Just came here after watching some great Marillion covers from Fleesh. Great production, superb talent. Brilliant even. But, no Derek Dick and Steve Rothery. Today, older Fish still recites these great, with age derived authority. Sadly his voice has lost most of its bravado and his tour musicians surely ain’t Marillion
" No Fish, no Marilion 😥 sugar mice, it's so sugar..one of the best emotional songs ever..love it, and my tears never ends..(original) Marillion best of..🤘
The man who could write, “when street lights throw crosses through window frames“ is on another level. Hogarth is fine and can sing, but Fish was a friggin’ poet. I mean, who thinks of “in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse“. Makes me want to get on a plane to Turnhouse (without my luggage and all).
Total class from beginning to end. Lucky enough to have seen them twice, Birmingham and Nottingham just before Fish left. Both fantastic nights, etched on the brain, thanks lads.
This song captures a period in my life perfectly. Such a lonely place I hope I never see it again Prayers/ strength to those going thru this now It can get better
I remember in my youth, going home in a cab, one early morning, from a night out. The driver was playing Marillion, script for a jesters tear. I was hooked right there! Thank you very much Mr. Driver. Hope the tips where adequate? And to you Mr. Fish, you, the romantic, the writer, the actor, the performer, the poet..., thank you for all those hours I spend listening to you and your bands music! ...(And I still do)
and NOW check out the new Marillion...not worse without the old Fish... i know what i am talking about, i was a Marillion fan from the first min ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DvbpKWV0G3E.html
A time that unfortunately will not come back. A time when music said something, a time when music could connect people, a time that I was allowed to experience and that shaped me. A concert not to be forgotten, thanks Marillion, thanks Fish
Rothery rules and the lyrics and fish the way he sings it away is perfect ...it took me alot of years to understand it literally but it got me musically when i was 17
Arturo, all good.... has to be Jon Anderson. the voice of Yes . I haven't listened to ELP or Jethro for a long time .. thanks for reminding me .. Stay safe ..😀👍
I'm 57 now and have been prog rock lover since I was 15... I know Marillion since their first album came out in the early 80's, but never acquired a taste for their music. Just a few days ago, one of my brothers had watch the full concert... When I first heard this song... Wow! It blew up my mind! It took me back to the early 70's when every day was a magical experiencing listening to new --or not-that-new--stuff by my prog rock gods. I cannot say I like Marillion a lot better than before, but this song is amazing! Everything in it is so beautiful. The guitar solo is wonderful, and Fish... He's a genius. Thanks, bro, for uploading this.
I used to have a bootleg cassette of when they played in Milwaukee later during this tour. He corrects himself that it wasn't inspired at the Holiday Inn, but at the Ramada Inn.
Still a Romantic,Dreamer and beliver in Great Music..Still playin´for the people that still believe in Love and Life. Thanks Marillion 5EVER !!! Life On !!!
Just watched the "new" Marillion version. Not a patch on this! Long live Fish. He's pretty good as a solo artist as well. Check out his latest album A Feast of Consequences. Great stuff and does it brilliant live. Wish I'd seen Marillion before Fish left...
Steve Rothery proving that he is one of the greatest guitarists of his time. Squire strat made to sound better than a USA standard Fender Stratocaster.
I own a 89 Korean made Squier strat myself. Bought it in 1990. Haven't even needed to tune it for the last few years. Such an awesome Guitar. Those 80s Squiers were as good as American Fenders. Absolute beauties. Logo on a headstock doesn't mean much as long as the Guitar is great. There are so many unknown brands making excellent guitars. Besides Squier is one of worlds best known and sold guitars. Just that they are underrated, just like 80s or 90s Washburns or Peaveys or Hamers.
Clutching grows and grows over the years. Those guys (only with Fish) had a very special chemistry. Saw them live in 85 and 87 and well, I am still impressed about those moving art they created!
I like Marillion with either Fish or H, but Clutching At Straws is definitely their best album. Never got to see them in the 80s, but finally in 2016 and 2018 in USA.
Blame it on me...Maybe I was always a freak...And I'am so Proud of beeing the way I choose..When love decides.. you're not with me....I asummed and try to still breath and grab Life from the roots.Anyway..I Love beeing in love. Cheers and Life On !!!!
