2023 and still, for me, the most underrated band of all time.

Thank god somone captured this

There are no words for this. How The crowd interacted. Incredible. Did you see Stuart's face when the crowd started singing, Priceless.

Gone 18years today,and it is still as wrong now as it was then.I never met you but I cared about you as if I knew you.Thanks for all you gave me,gave all of us who love your music.We will never forget you.

Love it when Stuart winks and smiles then does a dance at the end! Makes you all emotional!

He was a Poet of our times BUT he never really knew it , how we loved him , his words would melt any heart , he spoke to us in the same way that Leonard Cohen did , we miss you and we shall never forget you. Shine on you crazy diamond.

amazing....the crowd singing made me cry..

We are called big Country and we are FROM all over the place....brilliant !

This makes me cry every time I hear it, and I'm not even Scottish... This should be the national anthem of Scotland.

I was 19 when this album came out. I used to listen to 'Chance' over and over again. I was going through a very painful time in my life and Stuart Adamson's haunting vocals to this beautiful song somehow made me feel that I was not alone and that things would eventually improve. There is something about the way Stuart actually 'feels' the pain in this song that makes me wonder......what was it that made you feel so low Stuart? I can only thank you for being here for a short while and giving so much solace and pleasure with your music. I am not going to judge you for taking your own life, because we ALL have our demons, and only someone who has been so 'low' that they actually do not want to live any more can understand what made you do what you did. God Bless mate, from London

Brilliant ! Can't believe that man is not around today ..gifted

This song is in my mind everyday. Thankyou Big Country for being with me on life's journey. RIP Stuart Adamson my hero.

Somewhere in the 80's I was in Arnhem singing the chorus of this song among a few hundred other lucky people, and then they came back for an encore ...

I can't imagine what it must have felt like with that crowd around them responding the way that they do near the end. What a crowd! Beautiful.

Everything these guys said. It just doesn't get any better than this. R.I.P my beautiful friend. Thank you for everything.

great... will never forget this song and how it made me feel back in 83..

Went on the beer with them in Aintree race circuit in about 1985 , they were sponsoring Brian Morrison on a Kawasaki GPZ 900.

...thought I wouldn't care for an acoustic version but I was wrong,this is really good

so sad to lose you today 20+ years ago - thanks for the great songs, performances and the memories they bring

you think of all the acts that came out of the eighties like OMD, The Fixx, Thompson Twins, and others....these guys right here were the Best, and why ? Because they actually could play. write songs, and their chemistry with their fans is clear. Best Band ever to see live.

this is my favourite big country song, and my favourite version of it too. absolutely class and so underrated.

Oh my god love love love this reminds me of my teenage years so frigging amazing WOW x

Here we are in 2020 and we are still listening and loving your music, rest in peace Stuart , your music lives on as does your memory.....

I love the way he says "yeah" when the crowd start singing, epic song epic band!!!!

Incredible talent. RIP Stuart

Rip Stuart one of the best singers of the eighties or any decade

Stuart and BC brought so much to so many. Watching this is bittersweet

Stuart u r always in our thoughts big country big talent

Aw, it's amazing, only here would the audience participation be so enthusiastic. We all miss you Stuart.

Pure Genius..........so sad that Stuart's life ended far too early,but his songs will live on for a long,long time .....RIP Stuart.

Rest in Peace. Sadly missed, but not forgotten.

This guy, this group were incredible ! Such moving songs that still resonate today ! Thanks guys !

So superbly Beautiful,, R.I.P. Stuart, your legacy will live on forever

what a crowd

absolute brilliant record from March 1983. this record was their best ever release!!! I sincerely believe a classic of all time . Who disagrees ?

Probably the most gifted band and singer that ever graced this earth. RIP Stuart

to watch this footage is amazing. R.I.P. stu..

brings tears to my eyes, i will be with you soon stuart. all the way to honolulu, respect

grew up listening to tunes like this . Home grown talent , awesome !!

The Only band I regret not having seen.

Goosebumps.....and tears. Absolutely awesome !

Still here today ... keeping his music alive always

Thanks a million Isabelle for putting all the stuff up. on fri the 16th I watched Big Country videos all day. It's great to know that there are still so many true fans out there who will never forget Stuart. I still have his autograph on a battered cassette sleeve of Steeltown. I met him before a gig here in Cork, Ireland and he was "sound" as we say in this part of the world: So down to earth, easy going and friendly. Grazie di nuovo della tua generosità.

Have loved this song most of my adult life, RIP Stuart!

All time favorite BC song. Great poignant lyrics; understated bass and drum lines; fantastic.

What a fantastic song loved singing at Newcastle O2 academy RIP Stuart Adamson x

Amazing. Such memories of seeing these guys.

Stuart looks so happy. What a sad loss....... A great musician.

listen to that crowd! gives me shivers no phones just enjoying these absolutely heroic musicians. Stuart Adamson you aren't here in person but in our minds and hearts here forever !

Stuart Adamson , what a hero ..........RIP .............x

Goosebumps here in Yorkshire.... such a powerful song sung with much emotion...

I wish I had the talent and ability, Music gives one immortality, long live people with the ability,!

What a brilliant song writer ... Very much missed and loved still today .... YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON STUART

Wow. Hard to believe he's on the other side of the veil. What a talented songwriter and musician. Much better and longer lasting that the only band that finished ahead of them, U2. The upper guys may have gotten more airplay at the time but who is listening to them as much as we are listening to Big Country. RIPower Stuart 'son of Adam.'

I always knew they were good live but this really is incredible. Much missed, a proper talent. So sad. RIP Sir.

This is very inspiring. Sadly, there is no music like this anymore..I miss BC and Stuart..R.I.P. Stuart...

Makes me sad right now i can watch a young big country at barrowlands then turn to this both wonderful but years apart then a few years later gone

I will never tire of this awesome band.. Such a sad loss..

Just superb the best band ever, never ever felt so low please let this lock down not last forever

Skids to B/Country to Heaven. What a talent you was.

What a song, what a bloke

Goosebumps every time :-)

Weltklasse. Greets from Germany

Just love it, one of my favourite bands from the 80's!!

Always have loved this one! And this particular version was very emotional, it lends itself to an acoustic version perfectly! I loved the band back in the 80's, never did catch them live, unfortunately, could not believe the news that Stuart committed suicide, the guy had talent in spades....

Stuart had a very nice smile.Can see that he was hearty, warm man.I watch it every day.

Totally my favourite song at the moment 🙌 I love him so much! R.I.P ❤

Brilliant band good memories of these and of course runrig Scotland should be proud RIP Stuart

fecking great, how happy does Stuart look here... So sad to see him leave us. R.I.P. Thanks to all of big country for some great memories

Holy hell isabelle thanks for this...

A great talent and a voice for the underdog. You took the easy way out . While your kin battle on through and make the best of life. Sadly missed and so much more to give. We need his like in these days. Saw him at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in the late 80's sublime.Hope you found peace Stuart X

im crying at this

einer der besten songs "ever"

Simply incredible - RIP Stuart Adamson, god bless you x

Love love love this version.

Left us some lovely music and great memories Stuart. Rip.

The 16th Dec 2011 is the 10th anniversary of Stu's death. Never forgotten, thanks for the great memories.

Brilliant! Top band. Great memories.

I have been listening to this band since The Crossing came out... when I was 12... I hope I still have a lot of years to go.. But when I do.. I hope the sounds of this Band is one of the last things I hear!

Fantastic.Oh Stuart.
