Misplaced Childhood is the finest Album Marillion have ever recorded they have never reached the heights of this masterpiece. Breath taking Album from beginning to end.
The album was recorded in West-Berlin ... and the music video for Kayleigh has Fish walking through some parts of the city (showing several segments of the Wall and border, which will be gone now ... thus making it a "document of historic importance") and the "Schloss Charlottenburg".
Saw this album played live when they opened for Rush. Best concert if have ever witnessed. They played the album in its entirety and it was life changing for me. I cannot say enough about what this album did for me as a young confused teen back then.
Cool to see people reacting to marillion, all the album covers are works of art and in my humble opinion both fish solo and marilion have continued this to date, also you two seem like such a happy and together couple (would love to know how that works :)) keep it up you two!
Marillion is a horribly underrated band...its a crime that these guys aren't appreciated as much as they should be ...big country is in a similar category a phenomenal band and catalogue yet terribly underrated ..Great reaction video guys 👍
The story is true. Kay Lee was his girlfriend and she left him when he went on tour in America. They met again a couple of years later and kept in contact as friends until she told him she had terminal cancer. He supported her during her illness until she tragically died. Maybe that helps you to understand the lyrics of Kayliegh and the other songs on this incredible concept album.
My 28 year old daughter is called Kayleigh, due to Marillion. This album always elicits such strong emotions in me, so beautiful. If you have time and the inclination, please do the entire album. Much love.
Yeah the whole album has such a good flow. Musical poetry - kind of a shame they stop at Lavender as Bitter Suite follows (and that is a beautiful piece).
Sitting here listening to you play Marillion with tears in my eyes, I've been a fan og them from the beginning. We seem to like a lot of the same bands and type of music, I'm a Dream Theater fan as well, best band in the world at this point in time. Keep the videos coming :-)
Marillion was a great band. The style of music and the voice of Fish are just fantastic. When I hear Marillion (fish) it reminds me of Genesis (Peter Gabriel) and when I hear Genesis (Peter Gabriel) it reminds me of Marillion (Fish). The band Marillion doesn't exist anymore.
The whole album is fantastic and it was a quantum leap from their first two. I think it's still one of the best concept albums of all time. It was a huge part of my youth.
@@blakhaus5808 agreed. And script.... Although in terms of concept albums this may be their best, both Fugazi and Script for a yester's tear have better songs. Incubus, Emerald lies, Garden Party, He knows you know... The Web,
@@redkop510 Clutching at Straws is my favorite too, but Misplaced Childhood had a bigger impact on me. One of those albums that was the right music at the right time.
@@ChipMatthews Yeah...I get what you are saying...like I said I've listened to it thousands of times(Misplaced Childhood)...oozes quality..and am still listening today👍
I love love this too Kel and Rich. The melody, guitarist, and his vocals! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I am trying to catch up on all of my favorite artists videos that I missed out on while I was gone. Wow is there a lot. I am saving you for last because of the music and how you do it. But I will get there................ :-)
So glad you played some studio w/Fish Marillion. One of my all time favorite bands since the mid 80's. Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood, Script for a Jester's Tear, and Clutching at Straws still blew me away over 30 years later!
@@Kel.N.RichReactions oh no sorry if thats how it came over.I was meaning generally. The album is such a classic and it's great people are taking an interest again, I was surprised for a better word
A friend of mine introduced me to Misplaced Childhood a year ago! Wonderful album! I’m a big fan of Rush but Marillion I was not familiar with their work!
@J J Maybe stop comparing this to DSOTM. I mean, sure, it's arguably Marillion's best effort, but at the end of the day it's still just a nostalgic, watered down attempt to bring 70's prog to 80's kids. DSOTM changed music for ever, and will be held up as a true classic in centuries to come, long after Marillion have been completely forgotten. The prog OG bands of the 70's brought all their influences together, from rock to folk to jazz to classical, and created something like nothing that had ever been heard before. All NeoProg bands like Marillion looked back to is those originators and copied them as best they could. Rather than the vast gene pool of music throughout history which Genesis, Yes, Floyd, Tull etc etc drew from, Neoprog drew its inspiration just from those bands, and like the incestuous offspring of close family members, their albums lacked the genetic diversity to provide anything approaching the grandeur of their spiritual forefathers. I'm with Andrew on this one: Stop it! One does Marillion no favours by even mentioning DSOTM in the same breath as anything they ever did. Not saying they were a bad band (I saw them play this at Reading in 83 and it was okay) but come on... DSOTM??? Get real!
@J J I didn't mean to say you did. The OP (Wagner etc.) did. Then Andrew Shupe said "stop it". Then you said "stop what?", and I attempted to explain to you what Andrew was telling Wagner to stop. Admittedly I used the universal 'you' in the last paragraph (using "one" sounds too pompous but in the interest of clarity I will edit it) but I was not accusing you personally of comparing Misplaced Childhood to DSOTM.
Misplaced Childhood is a concept album with all the songs connecting. It was the end of a trilogy with Script for a jesters tear and their second album, Fugazi. All three album covers have elements that relate to some of the songs and relate to each other. The magpie and the jester are just some of those elements. Misplaced Childhood is my favorite Marillion album.
i'm 56 and i still listen to this album and i saw them live with fish at Nostell priory in west yorkshire in the early 80s loved them . i also love Script and Fugazi.
There were so much music in the 80s Marillion one of those groups more of an underground following. Lot of people missed out on absolute great music. But then again it was the 80s and there was so much music and so many genres
When I was at college and just finding my favourite style of music I first came across Marillion ( and also IQ and Pendragon). Out of all of them Marillion were my first real music love. I remember when Script first came out and then fugazi and then misplaced. Misplaced must be should really be played as one whole, it is to my mind a classic of prog rock and it will always feature as one of my favourite albums of all time. It brings back so many good memories.
I got into Marillion in the early 80's when they were being touted as the new Genesis. Being disillusioned with Genesis by that time I dove in wholeheartedly. While I enjoy the Hogarth Era, the albums with Fish hold a special place.
I've got the first three Marillion albums on vinyl (still looking for Clutching at straws). I love the artwork on those first albums it was done by Mark Wilkinson who lives local to me and the Clutching at straws cover is based on a local pub. The boy on the Misplaced childhood cover lived locally too. Mark continued to do all of Fish's solo album art up to present. It's almost like he left Marillion with fish as they then had different artists post Fish Infact I'm seeing Silmarillion on Saturday, apparently Europe's best Marillion tribute band(I don't usually like tribute acts but it's as close as I'll get to those early albums live now)... The vocalist of Silmarillion actually performs with Steve Rothery the guitarist of Marillion so I expect he has the skills!
Kel and Rich you have to listen to Misplaced Childhood in it's entirety as each song flows in to the next. This Album is a true masterpiece and Marillion have never bettered this astonishing Album it is their finest hour.
I love music so much, and it made me smile a huge grin to watch you both enjoy the music so much! It seems rare to find people who really get into it...
Phenomenal choice! I had the pleasure of seeing Marillion open up for Rush (Signals Tour, Radio City NYC) during the 'Fish era', and more recently during the 'Hogarth era'. Both eras incredible for sure!
I remember the first time when Marillion opened for Rush and the crowd hated them, but then they got used to them and loved them the next time. They’re one of my favorite bands ever.
Hey Rich thanks for opening my world up to another era of Marillion. Bought A Script for a Jesters Tear and next is Clutching at Straws. Gracias my friend
Rich I relate to every nuance of your reaction, what a trilogy!! It's so edifying to see your's & kel's reaction to all these songs that we relate to also, many thanks to you both.
For me, the greatest solo on the album it's played in Blind curve/Vocal Under a Bloodlight/Passing Strangers/Mylo/Perimeter Walk/Threshold.... Absolutely magestic!! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹. Keep up listening to Marillion 👌
I remember when this album came out, it was the album that got me hooked on the band. The music video for Kayleigh actually got a good bit or play in MTV when it came out.
I love this album so much. When I was a child and looked at the covers of the LP collection from my dad, I liked this one the most. When I was about ten or eleven I started to listen to the album and fell in love again. I love all the Fish / Marillion Albums, but this one will always be my favorite one.
I was so desperate for you to keep going... such great memories. Can I suggest another ‘Warm Wet Circles’ and ‘Sugar Mice’ from their best album Clutching at Straws
In 1986 the girl I was dating said if she ever had a daughter she was naming her Kayleigh because of this song. 2 years later we had a daughter and named her Kayleigh... 2 months ago a found a vinyl copy of this in an antique mall in Indiana
This has drifted me straight back to the summer holidays back in 1985 when my childhood sweetheart girlfriend dumped me for another boy. It broke my heart and still does to this day, emotions and joy and memories and still think about her everyday, She split up with him a few years later and now alone and single, I have been with my wife for 30 years now and happy and content with family. She saw me with my wife many years ago and I didn't see her but when I saw her at a school reunion many years later she mentioned it as I plucked up the courage to speak to her and ask her how life had turned out and she said she had wished she hadn't done what she had done and what could have been..... Still breaks my heart thinking about it and this song just brought it all flooding back..... The look Kel gave you was the same look she gave me your first love never forgotten Keep spreading the love guys
First cd i bought of theirs and i became a fan. I got their 2cd edition about 15 years ago used brand new at Hastings. I have about 8 of their albums all used from the same store. I was extremely lucky to find music so cheap. RIP Hastings!!
My favorite album is La Gazza Ladra(The thieving magpie) LIVE album. Fish is a god! I stopped buying Marillion albums the day Fish left. The poetry of Fish made all the difference!!! Eccentric philosopher who took us on incredible musical journeys!
Wow...amazing album....I named my daughter because I was so in love with the song Kayleigh.....that was over 30+ years ago.....how great to see a reaction to one of my favorite albums and artist.
Was a fan of this band from day two (First album, Script), this the third was massive in the UK and sent them somewhat mainstream , had the pleasure of seeing and hearing them play this album in its entirety at the NEC Birmingham in 85, loved the Fish years. I would recommend listening to my favourite band of all time The Small Faces if you get a chance.
OMG my favorite group ....I was a teen when this came out, saw them three times live...Fish is the best....let's not pretend...thanks for listening to it....
As an absolute Metal maniac,i love this album-outside of metal genre! It is timeless... Blind Curve is the Masterpiece of this Masterpiece...Imo Do the rest of this album,please!
Thanks for reacting to these songs, I haven't heard them in a long while. I was really into the band for a while, got the 1st 3 albums in a CD box set, miniature reproductions of the LPs. The lizard and harlequin appear on each of the album covers.
This is an album that has to be listened to from start to finish!! It's a complete concept album 😁
Jason Christman its epic and sounds great today 34 years on!
so right
When i saw them live after the release of this album Fish said : and now we play our last song, its called "Misplaced Childhood".
It was a genuine masterpiece and-to me anyway-never seems to have gotten the full respect it so richly deserved!
This is an album that has to be listened to for 14 years in any direction since its release.
Misplaced Childhood is the finest Album Marillion have ever recorded they have never reached the heights of this masterpiece. Breath taking Album from beginning to end.
Great album, but in my opinien Clutching At Straws is the best.
@@MarcVanLaere-zr5im Fugazi is number one :) Cluthing - second place :)
@@jacekcieslewicz1485 can't do it.clutcing is the best one. In my opinien.
an hour before dark, masterpiece also what about Brave
Fish era - Misplaced Childhood is good, but Clutching at Straws is way better.
Hogarth era - Brave is brilliant, as is F.E.A.R.
49 years old! Listen to the whole album!!!
Its my very favorite LP for 35 years now!!
Blind curve!!!!!
Yesss it’s a mastepiece
She looks at him always so lovingly. What a beautiful couple.
the opposite to that....and thats my looks ....
Yes nice couple/pair.
@@judebrown2672 I saw what you did there 😏
@@FFF666GP😂
This beautiful album is a masterpiece! It's brought me to tears many a time...
The album was recorded in West-Berlin ... and the music video for Kayleigh has Fish walking through some parts of the city (showing several segments of the Wall and border, which will be gone now ... thus making it a "document of historic importance") and the "Schloss Charlottenburg".
Misplaced Childhood is my favorite album of all time.... I'M 57
its my favorite too ...I just love it ....Im 48
i love this magic album. It's like a good old friend i'm glad to see each time i listen it ( i'm 50 :)
52 and still jamming on it. They just don't make music like that anymore.
I think Clutching at Straws is a little better.
55 probably for the same reasons.
Saw this album played live when they opened for Rush. Best concert if have ever witnessed. They played the album in its entirety and it was life changing for me. I cannot say enough about what this album did for me as a young confused teen back then.
I was lucky enough to see Marillion open for Rush in Indianapolis in 1986. Marillion performed Misplaced Childhood in its entirety.

You have to hear it from begginig to end... it's a 45 minute masterpiece
one of the best albums ever made
Yes, and Clutching at Straws, Brave and Marbles from Marillion are also beautiful.
The story is true. Kay Lee was his girlfriend and she left him when he went on tour in America. They met again a couple of years later and kept in contact as friends until she told him she had terminal cancer. He supported her during her illness until she tragically died.

My favorite Marillion album. Now I'm gonna listen to the rest of it. You just cannot stop in the middle of that album
Walked my beautiful wife up the aisle to Lavender...thanks for the memory

Interesting to see you listening in a Dream Theater T Shirt. DT released a live cover version of this album, they are huge Marillion fans :-)
Hard for me to believe that this is the second vid from people who have never heard this album. Thanks for the review tho. You guys are great x
Believe it. We never lie or do anything to compromise our integrity. It’s just who we are.

Marillion actually opened for Rush a couple of times. I believe on the Signals tour and the Power Windows tour.
Look up Marillion Neverland, in fact KelnRich did their own reaction to it on UA-cam
Was maybe 16 17 years old at time..great times..❤😊😊😊
The album is a masterpiece. Glad you enjoyed. Listen to the rest of the album
"Misplaced Childhood": absolute masterpiece - in terms of the music and lyrics.
First band i ever saw live..misplaced childhood tour Birmingham England...85 i think
This album is "The Darkside Of The Moon" by Marillion! ❤️
I would say the first Two.Misplaced was definatly the most commercial one.But the roughness got lost ....

one of the best albums ever written and recorded
Oh you guys. You're so sweet in your appreciation of the music and each other ✨🙏🌿
Not just my favorite Marillion album, but my favorite album period. Thanks so much for reaching. As usual, you guys are awesome!

Incredible album !!! Love them. Thanks for posting.
Kayleigh is one of my all-time favorite songs. LOVE this!
Great choice. Marillion is great. So many beautiful songs.
You stopped right when the album REALLY starts to become AWESOME!

Great session guys! One of my top favourites album & songs.
Fish has such a beautiful way of delivering those very powerful lyrics. Always draws me back to my teenage years.
This band was amazing live. Seen them open for Rush in Buffalo in 85. But far the best concert ever.
Try Marillion's "Chelsea Monday" from their album "Script for a Jester's Tear".
Rothery playing on God's guitar. Ear-gasmic!
Kavala76 one of my favourite marillion tracks
Good taste bro
agreed , great live 1983 hammersmith
Great track
True
By far the best album ever made. Script for a jesters tear a very close second......
The way they mixed these three tracks the transition between them are almost unnoticeable I think that's so cool.
Wow you guys finally reacted to these 3 masterpieces lol! Thank you! The OG band
Listened to this album thousands of times...masterpiece.Fish and his lyrics from another planet...he was Marillion for me.He left then I left.
I agree with You.
I love music so much, and it made me smile a huge grin to watch you both enjoy the music so much! It seems rare to find people who really get into it...
My favorite Marillion album as well. Very good.
i cannot believe you didnt knew these tracks, lovely reaction! My 1st love band!

Hey Rich thanks for opening my world up to another era of Marillion. Bought A Script for a Jesters Tear and next is Clutching at Straws. Gracias my friend
The 3rd album I ever bought. The other 2? Both of marillion's other 2 albums. So glad you are doing it.
This was my first Marillion album. I got it my junior year in high school 1986. I have them all now. Thanks
I was 16 when kayleigh was released in the UK and it was and always will be one of the stand out songs of my teen years
Brings back some memories, my first live concert was Marillion on the Misplaced Childhood tour, Fish was amazing live.
Rich I relate to every nuance of your reaction, what a trilogy!! It's so edifying to see your's & kel's reaction to all these songs that we relate to also, many thanks to you both.
For me, the greatest solo on the album it's played in Blind curve/Vocal Under a Bloodlight/Passing Strangers/Mylo/Perimeter Walk/Threshold.... Absolutely magestic!! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹. Keep up listening to Marillion 👌

Thanks for reacting to these songs, I haven't heard them in a long while. I was really into the band for a while, got the 1st 3 albums in a CD box set, miniature reproductions of the LPs. The lizard and harlequin appear on each of the album covers.
48 years old brazilian here and it is my favorite band, album AND trilogy or one music. Of all music. Period.
