I'm partial to the Hogarth era so what do you recommend?

From Stoke Row To Ipanema (1990) DVD Hogarth voice is great...
Brave Live 2013 (2013) Blu-ray Hogarth voice not so great...

If like me you don't care for the stuff released after "Afraid Of Sunlight" (1995)...

All One Tonight - (Live at the Royal Albert Hall) .....

I'm not a Hogarth fan, but this show is outstanding. Amazon has the bluray version for $10 as I write this .......... run, don't walk. This is essential for Hogarth fans.

Never saw that concert. I'm an Hogarth fan, but I care for only a few songs on the setlist...

I’ll second this - ALL ONE TONIGHT is absolutely the best live album one could possibly imagine from any prog rock band. It’s so intense and so well captured. The “funny thing” is that I honestly haven’t listened a ton to the post-Fish albums (although I think I’ve got nearly all of them), and all of the songs here are from the Hogarth era, yet when listening to them in this setting and watching the live show it’s just something else:

Easter is one of my favorite songs by Marillion. They didn't play it on Brave Live concert (after the Brave performance).

I have the song Easter live on DVD but not on Blu-ray + not with an orchestra. So if I buy this it would be mainly for this:

Sorry for my first quick reply.

Ok, now that we got started, I made some researches... They have so many live releases that we get a little bit lost...

I might be interested by "Out Of Season". But I think it is out of print... :(

They play the whole album "Season's End".

Unfortunately the Blu-ray edition seems to be not much better than the DVD (the concert was not filmed for Blu-ray).

I revisited "Brave Live 2013" on Blu-ray:
Hogarth voice is not perfect, but very good overall. Better that than not having the real thing (overdubbed), I love this concert!

I bought "Out Of Season" on DVD:
I get "Seasons End" album in its entirety. Sound and image quality are very good. I like it!

I bought "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" Blu-ray:
I don't care for part 1 (They play the album "F E A R" in its entirety)
I agree that this is an essential Blu-ray for part 2. The songs "Easter" and "The Great Escape": Wow!

I ended up getting Live at the Royal Albert Hall and agree the second half is much better than the first.
