The Alan Parsons Symphonic Project "The Turn of A Friendly Card (Part Two)" (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

One of my Favorite albums of all time.

[@robvisser6343]

This man's music is so well put together that he was always years ahead of the rest. What an amazing musician.

[@bbatman601]

Actually the songwriting was mostly Eric Woolfson's, don't forget that! Alan produced everything, played and composed a few songs. They decided to name the project APP because Alan was more popular then. I'm not underestimating Alan but remember about Woolfson, he was an outstanding composer and singer, but he's not with us anymore :(

[@aldo2708]

WOOLFSON was the genius of the band He composed 95% of the music, 100 % of the lyrics, singer of the greatest songs, having that typical APP-signature voice, being the manager of the APP, playing keyboard on many songs, its incredible how talented this man was!!! Yet so Unknown ...

APP was so far ahead of everyone else especially using the orchestra and synthesizers. Absolutely under rated group. The best sound ever!

Thank you Eric Woolfson. Thank you Alan Parsons. For make this possible.

[@aldo2708]

Quote from the APP website : " Eric Woolfson was the main songwriter and lyricist for the APP writing 95% of the music and 100% of the lyrics. He also sang lead vocal on many of the APP’s greatest hits including ‘Eye in the Sky’, ‘Time’ and ‘Don’t Answer Me’. He played keyboards on practically every APP track recorded. He was also the manager of the APP and handled all the business side. It was his decision to call it ‘The Alan Parsons Project’ - a choice he often described as both the best and worst in his career. The best because he got to enjoy the success of his work without any of the fame. The worst in that generally no one outside the music industry had a clue who he was! "

Alan was never the vocalist in the group. He didn't sing any of their hits. So why should he start now?

"Carta afortunada" , vaya que si es épica y simbólica esta melodía (THE TURN OF A FRIENDLY CARD) de este album de 1980 , toda una gran nostalgia en el azahar y quizás por lo que se ha perdido, cuando nos vemos solos porque nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo ha perdido... Saludos desde MEXICO...

Why are people so obsessed with how few/many views (or how many dislikes it gets) a video has? As if more views makes the music sounds better.

Eric Woolfson wrote so many wonderful pieces of music, he will never be forgotten. His collaboration with Alan allowed both of them to achieve the best results. In this song, I don't like Paul Olsson's vocals though, he never convinced me.

PJ Olsson is very good. But, sorry, Eric Woolfson still THE BEST. Don't mean, that PJ vad. He's really good. But, for me, for "The turn....." song he's not as good as Eric was.
