“Marillion Weekends” are a series of shows the UK rock giants MARILLION have been doing for the last two decades, three shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at different parts of the world each. While a 2019 Marillion Weekend recording already was released on DVD/Blu Ray, now it has surfaced the standalone audio / digital download version of one of these shows titled ”Distant Lights; Leicester”.
This release is of special interest as that night – Friday 26th, April 2019 – Marillion made a journey through the first 4 albums of Steve Hogarth as the lead vocalist of Marillion from 1989 to 1995, performing songs from 1989’s Seasons End, 1991’s Holidays in Eden, 1994’s Brave, and 1995’s Afraid of Sunlight.
It’s a real pleasure to listen to these songs live just like the band feel ’em right now. The sound quality is crystal clear, as usual with Marillion standards.
Great stuff.
