The album is awesome, but save yourself some money...

"... and get more music! Go to www.marillion.com and treat yourself to a DOUBLE album which will end up costing you less than this single album. How's that? ;)"
For all the Freaks, don't be Separated Out

"A new live album in the shops! Marillion are a band that like to entertain and with this album they do that. From the opening sample of "Separated Out" to the closing note of "Easter" Marillion are giving us a great show. Included are a nice collection of songs from the last studio album. Some of these songs, I now prefer over their studio incarnation. The energy trasferred by the audience augments the vibe, particularly on "Quartz."
Sorry to dissappoint anybody expecting "Kayleigh," "Lavendar," or any songs of the Fish era. This collection is all h. And h gives his all, IMO.
I have this retail version as well as the double disc version available only from Marillion themselves. For the causual listener, this collection will serve you well. For the true die-hard, you should already have your double disc version on the way.
Recommmended listening strategy for this I'm gonna swipe from the "Brave" liner notes. Play it LOUD with the lights off."
