Big Country, 'Save Me', Cannon and Ball show, 1990

Big Country playing to the rare, edited version of 'Save Me', April 27th, 1990. As far as I'm aware, apart from the actual promo video, this version has never been released on any other format. Guitar intro edited out as well as another edit between first chorus and second verse.

Pat enjoyed his time with the band - and knows Tony Butler from when they were kids at school - about 14years old when they were in The Simon Townshend Band (Pete Townshend's brother) they were making records back then. - So we've known Tony and Mark B for many years. Previous to Big Country - Pat was with Ultravox, and sessioned for Heaven 17, and many others in the 80's - great days !!

Dear God, this takes me back. This was broadcast on a Saturday night, I deliberately had to sit through the dreadful Cannon and Ball rubbish to see BC. I remember I had lasagne for tea! Isn't it weird how music can put you in a particular place at a particular time.

No Mark Brzezicki on drums....this must have been during that period when he left the band.

Karen...thanx soo much 4 the reply.....what's he doing now?

and sounding soo very stupid here; who's his dad?

Not that it matters in the least.....a very talented drummer in his own right; pleasure to have met him with BC ....and to see him perform with them....and to have him 'recognize' us as above; Stuart was 'advertised' to be at 'splash for starlight'; pat seemed to give his all; no-one was disappointed!

Thanx!

Thank you so much for the nice comments - and yes he is left handed - well done you ! but typical pat, plays a right handed kit !! due to his dad being a very famous drummer, being right handed and his drum kit set out in the music room - pat picked up the sticks at 13 and taught himself - 1 year later recording with Simon Townshend at Pete's studio in Goring !! rock n roll at 14 !! best wishes, karen x

[tyeistops]

Karen...can you thank him for me; esp; 'splash for starlight'...he was totally amazing; he recognized us fans and gave his all [well, soo very nrly!!]...only difference between him and mark...ob. pat left handed; no difference in sound [to me anyway!]

memories!
