Our piper played this after much rehearsal when we departed Kandahar in 2005 as part of the 33CBG RCR.

Wow such an electrifying and powerful performance!  Love their smiles as much as the way they manage to surpass the greatness of their very first songs that through small alterations are turned into absolute new masterpieces. BC Forever!

I so love this band. Have seen them live often. 2 hours of jumping, non stop. Still on fire. Miss them, miss him.

Shame we'll never see this version again but I understand it's in respect of and to Stuart that we don't and won't.

This song speaks to my soul, it always picks me up when I'm feeling down, and I'll never tire of it

[allanfifield]

6:12 "We're called Big Country". I saw them live three times; it wasn't near enough.

[jaford]

Amazing! Love the nod to 'Blue Monday' at 1:19 and Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kizhe at 4:26 or thereabouts - musically educated guy was Stuart (RIP)

[ikeartfilms]

No matter what version of the song I listen to, I always get shivers at the part at 6:04, it's amazing

I just realized the date of this concert. That was before the wall came down! How did they even get permission to play? And look at the turnout.

[georgesmith]

Superb, always was, and always will, god bless you SA

Every time I look at footage like this and think about how MTV tabbed them as a "one-hit wonder" just makes me laugh. Still the most under appreciated band (in the US) EVER.
