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.

 

I remember these shows were a fun time for us amongst the hard work (and often tedium) of writing 'Holidays in Eden'. During the writing process, we would play through versions of the new songs in the afternoon, and record them at night using the Moles Club as a live room for the studio upstairs. The three Christmas shows seemed like a natural progression from that stage - a way for us to get a reaction on the new material, and an excuse for everyone to have a bit of an end of year bash!

The whole time in Bath was a huge success, and the shows - as you can hear - went down well. I do remember it being bitterly cold, though (as you would expect for that time of the year!). I think everyone was amazed that we got as much gear into the club as we did.

This version of 'Splintering Heart' has always been killer in my opinion...

I remember that this gig was very small. Smaller than small. And Privet had enough sound equipment in there ti fill the Albert Hall. I also seem to recall Steve Rothery getting hit on the head - there was a pole barrier that need to be raised and lowered to get into the car park. After I had driven through, Rothery came walking by, and the barrier landed square on his head. How we laughed...
