Marillion - A Piss up in a Brewery

About This Movie

So, this one is an interesting piece in the Marillion collection. It's a live performance recorded back in 2000, but it didn’t hit the DVD shelves until later. The whole vibe is pretty intimate, especially with the setting in the Bass Museum – it feels like you’re right there, part of the audience. The setlist features some solid tracks like 'Sympathy' and 'How Will You Go,' and there's this lovely addition of Stephanie Sobey-Jones on cello, which adds a unique texture to the sound. You can really catch the essence of their live energy, and the pacing flows nicely across the set. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, mostly known among die-hard fans, not something you see pop up often in collections.

This performance was originally an online webcast, which adds a layer of scarcity to it, especially since it was only available on DVD for a limited time. There's a certain charm to it being a live recording, capturing the band in a raw moment. Collectors tend to seek it out for its unique context and the emotional depth of the performance. It's definitely not an everyday find, which makes it appealing for those who appreciate the band’s live dynamics.
