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 !
You know, the music isn't half bad but this lead singer and the cheesy, ridiculous makeup is undermining my enjoyment. I hate when Peter Gabriel did it too.
This is obviously a band influenced by early Genesis and sounds quite similar. It was good to have this kind of music instead the Genesis with Collins without Hackett.
Gabriel and Genesis split = a better Genesis. Marillion and Derek split = a Marillion w/o Derek. ;) Hogarth and Marillion = a Marillion w/ Hogarth. Enjoy it all for what it is and stop the branding. Those who pick and chose miss out on a lot of good stuff. :)
@JRBL1A1 : Gabriel and Genesis split= better Genesis? for disco music yes, not for good progressive rock. If you want to dance then Genesis without Collins is for you, if you really want Progressive then Genesis with Gabriel.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Today I have realized that I have some kind of mental disease, my friends and peers are looking ahead for a party on 31st December 2010 and I looking behind for a ONE HELL OF A GARDEN PARTY IN 1987
@RealityGamersZ or possibly it makes perfect sense to all those able to appreciate it, likely it just went over your head, maybe stick to simpler music
I so agree with what you all have to say regarding how Marillion so represented what Genesis would have been had Gabriel continued. Right down to the theatrics and makeup. What a great band....what a great frontman. Long live Fish!
Remembering this era is a gift of my generation, The music was made with so much passion and was "so us" . The kids thses days might listen to it but never hear it. those that do hear it are truly gifted..
@mirroredmoon I'm with you on that one friend. I'm so grateful to have been young when this all came out. The world was so much more modern 30 years ago, so old fashioned and dreary now. You know what I mean I'm sure.
edit: some Marillion Songs waking up memories and feelings that i can´t explain. it is like: if i hear once a year 3 or 5 Marillion songs that i like and know from the past, i have childhood memories and i feel like i am 10 or eleven years again (only 4 30 mins a year but hey ^^) AND the child that i was while watching and hearing to the VHS-Concert Tapes, UNDERSTOOD NOT A SINGLE WORD ENGLISH, felt like i was a human child on a totally different planet i saw the vid´s, & i watched it by my own
i dont know much about Marillion but there are some Songs from Marillion i really like very much.
My Father has everything from Marillion, and as a child i watched some concerts from them on VHS video (can remember it was, or it felt like late dark nights) - it was so different and fascinating what i saw and Heared on this VHS Tapes, but strange sometimes too for me.

@axzck it is funny that, cos peoples accents hardly show when singing, then when they talk the accent is really strong! like when he says 'gardan-pahrty' lol
Aunque Peter Gabriel y Phill Colins son geniales,me gustan más x separado y Marilion me gustaban más que Genesis.Lastima que ya no se pueda escuchar musica buena como esta.
This is a bloody great song, best thing they ever did IMO, he has a great voice. They were very brave to do the prog thing in the 80s, when it was so clearly out of fashion.
prima da tütt impara a scriv... taròcc... firstable please learn to write... however, to say that marillion (anyway great) are better then genesis and PINK FLOYD... Well, you are not normal... it isn't a gratulation... do you understand it, isn'it? Oh poor thing... Come on tedere, poru fiöö!!!
I absolutely agree, I am young but I must admit that it mustn't be easy to play prog rock like early genesis in the 80's... This band has to be admired. (and he's voice is really similar to gabriel's)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Stupid voice of new era...blearghs....see that eye in his clothe...subliminar message.... very dangerous....pay attention... and was a poor imitation of genesis.
You are right......but as you know, this world is just confussion, and the people prefer The Beatles over the Britney, The Rolling Stones over The back Street Boys...Ufff pal, what a crap....And the Supper over This Supper`s Copy.....What a crap What a crap......jajajaja saludos.
I detest this discussion! And I guess, that this discussion, that started so early in Marillions carreer, maybe destroyed a more creative music-bizz in the 80th!!! Nobody mourns, if one popstarlett copys the sound of another! But everybody tears out the meat of bands, that play in the similar sound of another creative band new songs, new textes! I d rather hear daily 10 Genesis-Sound-Copys, than those junk, that is played in the radio all day long
I like the fact that Marillion ripped off Genesis so blatantly. It gives hope to other imitators of prog bands. I can't see anything more grown up about Marillion's music. It is a lot less sophisticated than Genesis' music. It is good though. Good meoldies, good lyrics, even if they are a bit cheesy. But hey, so were Genesis' at times. I think some people who are comparing Genesis to Marillion are listening with their eyes.
Fish is *such* a sound to sore ears. Today's utter bogus crap like lady gaga or whatever the fuck her face is, makes me so over the top puke sick, it takes me all day to clean up.
Sure. It was just an emotional outburst on my part. I'm just so sick and tired of todays music, and how the industry works.
I also blame the young people for taking whatever is shoved in front of them face value.
When I play Marillion music, I feel so strong about this issue. All these deep poetic feelings of strength, emotion, sensations, thought, depth. I think young people don't get to enjoy that these days, because todays music has absolutely NONE of that. Zilch, nada, nothing.
Well, nothing new about most people taking the route of least resistance when it comes to music! There is plenty of music around today with those sensations you mentioned, just most people don't get to it because they don't get past what's on FM radio or they don't want to be challenged or have to think.
Anyway, good old Fish - he's always done it the way he wanted and Marillion deserved much more success than they've had - I've never understood why they weren't huge in the US.
Jeje my uncle says the same of the eighties youngers who listened this band...........He says that Genesis where the real music...and this was Light prog rock...jajajaja it is very funny...........
Well, i think that is because the ten years or more of difference.....behind the Supper`s was the Beatles and all the rockandroll thing......but behind Marillion was Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, etc etc
........It`s just a point of view.....And in the musical stetic, Marillion could be better about the variety....but the variety it`s not a point that make a band better or whorst than other...Genesis was most darker, most "agressive" at his era, just look Gabriel escene (singing the Supper`s with the wolf mask and the woman dress and you will know what i mean about his darker power and light prog eighties band)..
I think Grendel is darker, deeper, more powerful. He also used a mask. Imitation perhaps, but he's better. Deeper non-trivial poetry, more sophisticated lyrics. Compare: watch?v=qvf-I_Kzru4 which morphs into the second part watch?v=XWs2aQIiCKg Check out 4:00 onwards... It's like an adventure... And all the while with Mark Kelly's uniquely branded Marillion keyboard sounds. And then Genesis' Supper's Ready: watch?v=mTQBr9bIzJU is more like a children's show... Phil Colins confined to drums.
But the facts are the oposite.... The eigthies teens heard Marillion, not Geneis.....Like today`s teens hear Green Day and not the Death Kennedys.....It`s a cultural rule...jajajaja...With the time, our culture begin to lose his freshness and creativity.....First was Genesis...Ten years after Merillion...and now Dream teather......Can you see???? The thing goes down jejeje :)
The cinema show lyric is based on a poem of Mr T.S. Eliot "The Waste Land"....(The fire SErmon)...Read it...it`s not a trivial.. and it is so beautiful........jejejejeje but it is a litle intense for the eighties teens...jejeje..saludos!
All I can say is check out the end of Grendel when Marillion tries sadly to mimic Apocalypse in 9/8 from Supper's ready. The rhythmic accents, the chords underneath, the mask, are all a thinly veiled copy.
oops pal,,,,Are you right......i check it and it was awesome......I am hearing Marillion for the first time, and it`s ok to me...but when i hear this kind of things...it dissapointed me.....I love a lot Genesis music... and god....Grendel thing it`s a terrible copy....saludos!
I like Marillion and their song Grendel, but I just think that there are obvious similarities, That's no reason to dislike Marillion though. Both bands got inspiration from other bands. Both are great.
I've compared them: the closing section of grendel is exactly the same as apocolypse in 9/8 but without the awsome organ solo. I like both but prefer Genesis. this song kicks ass though
"Thank you Marillion, Oh what a band!"Anybody recommend something from the Steve Hogarth era band!Want to give them a chance but dont want to be put off by trying an iffy track!If ye know what i mean...?Peace Ye`all!!
Don't be put off- they are a totally different band with Hogarth, but still brilliant. Lyrically rather less cutting and a bit trippy rather than rocking.
Pure genius!

........It`s just a point of view.....And in the musical stetic, Marillion could be better about the variety....but the variety it`s not a point that make a band better or whorst than other...Genesis was most darker, most "agressive" at his era, just look Gabriel escene (singing the Supper`s with the wolf mask and the woman dress and you will know what i mean about his darker power and light prog eighties band)..

In that sense, it's like Marillion is like Genesis for grown ups.

But the facts are the oposite.... The eigthies teens heard Marillion, not Geneis.....Like today`s teens hear Green Day and not the Death Kennedys.....It`s a cultural rule...jajajaja...With the time, our culture begin to lose his freshness and creativity.....First was Genesis...Ten years after Merillion...and now Dream teather......Can you see???? The thing goes down jejeje :)

The cinema show lyric is based on a poem of Mr T.S. Eliot "The Waste Land"....(The fire SErmon)...Read it...it`s not a trivial.. and it is so beautiful........jejejejeje but it is a litle intense for the eighties teens...jejeje..saludos!

All I can say is check out the end of Grendel when Marillion tries sadly to mimic Apocalypse in 9/8 from Supper's ready. The rhythmic accents, the chords underneath, the mask, are all a thinly veiled copy.

oops pal,,,,Are you right......i check it and it was awesome......I am hearing Marillion for the first time, and it`s ok to me...but when i hear this kind of things...it dissapointed me.....I love a lot Genesis music... and god....Grendel thing it`s a terrible copy....saludos!

I like Marillion and their song Grendel, but I just think that there are obvious similarities, That's no reason to dislike Marillion though. Both bands got inspiration from other bands. Both are great.

I've compared them: the closing section of grendel is exactly the same as apocolypse in 9/8 but without the awsome organ solo. I like both but prefer Genesis. this song kicks ass though

Yes I always thought they picked up where Genesis left off (or abandoned)

im rocking im fucking so welcome awesome band died when fish left
bolton0001 3 years ago
Its I'm Rucking, not rocking.
And no, the band definitely did not die when FISH left, and to this day, create brilliant music, albeit a little less proggy.
Maybe Hogarth's Marillion is a little too poppy for prog purists and a little too proggy for pop lovers, but its brilliant none the less.
Go and listen to "Season's End" and tell me the band "died when FISH left".
Thanks for the post, 5/5 and favourited.

Don't be put off- they are a totally different band with Hogarth, but still brilliant. Lyrically rather less cutting and a bit trippy rather than rocking.

Fish was the band

Fish was great - no doubt. But don't scorn the other guys! Marillion was a BAND. Fish 'a capella' would have been less than half as nice ...

Only Fish could completely mystify his audience with such finger gestures but still entertain them.

Marillion always had a great bass in all songs. This is yet another proof. What a performance!!
CzechGuardian 3 years ago
Peter's bass lines are some of the most melodic aside from some of McCartney's.
Pure spunk, never over the top. I love the way he pulls opens up a chord to make it interesting.

"Garden Party" live is even better.
Marillion is one of the best Rock bands ever, the other one is SAGA...
