Gotta say props to mike peters he did this song justice -it kinda bugs when fans dog on him but he joined the band as a fan and loved big country for the same reasons any fan does. Of course it's hard to appreciate bc in the same way as the glory days but this is a really good performance and has to get credit where credit is due. Of course bruce Watson is probably the only other human on tho planet who can play that incredible riff and with his son on back up and tony and mark on rythymn this is the best you can hope for - would have loved to been at this gig no doubt about it !
Didn't you read Tony Butler's book ? Mike was a totally divisive and 2 faced person who split the band into factions and turned them against Ian Grant.
I love Mike Peters and The Alarm's music so was delighted when he joined Big Country but I think they've got a great vocalist now in Simon Hough, he's sounds quite like Stuart.
I didn’t see them at this time but saw them on The Journey Tour. I think Mike Peters was doing a great job and the band was evolving into something interesting. There is a real energy to these earlier shows with MP and of course it was great to have Tony Butler there. I just can’t get on with Simon Hough. Voice is fine, but his stage act (!) just doesn’t do it for me, and they seem content to just do anniversary tours now, which doesn’t appeal to me.

Totally agree with you about Mike Peters - BC would never have got back on stage again without his important contribution.

Hat off to him and the boys , but for me just nae the same without Mr Adamson. He was such an underrated talent. RIP Stewart 👍
Must admit love this version . Mr. Watsons playing is superb
Bruce Watson best guitarist Scotland has produced check out scattering crows album by fish(ex marillion) you shall hear what I mean 😂
I am glad that the rest of BC carry on after his passing, hope to see them live soon. (Though not the same without Stuart)
Ace version of one of my favourite songs, thanks a million
One of my favorite song from BC :o)
The clown and the wolf man would approve. Even without Stuart.
COOL, DONT FORGET THIS TIME, MIKE PETERS SUPER🎸😎🍺🇩🇪👍
Fabulous, Mike isn't Stuart but this is a great version.
After going to 2 concerts and The Journey album i quite liked Mike Peters as a front man shame he left for reasons we shall never know :-(

Pretty good - but sadly lacking one important part.............Stuart Adamson, just not the same without you. Glad I got to see you RIP
Should have left it there.Love BC.
Agree I liked this setup, seen them with Simon at stainsby festival and my heart sunk
Quality.
Miss MP fronting BC , the new incarnation of Big Country seem ( to me) slowed down the songs but good luck to them I say .
fantastic
What gig is this ? Sounds great

Thanks !
MLP is so much better than the latest vocalist
Stuart irreplaceable but great entertainment 👌
I really like Simon on vocals but he's not a frontman! Where Mike is!
