Big Country - 9. Inwards - Live in New York, 1982.

Big Country.
Track 9 of 9

What is it with Big Country playing 'Inwards' in New York?! 2 legendary moments in the band's history and fortuitously both captured on film.
Big Country's 5th ever live show, August 21, 1982.
Peppermint Lounge, New York supporting The Members and Darlene Love.

"New York, The Big Apple, skyscrapers, Yellow Taxis, steaming drains... a steaming band - well we were after the show.
Five gigs into the band's lengthy career.
A fixed camera captures what, as I can only remember, a very nervous yet exuberant debut in the USA, in true club-monitoring style.
Supporting The Members and Darlene Love, with the classic collapsing of the drum riser this vid is classic archive material.
It didn't capture the piss up after though...
Aah memories."
