RamTatTa - FISH – Return to Childhood

There was a time exactly 21 years ago when an album was released called MISPLACED CHILDHOOD, which is considered one of the top works in progressive rock history. Anyone who doesn't think of MARILLION is missing out and shouldn't immediately cry out 'Oh no!', because this album truly had something special! The live performance at that time was also a real hit as FISH, with his makeup, conquered the stages of the world with the single hits KAYLEIGH and LAVENDER. Here and there, one still heard something about the solo career of the singer FISH, but he couldn't achieve the same level of success as with the aforementioned album. To be honest, I was initially excited to hear something from the old days again, as the MARILLION album was one of the first records in my vinyl collection.

This DVD features two concerts from last year, on November 15 and 18, 2005, edited together from the PARADISO in Amsterdam. The DVD begins with a 48-year-old man coming on stage, raising his arms, and launching into the following songs: Big Wedge - Moving Targets - Brother 52 - Goldfish and Clowns - Raingods Dancing - Wake Up Call (Make it Happen) - Innocent Party - Long Cold Day – Credo - Pseudo Silk Kimono – Kayleigh – Lavender - Bitter Suite - Brief Encounter - Heart of Lothian - Waterhole (Expresso Bongo) - Lords of the Backstage - Blind Curve - Childhoods End? - White Feather – Incommunicado - Market Square Heroes - Fugazi.

As a bonus, there is an exclusive backstage interview with Fish and Jan Hotten from Classic Rock Magazine. The total running time of the DVD is just under 210 minutes. My overall impression is rather negative. The video is quite boring, and I miss the German subtitles in the interview, as I cannot understand FISH's Scottish dialect. It seems to me like an old man trying to cash in again, because catching up on 21 years and trying to replicate the emotional intensity of back then at the age of 48 is simply not feasible.

The release will be on September 15, 2006, and it will likely cost 18 euros. For those from the 80s generation, it might be a nice gift, but one shouldn't expect too much here.
