Marillion - Chelsea Monday

[GiorgosThalassis1990]

Φανταστική ατμόσφαιρα...

[evianfan]

this is the music I listened to throughout my "depressed" teen years, whilst revising for O levels during the dark winter nights...takes me back to being 15/16 - now 41 & still remember how i felt at that age, when i hear this.....mind blowing brilliance

[custardypants]

Wow; listened to this song for years, watching this blew me away...such a fantastic performance with feeling.

[gsw999]

Sound Quality is mint, would have loved to have seen Marillion live with fish , without fish=gash,peace, like yes without Anderson.

[yone1968]

Recital Of The Script...amazing...i'i'm speachless

[ProgasaurusRex]

@yone1968 Check out Steve Rothery's solo on Comfortably Numb at The GranMarstonberries gig (with original bass player Diz Minnitt) - its on YouTube

[MAGNUM2F]

this song is totally and utterly fantastic. most artists today could only dream of doing summat this good!

[TheShaahin]

FISH means Marillion, Marillion means FISH.

[gollumclawtooth]

just magical

[PLASTICBRAINWAR]

OH Peter Gabrie

[TSLChip]

wunderbar

[deirfgeisllots]

Who does not like this music, does not like nothing....

[MAGNUM2F]

@deirfgeisllots he who does not like this music has either never read the lyrics or simply dosnt understand them...

[azzarhus]

Fish se inspiró en Peter Gabriel en sus performances..., genial de todas formas...

[ninfrank]

Marillion pre Kaleigh was so powerfull it could turn Goats piss into Gasoline. Such a shame they turned to what they are today.

[bjelly66]

I'll never get bored with this song!!!

[Gunsl1nger76]

such music for the soul

[tapehnamjoo]

Marillion not the same without Fish and Fish not the same without Marillion. What a shame.

[theuniqueunoriginal]

I saw them performing this song and all the others many moons ago in Portugal. It was brilliant, one of the best concerts ever! Marillion with Fish yes yes yes!

[Jyotirveda2]

Excellent!



[kokitch2000]

Great!

[skaar22493]

I'm 18 and was raised listening to the more poppy songs of the 90's but even i love this song, it sends tingles down your spine every time you here it. They don't make music like this anymore :/ Wish i had been able to see them live back when Fish was the singer, would have been amazing!

[poserpo]

i'm a massive marillion fan.

the band is very much a different band now to the band they used to be with fish.

not better or worse, just different.

this is my favourite marillion track of my favourite marillion album ever

still sends tingles down my spine when steve plays the solo......class

[Mags1464]

I bought the video of this in '82 ('83 maybe) - even before I had a video player to play it on. I'd then go to my next door neighbour's house, babysitting, and sit and watch it. It cost me £20, even then, and was one of the best things I've bought.

It was exciting and real - an escape from the mass produced pap that infested ToTP and the airwaves at the time.

They were a breath of fresh air.

[kashiv]

i have this DVD and it is my most prized possession

[MOSESCAT69]

This song take me straight back to when I was 15, am now 41. Singing this live is identical to their album, what a talent. Unfortuntately a talent not seen these days. What shame

[milkminotaur]

@MOSESCAT69 ..hahaha, i know exactly how you feel. Same age, same feelings.

[jonicharlie]

@MOSESCAT69 the big man signed my guitar a couple of weeks ago @ a gig in a wee place called kieth in northern scotland...and i can assure you..he hasn't lost an ounce of his talent..his acoustic version of kayleigh put shivers down all our spines..the mans an understated legend...!

[MOSESCAT69]

@jonicharlie Fantastic, what an fab experience for you, am jealous!!! He certainly is an understated legend, definately. Catherine x

[ecasastolosana]

@MOSESCAT69 Totally agree. With Genesis, Led Zepelin and Yes, the only bands that perform live like in studio. Amazing Steve solo.

[MOSESCAT69]

@MOSESCAT69

I don't often swear, but feck me, what a song.

[Im2seXxy4u]

Uwielbiam Marillon,mam ich super nagrania.

[66tull]

This band never got the recognition it deserved. Maybe because they were doing prog rock in the 80s when everyone else was doing syntho-pop shit.

[Pingulevski]

Still brilliant stuff. Haddington Bear is still the King! Peter Gabriel?  Who?

[angryexsplosives]

Never realised until seeing this video just how much Fish wanted to be Peter Gabriel. No disrespect marrilion make a very good early Genesis tribut band.

[SharonW64]

@angryexsplosives

No disrespect to you, either, but can't agree. I don't like Peter Gabriel, never have, never will yet I think Fish & the original Marillion are superb. No comparison to my mind.

[irideblu57]

WOWOWO :)

[irideblu57]

WOWOWO :)



[davegahan14]

capolavoro

[Tomix098]

Just amazing...

Is it yamaha SG? Does anybody know what model is it?

[MOSESCAT69]

This song sung live, is identical to the album. Fantastic, takes me back to being 15, sigh

[alexandergenov1984]

No words! Absolutely great!

[Blitzer2673]

Weltbeste Stimme, ich will wieder in diese Zeit zurück!

Fish forever....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[OPChip2008]

@Blitzer2673

...ich auch

[mrvisage]

Pure: music and art in itself. I love it ....

[fuzzilu]

They used to play in our local bikers pub The Starting Gate ... they played this song 3 times one night !!!! Oh back in the day :))))) I had a GIANT poster of the Jester. Wish I stilll had it now.

[Kevdablue1878]

fish and steve rothery...........lennon and mcartney.................fish and chips.................just meant to be together.......without them the world wouldnt be the same...................the world moves on and fish and chips is replaced by chicken korma ..........and steve rothery is replaced by Frank Usher..........progression and improvement..........its meant to be

[mccon59]

@Kevdablue1878 Rothery and chips etc but what a guitarist.

[NewWorldRob]

More ppl would like it were it Pink Floyd and its just as good as something PF wouldve done back then

[Torch6661]

Gives me chills everytime. Especially fish's cry on this live version of "What a waste!" Sounds like he's mourning the loss of this made up character

[darrenedesignedu]

peter gabriel farted and the lead singer of marillion was the stain on his underwear.

[Kevdablue1878]

@darrenedesignedu ...........gabriel wasnt good enuff to wipe Fish's arse

[brunokiske]

O melhor fase do Marillion sem duvidas nenhuma. Great song!

[bolton0001]

sweet sweet memories

[bolton0001]

what sweet memories

[cristiano7025]

legalzinho! o nome dele devia ser peter gabriel cover. particularmente ñ gosto de marilion!

[Marillionado]

Simplesmente mágico.

[runrigtam]

met the band in 86 on boxing day, i was about 8 at the time, i thought id died and gone to heaven!

[jandninyorks]

Eyup, I dont think I will ever see again a band that can perform live as well as these guys could, I went to the garden party in Milton Keyns and was blown away by the standard of their performance, fantastic.

[kjemos11]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

the band, the lyricks, and the two singers, fish, and Rothery's guitar.

Yeah, a masterpiece.

[Fergyguitar]

I worked in chelsea a few years ago, doing shifts. I used to love putting this on my Walkman and walking down a deserted Kings Road at about six in the morning in the freezing cold. I am sure passersby must have wondered why I had such a strange expression on my face. A great song of loss, waste and a lot of other things. Still powerful and Rothers guitar work is unbelievable.

[rainbowdragon131065]

On of Marillions greats 10# <3 :))

[tanukitejon]

WONDERFULLLLLL!!!!!

[mariangeorgiev1]

Steve Rothery for president

[GDBJAfan]

I'm called after this song! <33

Thnx mom and dad =D

[MAGNUM2F]

one of the best tracks on the album. never to be beaten, this album remains the best prog rock album ever!

[Nalazek1]

Był kiedys taki program w radiu. Nazywał sie Wieczór płytowy. Niedzielny wieczór i dwie płyty w całości. Tam właśnie po raz pierwszy usłyszałem głos Pana Tomasza Beksińskiego. W tym tygodniu obchodził by urodziny. Ten właśnie Człowiek spowodował , że poznałem zespół Marillion. Niezwykły dziennikarz , który prezentował i kochał niezwykła muzykę.

[hopelessanger]

Its all about fish ! Marillion are a totally different band without him.

I also think this is one of the best solos by steve this version is even better than the one in the studio version ! Amazing Marillion 

[silmaril76]

Why do i never get bored of Script for a Jesters Tear?? Everysong is a sure fire winner!! This shite today can't recite soliloquies quite like this anymore!! LOVE IT!! Always will!! Thank you Marillion for the pure Magic!!

[MsSguiar]

MASTERPIECE of MASTERPIECE ALBUM!!! Thank u guys!

[BlackkkSunrise]

This is art and is able to match Pink Floyd Gods.Awesome song,thank you for posting it.

[delpozzo]

timeless....

[68ussanesu]

questa canzone mi fa venire i brividi............stupenda!!

[cazzamcdazza]

I hope megapawnstar feels better a year on.

[lewdog19]

When I met these guys it was almost an outer body experience!Was in San Bernadino at a small movie theater that was also used for live shows.My friends and I got there about 3 hrs before the show and got to watch the sound check from the back stage door.The road manger was so cool and afterward the band had a picnic dinner out behind the theater.We waited untill they were done eating and then talked with them all and got autographs!Was such a great time!Lifetime memories!

[MOSESCAT69]

Scarboro '85. I was 15.

fond memories . Took it in turns to play ";Frankie'

and 'marillion'. Lol, fish won. And has done ever since .

[MOSESCAT69]

I am repeating myself, this song sung live is just like the album. fab x x x x x x

[stpncal]

I remember this being part of the set at Milton Kerynes in June 1986.

[Quagmagorag]

I was lucky enough to see them live over 50 times. No band has come close to Fish and the boys.

[Kageification]

I'd do fish.

[Tinselangel1]

irgendwie hat sich diesen september etwas geändert. liebe steve hogarth, aber auch fish natürlich. bin von anfang an dabei gewesen (1984). na ja hogi kann ja nicht jedem gefallen. xxx

[jaytol1]

how sweet marillion were"are" nice to know have got CD,s to hand when fed up of all the new rubbish that's out now,love this track long live marillion.

[MOSESCAT69]

This song is played and sang live just as onthe album. Bloody marvellous, that takes talent x

[wasagoodkid]

does anyone else find his first few words before 'title of the track' totally incomprehensible??...

adore this song and Fish 5*****

[hawkhandsaw]

@wasagoodkid I believe he says: "Hello, John? Did you see The Standard about 4 hours ago? They fished some chick out of The Father (The Thames River). Blonde hair, blue eyes. They said she wanted to be an actress, or something. Nobody knew where she came from; where she was going. Funny thing is she had a smile on her face. Just a smile. What a waste!" Hope that helps.

[hawkhandsaw]

@wasagoodkid Or, did you mean at the very beginning? I believe he says, "On our album known as Script for a Jester's Tear, there's a track off the second side known as "Chelsea Monday."

[wasagoodkid]

@hawkhandsaw - yes your second suggestion helps, right at the start, it seems more obvious now you told me though! thanks

[RuslanRockFan]

Chelsea Monday is my Monday!

Fish, you know, one day I’ll die,

And to God above I pray:

Let this song be my last sigh!!!

Long live Fish, long live Marillion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[traffic71]

was introduced to marillion by a new school friend in 1984. absolutely loved script for a jesters tear LP and the artwork. bought all their LP's after that until fish left. Still really enjoy their music 26 years on.

[stashyjon]

such memories of times never to be repeated

[rogerthedodger55]

Long time no hear, crumbs and to think they were a Genesis copy ! not

[Tinselangel1]

Wie gut ist dieser song. marillion ist die beste band in der rockgeschichte überhaupt. auch jetzt ohne fish sind sie noch gut, obwohl ich mehr zur fishseite gezogen bin. wer wohnt in paderborn und ist auch fish fan, und will zu einer der konzerte im november. xxx meldet euch doch xxx wäre schön xxx

[ADRIANA41476]

muito bom , amo esta banda da formação original !

[68ussanesu]

@ADRIANA41476 hai ragione la prima formazione dei marillion

[LLLLEWSEYBOB]

Remember the Great Nights At Friars Aylesbury when i was a younger Pup,never leaves you,My Beer was bouncing of the bar as the drums rolled up before assassin started,Great days

[rmohm]

Epic!

[ANDDROID]

one of if not THE best band i`ve had the pleasure of seeing live

[praetorianus72]

Probably the best frontman, after Bon Scott

[ignazioatz1]

grandi !!

[goreXP]

Just like Genesis in 5, me be better. Stunning live performance.

[tangocharly02]

que privilegiados los que vivimos los 70 y 80`s como adolescentes.Estare viejo,o ya no crean musica como esta?Quizas ambas cosas,no?

[megapowerskills]

anyone who doesnt like this song is wrong in the head

[Dennismeurders]

@megapowerskills I agree!

[fhurvhur]

@megapowerskills No, not a complete human being yet, don't eliminate youngsters.

[wasagoodkid]

From 3:19 the goosebumps cometh!

[EnricoBagnato]

HAIL Rothers!!!!!!!!

[dinandandres]

The best sound of Marillion, Progressive rock is my life......

[BitchStewey]

Curious in that they did a dope album, a coke album, an acid album, a booze album, then split up :( But seriously that SG2000 that Rothery plays is awesome, rare as rocking horse doodoo these days. Nice to see they kissed and made up at Aylesbury. A part of many peoples youth , inclusding mine. and for all the "I was there when...." brigade, if you werent at 'soap aid' I suggest you sit down and shut up

[Kevdablue1878]

@BitchStewey Got me smiling..........I 1st seen them b4 script was released.......yes i was at soap aid.....and wakefield .........and milton keynes(status quo) and many many more locations.............still go and see the big man now.............went to liverpool last week...........it all makes me feel very old but happy to still be a part of the following

[mrsix2004]

this is my favorite, I followed Genesis from 1971 til 1978. After Gabriel left, well.

This plays out about the same. Gosh, times flys, and so does great music.

Not know ing much about this group, I'd agree Fish should have stayed. But easy for us to say. I love this one. Some other songs are Genesis but it's ok.

I need to hear some new stuff, but probably won't like it. This is my type music, in the musical piece.

It's classic. great!!T

[TheJorgecarmona]

fantastico!!

[MAGNUM2F]

i couldnt believe this album when it came out. not a single mediocre track on it. every song simply a classic! ( ok then apart from garden party! )

[davegahan14]

Una delle più belle canzoni di sempre.

[nirvanadonatti]

que buena canción....

[MOSESCAT69]

I was 15, am now 40. Still has the same impact on me. Frickng classic, and this was live. Excellent

[DUCHESS3012]

One of my favourite Marillion songs of all time. One of my favourite songs of all time - forget the Marillion bit. Then again, without Fish, it wouldn't exist. Fish is a poet.

[kayleigh14927]

einfach nur schöne geile musik

die nicht so schnell oder gar nicht wieder kommt schade

[filicone]

45!!! mi faccio gli auguri con uno dei brani preferiti...

[Rhye26]

...solo, lyrics.... breathtaking !!!

[Shistermyster]

FUCKING EXCELLENT, FLAWLESS.

[newaver64]

@Shistermyster ya eh? its rare to have a live version so closley match a studio song.

[Shistermyster]

FUCKING EXCELLENT, FLAWLESS.

[ThePepperbird]

Fish -the greatest singer ever!!!!!!

[moon000child]

Great great great.

[ravinus33]

i have been bought up on marillion fucking love thier melodys fish what a voice

[rainbowdragon131065]

I will never forget seeing and hearing this song for the first time on the the very last old grey whistle test back in 1983. It blew my mind away as I was in the Army at the time and I soon got a ticket to see them at Hammersmith odean. Long live Fish.

[fellini1470]

Nawet nie wiem jak wyrazic to co czuje gdy slucham tego utworu.

Magiczna chwila to byla ... jak ja tesknie do tych czasow.

Marillion z tamtych czasow byl dla mnie i ciagle jest wszystkim.

[Rudajakherbata]

piękne, zachwycające, poruszające... uwielbiam tę piosenkę.

[maxx499]

@Rudajakherbata w pełni potwierdzam :]

[MOSESCAT69]

made me emotional at 15, still has the same effect at 40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DuaneMoore]

Sometimes five stars just aren't enough.

[iainbuckle]

@DuaneMoore About sums it up! Guitar solo sends shivers down my spine.

[splicer45]

Beautiful.if you could bottle emotion and sell it,it would sound like this!

[wasagoodkid]

@splicer45 nicely put!

[Festivum01]

When I was 14/15, during the Real to Reel-tour, my brother went to a concert. He didn't knew Marillion, and after the concert he wasn't very positive (!), now more than 25 years later it is still impossible to believe and accept his negative opinion. You can argue taste, but this is a true pity.

[grungeboy7777]

this has blown my mind

[croumouge]

Une des meilleures chansons de Marillion.Fish est incomparable.

Perfect.

[tuckerpro]

How does steve rothery manage to make that fender guitar sound like it's crying. When my head was fucked up aged 16 this song made sense..... it still does now..... AWESOME LYRICS......

[zarra666]

it's ibanez.

btw: high-gain booster + compressor

[evianfan]

@tuckerpro

So true, this sums up teen angst, mine included. REminds me of those nights aged 15 when I couldn't sleep due to the pressures of O levels and heartbreak!

[NudePanorama]

One of my fav songs by Marillion...

Thank you...

[macmaldon]

my loving letter for Bettino Craxi...

[rogml]

just perfect !

[Bhodisatvas]

fish is just an awesome lyricist :)

[sulandus]

This is AWESOME!!! I love MARILLION - FISH!!!

[Goldpen07]

love it.

[sirlonghair]

the musicality pink floyd meets the poetic doors chills frome this stuff

[luishernandez1977]

Marillion en esencia pura

[selsmeister]

Remember an older 14yo fella in my street gave me Marrillion's Fugazi to listen to - 1985 I think, amazed me then, led me to check out earleir stuff and have been an afficionado since.

This blows me away! You can take your Dead Can Dance, Interpol, Editors whatever you want - if you want deep stirring music - this is the dogs! No matter what, a Marrillion adict I will remain.

[Scoobyusa]

They were so amazing...we miss you Fish.........

[dimovski11]

Great lyrics great guitar,simply amazing

[kayah2315]

Great Poet, Great music...I love him forever

[Ischen1975]

OMG more of this wonderful poem songs, so touching feel always goosebumps with the great sound and songs off Marillion - love it for ever! Thanks for this fantastic uploads!!!

[musicmusing]

a true poet

[panospeter1986]

what a perfomance.....!!!!!! so touching ...!! i think fish is one of the best voices ever...!!

[curzond]

This is an excellent video, it's from the early days, the song was fresh. I had the VHS for years before the youtube and streaming video took off.

I saw them live once but it was from the new singer, not that good anymore.

[reetspetit]

Fortunate enough to see them play this a couple of times - (my bro' was a big fan & got me into them) Hammersmith Odeon at the end of their first 'full' UK tour, and then a short while later when they played for the 25th Anniversary of the Marquee. Great night - they came out & sat around in the bar and chatted - I sat with Fish & a couple of others for 1/2 hour and shared a few beers. Nice bloke. Awesome. 1983 seems a long time ago now ! Wish I could find some Solstice here. Equally brilliant.

[megapawnstar]

Lost my job yesterday - spending the night down memory lane. Myself, Andy, Pete and tall Duncan, 16 years old and "Ratty Carl" says "listen to this". 4 hours later I'm crying, listening to this song on Script For A Jester's Tear through headphones. Wish I was 16 again. Yesterday might start tomorrow but I'm still hoping tomorrow starts today.

Thanks Marillion for the great memories.

[ThePepperbird]

@megapawnstar Hey, I hope things have turned better for you in the meantime! Good luck.

[alexandergenov1984]

@megapawnstar well said! absolutely agree! greetings from Bulgaria! :)

[kosstsir]

@megapawnstar

no worries mate better days will come..and that's a promise!

[Pierre9347]

@megapawnstar i know what you mean. I was about 15/16 when I first heard the Script for a Jesters tear album, over 27 years ago! great memories for me too...

[victorvei]

los mejores tiempos de marillion

[pearldan]

best marillion song ever!!!

[MrAcousticovers]

Anyone has an idea of the references of Steve Rothery's guitar ? Just being curious about that ^^

[marillionforever]

Im pretty sure his guitar is an Yamaha sg 2000 78 model. I bought the same guitar in 1983 after i saw them live back in time.

[MrAcousticovers]

Cool thanks for the answer :) I wish I could play the guitar in 1983 ^^
