Hope you'll find it and like it.

If you can't find I can prepare a cd for you to discover this band. I'm a big fan since 1984 have seen them 14 times live a very long story between me and them

Easter is a great track and one of the few solos I bothered to learn note for note.

MFreak I was thinking about doing the M weekend thing but backed out, now if I'd known a forumite was gonna be there too...

Rob, if you want to get a good taste of Marillion get the most recent album, Marbles...

Still a Clutching At Straws fan though

SteveK

The warm web circles arpeggio sounds fnatstic on my ASS with position2 pickup

Misplaced knock me down back in 85. Clutching was even better !!!

Still remember them with Queen in summer 86 was such a great concert

I'm more of a Fish-era Marillion fan so most of my fav's are from that period.

Here's some of Rothery's finest solos, in no real order:

1) the intro to "That Time of the Night" right after "Warm Wet Circles" on the Clutching at Straws album... the part over the pulsating bass and drums.

2) Chelsea Monday from the Script for a Jester's Tear album

3) "The Web" from Script for a Jester's Tear

4) the live version of "Cinderella Search" on the Real to Reel album

5) the opening solo from "Vocal Under a Bloodlight", part of "Blind Curve" on the Misplaced Childhood disc

6) "Sugar Mice" has a great solo.. Clutching at Straws album

7) the cacaphony at the beginning of "Hotel Hobbies" on Clutching at Straws

8) the intro to "King of Sunset Town" from the Season's End album

9) of course "Kayleigh" from Misplaced Childhood

10) "Season's End" from Season's End.

Wow.. so much great Rothery.. so hard to choose!

Yes, too bad the studio version from "B'sides Themselves" doesn't have a solo. The solo on the live version of "Cinderella Search" is really fun to play. In fact, I was just playing it last night at band practice with my bass player.
