I first bought the original version of this live cd back in 1995 and enjoyed it immensely on a long car journey to Munich. It struck me at the time that this could only be a small part of the original concert at the Glasgow Barrowlands. Sure enough, here it is in its full glory, the whole concert including in-between track banter from the great Stuart Adamson. Introducing themselves as the 'support act' Big Country launch into an acoustic set that showcases their dexterity as musicians and ability to secure their audience participitation. In the present political climate, the rendition of Rocking in the Free World is a must. What scores ultimately is the transition from acoustic to out and out electric attack from a band that can hold its with the best of them. Check out 'What are you Working For' and 'Steeltown' for sheer rock indulgence. Remember this band supported Page and Plant back in 1995, check this out and see why. One of the best live albums ever!

The whole gig re-released - I could never understand the way record companies would only release half a BC gig. The gigs were epic just as their songs were anthems. Probably the best band in the world ever. Stuart probably the nicest guy ever. This electric set was some of the hottest form of their careers. STAY ALIVE!

To lead one of the most underrated bands ever to come out of the UK, one can only imagine the torment and frustration of Stuart Adamson. And this concert, this one gig of thousands, tells you exactly why Big Country rates amongst the best guitar bands ever. Forget their pionering 'bagpipe' sound that would stir the blood of anyone, let alone the Scots, forget the rhythm section that would power a space shuttle, the sublime interaction of Stuart and Bruce. Instead, immerse yourself in the inspired renditions of their finest hour, in their granite interpretations of several classics but most of all gain insight to one of the greatest bands of our time, in their dignity whilst those with less talent than in Stuart's little finger rose to 'greater' heights, in their effortless display of skillset that is simply breathtaking and sadly, into a mindsight that gives away a little of their undeserved future. Shame on you, music industry, shame on you, facile consumer, for foresaking a band of this magnitude. We can but grasp at what was, and celebrate that we have it rendered in DTS.

20 minutes too long
This would have been so much more enjoyable if around twenty minutes has been cut, but I'm not talking about the music. Read more

I was there - The Barrowlands - late December 1993
Fortunately, I was at this gig at the Barrowlands. I saw Big Country on numerous occassions including their support of Queen at Knebworth in August 1986, but in my opinion this was... Read more
