Marillion - Fugazi - live at Hammersmith Odeon 14/12/1984

[@nomam666]

now 2023 we all were fugazi, this world is totally fugazi

[@philsmith5115]

been listening to this since I was 20, now late 50s still absolutely amazing

[@gonzalo6003]

Greetings to all fans of Marillion, from Chile here we send a warm hug to all marillionistas the world and that this music will last for generations and not die ever, truly, I tell my 2 year old loves treme Marillion is called Valentina, best regards to all from Talca, Chile

[@realnutteruk1]

One of the best live bands ever.... I saw them 6 times in the late 80's.... Fish was god.....

[@MAGNUM2F]

this is tremendous. fish is without doubt the best songwriter around for the last 30 years... no one to touch him... pure genius.

[@MrHistorian123]

Except he only wrote the lyrics. And I'd argue that Hogarth is as good or even better. Season's End is the best album they ever made and the lyrics are stunning. Holloway Girl. Easter. Seasons End. The Uninvited Guest. I rest my case.

[@SamTex69]

@@MrHistorian123 But they were not written by H, the album was already finished when fish left. So "Marillion" without Fish is nothing!

[@MrHistorian123]

@@SamTex69 Easter was written by Steve Hogarth before he joined Marillion and The Space is based on a song by his previous band. And Marillion is still a brilliant band without Fish.

[@MrHistorian123]

@@SamTex69 Typical Fish Head. Fact: Easter and The Space were written by Hogarth before he joined Marillion. Marillion is still a brilliant band with Hogarth.

[@radicalstanza3614]

​@@MrHistorian123that'd be a losing argument lol. H is a better singer but nowhere near the writer.

[@bebe5969]

I was growing with this music in my heart...thank you Marillion ❤ thank you Fish ❤

[@purperendraak]

Some 25 years ago, I started listening to Marillion as a young lad. Still love these songs, still know them by heart!

[@ALEXPROGROCK]

This is the best Fugazi version with an amazing full of soul Steven Rpthery´s solo, love that guitar taste from 5:40 till the end, hats from Mexico City

[@HermanAparicioSr]

Fish is the Shakespeare of prog!

[@xvlouis]

Fish is what made me. Marillion+Fish was a revelation. A guide trough tuff times and random periods of growing up; from child to men. Best handbook on life and love challenges I had to go trough. Nothing else had this impact on my life.

[@RPZ501]

The lyrics apply as much today as they did nearly 30 years ago......thank you Fish, a true visionary !

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

the world will always be fugazi

[@hibee72]

Not to deny Fish's visionary skills, but fucking humanity had a big deal in it! :-/

[@meerforelle61]

Fish was an incredabile song writer and a very charismatic frontman. I'm really glad I met him and the band several times for some great and wild after show partys in 1982 and 1983.

[@watleythewizard2381]

Was he as huge as he appears to be in the photos?

[@MrAlexgtz]

I have seen Marillion Twice back in 85 . Knowing Script for a Jesters Tear and Fugazi by Heart , it was hillarious to see the shocked Faces of (mostly) Girls who actually came for Kayleigh and Lavender witnessing the Greatness of Songs like Garden Party, Assassing or Chelsea Monday ! Good Times Indeed .

[@dariuszzombrowski107]

Cudowny utwór z genialnej płyty.

[@olospotify]

Wielkie dzieki za materiał. Gloria for Fish!

[@richmackman4827]

I was at this show, support band were The Cardiacs - glad to hear it sounds as good as I remember it.

[@garyllewellyn-jones8896]

I saw the cardiacs supporting Marillion in Cardiff uni. Great laugh. And what a fantastic gig. They did all of Script album and then market square hero’s. I will never forget that night. ❤

[@billhenderson3918]

Sat with the man stood on the edge of the stage in Edinburgh mouth open wide heart beating in time with the drums mind blown with his lyrics listening to him even now thinking that even today his lyrics still mean something for are we all not living in a world that is Fugazi and are we all not someones Forgotten Sons

[@msmolko5973]

Oh my god, this takes me back. I was at this gig. I had such a crush on the lovely Fish

[@UAPChannel]

I saw Fish and Marillion in separate concerts in 91/92, this concer would have been amazing, he was at his best, the bass was on it, guitar, everything perfect but for a few harmonies, still best live singing performance

[@keithdovoric7709]

What a great poet. I agree wholeheartedly with those who proclaim that Marillion is not the same without Fish; while they've done some good albums in his wake (e.g. Brave), the heart and soul that was, in the Big Scotsman's own words, "a Marillion marker," went out of the band after Clutching. As with Floyd after Waters, the philosophy and poetry left in favor of "pleasant listening." Not too many remaining in today's musical marketplace who can hold sway over such passion, depth, scope, or cultural reference, to which Fish can lay claim. Long live the Jester...

[@chukwow5738]

Marillion without Fish is like a fish without water.

[@merfymac]

The poets all went into hip hop but the different music made for a generation gap, which is bad for everybody. Makes music seem cyclical - like fashion - rather than a continuum - like art.

[@SallySturman]

I used to think that, then I changed my mind.

[@Mark_T]

I genuinely want to like the post Fish stuff but unfortunately it just doesn't grab me. The music lost its exhilarating, dramatic aspect.

[@paullavan6098]

This is great even for this band and this song. This world is still Fugazi.

[@joannalebohec2203]

Went to see them Saturday in Cardiff after 33 years. I was at this gig, first I went to at 15...amazing amazing - still sounds quality. The Scottish poet.

[@UAPChannel]

Best live version ever

[@martintremblay5459]

I do love Fish, most admirable person in the music industry. Just ADMIRABLE. I wish Marillion would have gone a little further though. :)

[@stefaniar.363]

2023❤!

[@jonbarker92]

Great Pics posted. Many memories..... I was fortunate enough to see them a few times in their hey day. Those were the days, I was 18 years old and ready to conquer the world.

[@Farlig69]

4 years too late but snap, same age, same passion, turning very nostalgic...

[@BROTHER-52]

Definitely the balls of the album...he made four MASTERPIECES in just over five years ....LYRICAL GENIUS...

[@maximilianodelariega4276]

Wow...Marillion fish years...so awesome , wonderfull and powerfull

[@grzegorzrojewski2124]

I saw them in concert Poznan 1987, amazing, I'll never forget

Brixton academy 86, bloody marvellous

[@UrbanVoodoo]

In That Years i was Orphan of Mr Gabriel and Genesis. A Friend of Mine come one day with Clutching at Straws: Take, he said, this is for you. They are the simple version of Genesis, is for people like you that miss too much Mr Gabriel. I still Listen to them, but i think that you can like this band. He was right, i loved Marillion, Fish Era, for many times. And then, all gone. But, Hey, that's Life.

[@patbest3581]

pete GAB is great voice the first !

[@juliecockerill8157]

Was there! My friend worked for EMI and gave us a demo tape. We were hooked and went to see them at Hammersmith. Saw them at Nostell Priory after and then Fish left. Seeing them in their new guise in our home town soon.

[@progrock21]

Remember seeing them at Edinburgh Playhouse and coming out of the concert thinking they could not get any better playing classic songs like this one....a year later and Fish had left and it was the last time I saw them, still grieving now but thanks for posting this.

[@Dractonis]

One of those songs where the live version is just superior in every way to the studio one.

[@scandial]

Greatest poet of our generation

[@Reallaw-p8o]

One of the great songs from the Classic bootleg. One marillions best ever live recordings.

[@booshting3520]

Great days. Still love the band.

[@nanou6765]

j'ai été bercé et continue à écouter le passé est merveilleux, le futur encore meilleur, Marillion continue.... Le bonheur de les voir à SARREBRÜCK (Allemagne) Saarland, petite salle proche de ce groupe, convivialité, humble, et si précieux....Fish on t'aime, Marillion je t'm. That's real music, vive l'année 1965 bercée par tous ces groupes, PINK FLOYD, BARCLAYS JAMES HARVEST, et tant d'autres.......

[@manpiano09]

Best version of all time. Great audience singing at the end. Simply fugazi.

Great version of this song, this world is totally FUGAZI and it is yours, yeah just what I wanted for Xmas Fish a *)&(()* up world. Still sins of the fathers and all that. I'm with you I've been looking for the poets, prophets, and visionaries since the early 80s too....

[@danjsy]

I was there too, my first Marillion gig - hence mind-blowing = ) Sorry to ToonHuAnimation, they certainly didn't film this gig, and I don't think any show on the tour. The whole show is on "Early Stages : Official Bootleg Box Set" disc #5. Marvellous.

[@Joeskint]

Bloody hell, I remember BBC Radio One broadcasting this concert - I feel old!

[@martintremblay5459]

Yeah! I enjoyed a lot. :) much smiles.

[@meerforelle61]

Yeah man I know what you mean. I got to know Marillion personally back in Feb '82 when they were still a small band touring intensively trying for the breakthrough, which thankfully finaly came.

[@biigmyke]

I "accidentally"caught them at radio city music hall in N.Y.C opening for RUSH.I didn't know who the opening act was.it was mind blowing i had never heard of them before that night,needless to say I am a fan.

[@jestermindcrime1773]

the 83 tour with rush,, yeah they blew rush off the stage even with all the assholes in the crowd, it was the power windows tour,,,working man was long over

[@robertpinazza4043]

Became a fan myself at that show but Twas ‘85 and it was the Misplaced Childhood tour. …Easy on the claim they blew Rush out of the water- impossible feat, every musician recognizes this- and Rush went on for 30 more years TOGETHER, to write epic albums after this; too many to name. Yet, I grew very fond of Fish and his musical and literary approach and remain a fan. Great band. The world is definitely living in SNAFU at the moment, so naturally this song came to mind and here I am…

[@MrScarletThread]

This really is good version!

WORDS AS TRUE NOW ,AS MUCH AS THEY EVER WERE BACK THEN ..(now tell me who else can put words together as good as the only ALL SINGING ,DANCING SCOTTISH FISH )

[@danjsy]

I was there, and how is this possibly nearly 30 years ago ?!? Would pay whatever you asked to be back at Hammersmith Odeon for that night on the Real to Reel tour.

[@OKLAHOMASOONER2011]

Why is EVERYTHING good in the past? The BIEBER - GA GA crap that passes for music today will never come close to the talent that bands like Marillion had! Can you see anyone looking back 25 years from now and saying shit i wish Justin whats his face was still around cranking out those AWESOME songs? Todays music is like fast food...... quick,cheap, and not very satisfying!

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

There was crap around in the 70s and 80s, I could spend a long long time reeling it all off but people who lived those times will remember it well, unless they now have dementia. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

There is a interview in which fish was asked what Fugazi meant and his reply was exactly what I said earlier.

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

Fucked up, got ambushed, zipped in.

[@offfaceoff]

i dont know man. this is just music, poetry, art, class, all wrapped in performance. my 10 yr old daughter listens to bieber. but if i have her and her brother get into queen, or marillion or genesis--it takes some time--but they start to see the true artistry. in fact, my daughter is questioning bieber et al......a start.

Que tema ,me encanta ilove este tema o mejor dicho todos .GRANDE MARILLIONNNNNN

Dankeschön 😃

[@jamesbryce1930]

Sorry, I can't deal with Marillion without Fish.

[@joannnnable]

+James Bryce They all are great mucisians but Fish was the diamond on the ring

[@jeffbauer3425]

same here!.......and I just "discovered them ( recital of the script) a month ago !.....if only I knew of them in the 80s......

[@msmolko5973]

+James Bryce. I have friends who still go to see "Marillion" tour but I just can't. For me, Fish WAS Marillion. I saw them live about 6 times in the 80s, they were amazing

[@jeffbauer3425]

Ms Molko I would have loved to see them circa 82-84. FISH seemed to have lost his charismatic stage persona after that.

[@msmolko5973]

jeff bauer I saw Fish solo a couple of times in Cambridge and he was pretty good but nothing compared to the halcyon Marillion days. It's strange listening to this thinking, "my god, I was actually there that night" it's a little aural time machine that takes me back to being 19

[@Queenesy]

its not a matter of understanding, simply i cannot overlook the whole picture. Marillion were epic and DID influence a lot of new bands at the time. plus I think you cannot compare the two simply beacuse of the global village and the massive expusere we have today. back then people didnt simply 'click' and downloading the album. touring and preforming meant more fans and recognition now its the other way round. fame comes first, then we can choose whether to like or not.

[@myriammelly9487]

Je comprends en visionnant cette vidéo que certains des "Marillionaires" ne peuvent pas oublier Fish !!! Tellement différent... tellement spectaculaire !!! tellement théâtral !!! avec cette voix puissante, et cette énergie "atomique" !!!! Personnellement, même si j'aime beaucoup la musique et le style du groupe Marillion à ses débuts... j'avoue que... mais peut-être est-ce également en lien avec l'âge que j'ai aujourd'hui (?) je préfère... et de loin... la voix de Hogarth, l'intensité et la sensibilité dans sa façon d'interpréter ses textes, la puissance des mots et des phrasés musicaux qu'il nous donne le Plaisir et la Joie d'écouter... sans jamais me donner cette impression qu'il en fait trop.... sans jamais me lasser... J'aime Marillion... et c'est pour toujours.... mais j'aime plus encore Marillion avec Hogarth !!! mm

You are comparing apples with oranges, dear friend. Bieber is something for teenies and the dumb masses. Bieber is not worse than the teenie music in 1984 (full of crap, please check!). Today there is a lot of good music, but most of us stop being open for new stuff once we reached 30 and our life becomes full of other duties, hardly leaving time to care for strange, magic Neoprog. Marillion is the soundtrack of my lonesome teenage years and still touches me deep insight every time I hear it.
