  • clutching at straws is one of the greatest albums ever made...shame the album cover wasn't the one they wanted to use :(

  • Clutching at straws is in my deserted island top 10!!

  • Two people didn't understand... Too bad for them;)

  • Great song! Fish put Marillion on the map and Hogarth kept them there!

  • @kanderso2011 definetly.

  • Four great album with Fish...

  • ja de er best.marillion, is no other grup.from my younger years,and still the best band for me.!Erot Oslo!

  • Fish was excellent and so was the other guys we forget to mention

  • Ich hörte Marillion 1986 zum ersten Mal und bin ihnen seitdem verfallen.

    I was at that time circa 16 Jahre alt, aber niemals hatte mich Musik so beruehrt.

    Everytime I listen to Marillion, bin ich an meine Jugend erinnert und werde von Gefühlen geschuettelt.

    Da hilft only Beer or something like that to forget the Scheißtime.

  • I wonder if half of the audience realised they were in 5/4 time lol from 0:00 to 1:39

  • @davemartin1990 Good ear; I had to stop and count it out.

  • Comment removed

  • @VidPS Umm, yes. He's right. It IS 5/4 time. Count it.

  • i've run out of words, just magnificent!!!

  • did you upload the whole DVD???? :D

  • I am completely teetotaler and this album makes me disown myself!

  • There's nothing better than Marillion & Fish. 

  • Fish and Marillion at their best!

    unfortunately they all got 'sugar mice in the rain'

  • long live fish

  • Tessa, I love you

  • @mantra3000 it's not Tessa Nile. Tessa was with them for the winter tour

  • @Threeminutesboy Holy damn, you're right! I still love her though...

  • from my fave Fish/Marillion album. for anyone who ever liked a drink!

  • Definitely one of my all time favourite albums. I was 14 when it came out. Wow. Amazing emotional music. What is Fish wearing? He must look back with a little embarrassment!

  • @sidsmiff He's wearing his pseudo silk kimono..

  • @omni1963 Ho ho! ;)

  • Remedy for Broken heart:

    1. Pick up that glass.

    2. Summon all the answers with an ice cube chime.

    3. Take the alternate way.

    4. Listen to a lot of Fish.

    5. Get a Marillion tattoo on your heart.

    6. Clutch the short straw!

  • @worldcitizenforever Im not comparing Poison with Marillion, They´re absolutly diferent in genre of course...! Poison is Glam Rock, Marillion is Prog Rock.

  • thank for you to xxxxxxx

  • Mr janhin345, Thank you so much for posting all these HQ Marillion videos...

  • The great "Fish" merci xx

  • I am a complete teetotaler and when I need to get high, I listen to this album! There is no better band than Marillion to celebrate the down side of life! I love you Marillion!

  • Marillion, YES, Pink Floyd, Camel... Masters of Progressive Rock....! Thanks for your music and lyric.

  • @worldcitizenforever POISON is not shit... Is one of the best Glam Metal Bands ever. It is just another genre diferent from Progressive Rock of MARILLION.

  • @worldcitizenforever  you forgot Yes, Zappa, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant all the best bands!!!

  • I tried as a teen to turn on all of my friends to this "party" album. All they wanted was Poison-type party songs and considered this a boring album. Of course it helped that I was a guitar player and lyric writer. So much powder engulfed to their whole Fish-era of music. Saw them open for Rush once too. WOW!

  • I'm 41 in 5 days.....and this album in its entirety has been the influence for......and has guided, moulded & supported me through my entire alcohol infested life... all of those that have been a part of this, would see it as a bad thing... I'm grateful, it could have been far worse, I'm sitting here now.. (obviously pissed!!!).... but as the lyrics state "if you maintain this life style, you won't reach 30".... only the good die young...happy Xmas all

  • I'm 41 in 5 days..... this album in its entirety has been the influence for..and has guiding, moulding & supporting me through my entire alcohol infested life... all that have been a part of that would see this as a bad thing... It is

  • superb marillion, steve rothery is the best guitarist in the world, there up there with the beatles, pink floyd, genesis,

  • just bought the DVD from ebay,

    just had to be done

  • Great ! probably the best of Marillion's

  • j aime ce que vous faites

    bisous

  • Vive Fish!

  • It's great. Just great. It's so abstract and so real at the same time. Nowadays nothing like this music happens because we and our minds and the minds of our children are so much overwhelmed and paralyzed by the consumption society and lady gaga crap. They are squeezing everything out of us, we are enslaved, we are the slaves of the alarm clock of the capiltalist society. Long live MARILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow

  • marillion Rulz !

  • Two of the best bands of alltime... Mirillion with Fish, and marillion with H.

  • Fish is in top form here! Why were these guys not huge?

  • At their best, this band were absolute magic.

  • the same feelings from 1985... positve vibes from Rio de janeiro Brazil...

  • All of the Fish Marillion albums are pure magic from start to finish.

  • The latest live Fish solo versions of this song seem to be quite anti-climatic. I guess too much booze. Fish was so much like Roger Waters, lyrically speaking.

  • Amazing! REALLY Love it. What's the name of this concert?

  • @backbird99

    This is from the "Live from Loreley" DVD which you can get on Marillion's website.

  • mark kelly rules man

  • as previous, they did a dope album, a coke album, an acid album, and a booze album in that order. For the most part, rthey managed to be more remarkable than anything purporting to be artistry today

  • Clutching at Straws is a masterpiece, together with their first 2 albums. It's a golden prog-rock trilogy, more than just neo-prog at its best.

    And I would add B-Side Themselves to the list, because it has a bunch of little gems. Long live Marillion. Fish is one of my personal heroes.

    And this concert is stunning.

  • haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aa! Merveilleusement bon !!!

  • I wish you well.....

  • Greatest stuff ever made by Marillion

  • Marillion forever

  • it drills my heart

  • great great song...the whole album is fantastic and this band is always one of the most important of mondial scene!

  • Marillion Rulz !

  • semplicemente stupenda, semplicemente Marillion.

  • Great fucking song. Makes me cry. And I'm a very manly man.

  • What a great artist! His voice is better than all the artist from today thogether.

  • Marillion is just fucken incredible....way ahead of their time....

  • Восхитительно!

  • MY GOD... its so powerfull...

  • Ian's drumming on this is some of his most spirited, without a doubt...

  • Es como volar...es como estar con ella ...es como ser feliz...es como quisiera volver a estar.

  • How many times have I watched this concert?Hmmm... I lost tack in 1990, lol. Maybe I'll count last night as No.#1, Vol.#2.

  • Too bad Fish's voice isn't what it used to be because this would be a great reunion! But with all aging voices they eventually die out, but the musicians just keep getting better.

  • I will rather disagree about Fish, genius, poet and a rebel.

    If you will probably remember Mark Knopflrer from Dire Straights the same

    I was at his promotion of Sailing to Philadelphia in Canada.

    My huge mistake of the choice of mine to enjoy his past.

    Maybe you are right. When older, you become softer inside.

  • Yes, I agree Fish is all that you mentioned and more. I just feel that after seeing that one off reunion this year playing "Market Square Hero's" that a Marillion reunion my not be all what the fan's hope for.

  • Ive seen so many great musicians on stage.

    Intensity of their lives sooner or later is to burn them.

    And, if I may say, it is not a voice to please next user

    Creativity and search for themselves is the drive behind

    If you feel too much, you have to give Piper in the Sky his price

    And it is a high one

  • After all we're all men of straw!

  • I want the 80s back!!!! I want all the great music and musicians back.

    Beam me back, Scotty!!!

  • Ah si j'avais su + jeune je les admiraient dejà ...je me serais précipitée à l'1 de leur concert tt leur ziK me fait vibrer!!! Que du bon et cette voix ouaaafff inégalable!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Semplicemente superlativi..

  • i didn't know about marillion 6 months ago. now they're one of my favourite bands, next to rush. i wasn't even around in the 80's, but apparently, they were awesome!

  • @mullybobs Wow, exactly like me!

  • I love this album...it's so addictive! I have to listen to it every day and on my ipod at night to get me to sleep!

  • AMAZING

  • all these years later this song and the whole concert makes my hair stand up!

  • Man, This whole album deals with alcohol. When I got it in '87, I thought it was great. Now 22 years later it is a Classic...Clutching At Straws is obe of my all-time favorite albums..Peace from Los Angeles, Jamie

  • @LBjim I couldn't listen to this album for about three years because it was my favorite coke album to listen to. But after years of not using that shite it's better

    than ever before .... like the first time I listened to C.A.S on hash, ,lol.

  • @LBjim and coke.

  • They were so tight at that time of the night.

  • Why the '80s ruled. Awesome! I recommend buying the full DVD. Pure magic!

  • I had this on VHS in 1990 and wore it out then had to buy another one. Now I have it on DVD and it's looking a little tattered.

  • Until now I thought the studio version was

    the best ever piece of guitar playing, but this live version is even better.

    Many thanks for sharing.

  • Gorgeous song.

    Greetings from Hungary.

  • absolutely fantastic! I love Marillion

  • dall'italia ottimo !! stupendo !!

  • same...thanks so much for puttin these up, but where's pseudo silk kimono?

  • Love this song
