I was a freshman in college when The Crossing came out. I was totally stunned--I never heard anything like that before. I think Steeltown remains my favorite CD of theirs. The two Steve Lilywhite produced albums of theirs is just simply amazing.

I listen to BC every day, for the past 29 years. I can't imagine a world without this music. I hope Mark, Tony and Bruce get it. thank you.

When I was 17 and heard Steeltown on the radio, I was shocked. After The Crossing, I could not imagine greater depth. I was wrong. Girl with Grey Eyes, Just a Shadow. This album changed my life completely in the span of 1 week. I cry for Stuart every day. When he left us I thougtht it was my fault, I should have reached out. He did so much for me and I did nothing for him.

Yeh ... you are right ! I met him too (in Milan after '90 concert): I remember Him talking 20 min to everybody, praying Security and Manager to wait and finally asking everybody (20/25 person) to follow and go have a beer together; friend after 2 minutes !!! Great person !!!

Know it sounds cheesy, but this song really means a lot to me. One of my favorite tunes EVER. Hadn't heard it in a while, and once I booted up this video, I almost started crying at my freaking desk LOL

This song is total power, I'm in my late 20's and I wish BC would have been one of the great bands I grew up with, but here in the States all we got really was In a Big Country, which is a glorious song that I've always loved, but it wasn't until recently that I caught that video on TV and realized I should dig deeper because I don't know of anything else they've done...so grateful for KZfaq.

Met Stuart a few times at the Carnegie centre Gym in Dunfermline in the early 90's. Great guy had time for everyone, didn't have a superstar ego.

Hard to imagine. Well, I wasn't in Berlin, but Steeltown affected me like no other album at age of 16. I was thrust into a world that I had only thought I knew, but I didn't at all. People. The world of people. I knew persons, mostly like me, not 'those of my own kin'. Never thinking of a dream, let alone it was all that was left to hang upon. Steeltown wasn't a wake up. It was a conduit into a way of thinking that I had never heard or read. It was "there was a future of hands of skill"

@modraglina12 жыл бұрын
That's absolutely brilliant. I would never have expected to find footage of this concert on the internet: Big Country 19.06.1988, Berlin-Weißensee, Radrennbahn (G.D.R.) at "Friedenswoche der Berliner Jugend". My brother was there - for us this was like opening a window to rock music influenced by celtic tradition. That's just grand! From that time on this has been my favourite kind of music. Phantastic. When later, in 1991, the steelworkers striked in our town they played Steeltown on Radio4U...

This album Steeltown was brillient, mind you they all were. Stuart you were never recognised for how brillient you really were. I only wish I still had my Concert T-shirt fom the steeltown tour, sleeveless, grey in colour does anyone have one? It was only 21 years ago. "400 hundred miles, of fields of fire"

Von denen die da als Publikum stehen, haben vor dem Konzert noch nicht mal gewusst wer Big Country ist! 😁 Of those who are there as an audience, they didn’t even know who Big Country is before the concert!😁

Stuart was brilliant, all of those guys are. He did a lot of creative guitar work at this concert. My favorite version of this song is on Without the Aid of a Safety Net, far more hard edged than this version.
