Covers have never really done a thing for me. I'm so glad Marillion didn't do anything like that at this convention.

Glad you liked the review. The memories are still too fresh. Best weekend of my life.

Understandable. If you go to http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57150 and scroll through my review, I give a set list from each night.

I ordered the new Wishing Tree on Saturday or Sunday of last week and it arrived yesterday. Wasn't expecting it that quickly, but I'm not complaining. Big smileWill this be your first Marillion DVD?E


Yep, my first ever!

Well, apart from "Something Else", which I don't think really counts


What surprised me about the Somwhere In London DVD was the performance of "The Release". Absolutely stunning version.

The additional performances ("Ocean Cloud" included) and the live gig at the Racket Club are also very cool. I'd love to take a tour of that place. I talked to a guy at the convention who doesn't live too far from it in Aylesbury. He's driven by, but has never been invited in.

This Strange Convention is from the 2007 European convention. Of course, it's got This Strange Engine in its entirety, but also has the Friends and Family performances from the audio CD's. The Friends portion is all cover tunes (not a fan, but they do a great version of Crowded House's "She Goes On"), plus their rarities and b-sides ("Holloway Girl", "The Release", "I Will Walk On Water", etc.). The Family section is a set list hand picked by Marillion and is a collection of their favorite songs to play live. In my opinion, it's a great DVD. Anytime you get to witness a live version of "This Strange Engine" in any setting, it's worth getting.

Some consider this to be their best set list; however, I find night 2 from this past convention hard to beat (this will be released later on this year). Cannot wait until this comes out!

Thanks, I think I'll get Marbles on the Road next...

The closest thing I've ever seen to Marillion live is videos on youtube, so I can hardly wait for this to arrive!

Man, it's going to blow your head apart. Absolutely stellar DVD. See what you think and then go after Marbles On The Road.

This Strange Convention is pretty good, too. I've only watched it once, but they pack a lot in there. Just too bad Wish You Were Here is out of print.
