This is what a cover should be - recognisable as the original song, but different in imprtant ways so that you think about the music again. Sheer genius by one of the great bands.
Underrated by whom? This " Underrated " term people use is ridiculous! I like big country since the 80s, and you obviously do to.....the word is underappreciated, not Underrated
This is amazing they do this so so much better than the beetles version. What a genius staurt was a bloody fantastic singer songwriter the best ever band l saw in my life. X
I should think McCartney would doff his cap to the sheer brilliance of this version. Was lucky enough to see BC live many times from mid 80s through to this tour. Absolute Magnificence !! RIP Stuart, a much missed man.
this make s me sad and happy sad for the loss of stuart , but happy that i was able to share, in the music , and joy of big country, they will live on in history as being one of the best ever live bands, they needed no gimmiics
One of the best Beatles covers ever, that gets better every time I hear it. Big Country are still a brilliant band...I also had the absolute privilege of seeing Big Country live when Stuart was still with us.
Only the great Stuart Adamson could cover this song and do it justice. Incredibly well done. RIP Stuart... I wish I could have known you, because I almost feel as if I did.
HOLY SHT. This is the most exciting cover of Eleanor Rigby. They're playing it like it's a thriller movie and not a song. Need to pat my forehead dry with this one. Whew.
I Love the way Stuart has made this song his own.I never liked it when the Beatles done it, but now I listen to it often.Stuart was a brilliant musician and it breaks my heart he is gone.R.I.P Sweet Stuart.
I commented on how hard a cover is to "equal or exceed" on another BC video. Here again, I find an attempt by BC on an even bigger song than, "Don't Fear The Reaper" by BOC. I have to say that this is an "Equal" Maybe squeaking by a superior note. Their is a mindfully excellent execution of an original composition done with a "choice" selection of musicians and instrumental choice. The result is as haunting as the original while being even more nuanced. BRAVO!
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice In the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream waits at the window wearing the face That she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon That no one will hear, no one comes near Look at him working donning his socks in the night While there's nobody there, what does he care?

Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby died in the church And was buried along with her name, nobody came Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands As he walks from the grave, no one was saved All the lonely people Where do they all come from?

Don't always like Beatles covers but this is brilliant.Looking forward to Big Countrys30th Anniversary tour in Liverpool next week.R.I.P Stuart Adamson.
stuart adamson was a 1 of,the guitar playing and the voice,not many folk could cover this song and imo do it better than the beatles,there other cover of black sabaths paranoid goes to show how much of a talent stuart was
This is what a cover should be - recognisable as the original song, but different in imprtant ways so that you think about the music again. Sheer genius by one of the great bands.
Hell yes!!
April 2024 !!!!! How come I’m only just seeing this masterpiece??? Stuart Adamson a multi talented genius
😘
You won't hear a better Beatles cover anywhere. God bless your soul, Stuart Adamson. It was a pleasure to have met this hugely talented man.
Best Beatles cover ever, Period.
By the most underrated band ever.
+Adriaan Renkema I love a cover that adds something to the song.
Adriaan Renkema exactly my friend 😍
You got it. This is a really high-impact version. The original is a classic, but in my opinion, this is better.
Even beats the great Zoot
Underrated by whom? This " Underrated " term people use is ridiculous! I like big country since the 80s, and you obviously do to.....the word is underappreciated, not Underrated
Tragic loss!! Tragic. Just imagine the incredible music we are never going to hear from this awesomly talented guy.
Love Big Country, never heard this cover before. The Beatles must be so jealous of this version !!! SUPERB !!! RIP Stuart Adamson.
This is amazing they do this so so much better than the beetles version. What a genius staurt was a bloody fantastic singer songwriter the best ever band l saw in my life. X
I should think McCartney would doff his cap to the sheer brilliance of this version.

Absolute Magnificence !! RIP Stuart, a much missed man.
My favourite Beatles song given a new lease of life by one of my favourite bands and of course Stuart Adamson the God of musicianship
The best cover ever of this song..Stuart & Big Country were more than versatile, that's clear!!
I have played this song so many times over the years. Each time, it is as awesome as the first time I played it.
My sister just introduced me to this. And I CANNOT stop replaying it. Incredible cover.
this make s me sad and happy sad for the loss of stuart , but happy that i was able to share, in the music , and joy of big country, they will live on in history as being one of the best ever live bands, they needed no gimmiics
One of the best Beatles covers ever, that gets better every time I hear it. Big Country are still a brilliant band...I also had the absolute privilege of seeing Big Country live when Stuart was still with us.
from the crossing to the final fling, the best live band I've ever seen, especially at the Barras.
gareth e me as well
Only the great Stuart Adamson could cover this song and do it justice. Incredibly well done. RIP Stuart... I wish I could have known you, because I almost feel as if I did.
You said it! ,BRO< YOU SAID IT!!
Stunning rendition of the classic song.
What a fantastic version of this Beatles classic .
This is absolute perfection. It blows me away every time I hear it.
HOLY SHT. This is the most exciting cover of Eleanor Rigby. They're playing it like it's a thriller movie and not a song. Need to pat my forehead dry with this one. Whew.
Only Big Country could cover this song this well. I too rarely like covers of Beatles songs, but this is really, really good!
This is the first time I've seen this....Brilliant...just brilliant. RIP Stuart.
If I got a wish to see just one gig from the past... this Dingwalls Eclectic gig would be it.
OMG... THEY ALL KICK ASS!!! On This Song!!!WOW!!
All songs from this concert are fabulous!
I Love the way Stuart has made this song his own.I never liked it when the Beatles done it, but now I listen to it often.Stuart was a brilliant musician and it breaks my heart he is gone.R.I.P Sweet Stuart.
Brilliant cover. Way better than the original. Love it!
I can t stop playing this song , BIG COUNTRY , gave me so many great nights , especialy when things where not so good for me , as they are today !
Gino Ciancio on bongos, absolute gentleman and one hell of a musician
one thing I've noticed as time went on stuart got more confidence in his singing he was a great vocalist as well as his other enormous talents
It's the ethnic edge that does it for me - and so perfectly executed.
Wow, i'm blown away - one of the best Beatles covers I've heard. nice job!
Holy snapping duckshit…what a frikken masterpiece…the guys a genius..
What CLASS and WHAT a great arrangement !
One of the very few covers of a great original that takes it to another level. Awesome!
I can’t stop playing this it’s
2020
This is the best ever 👍🏻
This is one awesome version of this great song.
Jesus.
Just amazing. So good I can hardly stand it
WHAT A AMAZING COVER ! we loved you Stuart ! you live on in our memories for ever ! .
Wow first time i heard this turns this beatle tune into a hard driving in your face rock song each day i discover more of there brilliance

always remembered. ....best ever cover 💝
Just heard this! Absolutely superb. God bless you, Stuart!
Bobby Valentino!
Oh, and big country too!
Great album!
Paul and Ringo probably laugh and say "This is twice as good as our version"
Fuck YEAH!
Oh absolutely
Only twice .... this is by far the best ever 😀
No they wouldn't nor would a billion other people it's a poor cover
🏴🥃🥃🥃here again 🍻
I absolutely LOVE this.
Amazing they did this so so much better than the beetles. ❤️
It’s great how everyone played a significant part in this
...how much we miss you, Stuart... it’s 16 years now, christ!
Stunningly beautiful and powerful! My goodness , it can’t get better.
Just lovely lovely stuff!
RIP stuart
This is amazing so so much better than the beetles version big country were the best band ever. ❤
Beyond great. An amazing version of an amazing song.
Absolutely wonderful!
amazing never heard this before
I think one of the few bands that are Better on the Stage than in the studio
Richard Gover exactly, one of the best live act's ever 😍
Big Country can do no wrong. They could have done it half as well, and I would have still been equally impressed.
This is awesome. Just awesome
Don't give a toss what anyone else thinks but this track is utterly fucking brilliant.
Felt no need to say more, ur comment says it best already
É uma banda que eu admiro muito! Infelizmente nunca vieram ao brasil!
It is a band that I admire very much! Unfortunately never came to Brazil!
Brilliant cover!
Gee this pretty epic...that whole group is so tight...awesome.
I'd wager this is the best performance of this song, ever. Way to go BC.

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream waits at the window wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hear, no one comes near
Look at him working donning his socks in the night
While there's nobody there, what does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name, nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave, no one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
