On the evening of August 31st, 2013, a large crowd gathered at Parque Pies Descalzos in Medellín, Colombia. When Alan Parsons appeared on stage, along with the Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra and his band the audience went wild. This is an audio visual document of that incredible evening.
THE ALAN PARSONS SYMPHONIC PROJECT “Live in Colombia” is available now on earMUSIC as DVD, Blu-ray, 2-CD digipak, 3 x Vinyl, and download.
Alan Parsons was 19 years old when he landed a job at the world famous Abbey Road Studios, an important first step on his journey to becoming a world class engineer, producer and artist. Following his beginnings with George Martin and The Beatles, his contribution to Pink Floyd’s classic ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ earned him worldwide attention. As a producer he had many hits with Pilot, John Miles, Ambrosia and Al Stewart. Together with his manager and creative partner at the time, Eric Woolfson, he developed the Alan Parsons Project.
Following their debut album “Tales Of Mystery And Imagination“ (1976), they released a series of hit albums; namely “I Robot” (1977), “Pyramid” (1978), “The Turn of a Friendly Card” (1980), “Eye in the Sky” (1982), “Ammonia Avenue” (1984), “Vulture Culture” (1985), “Stereotomy” (1986) and “Gaudi” (1987).
Then Parsons and Woolfson called it a day, but Parsons had ambitions to perform the amazing music live. Now to the great delight of his fans, for the first time on a live video and audio recording, THE ALAN PARSONS SYMPHONIC PROJECT combines the talents of his amazing band with the lush sound of a 70-piece symphony orchestra, creating a very special show with unmatched quality. Together, they revitalize hits such as “Eye In The Sky“, “Don’t Answer Me“ and “Sirius“.
The lineup consists of Alan Parsons on acoustic guitar, keys, and vocals, P.J. Olsson (lead vocals), Alastair Greene (guitar, vocals), Guy Erez (bass, vocals), Danny Thompson (drums, vocals), Tom Brooks (keyboards, vocals) und Todd Cooper (saxophone, guitar, percussion, vocals). Alejandro Posada conducts the Medellin Philharmonic Orchestra

Got to shake the man's hand after a show one night and thank him for his much underappreciated contribution to music.
The man is brilliant and doesn't get the praise he deserves.
I believe he produced Dark Side of The Moon , So that's the proof.
Ah, but don't forget the other half of APP: the late great Eric Wolfson (so?).
agreed.
He is praised by the right public, like us , that is it!
Agreed. What a talent.
They say that Alan Parsons is underrated... I dont't know... look at this... the man is there playing and it's 2023 an ppl continues listening.
100%
You have to remember, he’s primarily an engineer/producer/songwriter.. not a vocalist. He is underrated by those that only know this song, or Time, or Sirius… not necessarily the artists he’s produced like Floyd, Al Stewart (he wrote Year of the Cat), Ambrosia.. and when he was just starting out he worked on Abbey Road.
And we will. keep their music alive
Because its fantastic music. Love it
I have been listening for many years, and always will!❤❤❤
Is it me or does it seem like their music was 50 years ahead of it's self? Not what you would expect in that era. Incredible music, honor brite.
Reminiscent of Pink Floyd only better!
This was 1980 so more like 40
@@Luke-1296 I'm sticking with 50 years ahead of their time. I don't think we've caught up to it yet.
@@Luke-1296 ... I think around 1983 before "music video television MTV!" So 30 years but ... a little behind the late 1970s or end 1979's "Roller Disco Era" this music style would have been. It's an active hard rock to Disco tune made for people listening to music and rollerskate (or would be nice dancer or ice skater's choice music)!
Lo que sabía y tenía en su cabeza Alan, no lo tuvo nadie jamás. Genio visionario.
Can I just say that the drummer is absolutely sick?
You can
Yes but he already saw a doctor.
He's sick best drummer I ever herd
Yeah he ain’t bullshittin’.
The whole "The turn of a friendly card" should be in everyone's album collection
I agree
Every guitar solo in every Parsons' Project song was always a delight to hear.
And remember Eric Woolfson!
Rob if you like the guitar solos , don't know if you heard this one.. Look up the vid APP Live from Madrid 2004.. The solo has a great supprise at the end of it.. One of my favs!!!!
Cómo podríamos olvidarlo! Yo escucho Time cantada por él también. Su trabajo también fue grande. 💕 💕
And how about that Sax solo in “Don’t Answer Me” from this same performance! Even in this song.
RIP Eric Woolfson... he passed away long before I had ever heard of the Alan Parsons Project, and yet it still saddens me to think of such a great singer being gone from this world forever. Still, I'm happy that his spirit lives on in me and anyone else who has ever listened to one of his songs and liked it
Today,s "music" cant stand beside this masterpiece!
I agree!!
Amen!
😁😁😁😁👍👍👍🐌
A treasure
Al right eighties was awesome
this is what being good at music means
LIVE and still sound fantastic.. Love Alan Parsons!! Here in 2023:)
I'm an old guy now and this is my first time watching and listening to this genius masterpiece. I've always been a huge fan of Alan Parsons Project from the beginning and this brought me to 😢 it was so damn amazing 👏👏👏
Timeless Alan Parsons
The Alan Parsons Project and the Moody Blues are FANTASTIC bands and their music never get old!!!
OMG, my husband's favorite music for his funeral 10 years ago. Fun dreams as I float. Still have kitty Cosmo. I've had a lot of deaths within a month. Grandma, uncle & 2 friends from school. I'm 50 now & crap life changes so fast.
That orchestra and sax, wow. I love this!!!!
Miss these times when music was real!!!
Why is this performer not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?
TRRHOF is a joke, most of the performers they nominate do not even play Rock music, it's whoever sells the most records.
@@alcahallic4526Sadly true. There are a few exceptions, but not many.
No respectable musician gives a damn about the RRHOF.😂
When this came out, I only had AM radio to listen to, and this was one of the first songs I truly fell in love with. What a masterpiece. The station was the 50,000 watt blow-torch the Big 89, WLS.
Chicago!
I used to listen to John Records Landecker WLS Chicago down in Augusta Georgia. Could pick it up on AM at night. Great music, better times back then.
So glad to be of this musical generation, timeless brilliance
The drummer is killin' it!
I love it when a composer/producer (Alan) steps back and lets the more accomplished musicians take over. Mr. Alan Parson's is indeed a class act.
You know who else does that? Steven Wilson.
And Mr. Elvin Bishop!
Alan Parsons is a musical genius! Working at Abbey Road with the Beatles at the age of 18! Just wow!
That drummer is a MONSTER. Love watching him work!!!!!!!!!
agreed
Growing up with this group was priceless!!! Still listening to it to this day and forevermore!!!
Way ahead of its time, looking back one of the pioneers of electronic orchestral music. The 1982 album by this band is one of my treasured collectors special. Nothing beats this, eye in the sky, I wouldn't want to be like you. 40 years on this is still the future.
One of the best yet most underrated artists of all time
One of worlds greatest bands combined with an outstanding orchestra. Chills.
This is R-E-A-L music!!!👍👌🤗👊🥰❤️
The sax and guitar fabulous combination with orchestral backing is so different from the dross of most of today's music....
Good lord, that drummer does not know halfway!!! Talk about energy!!!
More suitable for Cradle of Filth
@@Kaleiddmode do you know what a shit pig is??
Yeah he's awesome
One of the best groups ever
Great tunes from the greatest era in rock and roll. So glad and proud to have enjoyed this growing up in the 80's.
👏👏👏👏👏👏Hey it's Alan Parsons, of course 👏👏👏👏
Loved his music for40 years. BUCKET LIST!!
Love the energy of the band, and the audience! I would be right there with them dancing and jumping up and down!!!
It cant be better...❤❤❤❤❤love .
I would have paid big money to have seen this concert. Love The Alan Parsons Project Band.
A most underrated group of my generation, this tune stands the test of time
It really does, and I am living proof of that -- a Gen Z teen who listens to APP on a daily basis :)
I was about to say same. Born in mid 90s and till today I listen to APP! The true art and music def from 80s
They are NOT underrated. They have sold 55 millions of records and people still attend their concerts. I wouldn't call that being underrated. 🙄
He just makes it look SOOOOO damn easy!
Not the song I was looking for, didn't realise there could be more than one song with same title. Doesn't matter! Means I found another song to enjoy!
You were looking for the Spinners? Both great and different songs ;)
@@JojoseahorseAnd Joe South too. He was a country/rock singer in the 1970s.
Even as a full-blown Maiden/ Slayer "no-other-music-will-do" fan in my teenage years, I knew this song was a masterpiece. And yes, it still is.
cool that you'd say that.
Absolutely fantastic 🤟🤟🤟🤟
What a performance! Such energy, precision and passion from all. Bravo!!
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a bad joke when a legend like Alan Parsons is not in it. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've enjoyed his music since the '70s, and this is the first time I've seen them play. Not unlike ELO, it takes an entire orchestra to make that sound.
What pure talent
OMG, I have played the guitar for many years, and if i was ever given the opportunity to play with one band, It would be this band Alan Parsouns Project, WOW Wow, unbelievable sound, the band and the symphony behind you..OMG, for a musician, this is the ultimate..Unbeleivable!!!
Look at that drummer go and bang away!!!!
This is a great band.
So much wonderful music for so many decades
I never get tired of listening to this song or this version of it. Love it
Symphonic Rock is a beautiful thing!
Thank god for Alan Parsons keeps you sane
They got my praise straight up fantastic band & orchestra gives me goosebumps good vibes
Gold. Just Gold!!
The best! Each player and singer perform perfect.
Will You Listen to those Great Voices !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF
AMAZING!!! MARAAAVILHOSO!!!!!!
No sé si existe otro tipo de música distinto al Pop que logré esta felicidad. Seguramente existe, pero es extraordinario ver a estos adultos pasándola tan bien!!
Freaking amazing!
So wonderful.
Wow had no idea they had played in my native country.
Im sure those people there that night never forgot this.
Thanx Alan & Project. 💛💙❤️
Love this one. That guitar player is the shiz.

Totally freakin' AWESOME
One of the truly great songs by one of the truly great bands with symphonic backup: well played!
different drummer
Great music 🎵🎶 here 🌎🌎😇there✌️🎼🎸🎹🎷🥁🧭 moon 🌝 and ⭐🎻
I last saw the Project in 1978 and seeing this is simply WOW!
Seen a lot of 70's/80's bands concerts over the last 15 years. Saw Air Supply back in Oct. Very good show with lots of energy, like this one. And great arrangements/modifications to the songs that meld seamlessly and don't seem any different than what you heard on the radio 40+ years ago. Very few bands have the power to do that. And IMHO, Alan Parsons & Level 42 stand alone in that class.
Alan Parsons Project a Great band love it...... fr philippines 💥💥💥
ME LLENAS EL ALMA DE MÚSICA ALANNN PARSONS PROJETTT GENIALIDAD TOTALLL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
