Track 15. Big Country's last ever gig on US soil, The Sutler, Nashville, July 9, 1999. Using borrowed equipment, BC put together at short notice this gig while they were in the US filming the video for 'Fragile Thing'. Those lucky enough to be in attendance were in for a treat. Many thanks to Diss who had the foresight to film this gig and for his kind permission to post it.
@tootcliff u r so correct mate. even though i enjoy every single clip of big country on you tube, nothing will ever top the performance of fields of fire at the barrowlands.seen many a version and nothin touches it.

These Nashville yokels have no idea the significance, nor the brilliance of what's happening here...These boys had the Borrowlands throbbing 16 years earlier...Thank God someone thought to film it - so the rest of us can watch it every night...Bless you whoever you are... Love this performance - dive joint in TN of all places, crap instruments, crap mix....absolutely wonderful...RIP Stu.

Borrowed instruments and amps, no effects pedals, no sound mixer, but still magnificent.
