3CD+2DVD.The performance on 15 March 1986 at the Grugahalle in Essen captured on DVD1 was the beginning of the tour in support of BIG COUNTRY?s third album ?The Seer?, and saw the band performing material from their first three albums. Particularly impressive is the consummate musicianship, from Brzezicki?s complex drumming to Butler?s rock-solid but fluid and imaginative bass. Overlaid with the intricate but immensely powerful six-string work from Adamson and Watson. By 1991 at the September Rockpalast gig at the Biskuithalle in Bonn on DVD2 the commitment of the band to the enthusiastic audience is evident, and while the sound of the band had moved, at least on the new material, towards something less overtly Scottish, the joy and inclusiveness of the performance was and is, as ever, thrilling.
