I was lost in late teenage nostalgia listening to this this evening whilst washing up. It brought back so many memories of A levels, field trips in Wales, Genesis, Motley Crue and Supper's Nearly Ready.
Sadly, when I saw Marillion at Hammersmith Odeon a coupel of years after this, whenever anyone shouted out a request for Grendel, Fish said "No, we're not playing no fucking Grendel"...
This is a bloody corker, too.

Marillion, the true inheritors of Peter Gabriel's Genesis. I first saw them as the opening act at an open air festival outside Leeds back in '81. It was before they even had a record deal. The following two acts were quite disappointing in comparison. To fill in the curious, Jethro Tull were the headline. Heady days, indeed. | ||

Wow. That reminds me of a wild Hawkwind concert I saw in the mid-80s - there was a guy there with a Peter Gabriel Genesis-era haircut. Not a look most people would choose for themselves, really. The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation - Pierre Trudeau | ||

Not many people really cared who was on stage by the end. The whole thing was sponsored by Theakston's Brewery !!! | ||

Ah, Theakstons - now that also takes me back - I haven't had a pint of Old Peculiar in goodness knows how long! I haven't seen Jethro Tull live, and I'd have loved to. The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation - Pierre Trudeau | ||

With a pint of Old Peculiar? (Old Peculiar's nickname is 'Lunatics Broth' - an appropriate name) |
