I lived and breathed this band in the 80s .Right from Script. I hitch hiked all over the UK following them on tour.I was a teenager in my first job with a very understanding boss. Listening now to Misplaced Childhood and I’m a teenager again . Just as emotive now as then.

I love Fish and do miss the voice from his youth. Much more than age or his personal habits, and Fish has attested to this, he just had horrible vocal technique and no breath support at all. That contributed more to his vocal decline than anything. He spoke about this on one of his Fish Fridays a few months back. This said lack of technique is on full display here within moments of stepping up to the mic and it just gets worse as the show goes on. However, he is a fantastic lyricist, front man and human being.
Soy un gran fan de fihs y lo tengo que decir perdió toda su hermosa voz se le nota el gran esfuerzo para interpretar hasta creo que es doloroso para el intentar cantar
My Mum a member of the company Privilege to own all 12" original press vinyl a bit played out would not mind signed album from Derek but everyone would all my family and myself attended concerts. Rio is incredible live display #underrated Is #Fish @m3diamm4yhem
Enigmatic and thought provoking lyrics encapsulated in an esoteric vibe. Fish is food for thought. Big fan of Marillion but fair play to the band, they done the business. And big applause for the backing vocalist too. Great vid poster. Thank you. 👏❤️😀
