Notes
In the 10 years or so I have been trading I get asked for this show more often than any other, but being stuck on VHS tape I have let a lot of people down. I did have another copy on DVD but I remember that this copy was better quality. Having a few days spare I decided to move the show to DVD. I added a simple menu and a background image borrowed from a fellow trader (thanks matey) and here you are, your chance to relive that sunny Summer afternoon from 1986. It was a perfect day when everything just came together, well apart from the hours it took to get home as the M1 was shut.
It seems wrong to be negative on my own release but I am going to. When I got this show on Video back in 2001 I was very disappointed. Not from the trader as or the unknown Gen quality but the way it was filmed.
This Marillion gig as far as I know was the biggest headline show Marillion of any era ever played and I had hoped that I would be able to watch this Video and bring back all the memories of a great day. Once you start to watch this DVD you will see that the taper recorded most of the show "down the front" as we used to call it and for a large part of the recording you can see arms and heads taking up most of the screen. The taper I am sure did the best job they could and I do not want to disresprect them but compared to other shows from the same time this could be seen as a let down, especially with the great memories that all the fans have of this Concert. Please be aware of this before judging the quality.
No official recording audio or video exists of this event even with big video screens on all day and all the other bands being recorded and played on the Friday night rock show with the legend that was the late great Tommy Vance. Back in Summer 1986 and hearing the supports bands being played each week I called up the BBC to ask when Marillion were going to be on. I got through to the BBC reception and ask for the Rock show. They put me through to the production team (That would never happen these days). I asked when Marillion were going to be on and the man on the phone said and I quote "Marillion declined to be recorded". Who or why this happened is anyone guess, I just hope that someone had the sense to leave the tapes running and took them back to the BBC. Maybe one day we might learn what realy happened, or if it was unofficially recorded these tapes may surface.
