A relic from the early days of DVD-Audio marketing, From the Front Row Live is actually a straightforward lift from 10cc's regular King Biscuit Flour Hour live album and, aside from requiring a DVD to play it on, seems and sounds absolutely indistinguishable from its CD counterpart.

A relic from the early days of DVD-Audio marketing, From the Front Row Live is actually a straightforward lift from 10cc's regular King Biscuit Flour Hour live album and, aside from requiring a DVD to play it on, seems and sounds absolutely indistinguishable from its CD counterpart. Of course, a mid-'70s live radio broadcast tape probably isn't the ideal medium on which to experience DVD-Audio, so it's maybe unfair to castigate this release for that. But the manufacturers were surely aware of that fact too, so maybe the words "beware" should not stray too far from our lips.

But they were a sensational live act as well, and here's the proof. ~ Dave Thompson, Rovi
