The setlist he used in May was:Big WedgeMoving TargetsBrother 52NumbersThe Pilgrim's AddressInnocent PartyLong Cold DayFamily BusinessGoldfish and ClownsCredoMisplaced ChildhoodMarket Square HeroesA pretty good set I think, especially as Misplaced is 45 minutes long ! You certainly always get your money's worth at a Fish concert, if the vocals are a bit dodgy the banters superb.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Wait a minute' date=' are Marillion not just a crap version of Genesis?[/quote']Nope, they sound very little alike except for one song called Grendel that Marillion haven't played since 1983, and the fact Fish wore make up on stage ala Peter Gabriel. It was typical lazy journalism, they were the same genre, but so were bands like Pallas, Pendragon etc. I'm not sure how anyone can hear anything of Genesis in latter day Marillion, tho Fish was asked to join Genesis when Phil Collins left, he refused.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are as much of Yes and Van De Graff Generator as Genesis. Bearing in mnind I'm not a huge fan of early Genesis, but after tthe comparisons I tried to like them but couldnt.Tony Banks and Peter Gabriel have both said that they dont see the similarities after the first album and Tony even featured Fish on 2 of his solo albums. I'd say that DD's vocals are possibly the most Genesisy thing about them.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluesxman Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I thought the G albums were 7?No idea, it's not something I would be looking for, someone else made a comment about Genesis albums in the FOPP bargain rail and that's what I referred to. 7 quid ain't the bargain rail to me. On that note, I see that FOPP have mysteriously repriced the Interpol Antics CD at 10 quid after it was on the fiver rack for ages. Cynical pricing following the festivals?

He certainly was a couple of years ago, and is 72 now, so should hopefully have a few years left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
