Shockingly, the 20th Anniversary of Marillion's album Misplaced Childhood is over twenty years ago! Anyway, FISH - Return To Childhood 20th anniversary tour of misplaced childhood [3h12m] is an odyssey, with Fish's solo career dominating the front half and a full playthrough of Misplaced Childhood and a rundown of other Marillion songs in the second half. It's a really delicious feast of this particular style of prog rock. If you're a fan of early eighties Genesis and don't know about Marillion/Fish, check this out. It's what you're looking for.
I still think the original run of 4 Marillion albums with Fish as frontman and then the first Fish solo album Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors all work together as a sort of meta-Concept Album. That might be the subject of a different post, but those four plus Vigil... closing with the love song that Fish talked about wanting to try to write on the first album? I mean, it's all a bit of a tidy bow. There are even melodic elements being reused across all four albums. anyway...Marillion: the story of their dark masterpiece, Misplaced Childhood [Louder, longread]
