In what will be another radio first, Absolute Radio will be making an exclusive gig with the legend that is Elton John, available on-demand to stream in, high definition audio – ‘Full HD’ from www.absoluteradio.co.uk on December 25, 2010.

The gig which was held and recorded in the beautiful acoustics of The Union Chapel in Islington, London on November 25, 2010 and will be streamed at www.absoluteradio.co.uk using a linear equivalent lossless audio technology.

The gig will be the first piece of audio that we will record and stream in ‘Full HD’ which uses a Fully Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) meaning no quality is lost at all – Absolute Radio is the first UK radio station to do this!

We’re very happy about this but it seems Sir Elton John is too saying: “For every artist sound quality is so important and when recording a live gig I don’t want to lose any quality at all. I want Absolute Radio listeners to feel like they are actually watching me perform live – full HD is definitely the way forward!”
