Big Country - August 27, 1986 - Pier 84, New York City
As the master tapes of this show have been reported as "unable to be located", the chances of it receiving a newly enhanced DVD or Blu-ray release are slim.
As Big Country fans are extremely resourceful, however, we keep on striving for better examples of this much loved show.
With thanks to my good friend Alan Anbari, here is the sharpest video we have yet. I sent Alan the laserdisc rip of this show recently and he has upscaled the footage. The images are sharper and clearer and the colours are warmer. The digital audio has been left untouched as the laserdisc of the show is still the best quality available to us.
You all know this gig well so there's no point repeating what has been said previously - just kick back and enjoy the show!
Stay Alive!

One of the greatest frontmen ever and still to this day the best band I’ve ever seen live, and I’ve seen a few

@scottblack9213 6 месяцев назад

Good God. 1986, BC, Simple Minds and U2 .. the holy trinity. If I could only go back in time 24 years ago and tell Stuart "hang on in there, the music industry is about to collapse, no one will buy albums, the charts are defunct, no more music papers, no more record shops ... And your band will be retrospectively admired and youll be selling out Arenas again and you'll be having the most enjoyable time with new fans discovering your music" ... God Bless you Stuart, you are in our bones and we will never ever forget you.

I don’t know how I missed this show. I saw BC at Roseland in NYC on their first headlining tour. Also saw them at Madison Square Garden opening for Roger Daltrey. That was a right treat

Literally a lifesaver at 3am right now in the UK. Stunning, I caught this tour at Newcastle City Hall, half of the P.A. went down( I was, and still am a musician, you couldn't tell anything was wrong) Stuart stopped Wonderland, which was the opening song, twice, we got handed tickets on the way out (a cancelled PIL gig) for a compensation show even though they'd still done the full gig. During this period they were just perfect. What a time to be alive. STAY ALIVE!

I had this on VHS, bought it when I was sixteen in 1986. I was on the Youth Training Scheme, and had to be up at 5am to be on time for work. To get me going, I would play this every morning. It was my caffeine!!! Thanks for uploading!!! 😃

@ChuckCheese1 2 месяца назад

I am so grateful for videos like this. I might have seen musicians more individually talented - doubtful- but these four? Together? I have never seen their equal.

@snowyherge1549 6 месяцев назад

Yip same for me, 15 years of age and saw them at the Glasgow Barrowlands, it really was the best days❤

@TheEskimo666 6 месяцев назад

Thx for the upload! Bought this on a VHS-tape way back in time. Stuart during Inwards, great action against the "security". The stop in the solo and restart at the right time. Seen that once before. That was during a Zappa gig., but this was the best. Stay Alive

One of my favorite Big Country concerts :) Love the part where Stuart stops the music because of the fighting @ 34:16. Thanks for the upload Andy!

Thanks for the upload! I haven't seen this since 1986/87. I think the VHS tape got worn out in the end. A real nostalgia treat that takes me back to being 17 again.

@johnmalone4373 6 месяцев назад

Probably my favorite version of Inwards!

Why the video was so short to start with is a crime in itself. The quality always was shocking. Nice work both.

@dynjarren8355 6 месяцев назад

Somehow they infused their guitars with a Scottish flavor or style that I’ll never understand but they sound like a Scottish Rock band with Scottish Melodie’s or Irish. I’m not sure which. And it sounded different and fresh! Thanks for sharing this show!

@dynjarren8355 6 месяцев назад

What happened to this guy? He was so talented! Why? Makes no sense to me. They say some people have a Suicide gene. That is the only explanation I can think of. RIP

@cosximxaxfan 6 месяцев назад

I lost my mother to suicide in 1990 and I truly believe that if it hadn’t been for Stuart and BC I wouldn’t be here today, they got me through some of the darkest times of my life, I was heartbroken when Stuart chose the same path as my mother, I saw the band many times live in the 80,s but never actually met them, I have never been so upset by the loss of someone I had never met, I don’t really buy the “heroes” thing but he meant so much to me…I lost my brother to suicide in 2017 and many times since I’ve asked myself if there’s such a thing as a suicide gene , I still don’t have an answer and hope I never do.

@curiousted2725 5 месяцев назад

The band is in great form. The stock footage that was added in post production is awfully cheesy though.
