  • Remember reading an interview Stuart gave not long after the show commenting that it was difficult for Big Country to get their usual superb live sound, cos the organizers were too concerned about treating the big guest stars well, and less concerned with the acoustics and they had very little time to soundcheck. They did a bloody good job then! Stay Alive!!

  • Culture club won?

    Wow, that just goes to prove that all those awards

    shows mean nothing.

    How many legion still sing BC? How many CC?

  • Yeah, what a joke. Real talent comes a distant second to hype and gimmicks. Was the same back then, is the same now.

  • Thanks for posting this. I remember watching this live and being totally blown away by the sound and power and performance, been a fan ever since. Too bad they're only known for this song in the US.

  • Yeah, it's kind of the same story in Australia... so sad cos they were so damn good!

  • when is someone going to write a book?

  • OH, WOW!! Thanks for posting this! Hardly ever followed the Grammy Awards ever but I was at a friend's place during the Grammys that year and she was wouldn't miss the show for the world. Loved this band and this song and had to down another shot of Jack to get over the fact that Culture Club won in this category.

  • The mix on this was... less than ideal i guess but it's still an interesting clip

  • @markse4444 Isn't a further irony that the Culture Club drummer had actually drummed at one time for nascent BC? Maybe I just dreamt that, I don't know.

  • @BC1000stars They did get a better sound on SNL. I don't think I ever heard a louder band on that show.

  • @BC1000stars

    Thanks for posting this. It shows you love the band and the music.
