And to think this man was omitted from Rolling Stone Magazines top 100 guitarists list... he was one of the very best. Brilliant X

For those who didn’t know - Big Country got this crowd reaction by beginning their set with a song that was not a No. 1 hit, not a top 10 hit, but a B-Side. Brilliant band.

Totally fucking epic. Stuart was a genius, not nearly enough recognition for his amazing contribution to music. Just awesome.

Visited Stuarts memorial bench last week in pittencrieff park very moving for me thankyou for all the happy times stuart and the lads ..

Big Country cost me a hundred quid! I was bouncing so much in the Barrowland that my sweat destroyed the notes in my pooch! I was very lucky to get to work with them years later. And more recently with Mark with Big Minds. I know that Mark isn't playing on this vid.

This a real concert everyone never stops at all dance songs jumping that mosh pit yeah hella yeah great stuff witness this awesomeness

The first time I saw Big Country was around a week or two before this show, at The International in Manchester. They opened with Restless Natives that night. I have before and since been to probably 300 concerts, including approx 20 BC gigs. I have seen Springsteen, U2, everyone... Nothing has even come close to the first 2 minutes of that night in Manchester. They were perfect, the sound was stunning, and the energy will never ever leave me.

That audience is going off!!!!

'I hold up buses!'.........

Stuart died 16 years ago, his songs are immortal.

What a song. What a performance. I suffer with depression and this one of the best medicines. Jumping around the room to this and remembering the brilliance of Big Country always makes me feel better. Such a shame that Stuart couldn't find his own way to get through life. Thanks for everything, big man.

Brings a tear to my eye even after all these years, one of the greatest live bands.

Likely the greatest song ever written.

The movie was fuckin epic , great music , great scenery , great story ! They should have made a follow up !

This man carried so much talent, so effortlessly. Awesome on the guitar and excellent voice and accent.

RIP stuart - one of the best live bands of all time. Very underrated. great film restless natives

Quality, I could have been there, life regrets.

Fuck me that boy could perfom.....

Absolute banger of a song

Lucky enough to see Big Country live. One of the best live bands ever

Still loving it 2021....big country made timeless music....rip stuart

I was there, amazing night!

I love watching this. Stuart's face at around 2.10, thinking "God, we sound great.." Well, Stuart, you did. The very best there ever was. Every instrument sounds perfect. My very first concert was Big Country at the International, and they opened with this. My feet hardly touched the floor all night, and I was hooked, forever.

Bouncing rhythm guitar, power drums, heavy bass perfecting the build for Stuart's incredible hook. I'm 28 and never had the pleasure of seeing the original BC live. They have the crowd in the palm of their hand. True rock and roll. 'Stay Alive'

Only just discovered Big Country, always knew about them but never gave them a chance. I only heard this song today, oh my word what a tune. Modern music hold your head in shame. RIP Stuart

Fk awesome as usual, saw them live glasgow apolo Xmas 1984 what a Christmas that was RIP Stuart

Never again will anybody come close to this amazing talent .Thankyou Big country for these timeless classics.

The 23 people who disliked this performance clearly don’t know what great music is.

from the skids to big country to the raphaels,he was an absolute legend

another day in a world with no stewart adamson, how does it revolve without his guitar playing to make our hearts soar, it reminds me to breath in my land i shared with him so briefly,. one of the first things i did when my children were born was to introduce them to big country & runrig, a rock sound conceived in Scotland, as striking as a battle cry that breaks your heart but drives you on, anyone wishing to undeerstand us Scots other than the risky asking them if they are english? our big country comes out in us so look away if you as squimish. the music of big country could lead us intto battle with runrig's 'dance called america' or 'skye' leading our charge to death or glory, i wish stewart had chosen the glory, he would be worshipped & never knew i.

Don't forget this was used in the FANTASTIC movie, ' Restless Natives ' 😊

A tear in my eye.

this track gave me goosebumps when I first heard it in 1985, and I still get them now.

I was in that 'mosh-pit'. Incredible show!!

Stunning rendition of this song,and the boys know it.Two Fifers and two Londoners all living in their home towns.God knows how they made it work,but they did and then some.Whst a band.

Big Country-you cosume my Soul! Thye rifts, lyrics, style and melody are tha of a genius. Stuart,,play in Heaven and Eiledon Scotand, and the World are yours. That Axe -byouown it Kristi Potochnik USA With Love Forever. My Heart Sings!

i am a restless native, and this calms my nerves!! scottish highlands produced some of the best talent out there!!! like come on , all you need some good mushrooms and listen to in a big country , dive into me , fields of fire and this song of course!! best music of all time!! i wish in some parallel universe he never died!!!

Big Country, still one of my favorite bands. Greetings from Holland.

Wonderful version! Indeed, that long intro belongs to it. Last week I bought the DVD from the movie Restless Natives. The film music and the images of Scotland gave me goose bumps. The film was not subtitled in Dutch, so it was sometimes quite difficult for me to understand the Scottish … I was already a fan of Big Country in 1984 and have seen them live three times in the Netherlands; the last time in April 2000 in Hardenberg. During concerts I always stood for the stage. Because the music of Big Country was exciting. The musicians always made contact with the audience, improvised their music and clearly enjoyed it. And I loved that. I already had several CDs from Big Country. But in the last few months, I have reinvented Big Country. On the internet I found all kinds of information: music, articles in newspapers and magazines, and so on. There's a lott to be found.

i was lucky enough to see Big Country on numerous occasions and every time they were superb. Stuart was and is my all time fav guitarist.

The drunker I get, the better I walk. Thanx BC, you are the BEST!

Wish they had done a soundtrack to Restless Natives on one album, classic song classic band.

still makes my heart fucking thump . Fife rules 😂😂😂 proud

The BEST FEEL GOOD tune ever.....simply brilliant!! Stuart at his amazing best.........lost but NEVER FORGOTTEN!! STAY ALIVE!!

Damn. Stuart could make a guitar sing. He had an amazing emotive voice. Sad sad day when he left this world.

By far the best start to a concert i have witnessed. The crowd were up for it long before the band came onstage. the sound of Bruce's guitar was just the right volume to hear every note. and when Tony played those first bass notes, it made my internal organs vibrate inside my ribcage. i get goose bumps even now

big country took me from rap to rock

Saw them at Wembley as a support for one of the last “Jam” concerts. Jesus Christ! What a lifelong love that turned out to be... even without “Restless Natives” ..!

once more , the clown and the wolfman ... rest in peace stuart . ... making a gutar sound like bagpipes .... fucking geniious and missed .

I always, come back here. Always. BC fans understand the attraction. You can't avoid or deny it. It has to be watched regularly! Stay alive! RIP Big Man

One of my favourite films, backed by this absolutely amazing band. Goose bumps every time i hear this riff.

this is my favourite big country song.

SHOULD BE SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL ANTHEM.

relentless natives

Best intro ever by anyone.

RIP STUART YOU LEFT OUR WORLD TO SOON. THE PAIN AND SUFFERING YOU EXPERIENCED IN YOUR FINAL DAYS MUST HAVE BEEN INTOLERABLE. YOU HAVE LEFT A LEGACY OF A TRUE TALENTED ICONIC SINGER THAT TRANSCENDS GENERATIONS. THANK YOU.

Truly one of the best bands full stop.EVER.The live gigs were a joyous life affirming moment in time.Thank You.Stuart.Mark.Tony.Bruce.take a bow.Miss you Stuart.

I was there, another amazing night with one of the best live bands of a generation. Says it all about talent when a band sound BETTER live than in the studio. Are there many other bands who touched so many lives like BC did ?

I was there in that mosh pit...unforgettable evening.

Goosebumps every time! thank you STUART

Quite simply the best live band ever !! Rip stuart

240 years We lived without hope and without pride So who will know where they come from? Who raised a torch for those who died? I will be with them In the summer sun and the winter snow They will come and clouds will go And show that we are proud again Powerful lyrics from Stu - was always a Yes man. Alba gu Brath!

Heart breaking still

One of the few bands I regret not seeing live. BC were an incredible band RIP Stuart.

is it just me?? This is the definition of Scotland, Brave, bold, musical, passionate, and Stuart...I have incredible passion towards this eternal contribution.

Superb! Brilliant film too. The music goes hand in hand with Scotland's gorgeous scenery. Stuart you genius! ❤

Goose bumps every time.....

Love big country ur music will live on rip Stuart 🙏 gone too soon

We lost an amazing talent when we lost Stuart, arguably one of the best musical talents of his generation. Rock in peace.

The boy's on fire pure class!!!!

I’m right down the front! Happy birthday Stuart x

Love this, saw them in 1982 I think wembley arena such a great sound and those guitars sing to us all RIP stuart

Wonderful performance. They were fucking amazing. 😎🎸🥁

it BRINGS BACK , MAGIC /NIGHTS/ MEMORIES of love / happiness and sharring good things !

love how the track slowly builds, layer upon layer and then bang here we go. Great track, great band, timeless classic

I was in that mosh pit...great show..great venue..

Great song.. Great film

Classic rendition....power, passion and precision!!! If the hairs on the back of yer neck didnt stand to attention whilst watching that then you're not human!!!

The most underrated Scottish songwriter ever..still sadly missed..the man made me even prouder of my heritage..superb!!..

just awesome

This song is still SICK! What an incredibly underrated band.

Absolutely magnificent! The film was magnificent too!

" I know you " " no, you don't " ..............' " I hold up buses " 😚

By all that is natural and uncorrupted, here is the bond between the soul of humanity and the universe.

blows my mind how Stuart makes the guitar sounds like bagpipes. The most underrated band ever

Lucky enough to be at The Forum (or was it still the T&C) that hot summer night all those years ago. One of BCs best live songs without any doubt and a brilliant track to open a gig with... Sing up "I will be with them..."

one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands from one of my favourite films. What's not to like!? A classic!

A fantastic song from one of my favourite films ever. It's when I hear this my Scottish blood (about 25% of my heritage) flows like fire.

Truly, only Stuart and James Marshall always make my hairs stand on end.

There is one legend that says that heroes arn’t dead at all, just sleeping underneath the hills and one day will come back. Like ghosts? Something like that.

Stuart at his finest. Brilliant❤

Yes...RIP young Stuart....amazing band...one of the best..love them...keeps me going...STAY ALIVE..✌THANKS BIG COUNTRY

Love this

Absolutely Epic !!!

Wow,Stuart at his best. RIP

The sound of Scotland at her best..

This song reaches right into my very soul, and pulls, pulls, pulls,

I was at this gig. Well worth the journey from the north east

The Sadness of Past Time...

Adamson was the most underrated guitarist and the band was also. B.C. were great---nearly every song had with a soul stirring anthemic structure, lyrics filled with love and hope, and an incredible drummer. The best live concert I EVER attended . . . and I've been to most big names. Guadalcanal Diary opened for them . . . how's that for perfect?
