Years ago, in the 90's, I was driving home and there was an announcement that Fish would be playing at a local pub. I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and apartheid had just ended. We were starved of international acts, and very few local people knew who Marillion was. Even though I thought I had misheard, a friend of mine and I went down to the pub and bought a drink. The band playing was a local band, and there were no signs advertising a massive star was playing that night, so we thought I'd heard wrong, but decided to finish our drinks. We got chatting to a couple of Scottish guys sharing our table - they wanted to know all the essential tourist venues in Cape Town. After about forty minutes, they stood up and said "well, got to go sing for our supper". That's when I realised we'd been talking to Fish and his guitarist. There were about 200 people, maximum, in Bertie's Landing, and we heard Fish sing all the great Marillion songs. My friend and I could not believe our luck.
i ja dopiero dziś...w 2021 tutaj trafiłam !!! cóż za fenomenalne wykonanie...w zwykłych gaciach i jakimś tam tshircie... wyłazi taki FISH i rozwala system, śpiewa bez fajerwerków, gołych dup... deszcz, parasole i Lavender... I.O.U. for this song
Whenever you´re feeling sad and think your hopes are gone, remember to watch this video to warm your heart and carry on. Is good to be alive to hear Fish and the beauty of his music.
Saw him 2 years ago in Nürnberg Hirsch... Was a awesome experience... Then he and his band played misplaced childhood... And all the crowd is going mad... Best concert ever... Thnx Derrek
I listen to this, with tears in my eyes. This is music, which you activate and you realize, how your mind and personality are put together. If you can not appreciate this, you are a poor person. This is timeless and divine.
Emozione intensa , gocce che scendono dagli occhi...grazie, consolazione in questa cloaca di musica del terzo millennio e guerre e paesi che non fanno nulla per rendere lieve le vite. Non possono che scendere lacrime dagli occhi...
You can hear in his voice he was starting to struggle and that it was damaged by then, which is probably the cruelest joke to one of the greatest singer/songriters who ever lived. Robin Mickey and Stevie look like babies there! so young!
One of the most wonderful songs ever written. I think in a few more years this mans words will be studied at university like Shakespear....Genius! Thank's for some great memories sir.
Ich bedaure die Menschen, die Fish und seine Songs nicht kennen oder nicht verstehen. Unglaublich Amazing Poet Handmade Höre seine Musik seit zig Jahren. Bin immer wieder aufs neue begeistert. Fantastische Version. Nur Fredy Mercury hatte aus meiner Sicht eine vergleichbare Aura.
schließe ich mich zu 100% an einfach großartig Mein erstes Konzert war Marillion. Ich war 11 Jahre alt😁 heute 47 🤣 Mein großer Bruder hat mich mit genommen Seither bin ich total begeistert von FISH
Er war einer der Besten. Ja, ich bedaure auch die Menschen, die ohne seine Musik leben müssen. Wir hatten das Glück, ihn viele Jahre begleiten zu dürfen bei The Compan, Germany. Eine unfassbar gute Zeit!🙋♂️🙆♀️😻
I do believe in years to come fish will be lauded as one of the greatest poets of our time, and that mesmerizing stage presence. He's holding the audience hearts in his hands. Simply the best.
This song still cause my heart to ache....20 years and 4 children was not enough for her....no longer did we dance with love or passion...just simple need was no longer enough...I sent the Orchestra on their way...now Lavender still causes hope....and perhaps a new dance partner, or perhaps the music will be playing to an empty dance hall forevermore.
Lucky enough to have worked a few gigs with him on the Vigil Tour in 90.. Sound Musician and one GREAT album,,,, not a bad note anywhere on that gem! Thanks for the memories DWD!.... Great memories in particular of the homecoming show at the RAH!!!!
Je n'ai pas de mots pour decrire cette merveilleuse chanson, elle me prend les tripes au plus profond, et cette voix sublime qui a bercé déjà mon plus jeune âge, J'adore; Love you for ever
Possibly the best youtube video ever. I caught fish ye know years after in Whelan's in dublin a few years back. He managed to hug the whole crowd, apart from me. Love. K
Cada vez hay menos romanticos, genios del pasado, musica especial para los oidos que trankiliza y hace la sensatez en los humanos. Belleza musical= ARTE.
This is a nice story. Thank you. I grew up in East Germany. In 1988 Marillion was there for the first time and I couldn't see them. I was in Berlin, but with the Army and was not allowed to see it. I never was at a Fish gig. But Marillion with Hogarth sometimes. I´m at Marillion Fanclub Germany and I´m looking forward to the new, last Fish Album. Hope you was here on YT last weekend to the Couch Convention.
Kind of looks like he would kick your head in just for looking at him and then comes out with amazing songs like that, I love it when you get that, I've had friends over the years that could make people cross the street to avoid them, all Mohicans piercings and tattoos lol, but they were some of the nicest people I've ever known, don't judge the book by the cover. This song was played at a recent funeral, that was a bit emotional.
je t'aime Fish tu seras pour moi le plus grand avec Peter Gabriel ton petit père si la nostalgie existe c'est en t"écoutant et refaisant les lives que j'ai pu voir avec Marillion ou avec toi Fish à jamais dans mon âme dans mon cœur

how boring you are, teach the material part brevity sister of talent fool
That's quite a story to tell.
appartheid never ended. you cant change humans! fact!!!
so you did not recognize him apparently.
@@incheolshin43 I'd never seen a picture, just listened to the music.
Fish's creations are so intimate that it feels like you're listening to a lifelong friend sing. Thank you for your beautiful poetry
A Scottish Poet. Thanks Fish. You are the best
If
Of the 66 years on this planet and a music freak and I’ve only just discovered fish and marillion I’m ashamed what a voice simply the best ever ❤️
chills to the soul
i ja dopiero dziś...w 2021 tutaj trafiłam !!! cóż za fenomenalne wykonanie...w zwykłych gaciach i jakimś tam tshircie... wyłazi taki FISH i rozwala system, śpiewa bez fajerwerków, gołych dup... deszcz, parasole i Lavender... I.O.U.
for this song
Byłem na tym koncercie w Przemyślu, magiczny występ...
mam tak samo tylko ,sluchałem Merilion 35 lat temu i nic się nie zmieniło najlepszy wykonawca ,polski Collage wtedy dawał radę w tym nurcie.
Tylko jest nas mało niestety.
@teraz.wiem.ile.jeszcze.nie... Identyczny set zagrał wtedy z Zabrzu, tylko było pod dachem ;)
@@marekpyziak8557 Był jeszcze magiczny Abraxas i Albion z Anią Batko.
Still great in 2023.
Fish is one of a kind. Just fantastic. ❤👍
Que música maravillosa!! Que bien les haría a los jóvenes del 2023 escuchar estás joyas de ayer, música exquisita!!! 😀😀❤️
I believe there will never be enough words to describe and thank this immense musical genius, Fish is absolutely special!
💗
@@siggiiie6769❤❤❤❤😂
i discoverd Marillion some 40 years ago, Fish is still amazing and i like his voice and songs
Whenever you´re feeling sad and think your hopes are gone, remember to watch this video to warm your heart and carry on. Is good to be alive to hear Fish and the beauty of his music.
Fish in Poland, incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw him 2 years ago in Nürnberg Hirsch... Was a awesome experience... Then he and his band played misplaced childhood... And all the crowd is going mad... Best concert ever... Thnx Derrek
Still can understand why everytime i come along to Marillion and Fish music i stuck.Have to listen again and again and again enjoing everytime!!
I remember when A Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors came out. This song is simply devastating. Such a great album, such a great ballad.
Fish, this is.
Fantastic
A Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors is better than virtually every Marillion record after Fish.
Gänsehaut pur. Für mich Kulturerbe. Könnte ich täglich hören ohne Ende.
Agree...... 🙏🎶🎶
Un Genio absoluto Fish
He could be the most and BEST song writer! Unnoticed, but yet the best! Love it!
Agreed
really? he did not write these songs alone.
MemoryLaneCinema I thought he wrote all the lyrics for Marillion??
Amen!!!!!!!
unnoticed ??? ey hello ? Marillion is and was one of the best bands ever, so pointless
I listen to this, with tears in my eyes. This is music, which you activate and you realize, how your mind and personality are put together. If you can not appreciate this, you are a poor person. This is timeless and divine.
me 2
Same goes for me. I listen to this song with tears in my eyes.
Well said, couldn't agree more.
Brilliant songs!
Emozione intensa , gocce che scendono dagli occhi...grazie, consolazione in questa cloaca di musica del terzo millennio e guerre e paesi che non fanno nulla per rendere lieve le vite. Non possono che scendere lacrime dagli occhi...
Ma quanto meravigliosa è???? Emozioni immense
...i dziękuję na końcu! 12 minut czystej magii!

Just two beautiful songs sung perfectly

yes it should be the right thing
@@tonykinsella2105 but even that..., i guess it was a better generation than this one? or am i simply "old fashioned"?
is that John Beck on key
@@akirasaw I think so
you say the truth dude
Brilliant love this 😍
Fish writes the most beautiful lyrics
Ich bedaure die Menschen, die Fish und seine Songs nicht kennen oder nicht verstehen.
Unglaublich
Amazing
Poet
Handmade
Höre seine Musik seit zig Jahren. Bin immer wieder aufs neue begeistert.
Fantastische Version.
Nur Fredy Mercury hatte aus meiner Sicht eine vergleichbare Aura.
schließe ich mich zu 100% an
einfach großartig
Mein erstes Konzert war Marillion. Ich war 11 Jahre alt😁 heute 47 🤣
Mein großer Bruder hat mich mit genommen
Seither bin ich total begeistert von FISH
Er war einer der Besten. Ja, ich bedaure auch die Menschen, die ohne seine Musik leben müssen.
Wir hatten das Glück, ihn viele Jahre begleiten zu dürfen bei The Compan, Germany. Eine unfassbar gute Zeit!🙋♂️🙆♀️😻
Goosebumps at the transition to Lavender, just wow.
Thank you Fish, from Rosario, Argentina. We miss you.
New album coming soon...!
10.X.1997 rynek w Przemyślu, ale wtedy padało 🙂
To już 26 lat temu, pamiętam ten koncert, chyba najlepszy koncert jaki odbył się do tej pory w Przemyślu.
Legend ❤😭Miss much in the world music!!
I do believe in years to come fish will be lauded as one of the greatest poets of our time, and that mesmerizing stage presence. He's holding the audience hearts in his hands. Simply the best.
What an incredible performance... the way the rain dies down right at the second Gentleman's Excuse Me ends... pure magic.
Wonderful souvenirs, So emotional and few words of an exceptional poetic performer. Thx for all Fish
I saw Fish around this time in the States, and he was incredible. So glad I got to see both him and Marillion live at least once.
Absolutly great version of both songs!

🇵🇱 Masterpiece 🇵🇱.

And the most beautiful of all: 'Blue angel'. Tnx.
This is a truly beautiful song.
Oh my god what a version. Amazing.
legendary. This is a universal love song
I was learning English by his songs ) They were difficult to understand but served as a great basis for the learning. Nice lyrics and beautiful music!
Awesome! Tks 4 sharing🎺🎻💽🎹
This song still cause my heart to ache....20 years and 4 children was not enough for her....no longer did we dance with love or passion...just simple need was no longer enough...I sent the Orchestra on their way...now Lavender still causes hope....and perhaps a new dance partner, or perhaps the music will be playing to an empty dance hall forevermore.
we can cry together
The way the two songs dovetail together so beautifully.....I have had to step aside again...after two years the Orchestra finally faded away.
sorry...............hope it got better,,,,,,,,,,,,same boat as well...be strong my friend
@@jestermindcrime1773 I hope you're okay too, it's always going to get better. Stay Strong.
Uf this hit me, thank you

Possibly the best youtube video ever. I caught fish ye know years after in Whelan's in dublin a few years back. He managed to hug the whole crowd, apart from me. Love. K
Just stunning, worthy of notice in any music genre, I love this song,
Lavenders is one of the most beautyfull song ever, as well as The Perceptions of Johnny Punter. Thanks Derek !
Es de las mejores rolas que e escuchado en toda mi vida , y recuerfo cuando los vi en el auditorio nacional aki en mex
Suberb Lavender version. Awsome guitar solo
Amazing and exciting songs and a super amazing guitar solo with all the right vibes in the back!
Wow, such beautiful versions of these classics. ❤️
I miss this!😪
Pure beauty, what a lyricist!!
Qué maravilla de tema
Fish = Gênio
Merci👍👍✌✌
A classic in my eyes.

This was my answer to Shaun Shelly.
fair move Steve Hogarth! for playing the piano on this video :-)

Great live
