Hard to expect someone to sing the same way they did at 25. Smoking and drinking did take a toll on Fish's voice but what still remains is the stage presence/charisma which made pre-1988 Marillion so phenomenal. His band here is excellent...just adapting to Fish's vocals as he sings in a different key. The female backup singers take over the high notes so the vocals flow more consistently. Voices do mature in 30+ years. Fish is not the one to lip-sync. Keeps it real, genuine, crystalline.
It is a sad fact on our world, that even in classic rock, if a vocal performance is perfect, it is likely to be the recording. Fortunately there are a few performers left who have the guts to show off their foibles.
I grew up in the 1980s with Marillion as the soundtrack to those years. For me, the band was a revelation, a complete antidote to the chart-driven, electronic music-factory sounds which dominated at the time. Sure, Fish would probably be the first to admit he was never going to win awards for his vocals, but he remains so much more than just a singer. The power, emotion and imagery in his lyrics still send shivers down my spine 30 years on (** 'I was walking in the park/dreaming of a spark/when I heard the sprinklers whisper...' **). And he took it to another level when the band performed live: the painted face, Grendel helmet, army fatigues, Steve's soaring guitar, Fish pulling my mate Gary out of the crush at the front of the Birmingham Odeon, meeting the band after the gigs - these are the memories that will live on. Music isn't just about sounds and words, to me it's also about the feelings it evokes and the personal memories it brings back. For that, the Fish-era Marillion simply gets richer as time goes by.
Thank you so much for all of your comments. This is to me is all so very special and just gets better and better. The emotion conveyed surpasses anything I've ever heard. It's so wondeeful to me.
Misplaced Childhood.... one of the 10 best prog/symfo albums ever... when Marillion and Fish burst on the scene in the early eighties they were a breath of fresh air and to me they still are although the band and Fish went there separate ways... so many good memories of the concerts I saw and the people I met there
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any help you can give me!
so true, no one of these "experts" have a clue what they are talking about , yeag the voice isn't the same , who's is after ,,how many years of playing smoking bars and pubs, shit PA systems , nite after nite, living the Fish lifestyle that we all love in his songs , takes it's toll , listen to the albums then , if you want real ,,here it is
sadly as much as I love Hogarth's words, Fish will always be Marillions voice...however Fish has never come close to finding a group of musicians capable of matching the magnificence of Marillion!
Sad, but true. Those two guitar players don't match Steve Rothery. I lost every interest in NMarillion after Fish's departure, but Steve Rothery created some of the most beautiful guitar solos ever and these guys practically butchered some of them!

Hello MANRIQUE, it is very pleasant to meet people who give importance to what we give importance. I hope we can share knowledge about this wonderful artist, as well as Marillion himself. Fraternal hugs... I became your fan also for your knowledge of the work of Derick Fish and the Marillion Band
when everyone's singing at the end of pt1 I can really feel the prophets and the visionarys and the poets are all here, there can't be anything like it.....
This is just wonderfull music. Great timeless lyrics insane tunes. I just rememered my childhood and here i am once more in the playground of the broken hearts. Thx Fish, Love U and the ppl singging and partying with in this fugazi. Cheers
Fish espectacular como siempre. Note mucho esfuerzo de lo acostumbrado para sacar el timbre que le hace especial. Los anos no pasan en vano, pero muy chevere presentacion
The Big Man's on Great Form here. Gonna' try and see him in Bury st Edmonds next Spring. Last time I saw him Live was his last gig with Marillion back in 1988. It'll be nice to Reconnect after 32 years!
He's a Hero! After all those years, he still pulled it off without them! Marillion was never right without Fish& Mark Kelly. Script for a Jesters Tear & Misplaced Childhood are very demanding vocally... and full of evocative emotion... I've never heard anyone else cover the material like Fish, and I doubt I ever will.
Mike Randolph Mark Kelly has never left Marillion, Fish has never been the same without Marillion...artists grow and of course change, as do our musical tastes
gavin smith perhaps, again our musical tastes change. Have you got Feast of consequences, if so, what do you think and have you subscribed to get a free marillion with H sampler?
I really don't like any marillion after Fish's departure. No offense, you might be really tight with them, I don't know you... But I wouldn't waste my money on any of that new shit. I liked script for a jesters tear, misplaced child good, Fugazi, and I'm thinking there was one more I really liked... I've heard plenty of marillion after Fish's departure... Not good like it was... Any real fan from the old days will vouch for that.
Mike Randolph So true. The current Marillion line-up makes good music, but it does not fulfill the expectations of someone who grew up with Marillion with Fish.
I'm going to see Fish on December 17th at islington assembly hall. I see marillion in 1987 Wembley arena. MARILLION with out Fish never the same he was MARILLION.
Yes, Fish is Fish! But only Marillion can play Marillion songs! Without Steve Rothery, Mark Kelly, Peter Threwawas and Ian Mosley on their instruments....it's not the same magic, sorry!!!
Westy So Fish might not have the vocal range of many moons ago. Still not far off the money. I see Marillion loads of times Fish era. Have listened to post fish and ok ish. Band are sublime still. I think the Fish era generated music that will never fade and date. Will always come back to it from time to time. The lyrics have, and always will be a massive part of their attraction. Just sometimes a band and particular vocalist make music that will live long in the memory!
what is with people this a great performance I am a singer song writer and no just how much effort went into that performance and picked me up its keeping me going everyday
31/03/2108. J'ai vu Marillion en 1988 pour la tournée de Clutching at Straws en 1988 à Marseille ! Vu Trewavas avec Portnoy et Rothery avec Hackett (sur UA-cam !) J'avais oublié que j'aimais Fish ! Merci au gars qui a posté ça !

May I interrupt here ? ;) His voice actually had been catching up in the last 10 years. Last time I saw him (2014) his voice was the best it had been in many, many years.. believe me.
I'm a huge fan of both. I believe each went in very different directions. It's not like Journey finding a sound alike and making millions singing the same hits. It's great to hear where Fish went with his music, and Mariliion went with there's. As much as I like H. The lyrics never were quite the same when he did not have help.
Derek was the voice of the band. Hogarth was ok but he didn' t have the inflections FIsh had. And they were very early genesis-like back in the early days Fantastic stuff, i love Fish/Derek era of them. Tried Hogarth but that lasted 1-2 albums. I have not checked out anything after that which is prolly 20 yrs or more now...
Nice to see Mr Fishy can still hit some of the notes! I'm sure all the musicians there on stage with him are very good in their own right - but Marillion they definitely are not!!
Steve Francis fucking solid bed, Marvelous settings by Robin Boult for those rhythm and great lead parts him and Frank Usher to put the icing on the cake just wow......just wow

His solo albums got better and better as he aged, too!
Thank you so much for all of your comments. This is to me is all so very special and just gets better and better. The emotion conveyed surpasses anything I've ever heard. It's so wondeeful to me.
and he was the master at it ,,well said my friend

Fantastic!!! We all get older and our voices change. Allow fish the same latitude.
Fish is marrillion you muppets his voice is marrillion love it please excuse me for being so right
so true, no one of these "experts" have a clue what they are talking about , yeag the voice isn't the same , who's is after ,,how many years of playing smoking bars and pubs, shit PA systems , nite after nite, living the Fish lifestyle that we all love in his songs , takes it's toll , listen to the albums then , if you want real ,,here it is

Agree 100 %

What a show, music, emotion, lyrics (2hours30!)12 years ago, beautifulllll!! Watch out: He's in the Loreley Festival in July2015.
Mix of two evening. Marillion nowadays do 3 different shows in a weekend.
I never thought I'd be so captivated watching a band tuning their instruments live, but here we are.
awesome fish 😊 saw them in a nightclub in Bradford UK 😊 £3 in script for a jesters tear tour ...... Still remember it amazing passion
A nostalgic moment...very deep for my recordations...my son in this age was 4 years old...and today ...34 years old...the time is a FUCK !!
Awesome concert, he is damn great.
Great concert..What a great band and what kickass guitar players..Best live version of Kayleigh I ever heard
when everyone's singing at the end of pt1 I can really feel the prophets and the visionarys and the poets are all here, there can't be anything like it.....
great show , and two beautiful female voices ..
This is just wonderfull music. Great timeless lyrics insane tunes. I just rememered my childhood and here i am once more in the playground of the broken hearts. Thx Fish, Love U and the ppl singging and partying with in this fugazi. Cheers
Exelent
Fish espectacular como siempre. Note mucho esfuerzo de lo acostumbrado para sacar el timbre que le hace especial. Los anos no pasan en vano, pero muy chevere presentacion
This is fecking fantastic
fish the one and only !
The best name of progressive rock. This is a emotional rithm,,,,great...como to Brazil, please....
The Big Man's on Great Form here. Gonna' try and see him in Bury st Edmonds next Spring. Last time I saw him Live was his last gig with Marillion back in 1988. It'll be nice to Reconnect after 32 years!
those beautiful 80's are gone forever...
He's a Hero! After all those years, he still pulled it off without them!
Marillion was never right without Fish& Mark Kelly. Script for a Jesters Tear & Misplaced Childhood are very demanding vocally... and full of evocative emotion... I've never heard anyone else cover the material like Fish, and I doubt I ever will.
Mike Randolph Mark Kelly has never left Marillion, Fish has never been the same without Marillion...artists grow and of course change, as do our musical tastes
I realize your point, but Fish sounds fine with other band maytes. Whereas I'm sorry but the new marillion can't hold a candle to marillion with fish.
gavin smith perhaps, again our musical tastes change. Have you got Feast of consequences, if so, what do you think and have you subscribed to get a free marillion with H sampler?
I really don't like any marillion after Fish's departure. No offense, you might be really tight with them, I don't know you... But I wouldn't waste my money on any of that new shit.

Mike Randolph So true. The current Marillion line-up makes good music, but it does not fulfill the expectations of someone who grew up with Marillion with Fish.
This is wonderful!
got the chops back. nice to hear that voice again.
Gosh! What a Voice! Fish is the best!
I'm going to see Fish on December 17th at islington assembly hall. I see marillion in 1987 Wembley arena. MARILLION with out Fish never the same he was MARILLION.

Yes, Fish is Fish! But only Marillion can play Marillion songs! Without Steve Rothery, Mark Kelly, Peter Threwawas and Ian Mosley on their instruments....it's not the same magic, sorry!!!
Back to the roots. GREAT
Westy
So Fish might not have the vocal range of many moons ago. Still not far off the money.
I see Marillion loads of times Fish era.
Have listened to post fish and ok ish. Band are sublime still.
I think the Fish era generated music that will never fade and date. Will always come back to it from time to time. The lyrics have, and always will be a massive part of their attraction. Just sometimes a band and particular vocalist make music that will live long in the memory!
amazing performance !
Fish es extraordinario. Es un placer oirlo.

Derek was the voice of the band. Hogarth was ok but he didn' t have the inflections FIsh had. And they were very early genesis-like back in the early days Fantastic stuff, i love Fish/Derek era of them. Tried Hogarth but that lasted 1-2 albums. I have not checked out anything after that which is prolly 20 yrs or more now...
Mike Soucy you don’t know what your missing......
@@andrewcolley4794 nothing
Mike@ absolutely true.
Hogarth is OK. But there is only only fish. That's it
Que maravilha
Wir sind alte Männer geworden ...
Still have the album signed by them all 😊😊😊
Nice to see Mr Fishy can still hit some of the notes! I'm sure all the musicians there on stage with him are very good in their own right - but Marillion they definitely are not!!
+y16amp This is from 2002, now his voice is even worse
ftate of mind - talk about pulling it out of the bag! wow
Dam this band and music
fuckin awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Francis fucking solid bed, Marvelous settings by Robin Boult for those rhythm and great lead parts him and Frank Usher to put the icing on the cake just wow......just wow
❤❤❤
Una mierda escuchar con mala calidad un genio como Fish.....
Fish was marillion its like queen and Freddie mercuary marillion without fish are just imitating
the best
As with waters an floyd Marillion was never the same when fish left
Marillion was Fish / Fish was Marillion
mister Fish, you are a fucking machine! i love you dude!
Fish; good singer.....
Steve Hogarth sings better ;)
❤
Мистер Фиш пьян, как всегда, но он чист и честен.
