Big Country Grugahalle Essen 1986 Rockpalast 

Ich war dabei in Essen; in der Gruga-Halle. Als junger Mann. Unbeschwerte Zeit trotz Kaltem Krieg.

Goosebumps watching this. BC were the first band I ever saw live as a teenager on this tour. I even met them outside the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool before the gig. It was a proper OMG moment meeting them all and they were "the" coolest guys ever. Stuart really was something else, amazing guitarist, songwriter and his lyrics are pure poetry that should be written in stone for future generations to appreciate. Thanks for sharing this video and much love to all BC fans out there. #stayalive

Greatest Band Ever, Love Them For eternity. 😊❤Thanks For This Marvellous Historic Post, Love To The German Audience With Great Taste,

God bless you Stuart..Rest well..

Stuart really was a force of nature. Fantastic band, that bassist is amazing. Hope you found peace Stuart 💙 Thanks for the music, Sir.

Such great quality. Stuart was one my actual guitar heroes. RIP. I saw them live twice in the 80s Where the rose is sown is just brilliant live

STUNNING rhythm section. Mark and Tony are the backbone there. Great musicians.

El mejor grupo escocés... excelente concierto. Desde 🇦🇷

RIP Big Man, Stay Alive

That was great. Stuart's voice was in shape, hitting the high notes.

This performance captures everything that was great about music of this time. Serious and beautiful and uplifting all at once. These artists poured so much of their energy into the audience. Big Country wrote and performed so beautifully. Truly appreciate this upload.

Big Country - classic music🙂🙃😉

The drummer is unbelievable good, Mark Brzezicki!

Guess what??😊 everytime i listen to Big Country...i feel i AM IN A BIG COUNTRY🤪😎🤗👌

Been looking for this for ages..Thank you..

Phantastisch💯❤❤❤

I miss you Stuart. RIP.

Great Show! I saw it live on german television back in the days.

Thanks for posting this. Surprisingly great audio quality, especially with headphones

Thanks a million for posting. Had this on cassette... Know every note and word played it so much.., great to see the video as never got to before.... Used to picture it as open air festival setting oddly enough....BC were and remain my favourite band.... So much potential that i feel was never realised. Best live band i ever seen. Loved Stuart. Absolute artist. The other three lads are awesome musicians too.

Incredible band. Miss that guy.

So great...

Thanks for sharing

Most rocking version of Where the Rose is Sown, ever!

18 years old, had a curfew so had to be back in at 11 on a saturday. Tuned into this German channel. Had the VCR running before the first chorus and rewatched that old betamax to shreds. So nice to get reacquainted now. And that by a fellow Belgian I suspect?

Mark Brzezicki is a large part of what made the band "the Cult" so great. Timekeeping and tasteful appropriate fills that add to the arrangement

These Guys were really good.

Wish I'd seen them live in my town at their prime but they never played here (Pgh)

Dankeschon

I would love to know what that piece of classical music is at the beginning of this conert.

00:51:11 great huge atmosphere if you're ready forvit!!

The were always good.. but this gig in Germany .. the sound the vocals were on a different level.. they had a big following in Deutschland esp the niederhien nordwestfahlen.. be sure about that

💖💖💖

If youd to pick Scotland's top 5 bands where would BIG COUNTRY come ??

Pity about the terrible guitar mix on "Where the rose is sown"!
