The Marillion Round Table

You know, Joel, at first I was a bit bummed because I was so looking forward to hearing this song. With the epics night, I knew "This Strange Engine" had to be on the list. But to see h get frustrated to the point he throws the cricket bat you start to feel a bit uneasy. When the buzz started to circulate about this, I realized that I saw something quite special that night.

The other thing I remember was watching him on that final section when he's belting out "And is true" over and over; but that last one he reared back and just gave it all he could give. That really made an impression on me. Man, that weekend was special.

Those are great clips, and, by God, isn't Rothery on fire with that solo?

I'm jealous too

I love to throw out a post, like H crowd surfing on youtub, go to work for 24 out of 36 hours and come back and see you guys take off with it.  thanks to Joel for posting it as a link as I don't know how to do that. 

Ow, after having seen that clips I just can't wait to be there at the Weekend! I've seen Marillion live before two times: at the Less is More tour and at the Somewhere Else tour. I've purchased a lot f DVD's of course, and they are great!

I can't find anything on that on the marillion.com; how much was a ticket last year, for those of you who could go? Joren

This is from what I understand, but tickets for the European weekend cost more because it includes lodging (this is assuming it's Port Zealand or any other resort-like area). In Montreal, we were on our own as far as hotels. I think tickets alone for Montreal was around $150 to $170 (approximately 105 British pounds).

I can ask my friend who attended the Marillion convention back in 2007 how much tickets cost.

I just love the ending of this song. You can see him bend his knees a bit in preparation for that last note.

Also, Lazland, I think the main reason Rothery sounds so fantastic during that particular solo is because on the studio recording he uses an e-bow, and on that particular performance he does it the old fashioned way kenmartree wrote: we should see if the band will fly Joel from Oz due to his age and impossibility of making the convention.  So Joel how old are you?  I'll send someone at Marillion.com a message.                                                                                         kenmar Thats a really generous offer, but you don't have to I wouldn't want to take money away from the band, they're not as big commercially as they used to be as we all know And apart from that, I doubt they'd ever fly me over anyhow I am 16 though, 17 in november Could you come up with your dad? How would he like it?

He nearly likes Marillion as much as I do, so thats a definite possibility, although I don't know if we'll have the time between school and work.

Does anybody have the dates for the convention? I had a look around on the Marillion forums and couldn't find much.

Just to let your all know, the latest issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog (I'll get mine tomorrow) features the band on the front cover and includes interviews with them.

I'll post the details when I have read them, but keep your eyes out for it.
