Big Big Train have delivered a live version of their 18-minute track “Beneath The Masts” today.
The live version stems from the band’s forthcoming live album Are We Nearly There Yet?, which is slated for a September 19 release (streaming on November 3). Vocalist Alberto Bravin said this about the live version, which can be heard here:
“Why are we releasing an 18 minute song as a single? Because we can! We always felt that Beneath The Masts was one of the strongest tracks on our last studio album The Likes Of Us and were delighted to discover that audiences regarded it as one of the highlights of the shows we played in autumn last year and in spring this year. So we couldn’t resist the opportunity to release it as the second single from Are We Nearly There Yet?“
Guitarist Rikard Sjöblom also said:
“We’ve now played Beneath The Masts live almost 30 times. I could play it another 30 times in the near future and not get bored – I believe it’s one of Big Big Train’s strongest longer songs, right up there with East Coast Racer. Like East Coast Racer, it’s also developed further as we’ve played it live and now contains an additional instrumental section influenced by one of the 1970s ultimate prog classics.”
Pre-orders for Are We Nearly There Yet? can be made here.
The band will have their first live show in 2026 at the 1865 in Southampton on March 1. This takes place before their co-headlining performance at Cruise To The Edge from March 4 through March 9. Tickets for these shows are on sale to the general public right now here.
