MARILLIONS SCRIPT FOR A JESTERS TEAR featuring original Drummer MICK POINTER and Friends.
EXCLUSIVE TOUR WARM UP SHOW!
In 1983 a young band from England came as a surprise to the "supposed to be dead" progressive rock scene. Marillion released their first album "Script for a Jester's Tear" rising like a phoenix from the prog ashes and soon conquering the main stages all around the world.
The press rated them as the true heirs of the Genesis Gabriel-era and the "Script" album (being their most "progressive" record) built a musical foundation that was hard to beat until today.
For the 25th anniversary, founding member Mick Pointer (the original drummer) will perform this entire legendary masterpiece, including the 20 minute epic "Grendel" that was left out on all continental dates at the early European tours! All early Marillion fans can look forward to 2 hours of an authentic early "Marillion concert"...
