      Brilliant live band. Seen them without Stuart and Bruce, really good too but different.

    Big Country el mejor grupo Escoces de rock de la decada de los 80.

    Amazing clip! Not only Big Country but one of my other fav tunes Fields of Fire !!! The flannel, the pegged pants, the hair, the colors, everything in this video is a dream of 1983....oh, not to mention the drumming, the bag pipe guitars (how'd they do that??!) Stuart's strong voice declaring war on pessimism...yep 1983 that was the year!

    "Inwards", which Bruce gives a wee nod too, at the end of a In A Big Country", will always be my favorite cut off The Crossing and their Live Shows. Always loved those Yamaha Guitars! Stuart, Bruce, Tony and Mark made such Wonderful Music. Stuart is Sorely Missed. 🙏🏻

    Great stuff ! Even if it does not sound as polished as the studio recording I still love it for the sheer energy and rawness. I'm guessing Stuart's voice was a bit overworked because of the way he sang "winter-tiii-iii-me" !
