However, songs like 'In a Big Country' and 'Fields of Fire' are great to listen to when running. When I hear them, I involuntary run just a little bit faster.<br />This Big Country concert was broadcast on BBC TV if I recall correctly (I remember the bagpipe players).<br />BTW, after the Skids, Richard Jobson made one great album with his band The Armoury Show. Listen to the single 'Castles in Spain', for instance: about one quarter Big Country and three quarters Skids-circa-The Absolute Game.Just8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15797732994311292729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-88139945422906995982010-12-18T10:24:46.959-06:002010-12-18T10:24:46.959-06:00Thanks.
