The best song by the best live band ever, no arguments, absolutely love Big Country forever

This is hands down one of the best songs ever recorded...absolutely brilliant👍Rest in peace Stuart...

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.

Edge of U2 wished they could write some of the songs Stuart wrote...great live band. RIP Stuart

Greatest rock concert ever,in my opinion.Rest in peace my brother Stuart Adamson.

What a band..... Stuart with the E-bow... god

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.

Brilliant especially the intro i always played it during the pause of my university lectures

A concert of biblical proportions

Stuart Adamson.... E-Bow.... pure world class

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...

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..

the best 8 minutes of music ever, truly awesome.

What a talent. R.I.P Stuart. You are loved by many and will never be forgotten. Amazing song!! :)

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.

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.

A death I can still hardly bear, even after all these years 💔 thank god we've still got his music 💙💙💙

only Stuart could play the E-bow like this.....genius

as musicians, these guys stood head and shoulders above their contemporaries...an incredible sound for four wee lads

Hairs on the back of yer neck song,luv it RIP Stuart

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!!

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

Without a lie this is what brought me back from the brink rip Stuart and coyfp

boy i wish i was born earlier to see big country live with stu always such great atmosphere when they play live

Many moons have passed you still a god .we all die sometime thanks for the Very best times

I was at this concert with my sister, I was around 14 years old 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙌❤️

what a band always loved them lucky to have so much good live footage on you tube

one of many highlights from what is surely one of THE great concerts. RIP Stuart.

Man you Cannot stop Tony or Mark , COOL!!

One of the best bands ever. Incredible live performance.

Still watching this in 2021, realised how much Stuart was missed. Truly love this song.

Nothing comes close to the greatness of this

One of the few bands who are their best playing live. Sensational gig. R.I.P. Big Man......never to be forgotten

Fuck me what an intro so underrated easy up there as best tightest bands in the world surely

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!

I saw the lads at st Georges Hall Bradford so bright so brilliant ‘stay alive ‘ RIP Stu x

fantastic song. great band. i still love them :)

greatest band ever in my eyes!!! always have to listen to them and this song. love the crossing!! rip stuart....

i will always love them even when i will be a grandpa

Had tickets to see them in Sydney in 1983 but Stuart got sick and they cancelled. And the never did play in Australia.

Saw them in 1983 Hammersmith. Unforgettable....

All I can say is .....dammmmmmn. freekin beautiful.

Oh my god. That guitar Best BC song of all time, bagpipe/guitar. Proper Scottish. I'm English but my 3 grandaughters are Scottish

This is art!! Each member a craftsman.

Jaysus that bass!

RIP Stuart...always the best live!!! Wolverhampton Civic Hall xmas 1999...what a night!!

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.

DAMN! They really wanted to drive that intro riff home! Bar after bar after bar after bar.....

Incredible is all that can be said

Love this Stuart rip

Seen them on Brighton 1986 during the Seer tour. Immense. Cheers dirtyabe91 for these videos. Greatest band ever.

‘Absolves us of all worry, when our fate is in the hands of a demon or a god!’

Stewart Adamson was the real deal...

Me favorite band of all time. #U2WHO? BIG COUNTRY 4 EVER 🙌🏾🙌🏼🙌🏾🙌🏼🙌🏾🙌🏼💞💝💞💝💞💝🥰🤗😎😎

This is nectar

STILL fucking brilliant.

fantastic

Awesome

How fucking good is this hairs on neck stuff this is how you do live nothing out there today even comes close

joyous.

i piu' grandi in assoluto purtroppo come dicevano gli antichi ars longa vita brevis

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.

EPIC

2:37, oops where did i leave my ebow

Rip Stuart Coyp

💖💖💖

was it the first band to use Ebow????

the company tried to package them as some pop act, but they were way too talented for that label.
