Welcome to the Front Row Club!

This recording was made as a reference for ourselves while touring and as an archive of our live performance - it was never planned to be released. We have taken the original recording and 'mastered' it to provide a better sonic experience, however it has not been re-touched or overdubbed in any way. This recording is provided "as is" - warts and all - for your listening pleasure, so please keep this in mind when listening!

The Front Row Club is intended for those with "Front Row" passion for the band and it's touring history. And, of course, the future! Thank you for sharing your passion with us.

 

We had decided early on that one of the early releases from the Front Row Club should be from the marillion.com tour. Pete took away all the MiniDisc recordings of the show and listened through. However, due to popular request from members, we chose the Manchester show - which was originally looked over, as the second MiniDisc from the show was missing! Thankfully, we had a 16-track recording of the full show, and were able to provide the entire gig. The multi-track digital recording also allowed us to provide a much higher quality recording than a stereo desk tape.

The first 30 seconds (or so) from the beginning of "Go!" are missing on the first CD. This is not a mistake! The reason it is missing is that the original master recording of the show started at this point. Rather than leave the entire track off, we deceided to include exactly what was on the tape. Welcome to the First Row Club. . . 

I mixed and mastered the album at home on my Pro Tools system... it sounds fantastic!
