  • This is by far my favourite YouTube video. Looking forward to seeing them at the Hexagon Reading. RIP STUART ADAMSON

  • the edge is agreat guitarist but stuart was on another planet.

  • Agree 100% mike great comment so true

  • what year was this?

  • This looks like the seer tour...Bc were always brilliant live

  • The dancing is terrible ha ha!

    Love these lads x

  • stuart rocks r i p

  • The Edge, or anyone to the fact can come even close to Stuart.

  • Tony Butler rules!

  • man there are some bands i like to listen to, then there are some bands that the sound just resonates though me and i feel i actually am living inside the music i cant adequately describe it but this is one of those bands, since 83 love u stuart r.i.p.

  • They could play a bit, couldn't they?

  • awesome, what more can i say, sheer beauty

  • Stuart Adamson, Legend :-)

  • ¡ADORO PROFUNDAMENTE , ESTA CANCIÓN!!!!.....No se que dirán en su letra, pero me encanta su melodía y ese sonido de la guitarra del cantante...¡TODO!, ¡TODO! me encanta ¡TODOOOOO!!!!

  • @mikeofdoom: in the dictionary, next to the definition of "nailing it", there's a picture of YOU.

  • every inwards...

  • really listen to the skids scared to dance to learn were the edge got the riffs from, had the pleasure to see the skids live ace

  • exceptional even by their standards.

  • SOO VERY BLOODY TRUE!

  • Up in heaven Stuarts jamming with Hendrix,John Entwhistle John Lennon and John Bonham !! How cool would that be !! Tell ye what Jimi Hendrix will be well impressed by Stu` ! Peace Ye`all fi Scotland !!

  • Boy, Bruce really has some moves there.

  • nothing compares to this!

    End of!!

  • Cant argue with that!

  • Thanks for posting. I'm a huge Big Country fan and this is my favorite BC song.

  • Back in the day, I danced my ass off to this killer tune. Thanx for the memories..

  • I LOVE Big Country! Thanks for posting this.

  • FhakunA! Big country is THE artist's smokey vision!

  • It warms my heart that, no matter how hard he tries, or how many FX racks he buys, 'The Edge' will never, fucking ever, be Stuart Adamson.

  • The Edge has said how Stuart was a big influence to him ! Fair Dues !! Big Stu`s one of my biggist influences also ! Anybody know the Digital delay settings for the intro`?

  • @mikeofdoom You are correct sir!

  • @mikeofdoom I'm totally with you Mike, the 'edge is a pale imitation when compared to Stuart's guitar playing ability. Let's also not forget Nobo would sell his children to Satan to have some of the genuine charisma and vocal talent that Stuart Adamson had.

  • @mikeofdoom This is so right I might just make it my Facebook status

  • @mikeofdoom

    Bono could never hit those notes either, not that solid.

  • @mikeofdoom Agree 1005 mike, great comment, so true

  • brian u are a nutter

  • Go Brucie!

  • still sendsshivers down my spine .big country were awsome live ,always gave 100% did u all know the crossing got voted no1 album in scotland ,,i miss stuart and big country

  • I heard someone was compiling a top 5 Scottish songs just recently (Think Dignity by deacon Blue was No1) The Crossing deserves it though ! But Deacon Blue were pretty shit hot also !!

  • great! i love this song! a scottish punk rock, remember the skids!

    thanks for posting

  • "And on the seventh day God created...Hash..Big Country..and Digital Delay Pedals"

  • One of the greatest songs from one of the greatest live bands ever. I never tire of them. RIP Stuart. Thanks for posting.

  • Great voice and great guitar unique guitar player and a HUGE loss! R.I.P Stuart.

  • TEMON!!! UNO DE LOS MEJORES TEMAS DE BIG COUNTRY, SALUDOS DESDE PERU xD

  • Well you certainly are appropriatly named!!Really well thought out argument you put there!!YAWN.....

  • you have not got a clue dipshit

  • And when people see tou they simply shout "Wanker"!

  • You , Sir , are a WANKER!

  • Unpredictable is what you are your brain has yet again ceased to function probably not for the first or last time so lets try kick starting it back into life with an extra dose of acid crack or whatever it is you are taking and just try to listen to what millions of other people think of what is one fucking great band !!!!!!

    PS: Your brain is probably like a lift it does not go all the way to the top!

  • Hope thats not a reply to my point pal!I love this band and stay just across the river from Stuarts hometown!

  • certainly not replying to dipshitarsewipe see p2 saw BIG country in 83 loved them ever since !

  • Is it because i mentioned Hash..?Thats a bit reactionery and judgemental dont ye` think!Ye` been watching that old scare movie "Reefer Madness"(see Hawkwind)!If you think BC sound awesome straight,after a blow it`ll be sending shivers up yer spine mate!Although they do that to me lucid as well sometimes!Yeeesh...!Look im not saying you should DO IT im just saying music can sound better!Peace ye`all!

  • Quite simply AWESOME!

  • You can't compare two bands as music is entirely subjective. You can comment on technical ability to a degree and Rush are superlative musicians all round and well recognised for it. BC country are no slouches either but I don't think get the recognition they deserve....I'm not a big Rush fan but I would never try to say BC are a better band even though I prefer them myself...

  • i like rush too and everyone has influences,like me, like 2 think i'm niel peart..lol.just enjoy both bands. but have a wee soft spot 4 big country cos they rock.

  • the guitarist destroys alex lifeson from rush. in fact so does the whole band.

  • Hey hey hey, what are you talking about? Rush and BC are my favourite bands, but at their instruments Rush is the better, no doubt. I love BC aswell, and I do think Mark is a pretty neat drummer, but don't put them up against Rush.

  • please don't compare hippie retards like rush to BC.

  • Uhm... Hippie retards? You're fucking incredible mate. Alex, Geddy and Neil are pioneers at what they do! You were the one who first started comparing musicians. I suggest you look around on the tube, Rush ARE the better musicians. Still needs to be said though, I love BC!

  • i know...wot was he on....i want some.

  • Stirring stuff. Love this band so much. Stuart!!

  • isint it amazing how shit hot they were live

  • You think you had problems ? My mum tapped over this with an episode of Delia Smith ffs !!!

  • I had this on vhs and my cunt of a brother taped over it,needless to say i slapped his fucking ear,best band ever,RIP STUART.

  • Oh my god!!!!!

    So Many happy memories.

    Thanks.

  • they have the deepest most heart-felt lyrics of anybody i have ever seen...i worship this band

  • awesome, sorry 4 stuart, i recently loos my best friend. Godd memories God Bless.

  • awsome song

  • Great band,Great Song,Great Shame.Bye Stu! His writing was very much in the "Folk-Rock" tradition and having just re-discoverd BC as an adult I'm blown away by the man's lyrics(eg-the songs on the "Steeltown" album-my personal favorite) I was into them in a big way between the ages of 12 and 15-and I didn't know anything then so I didn't realise how good those lyrics were then-I just knew I LOVED those tunes.Now I'm back into the band in a big way.

    The Only Living Boy In Durham

  • Know what you mean. My story is similar. I'm so into them again and totally awestruck by his lyrics! It's great to be able to appreciate them from an adult perspective. Stuart had such thoughtful wisdom. Perhaps this world is too much for someone who feels so deeply. Bless him!

    Can't wait to see the boys tour again! Here's hoping for a 2008 US Tour. :)

  • Back into the band in a big way....Aye....you,me and quite a few others.They still rock!.

  • One of my favorite BC songs. But I always miss in live

    versions that dizzying guitar bit at the end of the recorded version. Still great though.

  • what a song

  • Great version of this song, I like the way they do the guitar intro.
