@retrogradevids1 Indeed I do.

@retrogradevids1 ok the drums do have some interesting almost heritage passages (intro/outro) ...but for the main, you reckon "clop-a-blop-a-clop" is scots hip-hop?

Someone musta plodded in your ears before you listened to this, The drums are & exciting. They make a military cadence sound like the highland fling gone hip hop . Tony Butler's bass is innovative. I'd rather listen to his bass playing than most of root note sustained for 4 beats to the measure crap I hear on most new tracks these days. It was way different then the pop & slap every Bootsy , Stanley Clark , Larry Graham, & Flea wannabe that was being overkilled at that time.

@jackjude Yeah, I'll give you the bad sound comments - but listen to studio or other live versions and you will see (and hear) that BC had a shit-hot ryhtmn section and make no mistake about it.

@theoldwelshdragon ...could be be the age;) - listen to the drums, "plodding" through out - in fact from this listening, the rhythm section is very un-imaginative - and the trebly "bagpipe" guitars which is their sound - interweave in parts nicely but sound a bit beached - but I wouldn't say they shame today's music at all?

Good music like this never dies.

God bless those guitars. God bless them!!

Many thanks for putting this on. Is it just me or is it very clear that Big Country were 100% better than any band around today. Now it could be my age - sure - but I just think that this is more exciting, more sensual and more brilliant than anything Amy W or Artic had come out with. They seem black and white and this is pure sheer colour.

I really admire the collaboration between Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson. Finally it dawned on me how they were able to get guitars to occasionally sound like "bagpipes". It's as if two players were sharing one brain and two sets of hands. Such beautiful artistic and clear sounding notes. Far too many bands are content to just drown the listener in a cacaphony of noise but not these guys. Tony Butler's bass is distinctively heard but not overpowering Mark's percussion. I miss this band.
