best drummer in the world ! not fact , just which drummer is my favourite! a lot of Ian is the little things! heavy on the ride which I love , and sometimes its what he leaves out! but when called for can smash round like one of the obvious names, yet with so much feel and understanding of the music . the man is simply a genius in my personal opinion
I was at a Royal Albert Hall show in 2019. It was absolutely phenomenal. Watch the whole Blu Ray show Jim if you can. Truly no duff moments. And the Friends from the Orchestra really do add something to the occa sion of the music. Their live in the studio rendition of "Estonia", about the car ferry sinking is a real masterpiece for youto react to🙂
Just got the Blue Ray - cant stop watching it.Previous gigs by other bands at the Albert Hall have disappointed me as the sound was poor but on the dvd its perfect. Wish I was there.
I went to the RAH gig around the time my dad died. Know this track so well but blubbered like a baby listening to it just now. They all brought so much to this performance. The sound and lighting crew too. Goosepimples. We were 11 rows from stage centre. The show was my No. 1 live gig ever
I've seen Marillion in excess of 50 times since 1985, this gig was right up there with the best of them. I was sat about 10 meters on the right hand side of the stage, it was incredible.
I wasn't lucky enough to be at the Albert Hall but when I have seen other bands there the sound hasn't been great.I do have the Blue Ray of this show and the sound is outstanding - was it that good on the night ??
Nice , I hadn't heard this version yet . Although I love the Fish era , the H era is undeniably special. I think the split was good for both parties artistically, as Fish's solo work also went to a different level, much like Marillion with H . Good to see you Jim. ( Still waiting on Brave)
@@JimNewstead Fish's solo work is a bit ...less focused. That's not a bad thing, I love a lot of his solo stuff. As you're a big Porcupine Tree fan, I'd suggest "Raingods with Zippos" if you can find it - Steven Wilson was heavily involved with that release.
best way to describe Fish sounds like 'strap' A Gabriel tribute act. Saw them in Blackpool in 88 - they were 1hr 15min late as Fish was pissed and they were rank. This is not the same band I saw dilly dilly! Good prog rock that sounds like... but isn't. They have their own space now :)
@@JimNewstead Marillion in the early days (yes I was there and go back waaaay before them) were really Fish's backing band, whereas ever since H joined it's become a cohesive unit. [btw I know Fish wasn't the original singer, there was Rastus before him but to all intents and purposes he was the first.]
Jim, everytime I listen to this, I want to be transported back to that night in 2017. Such an epic evening, seeing Marillion at the RAH, I love the way they have mixed these songs with a orchestra, god knows how, but it works and every song hits another level, especially after listening to them since 1995, the RAH, blew me way. Sublime! 😎
Seasons ends is one of my favourites albums from post Fish area, alongside FEAR and Afraid of Sunlight! Brave and Marbles are also good!Space is my favourite song and this live version is sublime.
Thanks Jim! It’s worth getting the dvd or Blu-ray of the Albert Hall concert! Lots of other songs on that to check out!!!! “Go” is also on TH-cam and worth a look from that concert I think 😉 Thanks for doing some Marillion!
Love a bit of Marillion - in fact, I'm liking it more and more. Still learning, still hearing new stuff, still being awed by the volume of music I've missed.
Yessss out of this World and scared of sunlight..good choices man.dou you know transatlantic all of thé above ? Thé final solo ..and flowerkings : thé man who walked with kings ...
I was lucky to be there that night, it was a triumphant celebration of immaculate musicianship. Hogarth took the band to new heights and you should really add Marbles and Brave on vinyl too.
Just as the quartet slow and the song started....I thought that a voice had started singing, but no, it was actually Steve's guitar that was passing for a human voice.....incredible!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. The studio version of this one is from the first post-Fish album, Season’s End. My take: they were in a period of redefining themselves, and you can see different musical tendencies vying to see who they would become. From this one, Season’s End, The Space, and Easter lean toward who they would become. They were also trying to write more commercial songs as well. The commercial side dominated on the following album, Holidays in Eden. It has a number of good tracks, but it doesn’t hang together overall. For you, I’d skip that one for now. Then came Brave, which I think is right up your alley. In some ways it’s like their 2112 - I think it’s where they said, “Right. We’re doing the music that WE want to make. Sorry commercial side.” It’s very, very good, and the ending is so emotional. A full concentration, headphones in the dark kind of experience. Other ones I recommend to you from the H era are Afraid of Sunlight, Anoraknophobia (another style evolution), This Strange Engine, Marbles (do the 2 CD version), and F.E.A.R. Of those Marbles is my favorite. Finally, a thought on Misplaced Childhood, Kayleigh, and Lavender. Yes, they had hits with those songs, but they aren’t typical of the album as a whole. It’s my favorite of the Fish era, and it’s a dark and moody concept album. Give it a go if you haven’t based on the two pop songs from it. Never mind having missed out on them before! Discover them now exactly as much as you want to! 🙂
I have Misplaced Childhood in my record collection now, and I love it. Since rediscovering Marillion, I've gone back to the beginning. I also have Brave on order and should be here in a few day's time so looking forward to spinning that. Might make a video, but depends on time restraints etc.... Thanks for the comment, appreciate it.
When I get to finally see this amazing band I certainly hope this is on their set list. When you have a musical library like they do you could possibly have 10 consecutive concerts and never hear the same song twice. I have waited far too long to come back to this band and way, way to long to see them live. This is an amazing version.
EMOCION, EMOCION Y MÁS EMOCION!!!, gracias MARILLION por estas sensaciones y gracias JIm por compartir tus siempre respetuosas reacciones con nosotros!. Saludos desde Patagonia Argentina!
From the album "Seasons End", obviously the first after Fish, the first with Hogarth, the first in a row of incredible pieces of music - but you know that already! 🙂
It is good to see and feel how timeless the music of Marillion is. Your comments about majesty and luxuriating made me appreciate your style of reaction more and more. The enjoyment of music should be the goal and you shown again how easy it is to miss out on songs and groups over the years. Time flies while you're doing other stuff. Thanks for the little rabbit hole Marillion has become. If you haven't listened to This Strange Engine you will be again flabberghasted, I am sure.
No, it's not. It is the final movement of "The Leavers", an epic tune that should be reacted to in its entirety, although by itself, due to its subject matter, it is a fine way to top off a concert.
OOOOOH! Jim, I've been waiting for you to listen to this one! Gonna come back to this once I've watched it ... :) OK, back now, had a huge grin on my face the whole time. This song is a great example of why I've always said that if you look up 'crescendo' in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of Marillion. As others have no doubt already mentioned, The Space is from "Seasons' End", their first album with Steve Hogarth. His voice cracks a bit - hell, mine does too when I try to sing songs from over 30 years ago - but there's so much character and emotion in it. You've mentioned Rothery in comparison to David Gilmour before, and Rothers makes no bones about Gilmour being one of his major influences.
That’s Christmas in March ! Because you do another Marillion Song ! So happy ... You could listen to The Invisible Man... A true Rollercoaster of emotions.
@@JimNewstead I think we can do both together :-) ... it's a really long piece of music and Steve Hogarth once said to the audience after the last note had faded: thank you for listening so carefully to such a long piece of music...thank you very much...it has touched me....okay Jim i'm looking forward to the brave 2013 concert with you !! :-) come on
Excellent, so pleased to see you head back to Marillion :) You will also like the track “Go!” from the same gig, the audience participation light show towards the end of the track is wonderful, you need to see the faces of the band :) This is from the “with friends from the orchestra” album and tour, which was amazing. The lyrics also refer to the damage someone can cause in others lives and never be away of it (the section about the tram); H witness a tram hit a parked car in Amsterdam and just carry on when he was with his previous band The Europeans; and thought it was a good metaphor for what can happen in some people’s lives, so the story goes :)
we were there on the night, sat near the front just up on the right, actually sat next to mark kellys brother who was in tears at the end of this song. H's voice had been dodgy on the build up to this show and there was some doubt as to whether he could sing this - he certainly delivered on the night. The love for the band from the audience during this show was a physical thing you could actually feel. Seen them over 100 times and this was a bit special.
This was my favourite from that album from the first minute I heard it. Shades of Floyd and Queen, with Marillion's quite distinctive melody lines. Love it!
'Season's End' from H's debut with Marillion season's End also containing the Space which ends this album (this came out just after you were turning away from them 1990) Lol !!!! Better late than never - I remember you watching Neverland & Gaza and being blown away & theres still loads of good stuff , keep up the good work- also Porcupine Tree & Steven Wilson Stuff
So nice to see how much you like it! I'm really wondering what you think of their latest album F.E.A.R., would really appreciate it if you have a listen (+ video! :D) to the New Kings. Such an awesome song. There's a great live version of it as well (same concert as this one!).
I'll check it out! I might do a vinyl play through on the channel.... got Brave on it's way so will do that first I think, but thanks for the suggestion.
Saw Marillion at the 'Vereeniging' Nijmegen Holland. My hometown, with friends, beautiful concert, please come back. Or Utrecht-Tivoli. I've seen a concert of Metallica with a bunch of 'Opera-guests' what did they do there? The friends of Marillion melted together with the band.
Easily my favorite song of the Hogarth era. Brave was a great album but IMHO the band never quite reached the heights of this first post-Fish album again.
For many the Seasons End was the last Marillion album, if not the Clutching At Straws wasn't it. For me Seasons End was exiting moment, because it showed that Marillion wasn't done. I liked H's vocal sound right from the start and I was happy he wasn't a poor copy of Fish. Seasons End also showed how Marillion had and still have a strong sound of their own. I do agree with #sequentialscott that you must get the Brave!
@@JimNewstead The notes on 'Brave" say "Play it loud with the lights off." I *strongly* urge you to try that on the first listen. It is *so* powerful and moving. The whole album builds to the final guitar solo in 'Falling From The Moon', so gorgeous it moves me to tears every time.
Nobody does it like marillion jim, absolutely brilliant band from the members through to managemen, and of course the fans, hope you have managed to update your collection with disc from the H era, plus new album arriving some.
Yippee I get to watch one of your videos again please make it sooner so I can watch Marillion( I can’t wait for over a year) again) Please do the AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL song Strange Engine Live
Surprised someone else hasn't mentioned this, so I will. I think 'chamber orchestra' is about right. It's a string quartet plus Flute and French Horn. This is a relatively recent addition. The last tour was performed entirely with the sextet, to go along with an album of old tracks dusted down with the added orchestral arrangement. The previous tour featured the sextet for half of the set, with FEAR performed just by the band - the Albert Hall video comes from that tour. Before that, they'd just used strings on a few occasions for convention weekends I think. The 'Friends from the Orchestra' album is probably a good place to start with Hogarth tracks, as it's an excellent selection of highlights from his era, and they're very nicely updated in general, though very much on the mellower side, to blend well with their tame mini-orchestra. I suspect the next tour, assuming it's after they finally manage to release a new album, will be just the band, but that's purely a guess. If you want tickets, better get in quick, I think some venues are sold out already.
The orchestral instruments really added something special to this. Who knows if there will be any concerts this year? We live and wait. Missing live music so much.
Jim, you should really check out Mark Kelly's band called Marathon. I suggest the track "Amelia" Can't post the link here without the whole post disappearing, but just put "Mark Kelly Amelia" into the YT search. First link is a live/studio show of the song - amazing stuff, as is all the album.
Thank you for this video!! Maybe my favourite Marillion song!! And album!! (Seasons End). They have taking it down a whole step from Bm to Am, so it's not quite the same! The studio-version is better, but I must say - this version isn't far behind!
If you plan to listen to some Hogarth era then i'd begin with, in no particular order :- Seasons End (his fiirst with the band) F.E.A.R. (most recent) Afraid Of Sunlight (Steve Rothery rates this as all round their strongest) Marbles (the come back after a couple of less good albums) Brave (the concept album) And also you should listen to the track 'This Strange Engine' which isn't on any of the above - constantly voted by fans as one of their best.
I really loved Marillion when Fish was singer. And I loved the first albums with the new singer. I lost interest after the album Marbles. This is from the excellent album Seasons End. Hollidays in Eden. Afraid of sunlight are also excellent albums. I can’t remember how good Brave was.
Good shit Jim. I actually enjoy the music in the H era even more than the Fish era. Of course the Fish era was amazing as well. If you like Steve's guitar, listen to his solo album.

Best live version ever.... so much emotions.... Play "Brave" live from 2013, please.... ;-)
We forgot to mention mr mosley. His heavy sound is the martial part of marillion
So nice to see someone feels the same way about Ian. He's the unsung hero in the background and I love him :)
best drummer in the world ! not fact , just which drummer is my favourite! a lot of Ian is the little things! heavy on the ride which I love , and sometimes its what he leaves out! but when called for can smash round like one of the obvious names, yet with so much feel and understanding of the music . the man is simply a genius in my personal opinion
Listened to it for a dozen times. Still moves me to tears. 😭
Music: The proof is not in the style, but in the impact. Thank you, guys.
Oh yeah, Steve Rothery's guitar work is up there with David Gilmour's and Steve Hackett's 🎸🔥
I couldn't agree more.
You could pick any song off that live album and be blown away, there's no duff tracks. Easter, Go, the whole of FEAR, just sublime
Amazing concert. Amazing band I feel privileged to have been there. 😊
I was at a Royal Albert Hall show in 2019.
It was absolutely phenomenal.
Watch the whole Blu Ray show Jim if you can.
Truly no duff moments.
And the Friends from the Orchestra really do add something to the occa
sion of the music.
Their live in the studio rendition of "Estonia", about the car ferry sinking is a real masterpiece for youto react to🙂
Sounds like a good one - I'll look into it! Thanks Paul.
Just got the Blue Ray - cant stop watching it.Previous gigs by other bands at the Albert Hall have disappointed me as the sound was poor but on the dvd its perfect. Wish I was there.
Seasons End is a fantastic album
Oh yeah, awesome reaction, what a journey their songs take us on👏👏👏
Stunning. This is how I found Marillion during lockdown.
Great reaction. As always a wonderful emotional Marillion track." Go" from the same concert, if you want to see a really happy band.
Will do! Thanks
I went to the RAH gig around the time my dad died.

Yup.... Brave is on its way, Marbles will be soon to follow. Need to wait until the end of the month again!!!
The big Screen is very cool👍
Why thank you!
Just as the quartet slow and the song started....I thought that a voice had started singing, but no, it was actually Steve's guitar that was passing for a human voice.....incredible!

Yeah right, Gosh Its enough to leave you gobsmacked. 👍👍
Hi Jim. The orchestra did an album and tour with the band called Marillion With Friends From The Orchestra.
Hogarth era. Afraid of sunlight, Brave, Marbles and Fear their latest. All one tonight is a song from Fear.
No, it's not. It is the final movement of "The Leavers", an epic tune that should be reacted to in its entirety, although by itself, due to its subject matter, it is a fine way to top off a concert.
@@Yesquire0 I know. I didn't want to be too picky in my comment. To be picky it's called "one tonight"

Great albums are, imo, Afraid of Sunlight, Brave, Marbles, Sound that can't be made and Anorakophobia
Absolute fantastic.....it would be a challenge to watch the entire Brave concert from 2013 with Jim ❤️👍
A challenge? Why? Wouldn't I make it through the concert or you couldn't watch me for that long!? Hahaha LOL :)
@@JimNewstead
I think we can do both together :-) ... it's a really long piece of music and Steve Hogarth once said to the audience after the last note had faded: thank you for listening so carefully to such a long piece of music...thank you very much...it has touched me....okay Jim i'm looking forward to the brave 2013 concert with you !! :-) come on
Season End is the1989 the first Album with h as lead singer. Brilliant album.. try Season end itself, great song. More more!!!!!!
There'll be more, for sure :)
I always find myself holding my breath at the climax of this song.
Hope they play with orchestra when I see the band in Manchester this November this is absolutely amazing 🤘
Steve Hogarth is one of the best frontmen ever. Period
I wish I had been there.
Excellent, so pleased to see you head back to Marillion :)

I never liked this song on the album but I love it now.
This was my favourite from that album from the first minute I heard it. Shades of Floyd and Queen, with Marillion's quite distinctive melody lines. Love it!
as a band they are very connected to their fans and their priviledge. he can express the things that others probably feel too. Listen to album F.E.A.R
Great Reaktion. What a view!
Glad you enjoyed it
Try the songs: 'Power' (live), 'Somewhere Else' (live) or 'This Strange Engine' (studio)
That live version of Power is fantastic!
I think the "crashing your car in Amsterdam" lyrics part is autobiographical, a scene Steve Hogarth witnessed years ago, if I reckon things right...
'Season's End' from H's debut with Marillion season's End also containing the Space which ends this album (this came out just after you were turning away from them 1990) Lol !!!! Better late than never - I remember you watching Neverland & Gaza and being blown away & theres still loads of good stuff , keep up the good work- also Porcupine Tree & Steven Wilson Stuff
Seen that Season End tour, The Space was just WoW. Really got under your skin!(in a positive way). Still a great song till today!
Modern day Bob Harris ... less I have missed .. more Marillion reviews !

Yippee I get to watch one of your videos again please make it sooner so I can watch Marillion( I can’t wait for over a year) again) Please do the AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL song Strange Engine Live
It's been a while, I know. Soz!
LOVE your reviews ... Quick Request: Karmakanic - "Two Blocks from the Edge" or "Let in Hollywood" ... cool old stuff.
Cheers Kevin, never heard of them (no surprises there!) so will add to the list. Thanks.
Have you listened to the Marillion track ‘Blue Sky Above The Rain’? It’s truly epic.
Marillion my favorite band in Fish era or in Hogarth era ❤❤
Marillion is awesome but Marillion with an orchestra at the RAH is beyond sublime
Please Check from Marillion the New Kings.....
Surprised someone else hasn't mentioned this, so I will. I think 'chamber orchestra' is about right. It's a string quartet plus Flute and French Horn. This is a relatively recent addition. The last tour was performed entirely with the sextet, to go along with an album of old tracks dusted down with the added orchestral arrangement. The previous tour featured the sextet for half of the set, with FEAR performed just by the band - the Albert Hall video comes from that tour. Before that, they'd just used strings on a few occasions for convention weekends I think. The 'Friends from the Orchestra' album is probably a good place to start with Hogarth tracks, as it's an excellent selection of highlights from his era, and they're very nicely updated in general, though very much on the mellower side, to blend well with their tame mini-orchestra.
I suspect the next tour, assuming it's after they finally manage to release a new album, will be just the band, but that's purely a guess. If you want tickets, better get in quick, I think some venues are sold out already.
The orchestral instruments really added something special to this. Who knows if there will be any concerts this year? We live and wait. Missing live music so much.
Jim, you should really check out Mark Kelly's band called Marathon.
I suggest the track "Amelia"
Can't post the link here without the whole post disappearing, but just put "Mark Kelly Amelia" into the YT search.
First link is a live/studio show of the song - amazing stuff, as is all the album.
Have a look at polish band Riverside if you've never heard them before. Similar vibe but maybe slightly heavier.
Thank you for this video!! Maybe my favourite Marillion song!! And album!! (Seasons End). They have taking it down a whole step from Bm to Am, so it's not quite the same! The studio-version is better, but I must say - this version isn't far behind!
If you plan to listen to some Hogarth era then i'd begin with, in no particular order :-
Seasons End (his fiirst with the band)
F.E.A.R. (most recent)
Afraid Of Sunlight (Steve Rothery rates this as all round their strongest)
Marbles (the come back after a couple of less good albums)
Brave (the concept album)
And also you should listen to the track 'This Strange Engine' which isn't on any of the above - constantly voted by fans as one of their best.
will always be the single best musical even I've ever been to. Nothing can or will top it and I've seen some amazing shows......
Jim... if you want a real laugh, just look up Abba messing about, very short.
I love the fact that h doesn't take himself serious... love it
I really loved Marillion when Fish was singer. And I loved the first albums with the new singer. I lost interest after the album Marbles.
This is from the excellent album Seasons End.
Hollidays in Eden. Afraid of sunlight are also excellent albums. I can’t remember how good Brave was.
Well, from the comments it seems Brave is a VERY good album! We sill see....
@@JimNewstead i have the album so it must be ok. I just can’t remember how ok it was.
Would be great Wenn you check some more symphonic Rock like : Arena IQ Pendragon Pallas Jadis
@Beaver McFluffy's World mystery is great i saw them live in Holland.
The best Song from marillion is The New Kings 17 minutes pure emotion. With Steve Hogarths best lyrics!!
Look in to Marbles or FEAR 2 marillion master peace’s
Nice sweet Marillion, but i miss A strong voice
I can never understand why a reactor, after reacting to a Marillion performance, can ever react to another band ever again.
Ah.... you see, there’s just too much great music in the world to stop listening 😁👍🏼
Good shit Jim. I actually enjoy the music in the H era even more than the Fish era. Of course the Fish era was amazing as well. If you like Steve's guitar, listen to his solo album.
Yeah.... so much material to listen to, so many off-shoots and related bands to explore. It's a life's work to keep up with it all!
