My favourite band of all time covering my favourite Christmas song of all time!!!! Simply beautiful!!! Thank you guys and Nadolig Llawen!!! Merry Christmas to you all!! 🎄🎅🎄
Fantastic. Brilliant. Emotional. This version did Greg Lakes’ original massive justice without losing the power of the message being portrayed. Well done Marillion and merry Christmas to all xx
Maybe only MARILLION is able to improve a fantastic 48 years old (!) Christmas song, keep the original spirit alive and add the gorgeous modern MARILLION sound. Thank you very much for each single revisited Christmas song over the last years! MARILLION FOREVER!
Ian Mosley makes this cover for me! He seems like a diamond geezer in the sense he would be equally at home on a building site as he would rubbing shoulders with rock stars!! 👌
Excelente, una de mis bandas favoritas Marillion, con la voz de Hogarth que transmite cada sentimiento en su interpretación 👏, a pesar que amo la banda con Fish con su tan, pero tan poderosa voz. Maravilloso tributo a Greg Lake (ELP), mi banda favorita con una voz dantesca. Desde mi Chile paradisíaco y poético, un caluroso saludo de navidad para todo el mundo melómano 🎶. Mi regalo para ustedes el tema de Jethro Tull "God rest ye merry gentlemen". 🎶
I can’t believe Greg penned that song in the seventies. Brilliant cover guys you couldn’t have picked a better song, you really do it justice, I loved it.
It's a great version of probably my favorite Christmas song of all time. The video is really lovely also.. except I still see Greg sitting in the Israeli desert with camels crossing behind him. I miss him a lot.
Stunning and joyful. A great way to mark the holidays and give us all hope for the new year. Thanks for giving Greg Lake's tune a new life. Maybe Greg and the rest of ELP will get the credit they deserve as some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century
To each member of the band, your work, eyes and hearts have given us another perfect moment in life. Greg Lake is indeed listening with joy in his heart.
Es una excelente version de un grupo progresivo....recordando al gran GREG LAKE..ELP....la melidia se ha convertido en un clasico de estas fechas navidenñas.....para reflexionar....Atenco México 🎉
WOW - Wonderful version of the best Christmas single ever by the greatest band ever. A poem I wrote about Greg in 2002, which he kindly signed for me: In ‘69 with Crimson, to me he was King, Fripp asked him to play bass and wanted him to sing. He Talked to the Wind and craved for Cat Food, Though later got arrested for swimming in the nude. He joined Keith and Carl at the dawn of a new decade, So no more Epitaph or Cadence and Cascade. His popularity soared on record and on stage, As he sang about a Sheriff, Father Christmas and The Sage. He’s highly skilled on guitar be it twelve strings, six or four, No trucks full of gear, just a Persian rug on the floor. “ Oh what a Lucky Man “ he sang to us all, Then later: C’est La Vie, Pirates and So Far to Fall. I’ve loved his music for so long, he feels like a friend, For me I hope and pray his show will never end.
There's nothing worse than an awful cover of a great song. Guys, you've avoided that in spades, and have done enormous credit and justice to one of the greatest Christmas songs ever written. Thanks for sharing that excellent composition. Brilliant! Happy Christmas to you and all Marillion fans everywhere. Just an aside, if anyone hasn't read Greg Lake's autobiography 'Lucky Man', ask for it for Christmas, it's a great read.
@@johnwitt583 I think that you have misunderstood my post. I think that the Marillion version is a credit to the song and has respected the presentation and format by following the original sheet music with the addition of Steve's guitar solo which complements it well. So I don't agree that only Greg should ever do it (can't speak for Wetton), what I said was I hate great songs being ruined by awful covers. The Marillion cover is excellent.
@@marianocuevas363 Your translation appears to suggest that H's vocals are raspy (harsh?), which I have to disagree with. Greg Lake's voice may sound smoother (he was in his late 20's when he recorded it) but H's voice is ideal for this song.
My all time favourite Christmas 'tune'. Many thanks for such a respectful and awesome version and for being the amazing band you are. A little early I know but the very best of the season to you all and for Hogmanay and beyond.
I almost started to cry at the end of the song. It is just an incredible cover of one of the best ever Christmas songs. I wish Marillion would release this on vinyl!
Bèh Gran BELLA VERSIONE del classico NATALIZIO di EL&P, I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS da parte dei MARILLION , davvero molto buona da parte della band di STEVE ROTHERY!!!!! Senza dimenticare il contributo al brano dato da un certo PROKOFIEV!!!!!! Da parte dei MARILLION è oltre che un bel brano di carattere natalizio è anche un modo per ricordare il GRANDE indimenticabile GREG LAKE rip che credo sia anche l'autore del brano ispiratogli come detto prima da un certo PROKOFIEV.
The best cover version of Greg Lake's classic Christmas song I have heard. Beautiful!
Have you heard Honeymoon Suite's cover?
Who is here again this Festival? Happy Holidays Marillion and Fans.
Fantastic!! Now we have both Easter and Christmas Marillion music to listen to.
Womderful version of a classic
I bought the original version by Greg Lake in the 70,s. The marillion version is the best cover I have heard. Long live Marillion and ELP.
Thank you gents. We miss you in the USA.
Happy Xmas to all Marillions all over the world. And to all mankind, we need it.
My favourite band of all time covering my favourite Christmas song of all time!!!! Simply beautiful!!! Thank you guys and Nadolig Llawen!!! Merry Christmas to you all!! 🎄🎅🎄
Greg probably approved 100%. LOVELY.
Fantastic. Brilliant. Emotional. This version did Greg Lakes’ original massive justice without losing the power of the message being portrayed. Well done Marillion and merry Christmas to all xx
thank you for keeping this wonderful song alive

MARILLION FOREVER!
It’s a rare thing - a tasteful Christmas song. Thanks for sharing this.
Merry Christmas to you all and all the best for 2024
Good version. RIP Peter Sinfield who just passed away, and Greg Lake too of course.
H has that similar emotive voice akin to Greg.
When a song is unique, it can only last through time.
What a great inspiration! Many thanks to Marillion.
Wonderful, brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. RIP Greg Lake.
Brilliant cover of an epic song
It's like that with Marillion... I haven't even heard the song yet and I've already pressed the like button.
merci à vous 5 pour toutes ces années de bonheur musical et joyeux Noel à Marillion pour de longues années encore !!!!
Beautiful. (No pun intended.)
Love it, very poignant, when will there be peace on earth? We want it NOW.

Mi regalo para ustedes el tema de Jethro Tull "God rest ye merry gentlemen". 🎶
Ese sonido de la guitarra de Steve al final suena increible y única.
Rothery solo from @3:35 is what this song has always needed ⛄
It's the return of the e-bow!
I sold my Escort XR3i to Steve Rothery in 1985.
one of the Steves.... can you name the others I am thinking of?
A Rothery solo is never going to detract from a song is it. Well done chaps.
Steve Rothery sencillamente genial como ningún otro..
I can’t believe Greg penned that song in the seventies. Brilliant cover guys you couldn’t have picked a better song, you really do it justice, I loved it.
Wow. Absolutely brilliant.
🤯 my favorite Christmas song redone by favorite group ‼️
Beautiful! Not just a note-for note cover, this retains the original spirit but adds a new take. Happy Christmas to you all!
Excellent tribute to Greg Lake !!! Marillion is one of the best bands ever. Merry Christmas to all the world.

Merry x mas to you all
❤🌲🎶Thank you best band ever 🌟from Luxembourg🍀
Merry Chistmas from Italy! Greg Lake lives Forever!
WOW - Wonderful version of the best Christmas single ever by the greatest band ever.
A poem I wrote about Greg in 2002, which he kindly signed for me:
In ‘69 with Crimson, to me he was King,
Fripp asked him to play bass and wanted him to sing.
He Talked to the Wind and craved for Cat Food,
Though later got arrested for swimming in the nude.
He joined Keith and Carl at the dawn of a new decade,
So no more Epitaph or Cadence and Cascade.
His popularity soared on record and on stage,
As he sang about a Sheriff, Father Christmas and The Sage.
He’s highly skilled on guitar be it twelve strings, six or four,
No trucks full of gear, just a Persian rug on the floor.
“ Oh what a Lucky Man “ he sang to us all,
Then later: C’est La Vie, Pirates and So Far to Fall.
I’ve loved his music for so long, he feels like a friend,
For me I hope and pray his show will never end.
best band in the world plays one of the best Christmas songs, what is there not to like! brilliant

Menos la voz carraposa se puede dar por buena la versión.
Happy Christmas too you... Thanks🙏💗
Yes I totally agree no one but Lake or Wetton should ever do this song
