Marillion - Slainte Mhath 2013 live. A toast to Fish!

Taken from the Brave 2013 live. If you like it - just buy it! Great live performance.. A must have for every fan of Marilllion.

[@noi5emaker]

As a fan since 1983, I have to say this is one of the best bands in the world at the top of their game. h has a lot of class and regularly pays tribute to Fish, acknowledging his great lyrics and hard work that he did with the band in the early years. There has only been one Marillion, despite the personnel changes.

[@joshbratherton1869]

A really beautiful thing for him to do. My father got me into Marillion and Fish when I was a teenager. He still won't hear a word from me about how H is now the lead singer of Marillion, and how it's possible to like the two singers. But I do (sorry, Dad) 😁

[@porkulator]

It's his loss, he's missing great music.

Love this live performance Steve Hogarth did a great job!

A toast to Fish, a wonderful gesture!

[@fabriziorusso4932]

He's a really great performer and after Fish we are lucky to have him

[@Pincer88]

It's called class, a trait that's sadly rapidly vanishing from our societies. Marillion still has it, thank heavens.

[@malcalena]

I think the Fish and H differences are behind them and they have a lot of respect for each other as fellow professionals

[@anaisabelgutierrez8058]

Observad a Steve Hogarth justo al principio de la canción su gesto espectante a sabiendas de que será bien recibida por todo el público. Nunca se librará de ese complejo.

[@isolationdisorder]

Seen this band many times, and as a U.S. fan, that is no mean feat. I got on board when FISH was still at the helm, in 1984. Steve Hogarth is a fantastic Singer. Of course he is not FISH, who could be? Steve has been HIMSELF since day 1 in this band, and that alone is worth a round of applause. I love FISH also, and have also seen him any time he's come through these parts as well as buying all his Solo material.

[@daxdax47]

Long live fish and marillion

[@SigridAnderson]

Thank you Steve, for remembering Fish... our great poet en performer...

[@tonybooth7791]

H makes these Fish era songs absolutely fly. Love it :)

[@talibe801]

I saw them live exactly one year ago,Marillion weekend,what amazing 3 day concert.Fantastic,Superb quality, and interaction with the public.

[@davegarciaofficial]

Fish in his prime (MC, CAS, Vigil) was a FEROCIOUS singer. Range, depth, emotion, bite, passion. But the reality is that with Internal Exile his voice began its descent. By the time he got to Suits and Sunsets he no longer possessed the same vocal range and prowess and marillion would have suffered for it. Having H in the band gave them the opportunity to continue to explore infinite musical avenues because H’s range was extraordinary. Another incredibly passionate singer who is second to none as a front man. It was a brilliant choice. So we got two great Marillions with two great singers and two great eras. I’ll take that!

[@mistreated]

So, so true.

[@FlabbyAbi]

Fish has given up smoking now and he actually surprised himself with how much better his voice sounded 😅 will never be what it used to be but it's nice he's trying his best for the farewell tour 🎉😍

[@gvingoe]

I really like that version- Steve does a much better job with it than i would have imagined, Top performance

Haha you are joking of course ... It's like a water without fish...or is it a Fish....

[@philouze1815]

Fish and Hogarth played together back in 1999 - it's on YT - so there is no animosity whatsoever between the two of them. They both rule. And god knows I'm a die hard Fish-era fan. But fuck me senseless, Hogarth is amazing as well, in a different genre. That's what some people won't understand. Different singer, different music. I like both. Stone me.

[@jamiemartinez8674]

Class move for "h' toasting Fish...

[@rotheryberlin7772]

Sorry , I like of Marillion only the Fish era . But this is a great performance of Steve . I think he's unique like Fish is . In the last Time I hear many Songs of the Hogarth era . It's really good. Marillion after 1989 has a new Fan !

[@hermanhelmich]

Beautiful. I've seen Fish in CA and he was drinking and drinking on the stage :)

[@KristyMcClellan]

[@tarty2581]

Have to agree, Fish in his prime was on another level but Steve Hogarth has more than stepped up to that level, particularly as the year have past.

[@jeffswarm2527]

I freaking LOVE the bass-forward mix on this show. I'm watching the while damn thing next.

[@jakemaattanen]

Share a link please.

[@TheSunlight74]

I certainly can't hear H slurring or disrespecting the song as some below are suggesting. - please point me to the timings of this or I'm calling it BS. This version fairly races along so there's a lot of words to get out - he manages it. The crowd involvement is perfectly standard for a fan-favourite like this. And his toast was a very classy and humble gesture.

[@tommyhighton8434]

Super cool of H to toast Fish H, you did this song well

[@MARBLES81]

Steve Hogarth is a legend

[@myriammelly9487]

Apparently he won't sing any material from Figazi, so I heard. Something about not feeling a connection with the songs.

I saw them at one of the weekends in Montreal where they did Jgsaw, but H didn't sing, it was audience sung and they ended it short, just after the guitar solo.

Marillion - Slainte Mhath - Lyric A hand held over a candle in angst-fuelled bravado A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far This is the story so far Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two And when you declare the point of grave creation They turn round and ask you to tell them the story so far This is the story so far And you listen with a tear in your eye To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply Is slàinte mhath Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns Holding their own last orders commanding attention We sit here and listen to all of the story so far This is the story so far Take it away Take it away Take it away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men From the realisation that all we've been left behind Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line Waiting on the whistle to blow We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows Broken promises but the whistle still blows Waiting on the whistle to blow We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow.

[@patrickmckay307]

That's a belting version of a Classic Song.Mr Rotheray you did not drop even an 8th of a beat there.The only problem Marillion ever suffered from (and I hasten to add,through no fault of their own.)WAS LACK OF T.V. AND RADIO AIR TIME people were normally so vibed up they went to see them live and completely forgot to vote in the radio poles etc,leaving the flood gates open to far ...less talented performers .Aforementioned shysters often repleat with major label contracts ,better Kit than Small businesses (and thats what Marillion are ...dont let the Anglo Scots jocularity fool you they count every Pound Note even if they pretend not too)and dubious "Cultish" attitudes.Viva Vivare...Long Live Marillion.🕊🍓🎱

There is a double CD version of this Weekend but without these three extras from Friday.

[@user-ee3xk1pk1r]

it seems like the usual motives, but alas, the fedot is not the same, only with Fish this composition acquires those painfully native sounds for which you say this is the Marillion group

Тридцать лет ныть за Фишем - особый вид мазохизма его фанатов. Пора бы уже смириться, что это давно уже другая группа, с новым лучшим голосом, с новым звучанием. Хогарт идеально подходит группе, поэтому так долго работают вместе.

@@GeeVanderplas You're right, I was one of the many who gave up on Marillion after Fish left.

its great to see that the Band is still on (good for them), but for me the thing died when Fish leaves. Over the years I tryed sometimes to find my way back - but I cannot watch and listen to this guy.....sorry. For shure- Fish couldn´t be in Marillion nowerdays, because of loosing his Voice. so sadly!!! Today I found my cure in Steven Wilson, Blackfield and Porcupine tree. When Steve Hogarth came into Marillion- it was a shock for me, because for me he seems to be a Bank-Manager and not somebodey who should stand on a stage. And his Voice don´t catch or touch.......

[@jeffchristie1541]

your loss Mike !!

[@marcelorsc1]

I feel bad for you Mike. That was exactly what I felt when Fish left back in 88. However, I did hang in there and Hogarth, despite all the criticism, got the band going. I have to admit I was not very impressed with the first couple of albums with Hogarth but these guys evolved really well over time.There are incredible albums you should at least give them a shot, try Marbles, Brave, This Strange Engine and F.E.A.R. You will not regret.
