Stuart, sadly missed. I was there the first time this was played in public Barrowlands Glasgow Hogmany 1983. So much raw energy and emotion a wonderful night with a wonderful band rest in peace Stuart.

This was a band of skinned knuckles and long nights. As brilliant and skilled as they were, there was always a sense of...respect. Of common decency. Big Country now stand as a kind of totem of folk culture in the face of so-called "progress." Their songs echo in your heart, whatever your beliefs.

Agreed! I grew up in CNY and I remember the first time I heard this on the radio I was in a store in Utica. It was on 96.9 WOUR. The cashier groaned..got up and changed the channel!!! I was 14 and furious..never forget it. LOL I think I have listened to them everyday since 1983. Best band ever IMHO.

Sometimes I wish I was 25 in the 80s, Talking Heads, B-52s, Simple Minds, Big Country, fucking class- now just second hand stuff. Bah

You are so right, I feel sorry for you guys. As Wordsworth said (obviously not about eighties music but it is appropriate!!):'Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, to be young was very heaven'. Glad I was young then.

don't forget crap like bananarama, thompson twins, thomas dolby, dead or alive, flock of seagulls, duran duran and kajagoogoo. I'd say there were a lot more shitty bands in the 80s than good ones.

there's something affecting about stuart up on the mountainside in the snow LOVING singing the woaoaowoah bits into the freezing air of (eye like to think) scotland (but if my memory serves, it isn't).
that was a fantastic gig you were honoured to behold, one of the great concert films. is there any sign of a dvd release?
in my teens, eye painted a mural on my wall; a collage of bc imagery, featuring the wonderland mountains, the stag, and the pub from the back of 'iabc.'
wonderland it.

Most of the bands you mentioned were no crap. Duran Duran and even Kajagoogoo were good intrumentalists for example.

Hey Stuporsession, you must be in a "stupor". The 80s bands that you mentioned were a lot more talented than all these gangsta rap crap bands nowadays. I agree with you that there were some shitty bands in the 80s but some of the bands that you mention here were pretty talented. Big Country of course is a great band from the 80s. Don't diss the 80s. It was the BEST DECADE.

What's wrong with these bands? They helped change the music of rock. In the early 80's rock was beginning to get boring and these bands gave a new meaning of rock. alternative, New wave, and punk.

If Big Country doesn't get your blood pumping, nothing will. The rhythms... the singing... the imagery. An irresistible, overwhelming force! Thanks for posting these songs!
