Customer Rating:      Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUMS OF ALL TIMES! Comment: I thought that no Live Prog Rock album could ever equal Genesis' "Seconds Out" until Marillion produced this amazing piece of work. The first CD draws from various "Clutching at Straws" tracks and some older songs (for example "Freaks", "Punch and Judy" and "Fugazi"). The second CD is, oh my God thank you!, the ENTIRE "Misplaced Childhood" album Live from start to finish. 40 minutes of uninterrupted breath-taking playing. Countless Live albums have been produced over the years but this one is special. It is there to remind us of everything that was good about Progressive Rock. This album is truly a masterpiece for all times!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Simply masterpiece Comment: If you grew up in 80s listening Pimk Floyd , Genesis, Dire Straights, and many others this is cd for you Fish and Marrillion is simply marvelous, here I just want to say that Marrillion without Fish simply does not exists, songs like Kally, Fugazi, White Russians and many others simply blow you away you must simply love this album besides it is live version,which is even better, this music is simply hard to come these days, I own a version that is import because it was made in Holland , and I am glad that you can still actually buy these stuff, I am kind of disapointed that Marrillion still exists and Fish is not there, so to summarize I just want to say that this a must own for any fan of Marrillion and Marrillion like.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A great gift for the first hour fans Comment: I remember those days very well, no one could hypnotised an audience as Fish. Amazing energy was cleary felt at a Marillion concert. Everybody knew the lyrics even if the latest album was out since a few weeks only.
This double cd is a pure joy to listen to, some songs are missing, but if you own "Real to reel" and "Brief encounter", I think we can say that you have all you need from the Fish era and Marillion. It is a great idea to included "Misplaced Childhood", this is one of the best album of all time for its intensity. This double cd is a must have for any Marillion fan.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Marillion worthy Comment: Ok, the cover art is silly, but the live double album is a must have. The lilting introduction of La Gaza Ladra transports you into the concert hall and takes you on a journey trhought the highlights of Marillions' Fish years. A truly great retrospective of their years together as one of the all-time great prog-rock bands.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Great Buy Comment: I been mulling over buying this live double cd for a long time. It is a little on the expensive side and even though I love Misplaced Childhood and the Fish Era of Marillion, I wasn't sure. If you are reading this review and have similar thoughts running through your head BUY THIS CD. It is amazing!!! Misplaced Childhood live by itself pays for the cost of the cd, but that is not all. CD 1 has some amazing live songs like Slainte Mhath, Jigsaw, and my favorite live song from both cds Incommunicado!
