Post Description

This double live album was recorded at the final show of Fish’s Clutching at Straws/ Weltschmerz tour at the O2 in Glasgow, Scotland, on December 13, 2018. It features an entire performance of 1987’s Clutching at Straws, Fish’s fourth and final album with the band Marillion.

Clutching at the Straws was the follow-up to Marillion’s Misplaced Childhood album, which hit #1 in the UK thanks to top 5 hits “Kayleigh” and “Lavender.” Straws delved into Fish’s struggles with fame on songs like the top-10 UK hit “Incommunicado” and his difficulties with alcoholism on songs like “Sugar Mice.”

The show also features four songs from Weltschmerz, which Fish has said will be his last album. Interestingly, though, these recordings are from 2018 while the Weltschmerz album wasn’t released until 2020. However, three of the songs (“Man with a Stick,” “Waverly Steps,” “Little Man What Now”) had been previously released on Fish’s EP Parley with Angels.
