Clutching at Straws is simply one of the best prog rock albums ever made and is superior to Misplaced Childhood in every way.
Mike, I also prefer Clutching at Straws over Misplaced Childhood. Thanks for the comment!
Agreed that it's better than Misplaced Childhood, but I personally prefer their first two albums over Clutching at straws. The psychotic element of the first two albums is so intriguing and creative, and I feel like that's what really defined marillion.
It’s a work of sublime genius. The songwriting in particular is in a class of its own.
Clutching is my favourite album...ever. never get bored. My one album to take on a desert island.
The precision here is sublime . Some bands can't recreate what they put on vinyl . This is an amazing exception to that rule . Wonderful stuff .
Marvellous video. Steve and Fish are perfect here. Man, I loved this album.
It accompanied me through one of the hardest times of my life, with giant losses and pain. These songs were with me. Marillion, one of my most beloved bands.
Just an enormous piece of music. I discovered Marilion while Fisch was already gone....i can tell all my feelings knowing nothing of life and both Fisch and Steev Hogarth and their poetry just nutered me... Thanks !
I like both versions of the band both with and without Fish, but those first four albums were absolute magical perfection in every way!
Clutching At Straws remains one of my favourite albums of ll time. The way it moves from introspective quietness to anthemic choruses naturally is pure brilliance. Saw them a few years before on their Fugazi tour. Brilliant
I was seeing Marillion as much as I could in the mid to late 80’s. Hearing them live again. here reminds how I was right to be obsessed by them. Underrated band and brilliant times
Remarkable live performance, Fish was in the form of his life.
His voice crawls under your skin to your brain, and the rest of youre live you hear this fantastic awesome voice.
I'll love Marillion with Fish for the rest of my live. I'm 72 years old. For ever and ever. Keiner sollte Fishs Lyrics singen. Es kann kein anderer!🙋♂️🙋♀️😻🖖
@@fritzwillems8589 guten Abend Freund. below is the comment I just posted.
it's an excellent Marillion album (with Fish) but I'm a fan of the beginnings and I have to prefer the first 2 albums.
Fish should never have left Marillion.
It's still pure poetry. Especially Warm Wet Circles - Completely captures the atmosphere of the world it describes.
Superb. The 'Fish' era. The best era.
Clutching at straws.. album of my life ❤🔝🎵🎶
Le meilleur album que j'ai jamais écouté..tout est logique et crédible.. d'une poésie incroyable qui donne énormément d'émotions !
Mispllaced Childhood and Script were always 1 and 2, but as I've got older and seemingly more drink sodden, this is starting to speak volumes; bloody excellent poetic description of problem of the hidden dangera of alcohol. Thank you. (BTW I know that Fish is not an alcoholic I met him in in the border town he lives in and he was a hell of a gentleman)
Always loved the way marillion and rush made the songs sound as good or better live than the albums. They didn't dumb down the solos or play an easier version of them. Steve's guitar here is on point.
exactly. love it when they stay on the plan wirh their songs. I dont like it either when bands change their songs live.
@1991Marvin often it smacks of trying can't get it as good or the same so they don't try
Incredible how they sound like the studio recordings, gives me the chills every time!
Still my favorite Marillion album and I love them all.
Was für eine fantastische Band. Mein älterer Bruder hat diese Band geliebt und mir manchmal vorgespielt. Habe das damals nie verstanden. Jetzt zöhle och diese Band zu meinen Lieblingen. Einzigartiger, dramatischer Stil. Ich liebe alle Alben der Fish Ära. Jedes einhelne hat seine Perlen und ist ein Meisterserk in sich. Jetzt habe ich etwas, das mich an ihn erinnnert und mit ihm in Verbindung hält. Grandiose Band und absolut unterbewertet. Mein Favorit böeibt aber das Album Script for a Jesters Tear. Besonders Garden Party liebe ich.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Geschichte geteilt haben. Es ist schön, sich an die Brüder, Schwestern und älteren Freunde zu erinnern, die als Kinder mit uns bahnbrechende Musik geteilt haben. Ich liebe auch Gardene Party! Danke für deinen Kommentar!
Musical arrangements of its best and such engaged musicians-please show this to our streaming kid generation, they will understand what nowadays is missing😉
DIE MARILLION ÄRA MIT FISH WAR SCHON GRANDIOS.SEHR SCHÖNE ERINNERUNGEN AN DIE 80ER.😊😊
Never been into Progrock. Never. Until I heard Marillion. Now, some of my all time favs are by Marillion. Them enchanting, phantastic tunes 😉👍🏼👍🏼🦅🦅🦅🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
I was there and I will never forget this magic night for my life! The part from Warm Wet Circles to At That Time Of The Night and you know exactly which I mean, was never reached anymore
I love the whole concert movie. Timeless.
Beyond perfect......Out of this world......
I saw this tour at the Warfield in San Fran. The only show I've seen. Absolute perfection.
Бесподобно !!! Вот это настоящий Marillion + Fish 🙏 💖❤💖 🙏
Да, в самом деле! Сочетание текстов Фиша и музыки было уникальным. Большое спасибо за просмотр и комментарий.
I totally agree with Theodore, these albums were the next best Genesis. (The Peter Gabriel Genesis) Brilliant. Fish is a fantastic and energetic performer and the Scots accent is actually a great asset. Bravo Marillion < I love this band, before and now - fantastic
we were able to experience the concert live and were thrilled............... Great ever
Sublime masterpiece of an album ❤❤❤
every time i listen to this, i search for the seat belt on my chair,esti.
Fish was irreplaceable to me, pure magic/darkness.
A masterpiece god!
Saudades dos anos 80, auge da banda com vocalista Fish!
Verdade!! Quanta coisa me vem na memória! Por sofridas que tenham sido algumas passagens na minha juventude, ouvir o Fish junto ao Marillion foi importantíssimo para minimizar os danos !! Fica a saudade...hoje o mundo está completamente desfigurado em vários aspectos !!
Misplaced childhood is the album I'm most fond of, because the first time I listened to Kayelight on the radio, I met this wonderful band by buying the album and I remember the indescribable thrills I experienced as soon as The pseudo silk kimono started. Clutching in the straw is a crazy album, with sounds and atmospheres that take your breath away. But my favorite album is Fugazi, never heard in an album such dark and intense almost hypnotic tones, a musical research worthy of a group that explores the universe of musical notes. These are the Marllion ❤️
Aqui no Brasil , tem muitos fãs do marrillion!!🫡🫡
This album and this concert I remember buying this cassette in87 when it came outcame out I was downtown Chicago I bought it at roserecords on Rush Street drove home listening to it I bought the DVD and the concert later on
I wonder why nobody ever mentions the The Thieving Magpie live album, it is absoluttely brilliant (La Gaza Ladra)
Totally agree with your comments! I bought this album when it came out and it was, and still is, brilliant!!
This set of three songs is a masterpiece especially Wamr Wet Cricles/At That Time Of The Night... I do remember the concert I saw from that tour in Paris, just a few days before that concert in Lorelei. Very moving concert. The band was at its peak by then and Fish had so much charisma.
Fabulous! Nice upload. My only time seeing the band w/Fish in Rochester, NY, October 14, 1987. Just an awesome night.
GiddyUp and Thanks for the memory.
Masterpiece
Marillion.... Toute ma jeunesse ! Merci à eux !
November 1987, Wembley Arena - The man sang warm wet circles right in front of myself and my best mate, a highlight of my life.
I was at Wembley Arena too on Thursday 5th Nov 1987 & it was a charity gig Prince Edward was even there!
What a magical concert 🖤
completely amazing, you cant compare with what they are now.... they were totally incredible..., that drummer..., ian moslay, he is incredible!
All are a great band but Ian Mosley is the heart of the band! A great drummer Saludos en español desde Chile!
The best of the best fish still my favourite band even after all these years.
fan de ce groupe et de 😍fish😍
Fabuleuse période de Marillion avec d'excellents souvenirs de concerts
The BEST live Band of the 80s end of story
Fish has the most wonderful voice!!!!!
Misplaced childhood and clutching , real to reel.....all great albuns.....
😊 thanks forte....❤
Amazing. 💜😍🙌
This goes straight to the heart! 💗
Simply brilliant.
Super zespół 🎹👍👍👍
No fish, no marillion. I star listen marillion with my father i was 7 when this concert was recorded, i remember to see this in old VHS tape, and listen to clutching on vinyl, miss this days music was something special, then i remember that my father buy the next record seasons end, and was kind of a deception, i mean the new singer, sings very well, some say mutch better than fish, but was not the same, i fell sorry because that record was made for fish voice. So i never listen to the new marillion, i, m still stuck in 87/88 the old and great marillion
no fish no marillion he was marillion the voice amazing
Simplesmente maravilhoso! Não tenho palavras para descrever o prazer em ouvir as músicas e assistir a performance no palco. Fabuloso!!!
Estou feliz que isso lhe traga tanta alegria! Obrigado pelo seu comentário e pelo seu amor por esta banda!
Fantastic,Fantastic,Fantasic 👌
Não me canso de assistir a esse vídeo. Fantástico!!!
Também nunca me canso dessa performance atemporal! Obrigado por comentar!
Gold. What a fine, fine send off for Fish.
Masterpiece!!!!
Fish lyrics just brilliant steve rothery guitar complete master while band brilliant. Not the same without Derek 😂
Steve rotheray one of the most underrated guitarists in music,he,s in my top ten 😊
I heard it a lot at the 80s here in Brazil
Great performance!
Outstanding quality, songs musicians, concert, audio and video quality. Ím very impressed, I saw them life there 1981
Steve Rothery is brilliant!!
Love this, but the memory's evoked kick hard, and I wasn't a fan when first released but god its hard not to shed a tear and smile with the poetry, some magic going on here.
Such a brilliant underrated band
They are brilliant and sound like the album live unlike dire Straits, the drummer could be sleeping and be playing, never seen a drummer with so much ease. And the other members are playing superbly and fish is the only one that makes Marillion, Marillion.
No. Marillion are still Marillion, Fish is only as good as his collaborators. In this case they were top notch.
Pura magia! Saudades...
Impressive live skill of all. If Fish didn't leave, what other masterpieces would we have?
Yes, this is a great what if question. Have you heard the demos with Fish from 1988? Fish's Vigil album from 1990 is also spectacular. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Steve is so so Good!!!!
Best band of the 80s
wow wow wow...art in its best
it's an excellent Marillion album (with Fish) but I'm a fan of the beginnings and I have to prefer the first 2 albums.
Fish should never have left Marillion.

This, is Marillion. I just couldn't click with Steve Hogarths voice . And Fish was a great poet and lyricist.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you wrote!
Love Fish.... LOVE Steve H... Steve H saved Marillion... love him❤
