R.I.P. Stuart. But the band has produced so many good songs they deserve to continue as long as they like. New singer is good, I liked The Alarm in the 80´s. (Yeah, I am not 20)
Nigel x man. Please don't say that. Of course it matters. It'll never be the same without Stuart. If only BC got the recognition back in the 2000's that they're getting now, I feel Stuart would still be with us. However Regarding your comment, I feel it a little heartless. All the best anyways. Everyones entitled to their own opinions
I respect Tony, Bruce, Mark and the new members Jamie and Mike but...let´s be honest, watching this and not seeing Stuart is very sad. They should change the name of this band. I believe that a name is a very strong thing . Big Country was and will be forever Tony, Mark, Bruce and Stuart.
I liked that the guys came back, but I was expecting something new and not something that looks like a desperate try to get money. Stuart was the heart and soul of this group.
Bring it out on what ever. I still have the VHS of the GREAT STUART ADAMSON singin those same songs and THE 3 BOYS PLAYING THOSE SAME SONGS FROM THE HEART, HOLD THE HEART, IT MY ALL TIME FAV. The beatles never went live when John died.........................
Looking forward to staying the night in Edinburgh on the 21st April to see Big Country .. Must try dig out my checked shirt for the night .. Looks like a great night in store.
My dad just bought me tickets for the two of us to see Big Country in London. It was a surprise present for xmas and I can't wait! I'm only 17 and have been a fan for ages but my dad has been a fan since they started and saw the original line-up 5 times!
The Birmingham show was amazing. It was full of emotion and Mike Peters, 'representing' Stuart, as he put it, was the best man to convey the passion and integrity of BC's music. Wonderful.
Went to the Birmingham show Friday 7th Jan 2011. Unbelievably good, Mike is just an awesome front man in whatever he does. He more than did justice to Stuart's memory. Bruce really led the band well too - he was very impressive. These clips are good but as with most live bands you cant put the power of these guys across without being there. I can see some good collaborations in the future between BC and the Alarm - the two best bands live. Mike you are a true gent - and a great man.
Edinburgh tickets booked, very best wishes to everyone involved for the "new" year, was at many of the 80s scottish venues, looking forward to April, and seeing it all over again
Hogmanay was my 40th birthday and my wife took me to see Big Country at this gig in teh ABC. Very emotional, and utterly brilliant. This is, was and always will be the best live scottish band EVER!
Amazing video! I can't wait to get to see the best band in the world again!. Oxford here we come! Brilliant to see the band in HD. Jamie looks as cool as his dad (almost!). Mike's done a great job. Tony and Mark are as amazing as ever. What a year 2011 is going to be for BC fans. Happy, happy days!
