I went to see Girl at the Marquee. Marillion were Support and bought a coach load of fans in from Aylesbury. They played a blinder - then went to see them at Reading which was their big break really, I think they’d just parted ways either way originally drummer Mick Pointer which was the subject matter for the song Assasing. The misses and I are briefly visible in one of their Hammersmith Odeon Videos!

Christ, this has jogged a memory. Had to learn "3 boats down from the candy" for one of the first bands I was in. Bit out of the norm for me, Anti-Nowhere League's So What being more my style 🤣

I've always thought that the Devil played far better than the plodding pedestrian redneck Johnny.

Hmmm. 27 pages of results for a search on Marillion everywhere in the forum. I've posted a few times about them, or at least about a tribute band I was in for a while, and about the Cort GB4 Custom I bought because Pete Trewavas played one. Pete Trewavas is an excellent bassist - the whole band is great, and I prefer the 36 years of the h era to the eight years of the Fish era.

I've shifted quite a few basses in the last couple of years but only to make room for stuff that I've wanted more . Honestly thought I'd be more upset shifting some of them but as time goes on, I find myself feeling less attached, sentimentally anyways. Definitely thinking more logically, at least that's what I tell myself. Quality and value seem to be more important in my reckonings on curatong my collection these days. Most recently, the Thunderbird Studio. Had it for about 16 yrs. Never thought I'd be ok to sell it as it looked brilliant and sounded great. Only Gibson I've owned that O've actually gotten on with but given I've hardly used it at all, I found it relatively easy to sell it on last week, to make way for something else. Ditto for my Stingray 4H, both Jags, Dean Cabbie, 79 Precision, 90's Dano DC, Jackson Minion, Squier CV 50's and my 2011 Am Std Jazz (probaly a couple of more too) But they've all gone away in the last 18-24 months and made way for some stuff I have really been enjoying: EBMMDarkray, Am PRO2 Jazz, 03 Am Dlx QMT Jazz, Victor Bailey Jazz, EBMM Stingray 4HH, a 75 Musicmaster (inbound, as of yesterday) and hopefully another Am PRO 2 Jazz in the coming weeks There are always a couple that I will regret but time and GAS heals all... To quote Mr Burns: "I'd trade it all for a little more" That being said, I genuinely don't know if there is anything I now own that I'd be happy to sell 🤣🤣🤣

I saw them in portsmouth guildhall in 1983. I had no idea who they were, I just went to this house of some students that a friend knew, and they said did we want to go to see marillion. Said I had no idea who they were and they said 'oh they are sort of like genesis', so we went. They were great, nothing like genesis obviously, but it was a good gig. Liked them since then.

Love that first album, She Said She Said is a fantastic cover.

Great band, Steve Rothery is such an underrated and distinctive guitar player and Pete Trewavas has great tone, touch and note choice.

I cannot believe a search of Marillion on the forum turns up nothing other than Word Ascociation and possibly a post by @Marillionred about a gig at the Albert Hall. Currently sitting in a Café in Paris having a beer. Just spent two nights at the Paris Marillion weekender. By luck I'm in Paris for the marathon tomorrow and managed to get tickets via facebook a month ago after they'd sold out. What an awesome show. Three weeks ago I managed to see Mr Punch at Camden Underword, again Facebook fed me something on the morning of the gig. For Fish era Marillion, comoelte with theatrics, they're amazing. Seen them twice now. I turned down tickets to see Marillion in 1984! And this is the first time I've seen them. Absolutely phenomenal gig. Anyway Pete Trewavas, doesn't get a lot of mentions. Ever. And is a big influence on me. Am I the only one, or am I rubbish at the search.

Bass player Pete Hurley was in Lone Star 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I did see ultra 1 set before https://reverb.com/item/30702603-usa-fender-ultra-jazz-bass-loaded-pickguard-active-noiseless-gold-anodized You might want to contact the shop if they can arrange one for you.

Just turned up at my local club for the Red Hot Pokers. They've backed lots of famous blues players and toured as van Morrison's band. That's Marco Palladino on drums (Pino's brother). Not bad for a local club, and it's packed.

Now 'Gear4music' aren't they...?

Yesterday The Royal Blues, at The Royal George, Soho, that London. It was an open mic night, the promoter actually said we're too good for that kind of thing now, but he gave the band our first gig so we didn't mind. It filled up considerably when we were on, then was noticeably less full for the House band who finished the night off. We had a new backing vocalist. Myself and the drummer hadn't met her prior to the gig, but she nailed her parts. Gear: Korg clip on tuner ➡️ Ibanez UB804 ➡️ TC Electronics BG250 What a difference it makes being able to hear yourself 😆 Footwear: Mfre Bordo Suede Brothel Creepers.

Just rebuilt and added a few pedals to my pedalboard, My signal path: Peterson strobostomp HD MXR bass compressor MXR bass M80 DI+ Headrush MX In the FX loop Strymon bluwsky GFI system Skylar Then, because when I'm home i sometimes record using my bass into Ableton and would like to use the stereo feature in both the MX5 and the reverbs, but also like to actually hear the bass vibes, i have an Yamaha FR speaker behind me, so i then run into the Yler ABY pedal so i get 3 cables out of my board, 1 mono back to the Yamaha FR, and a y-cable stereo running to my sound card it has to be said that and i have no clue what, but there is somekinda error in my board, all the pedals work perfect when testing one by one, but when i activate the FX loop in the MX5 i get so much latency that Yousician that i normally use to play along with, regestre my notes as so late in fail the note, and i simply do not know whats wrong, it does not seem to be the cable a 2x TR jack to 1x TRS Y-cable into my Motu M2 sound card, you can't hear the latency, but you can clearly see it on the small LCD display on the M2 and see the hit registration error in Yousician, a guy from Thomann said it was because i had too many digital pedals on my board, but i don't get it, i have seen much much bigger boards that seemingly had no problems

I'm looking for a replacement for Gotch tuners (GB5) but they've stopped making them. Anyone any ideas where to get one?

Dakota. Stereos too late

I think I know this pub, played there a couple of weeks ago! The toilet proximity is a constant danger to band members.
