Book of Golden Stories
"Book of Golden Stories" is a 2001 single released by Scottish celtic rock band Runrig, released as the lead single from their eleventh studio album The Stamping Ground (2001). The single failed to match the earlier success that the band had come to experience, particularly during the 1990s, charting outside the UK Top 100 Singles Charts at number one hundred and ninety one in May 2001 in the United Kingdom.[1] PromotionRunrig appeared on the German game show Geld oder Liebe on 9 June 2001 to perform "Book of Golden Stories". on 15 December 2001, they performed the song as part of their setlist during their Rockpalast appearance in Germany.[2] In 2002, shortly following the release of "Book of Golden Stories", Runrig performed at a tribute concert in memory of singer Stuart Adamson, lead singer of Big Country. Runrig member, Pete Wishart, was a former member of Big Country between 1981–1982 as the keyboardist.[3] The band performed "Book of Golden Stories" on their final concert tour, The Last Dance, and released an official video of their final performance of the song recorded in Stirling in 2018.[4] Critically, the song has since been described as a "Runrig classic" since its original release, and has been included on the majority of the bands touring setlist since its release in 2001.[5] It was later included on the album release of the bands farewell concert, The Last Dance: Farewell Concert, which was released in September 2019.[6] Track listingsCD single (UK)
