This song is so much better live then any studio version anyone will come up whit. The combination of Fish``s anger, and the unbareble sadness of Stevens guitar crying his hart out over the dead and the destruction.....WOW!
In my humble opinion, the magic that Marillion created when the lights of the great progressive rock bands went out, back in the 80s, ended without Fish.
Amazing to see this again, Fish was marillion, have to say i lost interest when Fish left. Script for a jesters tear is one of the best albums ever, seen them so many times, great memories.
I agree. I'm 25 and I was brought up on this by my parents (now in their 40's). I will for sure be playing marillion to my kids when I have some. Marillion will go on in the hearts and minds of a couple more generations yet.
Now you're 40 and this is still amazing. I first saw Marillion in 1984, just before I left university to start my first job. Still love Fish-era Marillion.
OMG, this brings back such wonderful Memories ... I must have been 15 or 16 when this happened. Now im 42 ... What a Great Live Version, thank you very much for this.
Fantastic - coming from Belfast this song had such resonance - particularly at the time that all we had was U2 - Bloody Sunday - that did more to divide than anything else. Not so foreign shores indeed! This should bring us hope - look how far we have come in Northern Ireland - could not have imagined it when Fish penned this track
One of the best lyricists of our time. Yes, I know all about Bono but don't think he comes close, "who orders desecration, mutilatoin verbal m>>>> in the garden of beaurocratic wants" what a line...
No matter how many times I hear this song, it still sends chills down my spine. What an amazing song...what an amazing band. H's material is decent as well = check out 'Brave' and 'Marbles'
Wow!!! This version makes me flying out in outer space. Is it possible to make music good as this???? Fish ..... shoots himself in the end here....but puh...he stands up again....I love it.
Forgotten sons, Chelsea monday and Script for a jesters tear have at least five times more listens on my ipod than any other songs. The album Script for a jesters tear is a masterpiece. The lyrics are amazing. Makes me feel sad when I hear the shit 'lyrics' of more modern artists, especially that r 'n' b bullshit that people are spoon fed nowadays.
Forgottens sons dans ce show est un véritable bijou de créativité, de qualité et surtout de dénonciation. Comment certains peuvent qualifier de shit le travail créatif manifeste de Marillion. On est pas du tout dans l'unvers de Genesis. Les propos sont toujours d'actualité et quand on se leve debout pour faire réagir...déjà là c'est quelque chose pas que du blabla...
Love this song always have! its timeless! But how many forgotton sons has there been since this song! Too many! If only mr blair had listened to this before lying to us and sendin more sons to die!
@koszmarnykarolek oh stupid me. i thought the troubles took place in NORTHERN IRELAND a part of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.
marillion i know him from the first album "fugazi" and that was before the cd I whish that he is coming back to marillion bacause with the new man on vocal marillion is nothing
Who cares who`s wrong or who`s wright?? Both of you are missing the point....Stop this useless slaughtering of each others kids.....That`s the point, nothing else! Where there are two fighting, two are wrong;) Peace and enjoy this terrific song!
a truely awsome band in the days with Fish, his charima and Steve's guitar! What a mind blowing combination!!!

Top Notch, great message. After all these years, nothing has really changed.
Amazing quality ... my era ... saw them live several times.
The words at the end of his song never fail to bring a lump to my throat even after this many years! The power of music!!
Hugely, hugely talented writer and singer.

this is my all time favourite track, love this live version, i just wish i was privileged to see them live.

Beautiful, thanks Fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No going through the motions here. This is pure emotion that never fails to bring chills to me.
What a performance, what a song....only Fish can performe like this.
To jest jeden z najlepszych utworów zespołu Marillion .
Still listening to this great song in 2022!
Fish is fantastic 💜
things never change, i love this song , wish every one could hear it ,maybe then they would
For those that served during the height of the troubles this was the anthem of so many

What sentiments ! Wherever,and whenever it may be they're still forgotten!

@zardalu such a tense moment and I love the dirty look he gives those in the crowd that simply can't control themselves.
no, simply the best bit of prog ever written! even better than genesis' suppers ready!
great song!!!!!
This might be the best live prog rock performance. Just imagine if it had been performed in front of a Wembley Stadium packed with fans.
the lamb lies down on wall straight ~ "heads on" first!
AMEN
Love this song always have! its timeless! But how many forgotton sons has there been since this song! Too many! If only mr blair had listened to this before lying to us and sendin more sons to die!

awesome - part 2 !!!!!!
first class.
He writes like Shakespear. Or used to anyway. Great stuff.
Good god. marillion is on in a million
epic!!!
Fish is the man :-)
As if it wants to say a few mercy, Dear Criminals
Genial! Der Text wohl aktueller denn je...
nao se trata de covers, ou d qqr coisa é a esencia fluindo
tanto criativa qnto tecnica...

Why is know one listening to this in 2020
it's great!

@koszmarnykarolek oh stupid me. i thought the troubles took place in NORTHERN IRELAND a part of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.
❤❤❤

Surely far out there in the universe one kind of god pointed his finger at this man!
marillion i know him from the first album "fugazi" and that was before the cd
I whish that he is coming back to marillion bacause with the new man on vocal marillion is nothing
just another forgotten son...
thx for postin
🌹👍✌️🙏❤️💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can anyone explain what is meant by “Monday signings”?
friend...
on rather more foreign shores these days...
I think you'll find its Isle. Emerald Isle = Ireland.
The fans were there, trust me, I was one....
This song is fucking brilliant.
no i coorwa super
fish was a former his time a century
Aww did you have to say 27 years? It might be true, but don't you still feel 22?
Millionen with Fish is the Best!!
Lo mejor con fish
Probably the best anti-war song in it's the best live version.
up to 2:06 pure ecstasy
Wow
usa uk.....
Fish = absolue modern pet...........
renumeratedfrog: Wrong, this was released in 83, after the war. It`s about IRA bombing.
Pop will never have well thought out lyrics like this because this! And that is why pop will always be shite.
uff ja !
something's wrong with youtube, it's only showing my views.
MARILLION is a real good band, that’s for sure!!
BUT without FISH there’s NO MARILLION!!
Mike Patton robo esto!!
Why should he? He has grown as "Fish" without the band.
They fall back to a simple pop band.
But he is FISH and ever will be
przybrał barwy wojenne
Who cares who`s wrong or who`s wright??
Both of you are missing the point....Stop this useless slaughtering of each others kids.....That`s the point, nothing else!
Where there are two fighting, two are wrong;)
Peace and enjoy this terrific song!
