I agree. We all recover from things and don't pretend you are alone or strong b/c you are not. steps.
Great to hear "this is more than emotion". I've always felt that about Stuart. In 84, when I heard Steeltown, I ran away scared! Then I heard 'Wonderland'....
Let's keep this grounded for Stuart and his bandmates who contributed so incredibly to the music. There are many shelves. Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Beatles already have space.
Big Country has a whole shelf.

I shouldn't do this to myself, watching these vids. Usually, I am joyful with the music and sights of BC in action after all this time. But sometimes, the tragedy of Stuart's end makes me sad. Right now, I feel like crying a little bit. "Wonderland" was an epiphany for me when I was 13, and it still gives me goosebumps. Nothing like it.
Sigh, what the world has lost. Be at peace, Stuart. xoxox

Thanks for posting. You are an angel.

Absolute magic. However, the best part is during the intro when Stuart delays singing the first verse, for what? To go over and turn DOWN the volume on his amp. What a pro he knew he was drowning out the others. Usually langers in bands can't stop turning their amps up. He had such a feeling for music deep down in his soul.

For me this is high class abnormal outstandingl guitar solo. The best live version of Wonderland for sure and definitely on the same level with all those claptons, gilmours, hendrixs and co. That Stuart and BC didn't have as much commercial success as those guys does not mean his guitar play is lacking skill in comparison. Stuart did achieve the same thing as the small group of world class guitarists. His sound is unique and I would recognize it in an instant.

4 étoiles seulement Stuart pour avoir foiré ton larsen guitare/ampli à 1.15 et ta série de fausses notes entre 5.57 et 6.00.
Non mais...! C'est qui Dieu ?
