Big Country - Live In Concert
Review by John Jung
Live In Concert, the album by Big Country, is a powerful and energetic collection of live performances from the iconic Scottish rock band. Featuring tracks from their earliest days to their latest recordings, this album captures the essence of Big Country's live shows, which were known for their high-energy performances and anthemic sing-alongs.
The album opens with "Fields of Fire," a classic Big Country track that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the band launches into a string of hits, including "In A Big Country," "Look Away," and "Chance."
Throughout the album, the band's musicianship is on full display, with soaring guitars and driving rhythms that keep the energy level high. The vocals are also top-notch, with lead singer Stuart Adamson's distinctive voice commanding attention on every track.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Storm," a powerful and emotive ballad that showcases the band's softer side. Adamson's vocals are particularly impressive on this track, conveying a sense of longing and heartache that is sure to resonate with listeners.

Unbelievable
brilliant unique band..them and the Jam in concert together would have been unbelievable
Legend has it that the crowd went on to sack York.
One regret as a 56 yr old...... and that's not seeing the band with Stuart at the helm.
All these years on... and they are without doubt my go to band when I wanna play some tunes.

Melodic and Orchestral Genius
RIP Stuart. What a talent.
Thanks for the upload!!!???
Thankfully The Smiths, New Order and The Cure were also around at that time as an antidote to this shite
Very talented band! Never got their do in the US!
Gives me goosebumps awesome live band genius Stuart rip not a weak link in the band mark one of the best drummers around Bruce great guitarist underrated Tony great bass rifts and solid as a rock
I drove 15 miles to the only record store in the area that had this VHS in stock. I was 16 yrs and just barely got my drivers license. I called ahead and asked a clerk to put it aside for me. For some reason he declined... saying it's ok no one else is going to want it ( asshole!) I tore ass getting there! Circa 1985.
Hi
I used to be a guitarist but arthritis has ended that. I love Stu’s stuff and played a lot in our little band in the 80’s. I always wonder what he would have been producing these days? Miss ya Big Man. I love how he could make a guitar sound like the pipes! ??
SO much energy in the crowd. I wish I could have been there....Stay Alive, Stuart....R.I.P....
If Carlsberg did the best fucking concert in History

I was at this gig in the Barrowlands as a 16 year old. I'm in that bouncin' mob somewhere!
Stu wherever you are now it will be WONDERLAND, miss you and thanks for the music!
Adamson rock legend! Probably the best live act at this time DEFO!
Just arrived home in my mind (London now 30 yrs)at Belfast Mayfield leisure centre 1983 went to watch Big Country twice..heartbroken still Sturant gone..they took me then & still today to a better place..could cry just writing so underrated..went O2 empire London a few yrs back timeless band..
That bass though!
It was Stuart that first suggested that Will Young would make a great James Bond back in 1972.
This was always the opening song in the early days. So passionate..So brilliant..Angle Park and Harvest Home too..1983 first gig seen,Coatham Bowl in Redcar.Sound check,pub,with band all day.No cameras,no mobiles,just memories.
4 people have played their final hand
Best group in the 80s love them...and yes they are Scottish.
