The Alan Parsons Symphonic Project "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" (Live in Colombia)

THE ALAN PARSONS SYMPHONIC PROJECT “LIVE IN COLOMBIA” - AVAILABLE AS DVD, BLU-RAY, 2-CD DIGIPAK, 3 VINYL GATEFOLD AND DIGITAL
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

The drum Line, the bass line, the keyboard. This is how you know Alan Parsons was a sound engineering master

[@matthewbailey8588]

He helped write or produce back in the day, not sure which though

[@patmcpee]

@emma. Though I kinda agree, I mean, that is one large feather to have in your cap! I’d bet that millions more (in his pocket!) have heard the sporting event (and Chicago Bulls theme song) anthem “Serious.” It’s been played a gazillion times. And heard by so many more. I’ll take this, (Day After Day) The Show Must Go On and Time though. They do it for me! And check this out…I wonder if Alan was tipping his hat to Pink Floyd when writing a song with the same name as the gem off of Dark Side with “Time.”

The Alan Parsons Project is the only group I listen to where I don't skip any of their "okay" songs to get to the good ones. They're ALL brilliant.

One thing I like about this concert ( and I absolutely loved this concert) is that Alan shows off all the talent in the musicians on stage with him. None are in the background. I really like Alastair's voice on this track

One of several "under-rated" groups of it's time. Deserves much more credit than it has gotten over the years. But I got to see him live before. Awesome performance.

Alan Parsons Project debuted their "The Raven" and "I wouldn't Want To Be Like You" back in the 1970s preceding Pink Floyd's total songs albums "Animals" and "The Wall!" 1975-1979 (also my high school years) I really lived when rock music artists knew how to do it! 👍
