Great Live DVD !,
Great LIVE DVD with Fish in 1983,
Unlike the original tv clips (Kayleigh as example), the songs are complete, even Grendel for a long 18 minutes !!!!
If you like Marillion for the same reasons, the electric guitar and Fish’s voice, you will love this DVD.
As a bonus, the crowd is very quiet !!!!!

|Short, but oh so sweet!!!,
I’ve been a fan of Marillion (Fish era only) since I stumbled across a tape in a record store in Phoenix back in the early 80′s. If you like your music thoughtful (both lyrically and musically), provocative and intelligent, this DVD is a must have. It’s worth the purchase price for the performance of “Forgotten Sons” and “Market Square Heroes” alone (two of their best). The DVD doesn’t have alot of frills but the interview with Fish is a high point. I miss the band very much but am thankful I saw them on the “Clutching at Straws” tour in Germany in 1987, Fish then leaving the next year.

|Finally got this,
Picked up “Recital of the Script” a couple weeks ago and finally got a second look at the DVD.
Taken from a Hammersmith Odeon concert in ’83, this is the Marillion I remebered and enjoyed.
When I first heard “He Knows, You Know” – which gets a good performance – I just knew I had to pick up their music. They’re a cross between Genesis (with Peter Gabriel) and Rush, making them a…yah, I know…prog-rock band.
Fish (Derek Dick) is a dynamic singer and lyricist, if pretentious and self-indulgent. His voice is so idiosyncratic that when he left the band, I just could not listen to the new frontman. Steven Rothery is an underrated guitarist who’s very expressive and is complemented by Mark Kelly on the keyboards. The rhythm section provides solid backing.
The high point is “Forgotten Sons” – no surprise there but I must admit that my two favorite songs – “Cinderella Search” and “Assassing” – are not on the setlist. If only “Real to Reel” was filmed(?)…I got the CD in ’84 as an UK import.
The disc is in stereo and 4:3 format with meager extras – the highlight being an interview with Fish. The video and audio quality is acceptable.
Hey, maybe I’ll indulge my curiousity and pick up a post-Fish album after this nostalgic treat.
