if you don't like it don't go, surely the man deserves to make money

Saw the 3 guys yesterday in Berne-Switzerland and they delivered an excellent performance. Great gig, great interplay, funny storytelling, they played 50% requests. Fish still has such a presence on stage, awesome!

Saw Marillion more than one year ago during their "Less is more" tour and it was plain boring, btw. also an acoustic gig. "less is more" was very true for Fish's gig.

You can't judge acoustic gigs in general, just be ready to hear different approaches to well known songs...

As a lifelong US fish fan, its funny to see the complaints about an acoustic tour. An act like this is lucky to get in front of an audience at all in this economy so and acoustic set is a viable alternative to doing nothing at all especially fi the audiences are averaging 300 people. Saw Fish live once in 97 in Boston and Providence MA and the crowds were 400 in clubs there..not viable to do sustained tours. Be lucky he continues as long as he can with your support there,

[superatticman]

Just my opinion. But once you start playing acoustic sets then its time to call it a day. By far the best Marillion experience is courtesy of tribute act Stillmarillion.

@superatticman Did you express this to Dave Gilmour when he did acoustic shows ?

I've seen every tour since internal exile and been a committed fan. thirteenth star tour was 500% better. When i saw it was an acoustic tour (especially as the ticket design was the same as the communion CD) i assumed that would be the standard the audience could expect. I am a huge fan and feel this performance didn't deliver anything like the quality i have seen many times before! RE: £15 ticket price i don't think i have ever paid over £20 for a fish ticket and thats with full line up.

[AlanPCalloway]

No No No. This tour is nothing other than a money making spin. I have religiously watched Fish since 1989 and this is the most disappointing thing i have ever seen. £15 quid to watch an open mic night!!!! shame on Fish after 2 such amazing tours. i'd rather watch Hogarth or pointer's recent effort than see this tour again...I LEFT EARLY!!!

@AlanPCalloway

I don't think so.

I saw one of thes concerts. It was in front of 300 people.

No chance to make money I think-

It was great and I'm glad to have the chance to se fish so near an this great concert.

We paid about 20 Euro, there were 300 people, you never pay the location and the crew (and fish) with 6.000 Euros !

[MRMOORS1]

@AlanPCalloway I agree with Hawke 1972. I am playing in a band as well, and there is no way paying the crew with that money. It was just something different and more intimate for Fish to do. I was there, and it was

fantastic, he even played songs as requests.

Thank you for posting, fish is the best

FISH's voice has continued to improve throughout this tour, great to see the big man enjoying himself again !!!,

Looking forward to more in 2011 !!

@RPZ501 Yeah, now it's time to join back Marillion to play classics with the original line-up and to bridge the space from where "Clutching at straws" has stopped....
