Great Britain

It was the night a dream became reality - when two years of motorway madness, greasy spoon meals and interminable club gigs suddenly all seemed worthwhile. Hammersmith Odeon - the oft-sought but seldom-attained aim of every rock band. A capacity audience hanging on to every note and a massive stage for Marillion to present their stunning visual theatrics in spectacular style. Powerful, dramatic music: provocative lyrics and superlative musicianship. A night to remember - for Marillion to savour with understandable relish as a major milestone in their career. Keith Goodwin
