Big Country, anyone?

Darkislander: a few years before his death, Stuart had moved to Nashville and had worked with a bunch of country musicians. I'm not much of a country music fan, but the stuff I've heard that Stuart wrote or played on was really good.

Beertigger: Yeah, I had heard that the surviving members were playing a small tour for their 25th anniversary. Tony's not quite the singer that Stuart was, but I'm glad they decided to just stay a three-piece instead of replacing Stuart with some random person. I wish I could've seen them, and if they ever come through the US again, you can bet that I'll be there! And Mark is definitely a very underrated drummer!

Thatcelticband: I'd been looking for the DVD for a while, but nobody locally had it (I don't like ordering things if I don't have to.) Finally found a retailer on Amazon that had it, and I'm so glad I ordered it. It's one of my favorite concert DVD's, and I have a lot of them! I don't know if it was ever released on DVD, but the BBC did a documentary on them back in '83. I'd love to find that!

When the entire crowd's singing along, it doesn't matter that Tony doesn't quite reach Stuart's standards. Not that he's bad, but... ;)
