Sons of men who stand like gods, we give life to feed the cause and run to ground our heathen foe.....Our name will never die..This time will be forever.

was lucky enough too see them play live twice. cant praise them highly enough, ffs somebody build a time machine so i can go back and save stuart and sort him out. talented man u touched my heart.

GOD, I miss this band. The most criminally underrated band in my lifetime. More hooks than you'll ever find in a tackle box. RIP, Stuart. We miss you.

I will always love this band. No one ever did Celtic Rock better, and with such thoughtful lyrics to boot. They were incredible live, and we all danced and screamed wildly. Glory days.

I always wondered what the song was about, it ties in to Come Back To Me, that is a great touch. RIP Stuart

BETTER THAN ANY BAND OF THIS ERA-EVEN U2-THIS IS GREAT GREAT GREAT-EVERYONE ONE IN THIS BAND IS GREAT.

The best song against the war. Masterpiece.

This song still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it - still relevant today as it was when it was recorded - RIP Stuart

Stuart lives on through his music🎶 🎵 ⏹ 🪕 🎼 💿 🎶 🎸 the voice,guitar,still sounds great👍

I will have "The Crossing" and "Steeltown" paying in my funeral, full blast!!!! Thank you for the memories.

What a song, what a band. Listen to that rhythm section. God bless you Stuart. Saw this band over 30 times - MAGIC

those bass lines just kill me..these guys could really play. I remember turning some young kids on to this band in my car 15 years ago and they were like "Holy crap, who is this?"

For Me The Best Big Country Song Absolute Masterpiece From The Perfect Album "SteelTown" Fantastic Amazing Irradientable

It breaks my heart every time... again and again - I can´t believe he´s lost forever... We have to be glad for that what he has left us. Thank you, Stu. See you when I get there...

one of the greatest drum tracks ever!!!

I bought the whole cd just for this superb song! The guitars give me goose bumps. RIP.

this was one of the few times in my life when i heard a song for the first time i fell in love with it immediately. this song makes me want to cry laugh dance at the same time. all musicians should aim to try to rock like big country at least for one song in their lifetime. very inspiring beautiful music that kicks ass at the same time

All Big Country's songs are amazing.One of the best rock bands ever.

I loved and still love U2, but Big Country was always my favorite. When I bought my first two cassette tapes were Big Country, "The Crossing," and Def Leppard, "Pyromania." I played that Big Country tape until it was completly worn out! I miss those days in the fog of Washington State.

The music of Big Country reaches deep into my heart and soul. It has defined who I am and is part of my DNA.

one of the finest rock anthems ever !!!

The voice, the lyrics, the guitars like bagpipes . . . They turn a song into an anthem like nobody else. I'm just glad that KZfaq exists to host performances like this, so we can watch them over & over (as the memory from the 80s is a little hazy of when these vids first played). I miss this guy at least as much as I do John Lennon, and more than the rest of the great musicians who went too young. Stuart, rest in peace, if you can. We are grateful for the songs you left us.

Probably in my top 5 all time favourite songs, a massively underated band, which to my mind makes them even greater after the passing years, the death of Stuart Adamson was and is a massive loss, Big Country to me still sounds fresh and sounds even better than it did 20 odd years ago

BIG COUNTRY...What an amazing band. 'OUR NAME WILL NEVER DIE, THIS TIME WILL BE FOREVER'. Such an hymn of a song 🎸

after all these years i never get tired of hearing these classic bc tracks. amazing band.

Every time I see Stuart trying not to crack up in the beginning it makes me smile. Can't help it. Needed to see that. God bless 'em!

Something special about this band - they meant such alot to me in my youth - Peace in our Time, Thirteen Valleys, Thousand Yard Stare, Fields of Fire, The Flame of the Weest...I really connected with everything they did. Thx for posting.

Big Country amazing strong band in the 80s and beginning of the 90s ! They have made some of the best classics around. Ashame they get so little airplay here in The Netherlands. Greatly under-estimated. But the sadest part is the death in 2001 of their frontman. Still cant believe it. This is to me their most powerfull song.

One of the greatest bands ever!!!!

Best live band really went for it on stage, Stuart was a genius and is greatly missed

"If I die in the combat zone - box me up and send me home If I die and still get home - lay me were the rose is sown" ...a powerfull lyric from this brilliant group - RIP Stuart!!

Absolute Masterpiece From The Supreme Big Country Album STEELTOWN

Totally, he does an incredible job on the cover of Prairie Rose too.

This should be the National Anthem of all Christian nations.🙏🇺🇸🇬🇧

That is freaky! I was just watching this vid and was thinking "God, I remember drawing the Big Country emblem on all my school books" (with "The Seer" album's eagle - remember that?). I also had U2 and Simple Minds scrawled everywhere! Happy Days! Saw Big Country at Lincoln ABC cinema in 1985 my first gig at 15 years old.

Reminds me of drawing the Big Country logo on my excercise boo... loved 'em in the day.... good to reminisce. Mind you, Brzezicki loks a bit like George Dawes in this! RIP Stuart... I even bought some shirt sleeve clips cos of you!!

I have seen them several times and they were and will always be the best live band: forever!

My Personal Opinion The Supreme Big Country Song Fantastic Amazing Awesome BIG COUNTRY IN EVERY TIME

probably my fav band when i was growing up and this is probably my fav by them, fkin love it, god bless u stuart, rest in peace mucker. x

You took the words right out of my mouth..There will never be music like BC! They always put on a good show..RIP Stuart....

they never fail to stir a welcome bout of youthful reminiscing....thanks for all you did when you were with us Stu.

sometimes we get a glimpse of heaven!! gotta appreciate it when we've got it!! bless big countrty

was my very fist album, would play cassette in room singing like band member RIP stu you are a guitar legend

Our name will never die, this time will be FOREVER. RIP Stuart sleep well

For my money, one of the top 5 bands of all time. Getting those guitars screeching like bagpipes over Stuart Adamson's blue-collar, struggle-of-everyman lyrics raises goosebumps every damn time. People are lamenting Michael Jackson's loss right now, and fair enough, but when Stuart took himself from us in '01 the world lost a truly underrated artist-musician-poet who can never be replaced and should never be forgotten. Thank God we have the magnificent songs. Like this one here.

THE SUPREME PERFECT BIG COUNTRY ALBUM THE SUPREME BIG COUNTRY SONG THE ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

"lay me where the rose is sown"... you should deserve the world.

My favourite video of the song - RIP Stuart.

Happy days, Loved this band......could and should of gone on to much bigger things, R.I.P. Stuart

One of the best songs. Steeltown album is a must listen to.

My friend got me into BC in 82 and it rocked my world. I loved the Pipes and to hear that massive sound in a new form... but it was the rich lyrics in Scots History-LIVE LONG!

He developed this sound that to me sound like electric bagpipes. A great guy, met him several times, lovely fella. A treasure! Enjoy

I love 80s Music, Many great singers have died over the years, but when I heard Stuart Adamson was dead I was gutted, Big Country are the best band ever, they have a truly unique sound, Stuart could really belt out a tune.

In my early teens I played and played this record... I still have it and play it sometimes, bit scratchy now. Brings back more memories for me than almost any other song.

Oh the memories, just take me back to a better time, I had loads of fun back then. great music, great band......

what a magnificent songwriter he was.

The Supreme Big Country Song The Supreme Perfection

Boy, those were the days! It rocks! ;-)

Probably in top 5 all time favourite songs! Massively underated and sounding even better today than 20 odd years ago. RIP Stuart

One of my favorite song and band, never a one hit wonder

What a brilliant and powerful song even in 2007!, I've got the limited edition 7inch of this signed by Stuart, Bruce and Mark when I met them outside the Edinburgh Playhouse with my mate Derek way back in 1990...they were really nice dudes by the way.

I always enjoyed this band!! I listened to them to my journeys across europe and beautiful Cornwall, England...Brings back many, many memories!!! Thanks Stuart for all the wonderful music....that will carry on for you!!!

Yup went and watched restless natives and was awestruck at the final scenes of the bike hurtlin up salisbury crags in Edinburgh .. Man made me reminise God bless big country and Stuart Adamson from a time when Bands meant every thing , Go download the best of big country from Itunes and remember the great times....

Does it it get any better than this? I dont think so. Keep the BIG COUNTRY rockin and Keep Posting these tunes guys & girls.

the band had talent and balls... love them

u2 cannot hold a candle to the words, music or sheer meaning of big country. I wish they could have been as recognized as they should have been, i know they added to my life a rhythmicaly better world.

best tune ever !!

Brilliant,gone but never forgotten.Thanx for the memories.

Grandi! Avevo 17 anni! Grande pezzo!

This song reminds a lot of people of a time and a place where they were in the 80's - for me it was Bristol in the winter, with the sun sinking low in the cold sky - like the flame of the west!

I agree, LeGaffer1873, the live video/version is awesome; I like the way they pan back and forth between guitarists during the intro. Steeltown is such a great album. It's a toss-up for me for favorite song between this and Flame Of The West. FOTW is just thunderous.

Great band, great music and a great man, nothing more to be said.

Big Country Masterpiece Fantastic Amazing Wonderful Song and Music

A great song and video from my favourite band.I was fortunate enough to meet stuart,tony,bruce and mark at 'glasgow nightmoves' in sept 1982."their name will never die, this time will be forever"...

I was 15 in 1985 when BC played the Hollywood Palladium. My mom dropped me off at 8:00 so I could get in to the show first. I was the smallest guy getting killed on the barriers, but Stewart saw me and winked at me to let me know that I'd be alright(my brother barged into the scrum and pulled me out later). That is one of my favorite life memories. They meant a lot to me.

The Supreme Song

I have/had the same experience. I wish that I could have seen them live, but it will never happen now. Their music helped me through a 4 year stint in the military and beyond. The Seer was the last album I bought and I lost track of them, now I'm discovering they kept putting out great music after that. I'm so thankful that there is so much to see on youtube, but it also makes me very sad.

just so bleeding brilliant and what a loss that stuart left us!!! god i hope he is ok wherever he is now....

This song played back to back with Come Back To Me always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Powerful stuff.

Saw them in the early 90's at the Hammersmith Odeon. Thought they were bloody brilliant,and a truely memorable gig.

Supreme Big Country Song And Masterpiece

I will take Big Country's entire body of work over any other band. It has more power, emotion, energy, vitality, originality, and quality, than any other artist out there.

Fue una de la mejores banda escosesa del estilo new wave / folk rock / postpunk / celtic rock

this is a sweet video! Lyrics are timely as well. BC really rocks out. RIP Stuart. memory eternal.

happy 50th stuart RIP thanks for all a fan from france we never forget you

forgot about these for sometime, as a Skids No.1 fan Big Country are back on my pod!!! ;-)

8 years ago today RIP Stuart the music lives on

Great to see them on the net. Lovely 80's band

Where is this? Why have I never seen this before? I thought I had seen every BC on film. BC at their prime. Feels so fresh! Loving it!

One of the best fucking songs ever recored. RIP Stuart.

Big Country lives forever!!!

What an amazing band!WOW!

I tip my hat to Scotland for producing this group! This is one American who was damn proud to be a fan of these guys in the 1980's and I'm thankful I got see them live in San Francisco. This was an underrated band and this was an underrated song! Stuart Adamson, I hope your in a better place where there is no pain for you.

Awesome group so underated. RIP Stuart - a tragedy

Brilliant. One of my all time favourites.

They're continuing as a trio. First 2 reunion gigs were in Scotland in July. They're in the studio now: new music being produced. Lots of enthusiastic reaction from fans & the band on their very active official website.

I can almost see the Tribes, the Saints comming back over the Hills !

i hav no idea wot the 80s wer about, becuz...well I wasn't born yet. 90s kid. lol. but I grew up w/ these guys playing away on CDs constantly. Then I had no idea hu they were, and then in 2007, i found em again, and now they rock my world. it's hard getting used to not having stuart, and it must be even harder for the guys. stuart R.I.P.

Happy 50th Stu... All the best fae a dons fan... R.I.P. Big guy

Cheers to you and good post...you were lucky, I am a huge fan and at 41 (American) I never got to meet the lads, it makes me happy that so many fans post and miss Stuart, the rest of the band is and were awesome.....Stuart carried a lot but the sound came as well from the many!!!!!!
