[dxbfreemind]

E P I C

[RakkmUp]

God I miss this kind of talent!

[MrEuronymus]

Probably my favorite song , after Lavender , so clear , so full f surprise , Best song ever seen live <3 Fish was so cool here !

[Gettotaco]

It really is hard to believe this is live but that's what ya got when you got Fish and Marillion!

[cfwbdude]

Pure class band, they did great music.

[handsomebrick]

Marillion and Rush briefly toured together sometime in the early 80s. Can you imagine going to see that?

[Captainjaq]

@handsomebrick

the first time Marillion came to America was a guest of Rush - THAT would have been EPIC!

[maciaswolfgang]

excelentisimo video,y sobre todo la musica y letra

.

[SalemTheSalem]

The best 80's prog band. PERIOD

[IlariaM]

Fish's performance is mesmerizing here

[IlariaM]

amazing

[renumeratedfrog]

It's hard to believe this is live.. So clear and full of power...

[ProgasaurusRex]

@renumeratedfrog - Check out The GranMarstonberries - Steve Rothery and original bass player Diz Minnitt - awesome version of Comfortably Numb. Its on YouTube.

[MrGravito]

Sublime Bouffon!!!

[zbigniew787]

42 fools escaped from Paradise. Now, all they can do is to look over their shoulders and cry...

[yone1968]

Quelle chanson extraordinaire...quel album extraordinaire...quel show extrordinaire (Recital of the Script)...Marillion,mon groupe préféré pendant la période avec Fish...Mais qui ont sortie aussi de tres bons albums avec Steve Hogarth...Seasons end...Marble...Brave.What a incredible song...album and show...My favorite group whit Fish...But theres a great albums with Steve Hogarth...Seasons end....Marble....Brave!!!!

[therealficolley]

I remember seeing this tour. Too many years ago at Hammersmith Odeon. I was already hooked. They were magnificent. The best live band I have ever seen. No Fish/ No Marillion. I don't care how long the other bloke's been their lead singer.

[paullavan2011]

Without Fish?

[MrKunik69]

It's a pity that such a theatrical performances almost died, I always waited for moment from 5:45' , this is like the final.

I remember Tomasz Beksinski (polish music journalist) , his lirycs translactions into polish language 80' -90' s , I aware that Tomasz introduce many people into the world of good music. He learned to listen to it. A good Man. Thank you T. God Bless You.

[ajittffcure]

Such an emotional and theatrical performance. I was wondering whether this song was in a way connected to Fish's personal experience?

[TheMorfred]

@ajittffcure They all are.

[franciscomartincl]

6:12

[GeflipteVlaflap]

My boyfriend is named after this song. ^^

[RetroArcadia]

@GeflipteVlaflap your boyfriends name is Jester?? lol

[GeflipteVlaflap]

@RetroArcadia

Yes. ^^

His parents are die hards when it comes to Fish.

His mother told me they were inspired by this song when they gave him his name, so I was curious. ^^

[MAGNUM2F]

simply stunning! best thing these lads ever did! the lyrics are genius...

[therealficolley]

I abandoned Marillion post Fish. I keep being told , "but they're great".. Not for me. Not without the hottest thing to come out of Dalkeith.

[jonicharlie]

fish signed my brand nu ibanez a cupla weeks ago..! an he was such a cool dude..! a legend...! asked him if he would be marilion again..he said.. as long as the other guys ego's deflate a bit...!! wouldn't that be cool....!

[paullavan2011]

Ozzy = Sabbath

Fish = Marillion

Accept no substitutes.

[indianrunner70]

@paullavan2011

....same with Genesis..best british band form 70-75, then Peter Gabriel left. Genesis turned into a pure pop band with Steve Hackett left in 77, sad but true.

[reetspetit]

Hammersmith Odeon, April 1983, at the end of the UK Script tour. First time I saw them. Forget all the comparisons. They were damn entertaining and we had a great night. I got my moneys worth !

[Goldie71]

promised wedding now, a wake.

[MetalJassim]

Great song for sure, but I like today's Marillion more... and I've been listening to them nearly from day one. H is simply the better singer...

[kashiv]

For 42 people... the game is really over

[RitaJustino30]

Fish is Marillion, without Fish is not the same

[zbigniew787]

I am getting addicted to this clip... And I think I'm not alone...

[MrGravito]

The game is over?

[MrGravito]

Not to late to say"I LOVE YOU"',my Dear!

[MrGravito]

The game is ... over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrGravito]

@MrGravito NO!!!

[MrGravito]

What about Sir Fish ?

[MrGravito]

sublimes les "blancs psychos "de ce sublime morçeau d'anthologie!

[MrGravito]

Emotional poetic le bouffon!

[MrGravito]

sublime,le Bouffon !

[MrGravito]

bande de bouffons!!!

[margrave42]

I'm losing on the swings...

[maximilian40]

Mitico Fish....

[taoart71]

Fish Forever, Excelent, this song is a icon

[valrhooona]

NO emotional suicide again ;-)))))))

[DrChebutykin]

It's great to watch this old stuff, too. Thanks.

[Bindura123]

Wonderful man!! Thanks!!! Takes me back to GSA days

[Bindura123]

Wonderful man!! Thanks!!!

[davylar1]

too late to say i love you wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooo­oooooo yes man

[strumfellow]

I say good luck to the existing line up of marillion but its not the marillion i enjoy listening to.i gave them a fair hearing and as much as they can retain the sound the songwritting isnt quite there which i guess is what made this band the way it was in the original line up

[serjitdha]

Slashed wrists, raped and forlon, Fugazi, forgotten sons. MOTHER FUCKER GROUP SHOULD BE FORGOTTEN.

And yet I will reminisce to the years gone by to know one day I will have an EPITAPH to my love.

[MAGNUM2F]

go fish go. looking forward to sept when you come to Orkney. tremendous songwriting. NOTHING compares to this debut LP and never will....

[deirfgeisllots]

Unfortunately, Bands like Marillion don´t have the Radio stations to play their music und so they ar not known to the world - how it should be. A shame.

Thanks, Fish and Marillion for great music!

[youngpink01]

Thanks for post :)

[fyforpokker]

brilliant music,u will never know,justin fag bieber...

[ThePaul1616]

What a great song, sung with such feeling.

[witheredheath909]

Fish is amazing...

[traptfan777]

Wow that song is awesome!!!

[fadelzuhair]

wow, cool song and amazing lyrics I ever heard

[FrozenRoads]

What an absolutely awesome song, it it really that long ago that this song came out? OMG, I love it! Those are the good songs from the old days :-)

[hanszimmerfan1412]

I love marillion with fish and without fish. Steve hogarth has a beautiful voice and he is avery good muscian, like fish If for some reason people think marillion is trash without fish then that's becasue u haven't heard steve enough

[Silmarillion1973]

@hanszimmerfan1412 Well said.

[dufortrph]

Band sounds SO tight on this recording -- love it.

[BernardoScheibel]

There´s no Marilion without fish!!

[BroadswordTULL]

@BernardoScheibel and there's no fish without chips.

[JoeDay2000]

@BernardoScheibel Damn straight!! Off to see the man himself on saturday!

[HatHare89]

Something smells fishy.

[MegaAveNocturna]

Dios, gracias por crear esta banda.

[Stormyeyes66]

OMG this song brings back so many memories from pleasant times past when I used to be free and happy. Back in the days when I could point my car and drive anywhere instead now I am in my own prison. I miss this band and forgot how much until now. My old friend Jeff got me into them when I was 20. Good times.

[brunokiske]

Musica muito bonita, tem um arranjo muito bacana. Marillion and Fish forever.

[deanopatty123]

most underrated guitarist of all time, Steve Rothery is a hero!

[renumeratedfrog]

Marillion ceased to exist after Fish left it... Sorry, but it's a sad fact.

[plasticPlaystation]

@renumeratedfrog The world ceased to have hope after people like you came to Earth... Sorry, this is the only fact.

[treintaydiez]

indeed....

[hewey999]

@renumeratedfrog I totally agree...the same with Gabriel & Genesis..

[MrGravito]

@renumeratedfrog Tristement exact, mec!

[JSJMK4]

i bought the DVD of this gig for my dad for Christmas just got around to watching, turns out he was there, i'm so jealous i love marillion and i'm only 16.

[InsaneShannon]

@JSJMK4 That's cool, I love them and I'm only 14

[OldFerg]

Big Man playing Perth soon, gonna bring back some memories.

[gabbycanale]

De Venezuela...Marillion es y por siempre sera lo mejor!!!!

[rocana714]

BRUTAL DESPUES DE TODOS ESTOS ANOS VIAJO CON LA VOZ DE FISH PODEROSA Y FIRME.......SUBLIME MALODIA DE UN GUERRERO

[patamatat]

Simply amazing. Even this many years later

[KOSTAS311070]

@patamatat Like jesterday you mean!

[tapehnamjoo]

By far their best. Too bad that the game is over.

[ThephantomShitter]

This album was my teens. Saw every album tour with Fish on vocals, Miss his voice. Never really got into the new line up, But still a great band.

[spankydaley]

ahhhh, memories. Brings back a few. Grendel's all round, Christmas tours and exhibition centres, Race tracks, football grounds and rugby. Isn't it?

[djdjany]

One real good band making good music between all that 80s crap !!!!!

[klnine]

BRILLIANT

[geronimo1208]

[fhurvhur]

True fine art., nothing else.

[deathincarnification]

[GuCaRix]

Great music, great voice, great lyrics, great show! Marillion AND Fish. This is still one of my favorite songs and I listen this CD almost every day!

[christina1171ify]

[pleia1704]

Oh my god... Marillion was my sweet sixteen and much more!!! Always there when I'm down!!

Fish is such the one for that band!!!

Miss that sweet 16' and fish in Marillion' and else!!

Life is totally fugazi

[45rusher]

[sabine4404]

Love those guys

I grew up on their music and stil loving it after 28 years

[NicolettaHavana]

I cannot imagine my life without Marillion and Fish. He's voice is with me in every important moments in my life ... no, in every moment in my life! he always know what to sing, he's telling what I'm feeling, he knows myself at all, it's a magic, it's a dream. it's a other world ... thank's for the visits in poland. we love Fish here very very much:)

[kReatifProduction]

EPIC. That is one the greatest prog song ever written. Masterpiece.

[rocana714]

Błazeńskie łzy!

A w sercu tyle trucizny...

[pinolinopinin]

Search in youtube: Marillion - Script for a Jester's tear with Lyrics ...and enjoy it !!

[tacomadc]

The filled the prog gap when Genesis went pop, and did a damned fine job of it.

[BashaVic]

I love this band - so many fantastic memories & Fish was just so gorgeous .

Saw them 3 times in Cardiff they were amazing every time. Even got some old cine footage!! My mother would know if I was down 'cos I'd listen to GRENDEL lol

WOW Those were the days.......

[maldon40]

@malthuswasright - yeah why not better than those bands you've quoted.

[tiesauto]

best live performance ever

[malthuswasright]

@tiesauto Really??? Better than Zeppelin live? Or the Stones? Or Thin Lizzy? It's good, but it's not THAT good.

[GuiKern]

Great lyric....great everything! This is truly poetry.

[everton619]

Possibly the greatest ever Live Performance of all time, only 16, but I can quite safelt say this is the only performance that will send shivers up my spine everytime I see it :)

[TheWolfsDen617]

what album is this on?

[newaver64]

@TheWolfsDen617 script for a jesters tear.

i remember it new.lol

[Shind4Tenshi]

if i ever decided to kill myself i think this would be the song i would listen first...it makes me cry every time i listen to it

[progrockr616]

Marillion with Fish were superb - just like Genesis with Gabriel

[jimbronxny]

reminds me very much of early Genesis

[Eloi248]

@jimbronxny

Absolut korrekt!

[MaceIII]

A true masterpiece.

[unai214]

es lo maximo,deberian existir emisoras de radio que se dedicaran a este tipo de musica y no solo lo comercial

[henklardee]

O o o o fantastisch!!!

[TheCrazydeal]

its hard to say with tears in my eyes but - Fish you have nothing to proove anymore.

You are A Legend! Let us all remeber you from the 80's.

The game is over!

[renumeratedfrog]

@TheCrazydeal I agree... It's funny how bands and their singers try to compete as to who is "truly" responsible for their sound. None of them seem to realize that it's a collective effort.

[MrGravito]

@TheCrazydeal SIR FISH is a legend!

[TheCrazydeal]

its hard to say with tears in my eyes but - Fish you have nothing to proove anymore.

You are A Legend! Let us all remeber you from the 80's.

The game is over!

[TheCrazydeal]

Its hard to say with tears in my eyes but - Fish you have nothing to proove anymore! You are A Legend and it is better to remember you and your music from the 80's.

The game is over!

[TheTonyj30]

there is no god.but if there was, fish with marillion would be him ! So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown

In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song

[TheTonyj30]

there is no god.but if there was, fish with marillion would be him !

[plasticPlaystation]

: )

[TheAjja33]

c'est trop bon ça me rapelle mes 18 ans lol super fisch et compagnie

[TheAjja33]

c'est trop bon ça me rapelle mes 18 ans lol

[Davicin030]

Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play

The game is over, the game is over

Brilliant, I love this song (L)

[ladyjawz]

Power and Passion this song ROCKS

[nearlycouldntbarsed]

Just loving it!

[BluJugganaut]

Great performance, and the band is still going strong to this day. Fantastic music spanning their career.



[ivar14]

Well, considering how many time he´s performed this song, I guess it´s no wonder he may actually be quite sick of it...

Still a kick ass opus though, and will always be :D

[nek1107]

power song......

[tutaffka]

sam sex

[brandynose]

Saw him in Québec city and said he can't sign this song anymore... His voice has change.... Too bad...

[henklef]

god bless Fish!!



[pelle9114]

Marillion - Geneisis ! Es paßt!

[pelle9114]

Marillion war Klasse! Auch nach dem Ausstieg von Fish! Wenn ich mir dieses Video hier anschaue, wird immer wieder deutlich, warum Marillion als "kleine Genesis-Band" bezeichnet werden. Fish stylt sich fast so wie früher Peter Gabriel, Keyboad-Station like Tony Banks, Musik nicht unähnlich. Ich mag beide Bands:-) Genesis aber bissele mehr *smile*

[Mryoda33444]

PLEASE READ! it's not a good idea to go to biebers video & click the dislike button cause every time we go to his video he gets payed a few cents cause his vid's sponsered. Instead we pick songs like this & get as many people as we can to watch so by the 1st of march on biebers birthday all rock videos will be most viewed on youtubes charts. this will get the younger audience to listen to good music & might have good rock bands form again. (COPY&PASTE&THUMBS UP!)

[MrHellstorm]

@Mryoda33444 Can anybody explain me who the fuck is Justine Beiber and why in hell should I read like 102783532659329572375965077846­27129294866436249806506 comments about how everyone should hate her in every rock vid I like?

[dudu1125]

@MrHellstorm just forget her

[Mryoda33444]

@MrHellstorm You don't wan't to know who is he...

[jagtastic1971]

The classic line up , Mick Pointer on drums..they just didn`t sound the same after this, not better or worse , just not the same ,, cheers mick

[fugazi1966]

BEST LYRICS EVER

The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry

Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why?

As you grow up and leave the playground

Where you kissed your prince and found your frog

Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tears

So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown

In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song

Has gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the game

But the game is over

[GayFoxxx]

@fugazi1966 thats absolut right !

[pinolinopinin]

@fugazi1966 Search in youtube: Marillion - Script for a Jester's tear with Lyrics ...and enjoy

[yuanvill]

@fugazi1966 So agree, have loved this song ever since the first time I heard the album in 1984.

Thet are brilliant lyrics written by a brilliant lyrisist.

[ClaimhSolais]

So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts

One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned

Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride

Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play

Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday

I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts

I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts

Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play, the game is over

The game is over

[Kevdablue1878]

marillion without fish is like a fish without water...........takes me back to when i LOVED music...........they all complimented each other in their day , but their day wained and ended as it does in many great relationships, luckily Fish found himself someone to fill the void in Frank Usher.some one to inspire him to many more great songs. Still great to this day!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClaimhSolais]

33 people listen to EMO RAP. Long live Fish! The HEART of Marillion!

[mrmattc1978]

Wow , They rocked back then, Fish wow, I just found out about em, now i feel like i've been missing out all theses years, I dig alot of music, this blows me away! just goes to show how non of the good stuff is heard in America !

[newaver64]

this would have been awesome to see.

i listen to this and its one of my favs....80s!

[TartanBear]

So I'll hold my peace forever, when you wear your bridal gown - in the silence of my shame, the mute that sang the siren's song, has gone solo in the game - BUT THE GAME IS OVER.

Lyrics I think he only bettered in Three Boats Down from the Candy - another classic. Fish we love you big man!!
