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.

This concert has always been very special to me, as it was the first Marillion concert I attended. Until that day I only knew Marillion from their recordings, and I was really looking forward to the show. I went with a friend of mine (who first got me into Marillion), and I remember during the train raide to Rotterdam making our own wish-list of the songs we wanted Marillion to play.

As it was my first gig, I didn't know what to expect - it was great to see a packed Ahoy going wild about all the songs. I was sitting on the 2nd ring in the back of Ahoy, and could still enjoy the energy that was generated by the band during the gig; it was the first time I saw fans 'pogo-ing' to Hooks In You! I think highlights of this concert for me were White Russian and Garden Party, which got stuck in my head on my return back home after the concert. And I was thrilled to experience the Brave songs as I missed out on the Brave tour.

It was a fantastic experience, and the gig is still printed in my brain as one of the best I have ever seen. Later, when a couple of songs were released on the Made Again album, it was great to have some sort of memento of my first Marillion gig. But it is even better to have the complete show (well, with the exception of Garden Party!), and with this Front Row Club release I hope to relive the experience of my virgin Marillion years.
