The Alan Parsons Symphonic Project "Silence And I" (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

Let's not forget the genius who wrote this magnificent song, the late Eric Woolfson. Still missed today. But, as he said "if you remember me, I am immortal"

[@MetteC5]

Thank you for this graceful comment.

[@andyparkinson7829]

If the whole world could hear just one song from the wonderful voice of Eric Woolfson, their lives would be happier 🙂

[@pisze1973]

He is immortal, so far.

[@MarkMaceTX]

Morta - death, is an illusion. Eternity is ahead for us all. Death is a new beginning and utopia is to come as promised from the highest authority. Also, more on topic. This is one of my favorite works from the collections of my favorite musicians! Haven't seen this live performance till now. Bravo

[@gazzertrn]

I know he was awesome .

[@evelynkrainer9586]

I told my son that music is the most beautiful thing that humans have ever invented…. Through this music… I know , I’m right ❤❤❤

[@samhajudge3422]

Mozart may be dead but his soul still exists within this genius named Alan Parsons

[@WilliamCamilleri]

[@letmetellyousomething123]

That's stretching the comparison to an absurd level.

[@jamesquin6783]

This piece really gave the orchestra an exercise.

[@usachristmas5433]

The problem with this song is that it ends.

[@BarryWahLee]

Forget it . So that it resonates with your subconscious and beyond. Take it home.

[@sailingschooners8668]

Yes, some songs have that eternal feeling, this is undoubtedly one of the best

[@debbiemetke5938]

Amen to that

[@ariamine]

Yes that’s the problem

[@kubilaykara3167]

Yes. But at least the taste of the delicious guitar solo at the end stays with you for the rest of the day and keeps playing in the background.

[@NilsOfTheWorld]

This song spoke to a deep part of me that I didn't even know existed

[@cliffordjamieson3112]

My favourite musician, Alan Parsons, is simply fantastic. I saw him live in Calgary last year without an orchestra, and he was very good; but, teamed with an orchestra, makes it a superior experience.

[@XXX_xxxxxxxx]

He toured Canada 🇨🇦? Sweet!☺

[@XXX_xxxxxxxx]

@Jette Jørgensen unfortunately alan had to have emergency spinal surgery on 24 june-according to his daughter his tour will be postponed 😢

[@marlosdias652]

I've always liked The Alan Parson Project's songs, but this show is sensational, especially the best known, such as "Time", "Eyes in the Sky", "La sagrada Familia" among others.

[@halwhitlock3431]

Tears...that’s all I can say.

[@Jonashall1]

It is beutiful...

[@Sam-ch9mn]

‘Discovered’ AP in the early 1980s when a mate lent me an LP. Have been a fan ever since. Sad when Eric died; such a fantastic singer and musician and AP’s right arm. This symphonic project shows the genius of that partnership. The musicianship is as good as it gets. Honey for the ears.

[@robertagrillotti5774]

[@williamhenderson2408]

One of the best bands in the world. Music is soothing and uplifting and real. 👌 🙏

[@cementkite9151]

Every one of those front musicians, guitarists, keyboard and drummer are anticipating the jam session with the incredible orchestra behind them and then when it finally kicks in they are as one and its like heaven. Orchestra and front musicians equally relish it. As we do.

[@ismailovacik7916]

[@jonashammar8907]

Cool, I had exactly the same reactions... all at once.

[@debbiemetke5938]

French horns won me over from decades ago with Parsons. I'm a trombone player. So awesome!

[@cherylholmes8677]

The Oboe is truly one of the most difficult instruments to master but each member of this Orchestra are indeed masters at their craft. And every member of The Alan Parsons Project are the best! Thanks Alan!

[@alexrios2112]

Silence and I and Far Beyond The Sun by Yngwie are my favourite songs accompanied by an orchestra. The Space by Marillion and Firth of Fifth by Genesis are closed behind. My absolute favourite Alan Parsons song ever. Elevates my feelings all the way to 11.

[@DarkAngel2010]

Beautiful! That orchestra and vocal is just Wow! Groww up with these geniuses of music

[@sandratello2505]

Maravillosos, genios!!! No me cansaré de escucharlos ni de promover a escuchar a las nuevas generaciones que fueron absorbidos por tan absurdos "ruidos" y no música. Feliz!! Desde Mendoza Argentina a todo el que esté escuchando.

Fantastic singing, powerful without any hystrionics we see from so called artists..this is true music....

[@dellerpesh1]

Questo live risolve il problema storico delle performance di alan parsons project, ossia l assenza dell orchestra, che ha sempre impedito l esecuzione dei brani dal vivo come nei dischi. Ora alan rende onore alla sua grandiosa musica. Grazie di esistere

[@k-diagnoza5211]

Браво! Боже, как повезло зрителям! Огромное спасибо звукорежиссёру! Так великолепно свести инструментовку! А как отыграла медная духовая секция! Это так восхитительно! Да весь оркестр великолепен! Ещё раз БРАВО АРР!

It doesn't get much better than this. I'm 57 and have only just discovered the Alan Parsons Project. Loved the 80s music but regret missing some of the less commercial sounds like this. Still better late than never! Will they ever tour the UK? If they do, I'll be first in the queue.

[@robj3256]

like you only discovered them late in life - 74. now played daily with several numbers on Mymix

[@CharlieBrn]

They were commercial just s a decade or so earlier. I was a kid at my first concert with a cousin who was like a big brother. I was fortunate enough to have older "kids" letting me hang out and include me to the degree you can a grade schooler. I had such an eclectic taste in music from ELO to Alan Parsons Pink to Floyd and that's before I get into all the country music I was introduced to by Dad , or Big Band & Jazz from his Dad We had a HUGE ARRAY of song writer with v such varied background an Thu technology emerging and evolving seemingly so quickly an now I look at the change of pace again. The one thing I don't like about digital is that the corporations have now found a way to keep a digital lock down on art .

[@ellenseid-schmitz1334]
