So the earliest video that I found of Marillion was on Guilford University, on early November 1982
I've come to a post on this forum where someone stated to have earlier dated tapes, but the guy didn't upload it tought

I would be glad if someone helped me out :D

Are you looking for filmed stuff only?

Otherwise there is a lot of older audio only stuff (from '79 onwards) on YT.

earliest footage? I don't know.

I have the Recital for the Script DVD and it's great. Worth every penny.

Oldest stuff that was recorded somehow would be from '78/'79.

That would be including performances with Pointer/Irvine/Jenner/Cockel.

According to Pointer Doug Irvine took the only tape that exists of that with him

as he left the band.

The oldest footage known to the public would be demos with Doug on vocals and bass from '79 and '80

I could find the concert mentioned, however from 1982.

I think their first footage is from 1982. I mean they just put together a steady line-up and released their first EP, were playing small audiences still.

Don't know if any of you got to see the impromptu show on the YES CTTE cruise. But... Edison's Children did a quick little show of Marillion's Incubus live.

Edison's Children regulars Pete Trewavas (Edison's Children / Marillion / Transatlantic) was on bass; Lisa Wetton (John's wife) was on drums and Rick Armstrong (Neil Armstrong's son ... 1st man on the moon) was on guitar. David Hussey (not EC) filled in on lead vox.

While I couldn't find out any information about a new album, I did find out that Neil Armstrong's son is now part of Pete's "Sci-Fi" based Haunted Prog band Edison's Children. Their haunting dark sound combined with producers John Mitchell and Jakko (lead singer of King Crimson) have always caught my attention but i'm hoping that the addition of Rick Armstrong sends the band back to their 1st album, which had a really cool "alien-space" theme. It reminded me of the early themes from Saga like Images at Twilight but with a more Pink Floyd like feel to it.
