Marillion 'The Great Escape'

Taken from the live concert film 'Brave live 2013' available on Blu-ray, DVD & Audio CD at www.marillion.com/shop

Love this answer

[@bellyofanarchitect]

H was the best thing that ever could happen to Marillion. I grew up with FISH and love his works with the band, but H shipped Marillion to new dimensions of modern rock.

[@elaineweatherhead5542]

Sorry I disagree...Fish was Marillion

[@bellyofanarchitect]

@@elaineweatherhead5542 I'm sorry you misunderstood. Fish will always be Marillion, but H was the best they could find after him.

[@ordinarymusic1]

@@elaineweatherhead5542 h is much better singer...

[@stependragon]

@@elaineweatherhead5542 Fish may be the first singer of Marillion, and is indeed very good... H' s voice outclasses his.

[@donniesimpson9639]

Same here. FISH is still doing great stuff too.

[@davegarciaofficial]

I’ve been saying it for years and years and will always maintain that H is one of the most emotional singers of all time.. even with a slightly “aged and weathered” voice here his delivery is just astonishing. Who sings like this anymore????

[@whitehousefarmbarnandcarav1839]

This is proper music. Unfortunately it’s not popular any more. Love this band!

[@jaywalsh9150]

@@whitehousefarmbarnandcarav1839 That's fine. Means that when concerts are a thing again, it won't be hard to get tickets. ;)

Absolute agreement, not entering into debate, I'm a fish-head but the band were fortunate to have someone who was prepared to step into large shoes, hogarth has a fantastic voice, lovely on the ear and full of power. Splendid

For me, this version is far better than the original. H lives every word that he sings and after 19 years he still has a great voice!

You've got to be kidding... his voice is shot.

[@SallySturman]

@@Dudemon-1 Your ears are shot.

Thanks KZbin! You're right!

[@johnnicholson8345]

show me another band that can remotely come close to a live performance that evokes emotion and performance such as this. H is maybe the most brilliant live artist I've ever seen and believe me I've seen well over 100 concerts from the greatest bands ever.

[@davegarciaofficial]

John Nicholson yep absolutely brother... I’ve said for years and years H is the most emotional “rock” singer of our time, maybe ever

[@checkmate545]

Steve Rothery at 2:44, one of the most underrated guitarist's of our time and when he kicks in that solo (on any track) it is mind blowing!!!

[@piotrb.stykowski885]

You must follow more of their music and know more SR... He is not underrated, he is just not commercial :D But since they recorded Grendel or later Chelsea Monday - SR is on the same majestic and emotional level as his (and mine) three heroes Gilmour, Hackett and Latimer. Truly MIND BLOWING!

[@XI4RAMSES]

i agree 100%

[@gordondodds5537]

I agree totally, on par with Gilmour

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Yep. The whole band os underated... people these days seem to want crap empty lyrics and what I call boom boom music!!

[@jeffreyindri]

for me one of the best composers on the guitar

[@thejonnygator]

by far the most underrated piece of music ever written, it's just an epic, a true roller coaster of emotions

[@KimDryden19]

This song, this show, this performance is a perfect example... This band can bring so much emotion out in men, in women, of course, but in men it's different and uncommon to read. It is gorgeous though, to watch, and read, and hear. Not that men aren't emotional over some music, just not nearly as often as women seem to be, or not out loud, or like the head under the pillow type of emotions. I have loved them since Season's End was released. And have loved h leading since just as long. They gave me hope while I was in a coma, their music met me on coming out of same. Didn't know anyone in the world, my name, nor where I was, but I knew the songs, and the singer... Appreciate all of you, men and women, who express, so beautifully, your emotions and love for the band. Thanks for sharing with us all...

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Wow mate. That's the power of music isn't it?! It's amazing how my cognative ability has got real bad due to my meds (I have bipolar) and my Fibromyalgia. I find it difficult to read... but Marillion songs... I seem to be able to keep that in. Hope you are well mate. Take care.

[@davegarciaofficial]

Wow... what a post. Thank you for sharing this and for reminding me just how fragile and precious life is. Many blessings and much light to you

THE MOST IMPORTANT BAND in my live, the most important song in my live.....

[@coffeemanandy1966]

Bear in mind they had just performed the Brave album from the start, we in the audience were already emotional wrecks - and then they go and do this - simply amazing, nobody does emotion like Marillion live.

[@Yesquire0]

In Montreal, I looked around me, and many of the men and women, mostly in the 50's and 60's, had tears streaming down their cheeks. When the song ended, the ovation was the loudest thiing I had ever heard, and lasted at that decibel level for over ten minutes.

[@reelmrj]

What's there not to like, love, eat, sleep, breath, escape with Marillion.

[@MARBLES81]

A superbly written, structured, played, and sung song, the greatest band ever, and H is up there with the likes of Plant and Mercury as a truly great rock vocalist!

[@miwoo6zz969]

as far as i am concerned Brave is the bet prog/concept album ever made.you can listen to it a hundred times and still find something new,the whole album is a series of emotional roller coasters.It truly takes me to another,better place.

[@woopimagpie]

Way back in 1994 I wasn't sure Marillion could ever be as good as they had been, but when I first heard Brave I knew that something profoundly wonderful had happened. It was then, and remains to this day, my absolute favourite album of all time. I could not even begin to guess how many times it's been played in my house, it would easily be in the hundreds, and it just never gets old. It's a part of my being, like a familiar old warm blanket, it's a faithful protector from the world, and it never fails. There is never an inappropriate time for Brave. It is unquestionably the best prog/concept album ever made.

[@claudiacanogril2013]

Best song ever

[@TheSimba3062]

H is best thing to happen to Marillion. Fish was great but H has surpassed him as a songwriter and singer. This is such a beautiful, moving song. Definitely one of Marillion's greatest achievements. This song sometimes makes me cry. The whole Brave album is a masterpiece!!

[@Pincer88]

I think there's no comparing them and I prefer none above the other. Both have their own merits. What does make H stand out is the seemingly endless enthusiasm and energy he brings to the table. And true enough; his contribution is undeniable. Without him I doubt Marillion would still be with us. Glad the band we love is still there. Cheers from a Dutch fellow freak.

[@lewisjoao7]

when songs had meaning and guitar solos would make the hair in back of your head standing up,still does

[@mikaelschevik5274]

Brave really is an incredible piece of music history. My only wish is to experience it live myself one day. At least I can watch the bluray as a consolation. Amazing performance by the band as usual. This is one of those performances that shows why H is such a phenomenal singer and performer

[@belindashaw]

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

Brave is the best Album ever made by Marillion with H. After that is Marbles.

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

This piece of pure brilliance is my favourite ever Marillion song. I live with bipolar and had a very abusive relationship... this kind of sums up all the feelings I have about it... I even played when I was in the local psych ward when I was really ill at one point. There was a nurse that came in to tell me to turn the volumn down... but he paused in the doorway and listened. He asked me if it was significant to the way I viewed things... I said yea... he nodded and said 'I get it now'. Never did tell me to turn it down! Music... the most powerful thing in the world.. especial by this band.

This song and the following track, Made Again, is the greatest thing Marillion has ever done.

[@davet8602]

I was 10 or 11 when I first heard Marillion, in the Fish era and my older brother used to listen to them. 40 years later I have seen them live many times, bought every album to date and love them more and more each year. It amazed me how they keep putting out music that is so great after all these years. I will be sad when that final album comes out(whenever that might be) but boy oh boy I have them forever.
