the open air gig that Big Country did in Perth was the first gig that my kids ever went to. i can't say often enough that they were in the presence of brilliance.

We will always miss you Stuart.

"Kids, THIS is what a REAL band sounds like..."

Love it :-)

This is my first comment ... ever. Thanks BC1000stars - whoever you are - for this unique and priceless video. I've ground down the vinyl on all my Big Country LPs, but this is my new favourite.

You are very welcome! And welcome to the world of leaving comments :-D thanks, I appreciate it!

You can go to my channel and you'll find out a bit more about my love for Big Country and what they mean to me. Stay Alive!

It's just the radio edit, to keep it 'radio song time friendly' I guess. Pity though, cos the whole song is better, but then again, most original songs are better than radio edits anyway. The way the band intended you to enjoy the song is usually the album version. The way the Radio wants you to hear it is often not something the band has total control over...

@mongo88now88 It's a damned shame that kids these days don't know what real talent is. BC Rocks!

@BC1000stars Thanks so much for sharing this and other BC treasures. I had forgotten how much their music sings to me...it's been bittersweet listening to all this great stuff. Definitely grieves my soul to know Stuart's no longer with us. His words were sheer poetry.

@Diveintome31 good question, I wondered why we saw them in the dressing room before the gig in the "extras" section of the disc.

I cry when I listen to this song for so many reasons. It is brilliant, but I will never hear Stuart sing it. It was telling, yet we couldn't save Stuart. I don't know how I can ever explain this song and my love for BC to my kids. They won;t get it in a Lady Gaga world. It hurts because BC is so much a part of me. I miss Stuart dearly. They don't get it and my not being able to explain it fills me with fear for the future.
