On staday I added Marillions live album of marbles and since then i have noticed that everyone has rated it 5 stars (including me). Im a big fan of the band but i was hopping that i could get a little subjectivness on it, i mean i doubt everyone is going to share my view that its a masterpice so has anyone else heard it.

I share your view. In fact I haven't heard the CD version, but to my knowledge it's the direct soundtrack of the Marbles part of Marbles on the Road -DVD. I ordered the 2DVD version from Marillion's web site and after hearing and seeing it once I immediately ordered the studio 2CD version as well. Marbles is a fantastic album, one of the best Hogarth-era stuff. And the live versions of those songs on Marbles Live/on the Road even beat the studio versions clearly, in my opinion.

Ive never actualy heard the studio album (probably wont bother with it now) but your right, as i said in my review its the marbles section of the DVD plus Estonia and minus the banter. I was just suprised that all the reviews of it here have been 5 star

I think this is actualy one of the few live albums ever to deserve 5 stars. And the DVD is amazing. Put it on everytime I feel a litle down, and it sure helps.

It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

The DVD is one of my favs as well. Quite few good tracks missing on the Marbles live, though- well worth getting the studio for these
