Big Country - Town Pump

Big Country is considered to be a one-hit wonder in North America, with their big hit being "In a Big Country" from the 1983 album "The Crossing." However, they had always managed to maintain a strong following in the U.K., and had continued to record and tour. By 1993, Big Country was performing in small clubs such as the Town Pump in Vancouver, in front of die-hard fans who had continued to appreciate their distinctive sound.

Their show was amazing! Wow! The thing that struck me the most was that all of the band members were just so genuinely happy to be there and to be performing for the appreciative audience. There was no attitude or sense of entitlement. Just performers and fans bonding over a shared love of the great music.
