Everyone has one, this is mine, to be allowed to go back in time to witness something live, i saw BC quite a few times but never at Barrowlands, i could watch these videos all day every day, and every time think, let me stand plum centre and pogo with the rest of them, get sweaty and walk out knowing you've been part of something fucking special, you don't get bands and moments like this anymore, 'Stay Alive' big man.
This has got to be one of the best songs ever produced and performed live. The band, infront of thousands of their countrymen are extremely tight and on point. some atmosphere.
What I love about Big Country is each band member is having fun on stage while showing they are masters of their craft. This is such a fantastic song with that Celtic vibe to it. Rest in Peace, Stuart. Your gift and Big Country's gift to the world won't be forgotten.
Only band to continuously bring tears to my eyes with their true greatness. It is a shame that more people could did not experience them. Greatest band to ever walk the earth.
Totally agree with Tannersghost and chopperwuls! Im 44 years old and seen a load of bands since I first started going to concerts from the age of 17. I saw Big Country for the first time when they played Newcastle's City Hall on the 20th Sept 1983.. They blew the roof off the place.. Never experienced that before and never will again..
Just simply magic. The beginning of this song gets me every time. I was lucky enough to see BC many times over the years. I bought an Ebow and ripped off every Stuart Adamson riff. RIP SA. They don't make them like you anymore mate.
I was at this gig & it still is one of the best gigs I've ever been to. I remember being covered in glitter for days after & what a way to bring in a New Year!!
I had last watched this in the early '90s, having borrowed the video tape from a friend - It actually broke, due to excessive use! No wonder this still feels so familiar to me :) This is my favourite part of the Barrowlands gig.
@dirtyabe91 - top top quality vids of just about the best band to ever pick up musical instruments; thank you for making the effort to keep the flame alive... :O)
only 8500 views....crying shame. A girl shows her ass-crack she gets 90,000 views....doesn't make sense. Big Country always was the Best of the bands that came out of the eighties and the so called MTV era. Big Country great band to see live, they the people their moneys worth while playing actual instruments.
The best song by the best live band ever, no arguments, absolutely love Big Country forever
Absolutely

I've seen them at different venues, but they always seemed to be better at the barrowlands always a brilliant night
This is class, and Reading 86!
This is hands down one of the best songs ever recorded...absolutely brilliant👍Rest in peace Stuart...

Yep yep yep and Coyp rip Stuart
Tbf they were always better on the east coast especially in Dunfermline
Greatest rock concert ever,in my opinion.Rest in peace my brother Stuart Adamson.
the best 8 minutes of music ever, truly awesome.
olbeyun w I was there
I envy you, was a fan at the time but its only now when you see all the shit passing as music now, that you realize how great they were.
Elvis Has left the building
Well said that man, so true. I wonder if the ‘kids’ will be saying the same in years to come
@@bigtechno Jammy git
A concert of biblical proportions

Edge of U2 wished they could write some of the songs Stuart wrote...great live band. RIP Stuart
Brilliant especially the intro i always played it during the pause of my university lectures
What a talent. R.I.P Stuart. You are loved by many and will never be forgotten. Amazing song!! :)
What a band..... Stuart with the E-bow... god
Without a lie this is what brought me back from the brink rip Stuart and coyfp
Stuart Adamson.... E-Bow.... pure world class
Only band to continuously bring tears to my eyes with their true greatness. It is a shame that more people could did not experience them. Greatest band to ever walk the earth.
The first two minutes of this song is still one of my favorite things in the world- no how has it been 40 years now? That can't be right...
Hairs on the back of yer neck song,luv it RIP Stuart
Man you Cannot stop Tony or Mark , COOL!!

as musicians, these guys stood head and shoulders above their contemporaries...an incredible sound for four wee lads
boy i wish i was born earlier to see big country live with stu always such great atmosphere when they play live
only Stuart could play the E-bow like this.....genius
Nothing comes close to the greatness of this
i will always love them even when i will be a grandpa
Still watching this in 2021, realised how much Stuart was missed. Truly love this song.
One of the few bands who are their best playing live.
Sensational gig.
R.I.P. Big Man......never to be forgotten
A death I can still hardly bear, even after all these years 💔 thank god we've still got his music 💙💙💙

One of the best bands ever. Incredible live performance.
I was at this concert with my sister, I was around 14 years old 🏴🙌❤️
Saw them in 1983 Hammersmith. Unforgettable....
Fuck me what an intro so underrated easy up there as best tightest bands in the world surely
True That!!
Jaysus that bass!
Magnificent Big Country at their best in front of their home crowd - The energy is off the scale.
what a band always loved them lucky to have so much good live footage on you tube
Every time I watch this video, I find Stuart's e-bow work mid song very haunting
Just love this song. Saw them live in Ireland in 1986 but wish I had been at this gig in the Barrowlands. Epic. RIP Stuart
All I can say is .....dammmmmmn. freekin beautiful.
Saw them 3 times in London back in the day...Porrohman always my favourite from them. Amazing....
Seen them on Brighton 1986 during the Seer tour. Immense. Cheers dirtyabe91 for these videos. Greatest band ever.
Oh my god. That guitar
Best BC song of all time, bagpipe/guitar. Proper Scottish. I'm English but my 3 grandaughters
are Scottish
fantastic song. great band. i still love them :)
Absolutely sublime. Still spine-chillingly thrilling after all these years. Bless you Stuart x
one of the best string arrangements i ever heard, and there's no place like the barras to hear it!
This is art!! Each member a craftsman.
I had last watched this in the early '90s, having borrowed the video tape from a friend - It actually broke, due to excessive use! No wonder this still feels so familiar to me :) This is my favourite part of the Barrowlands gig.

THE greatest live performance in history!

Fabulous band..... The sound of the 80s, along with U2 and Simple Minds., proper stadium bands.
Had tickets to see them in Sydney in 1983 but Stuart got sick and they cancelled. And the never did play in Australia.

2 thumbs down ??? 2 sad souls who apparently are tone-deaf.
Likely fans of rap, most likely Kanye West or some similar "genius".

Awesome

Stewart Adamson was the real deal...
STILL fucking brilliant.

That intro

EPIC
Rip Stuart Coyp
💖💖💖
the company tried to package them as some pop act, but they were way too talented for that label.
Best band before political correctness .
