LIVE FROM CADOGAN HALL

Live From Cadogan Hall presents a magical Christmas concert from Marillion, the culmination of the Less Is More tour. The first half of the concert consists of a complete runthrough of the Less Is More album (minus the Cannibal Surf Babe bonus track) and the second disc presents a brace of other tracks which, like the Less Is More material, provide an interesting acoustic reinterpretation of the material. The warm live atmosphere really helps the material here, and as is so often the case with Marillion's less well-received studio albums the songs (or the reinterpretations, as is the case here) come across much better live. On the whole, I'd actually recommend this over the Less Is More studio release; I need to be in a particular mood for acoustic Marillion, but when I am in that mood this nails it.
