R.I,P Stuart from an English person. You had so much drive and created yourself to excellent in your singing and guitar playing.

Such a shame we lost Stuart but I see Tony Butler the bass player is still playing so the spirit goes on.

That bass player is absolutely killing it!!!!!!

Not a single phone. Everyone living in the moment.

My wife was there up on the balcony. She said they were one of the best bands to appear on The Tube

Wish Stuart was alive today his voice is something else 😢

My friend Scott and I would jump around and sing like fools to Big Country. Lost Scott to cancer 6 years ago and still think of him when I hear this song. RIP Scottie. Love and miss you brother

This is next level bass playing.

I just love this. People on stage enjoying themselves. No dramas. No egos. Just better times. The 80s Big Country were superb

bet those two lads bopping away on stage now in their 50s will cherish that moment..

Wow. 80s and 90s was peak humanity. What a bloody good song.

RIP Stuart Adamson. This band deserved much more recognition - I feel alive when I listen to this,

The bass is fire!!!!!this is a classic!

It’s 2022 and I’m still rockin out to this! Thanks Stuart, your talent lives on.

Its 2023 and I indeed would pay $$$ to have been at this concert. I am 65yo

I want to go back to the 80s’ so badly. It was the best time to be alive.

Proud to say I live in the boy’s hometown of Dunfermline in Scotland and these guys are absolute legends in the town. Hello from Dunfermline Scotland.

My dad bought me my first car (a used 77 Toyota celica, a bit beat up) in 1984 and when I picked it up and drove it home, I turned on the radio. This song was playing. I felt like I was in heaven, I felt free. It was the 1980s and I was in high school with my whole life in front of me. I was driving a car. It was a Houston summer. The traffic was jumpin. I'll NEVER forget the ENERGY this song gave me that night!!!!!!!!!!

Drums and bass are solid AF.

Not sure whether to laugh, cry, smile or get up and dance. Probably all of the above. I miss my youth. RIP Stuart.

The bass player’s riffs are insanely good.

2024 ... who else is still suprisingly alive...

Scotland is a big country, a big country of music, for sure ! The proof !!

Never knew their bassist was that freakin' good! He's all over those funky bass lines like it's a breeze. Glad i caught this version

If Stuart knew One Tenth of the Joy that he brought, he would never have left, God Bless you Stu.

Look at the audience... just jamming to the music and living in the moment without anyone holding up a cell phone! The 80s were truly a special time!

TOTALLY TIMELESS, RIP STUART ADAMSON.

lets go back to the 80's. I have the time machine..... who is with me?

Rest in eternal peace Mr Adamson , thank you for music and memories . A 52 Yr old Englishman

This song will always remind me of all the hopes and dreams I had as a young man. Thank you, Stewart Adamson!!!

This was recorded 5 days before I was born. Still own the album on vinyl. Easily in my top 10 favorite songs.

That bassist has to be cracking the foundation of that venue with his Fender Precision sound. So amazing!

Still sounds awesome nearly 40 years later!!

It makes me sad that Stuart had so much joy performing on stage but couldn't find that same joy in his personal life. This song always makes my heart ache, but in a good way.

Rip - Stuart - a Big Heart in your Country - Never Forgotten

No playback. no auto tune. Just talent.

Who can not stop listening to this beautiful hymn 34 years later?

Scotland can be proud of how many great groups they produced in the 1980’s, never mind a Big Country, they are a small Country but brought us lots of brilliant music during the best decade ever!

Stuart Adamson: Such a wonderful talent. A brilliant songwriter. An amazing guitarist with a style very much all of his own. So missed.

Impossible to watch this without singing along. RIP Stuart 💙

I remember watching this on the Tube at the time. Loved Big Country at that stage. The two lads dancing is class.

Still a great song in 2023 and I like how they could get bagpipe sounds into the music.

Everyone of us who were seniors that year absolutely knew that this was the best that life would ever be and it would never be this good again..and we were right.

Music like this makes the world a better place to live! ROCK ON!!!

The drummer plays some amazing fills throughout this song!😮

My Dad worked for a chauffeuring company and drove these guys around London for a week or so in the early 80's. He said what a great bunch they were, funny and friendly. I loved them.

Such a joy to see these guys so young and full of life. What times those were!

The Edge said at Stuart's funeral 'He wrote the kind of songs that U2 wish we had written'.

Please give me my 80s back. Best time of my life.

I was so in-awe of Stuart Adamson. I didn't know his name at the time, nor that he died in 2001. I'm grateful for the many great artists in my lifetime.

The rhythm section is so tight on this tune! That little skip-gallop they do at the end of each bar turns this Scottish folk tune into HEAVY METAL!!! 🤘

The bass on this tune is sublime...epic tune from an epic decade..God bless Scotland - Signed, A Texan 🤠🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This always makes me feel so melancholy, the melody and seeing Stuart playing, I was a teenager and the sound always inspired my ,that huge guitar that sounds like bagpipes through the mountains. Playing music now I try to get that huge atmosphere in the sounds , Stuart you are missed

All the talk about Duran Duran, culture club, Spandau, people forget how much impact bands like BC had, real music played by real musicians and written by real talent ❤❤❤

The energy they possess is incredible

Truly one of the greatest songs of all time. RIP Stuart

The band that should have been every bit as huge as U2. We miss you still, Stuart.

What a great band - I've never heard this live version, and it just SHREDS

What a performance!

Not only did 80's bands have talent and skill, they inherently had charisma and stage presence. Brilliant performance.

I am only 17 but I wish I could go back to the 60s - 80s 😭😭

You're gone, Stu, but I and your many other fans cannot forget you (not that we'd ever want to). Stuart Adamson is on a very special list of musicians who not only pleased my ears but touched my heart, too. Thanks to KZfaq and other avenues, we can time-travel and see you alive, well and playing the songs (BC and Skids) that we remain in love with.

Every time i listen to this song it's just like the first time. Amazing voice and energy. Tony must be one of the most underrated bass players ever. The noise he gets from the bass is unparalleled 👌 RIP Stuart, your legend lives on 🙏

Hands down one of greatest songs of the 80’s! Pure musicianship!

The lads dancing on stage made this even more awesome 😀

His voice is amazing

You know it's the 80's with that amount of sweat on bands performing.

I had no idea these guys were so young when they performed this incredible song. They have absolutely no business writing lyrics that full of emotion

I wish I was there!!!!!!!!!

Still as awesome as the day it was released, my second year at senior/high school!! Great bass player too, Tony Butler if I remember rightly? God bless you Stuart, I hope your troubles have now passed, rest in peace, you are sadly missed!! 🙏

Allways considered my self a man's man.I fell in love with this band in the 80's and followed them.When Adamson died i'll admit i cried like a baby.What a loss.R.I.P.

My great grandma was from Scotland I love a big country❤

Remember folks, theres no bagpipe player. This is how good this band was.

I was there! RIP Stuart. I loved the Skids and this just took it to another level, pure class... Guitars that sound like bag-pipes!

I saw the band twice and both times met the guys .... they were so friendly and chatted with a bunch of us for a while. Great music, great guys much missed.

They never get there i love it this 1st song my big brother only sibling shared with me to teach each other private favorites to listen to more viewers to being to enjoy one another true fact that you

They just had to jump, because the energy and power of the song is amazing.

The beautiful sound of bagpipes from a guitar. How awesome is that?

So proud to have seen them in concert in 1986❤️❤️💞💕❤️❤️🌠🌠🌹🌹🌠🌠🌠

Their drummer is soooo underrated. Bassist too. Hell the whole band.

Quite possibly one the 1980's most underrated bands

3 main takeaways: - this song is a special kind of beautiful that tears me up - headphone technology has come so far (1:01) - when they start rocking together at 1:08 gives me chills every time and the thrusting in unison is immortal

I love how a couple of guys get on the stage to dance, then another fan actually kisses Stuart and nobody cares. A great band, they really really were. Wonderful song. Also, the bass player is incredible, and they make guitars sound like bagpipes

One of the killer top songs of the 80s, I loved that decade and I feel sorry for the ones that didn’t have that opportunity to experience that era

11 April 2020: happy birthday Stuart Adamson. You're deeply missed - your name will never die, your songs will be forever.

Had the pleasure to have shared the stage with the guys when a group of fans joined them in the Waterfront Belfast.

This song brings me back to my childhood and listening to my dad sing to it while he was driving. If only I could go back in time.

It's hard to believe that this was 34 years ago today! Such a great song by a brilliant band - may their legacy live on! (Rest In Peace Stuart)

I just love Tony Butler's crunchy bass on that song........ takes me right back. RIP Stuart

It's amazing how he cuould made the guitar sound like a powerful bagpipe..beautiful..

Me too . I born there. He lived in cross gates n I loved them too. Just a mile away xxx

When television was awesome.

That Bass sound's badass

Hello from Falkirk Scotland…This is how to kick ass

Love the dancers on the stage 🤸

Always makes me cry. Everytime. Powerful emotions are released as soon as I hear this great elegiac song. No idea why. Just happens.

Stuart Adamson will live forever in his brilliant songs! He was a true innovator and such a sweet person. The whole band is just rockin it up there! What a show!

I would have loved seeing this band in their prime, just never got close enough to Nebraska. They rocked so hard and tight and; don’t see that much in younger bands today

I love you big country and sturt Adamson and big country they are the best band ever

Never heard of these guys before and this was first song I heard. I like the song on the album, but this live version is fantastic. That's the hallmark of a great band-the ones with live recordings just as good if not better than their studio releases.
