Wow. Takes me right back. Marillion with fish have been in my life since I was 10 years old,now I'm 47and still it's fucking brilliant.

Hogarth is just as good

[@RoaryUK]

Hogarth turned out to be the ideal replacement vocally, I still enjoy the first 2 albums he did, the only issue for me was the direction Marillion would eventually take.

[@Jamesnebula]

Marilion with Fish was one of the greatest bands of all time for me.

Fugazi is still one of my top 10 albums in 2021. WHen I first heard it as a teen in the 80's, it blew my mind and it was one of the few that my music teacher mother was happy to listen to in the car as well!

Hi Kathryn! Fugazi will be reissued september 10th this year. Have a look at the Marillion or Fish website.

Magical times, when things were real.

[@pralongchristophe6842]

Same for me, my favorite album ever ! I still remember the day I bought it in 1984 and the first listen... magical

[@knopfmarkler]

Same for me, although I unfortunately wasn't born yet in the 80's... Still had the same effect on me when my dad introduced Fugazi and Misplaced Childhood to me when I was like 10 or so! Wish I could have seen them live in the 80's!

[@juliogarcia2229]

always a pleasure to see Fish performance....way more than a singer...a passionate poet!!

Pete's bass is far more interesting live than on the recordings - brilliant!

[@karenkimberley241]

Fish’s latest album is just brilliant what an end to an incredible career I’ll miss him 😐

[@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit]

I honestly hate it as he is back to the poetry spoken over a pretty dull tune stuff. I’ve not listened to it in one go yet. For me “Feast” was his pinnacle.

[@MarkIngle1959]

must admit love the lyrics but poor musically...pity he did not get Micky and Steve Wilson to co-write music...then it would heva been oustanding

[@pataleno]

Brilliant

[@marcusstreets9887]

Obviously when this was broadcast, TV sound was mono and TV speakers were pretty terrible. So the concerts were simulcast on FM radio so you could listen to the better audio with the sound on the TV turned down. Picture was 576i. Those were the days. Now, of course, I scan obituary columns in search of absent schoolfriends.

Thank you for the concert excerpt and the touching memories of this beautiful time. I still love Marillon and Fish to this day. And you can see in the concert that they still have the most loyal fans in the world. There is hardly a bad album to this day: Some albums are legendary, others are unique and even some "experiments" have succeeded in the end. Marillon is a part of my life.....

[@SamTex69]

Marillion finished in 1988... THE GAME IS OVER!

@@joshuakohlmann9731 Yeah, and it's absolute magic! A lot of folks down rate it 'cause it's different - they were struggling on the edge of imploding - that explains the extra dose of melancholy!

[@Marctull66]

never too late... check out all the wonderful remastered expanded editions that exist. They were excellent on stage with Fish (I saw them with him four times, I think). and they are maybe different now but still very good on stage with Steve Hogarth, who's a different kind of frontman

I was very lucky to see Marillion in December1984 Real to Real tour at the Barrowlands in Glasgow. They played two sets in one night to two audiences. I was in the queue outside listening to the first set ending before i got in. Was at the front, and it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever experienced. They played an early version of the first half of the Misplacfed Childhood album (it came out in 1985). Only downside was some guy screaming Grendel!!! in between every song - they didn’t play it 😂 Have seen Marillion post Fish, and Fish solo, but nothing matched that first gig for atmosphere. I’ve still got the programme, and a bootleg tape of the gig - need to see if that still works!
