irish in blood and I feel half Irish musically too. It makes sense that my favorite music is Blues, Bluegrass, and Celtic... I was born and raised American and I trace back to Ireland and Scotland.

[sokkerstud32]

I'm Scott-Irish as well and have always loved bluegrass and celtic and folk. maybe it just runs in our blood... something genetic calls us home to this beautiful music.

[tgbstafford]

i agree, it's in our scott-irish blood.

[mjgfox]

It must run in mine too, I get cold chills when when I hear a good tune.

[Pawnfirst007]

@sokkerstud32 ive ponderd the genetic idea myself this music dose seem to draw the attention of something within me and i feel some sort of connection with it.

[zzmaevezz]

Love this ...cant stop playing it over and over and over.....Just magnificent

[coffeescup]

this guy is so great! everything i want it to be and more.

[BardofCornwall]

Excellent, and it's nice to hear Brady do something a little more country.

[ardarabhoys]

unreal song

sweet to da beat

[Swanagewoman]

Jim Etherington, a legend from Purbeck in Dorset, great guitarist and singer does an amazing redition of Shattered Cross, best I have ever heard!!!

[Zvendar]

Great song

[gsm1881]

Many thanks Tomtscotland for all your wonderful videos. Especially this one, great version of a beautiful Stuart Adamson song.

[sissy1678]

Keep playing this one...and every time I am moved to sadness....Beautiful song, brilliant version!

[SavedandSound]

My thanks to Kerpatricia for sharing. Brilliant song, thanks for sharing!

Debra xxxx

To tomtscotland: great vid, exceptional quality. Nice job!

[joshuncc]

Anyone know where to chords are posted for this song? I haven't found anything, but my best guess so far is that it is Capo 2, Em7, Gadd9, Dsus4, C2 for the most part. Now, the difficult part is getting that incredible sounding strum down part.

If anyone has anything to add, or a site that already has this posted, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to spend some time listening to this and creating some chord sheets for myself!

Great song!

[potatoehead54]

how are you playing c2??

[joshuncc]

I was playing it:

032033

[joshuncc]

I was playing it:

032033

It may be called something other than C2, but I think that's what it is called.

[potatoehead54]

na man thats Cadd9 but its cool

[joshuncc]

Dude, you're very right. I can't believe I messed that up ;-)

Cadd9 (we often call it a 'cheater C')

Thanks!

[potatoehead54]

well it doesnt matter wat u call it as long as u play it

[alf4429]

superbe, enchanteur, on ferme les yeux et on y est. Remember JeanPi, thank you very much for this moment...

[SMASH26T]

Wow

[weeweelegs]

[hagtar12]

This tune is also on Darrell's latest CD. This is a great version.

[redimprob]

Saw some of the series on BBC 4, now I`ve got the DVD and I`m totally hooked (hope I don`t where the DVD out) I`m not a bluegrass or C & W fan, but the mixture with celtic-folk-rock style music works a treat. Wonderfully talented muscicians, having a great time too ! I dare anyone not to get hooked with this DVD.. Gotta have more chaps. I`ve started checking out all the artists,and what a singer Joan Osbourne is. Thankyou guys...

[zzmaevezz]

[signalnorth]

[con5lfc]

"and nobody smiled when we knew what was lost"

RIP STUART ADAMSON

[alangibson73]

Stuart Adamson - an absolute gem. Great version of this wonderful song. Magic

[LochMeikle]

Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever".

All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.

[richyt3951]

first time i watched this i was stoned out my face and found ot on tv ithe big guy playin the pipe made me so hapyp for some reason purely becouse of the enjoyment hes gettin from playin plus he looks around and winks at everyone pure genius this song ...cheers

[pcz911]

What a loss.

RIP but his music lives on.

PCz

[graystan1944]

many thanks for these postings i am getting loads of enjoyment from them i keep playing them over and over

[redlorry4t]

This is a fantastic performance from all of the musicians for all to see.

The songwriting of the much missed late great Stuart Adamson should be explored more by other artists the guy was simply a genius and underated by so many .

[CarlBewley]

Wow, amazing cover. The musicianship is astounding. Stuart would have loved it I'm sure.

[sevy43]

Great cover.RIP Stuart adamson.Our time will never die.

[karlovy123]

Brilliant!!  Stuart is rockin' with you in spirit!

[DaWgsRoCk]

Rockin Cover!

[jsuffolk1972]

awsome,cheers!

a big cheers to Darrell scott and Paul Brady and the rest of the guys.

from a huge Big Country fan.

all the best,

jan.

[jbairlock]

WOW what an amazing tribute. I'm sure he would have loved to hear this. A truly inspiring soul and missed so much.

[ginger131271]

rip stewart adamson absolutly stunning

[tomtscotland]

Surely you can't get better?

Darrell and Paul's vocals with the band fairly ripping along with counter melodies and beats - just listen to Ronan Browne on those uilleann pipes 5 stars is not enough!

[tomtscotland]

The opening tribute refers to the late Stuart Adamson - vocalist and guitarist with "Big Country".

Big Country were massive in the 80's with anthemic songs and a ringing bagpipe-like guitar sound.

[syncopater999]

@tomtscotland

No you really can't get better than this blend of local and american virtuosos together with the outstanding vocal and guitar talent of the amazing Darrell Scott. Sublime indeed.

[orangeiceice12]

@tomtscotland I didn't know he was from Big Country :/

Thanks for sharing that man
