Marillion

In July 1987, Marillion was riding high on the success of their album 'Misplaced Childhood,' which had been released just a year earlier and marked a pivotal moment in their career. It not only reached the top of the UK Albums Chart but also solidified Marillion's place in the progressive rock scene. The live recording at the Freilichtbühne Loreley captures the band's electric performance during this peak period, showcasing hits like 'Kayleigh' and 'Lavender.' Interestingly, this concert was part of an extensive European tour which helped them gain a loyal following. It’s fascinating how this live album encapsulates the emotional and musical evolution of Marillion, reflecting the band's dynamic style and their ability to connect with fans in a profound way. From the haunting melodies to their theatrical stage presence, this recording remains a cherished piece of Marillion's legacy.
