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

A pair of head phones with Alan Parsons Project playing will carry you into another dimension. Nothing like it.

Literally the best bass player gig is with The Alan Parsons Project bar none!

[SusieRed]

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.

[EliseSwansborough]

[thelazarous]

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

[kimberlyjones]

Alan Parsons a legend you grew up in the 70's you were listening to the Alan Parsons Project but raw talent

[EliseSwansborough]

one of those times when it ALL comes together to render “perfection”. love this!

[stevehoogenakker]

It's just SO tight. No extra strumming, just individual instruments you can hear so well.

The Best Music in All of History was done in the 70s and this group leads the pack

[janineking]

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

[CarolStanhope]

Still fresh after all these years! This music transcends time.😎🌠

[SuperPhester]

Amazing!!! 40 years later and The Music still sounds as good, or better than it did 40 years ago!!!

[KD-whky]

[johncopple]

Just returning to Alan Parsons Project. After decades away. How!??! Could I Forget!
Amazing!!!

[rdandlong]

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.

[PhillyGirl-ptvq]

Fantastic! Great vocalist too! 🥰❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[t.g.]

Masterpiece.... One of the best songs all times... And the drummer.... Awesome 💪👌👍

[ptah]

[davidrobinson]

Alastair Greene is the lead guitarist and singer in this one, he sang and performed for the Alan Parsons project often when they were touring. I think he was very good at it!

[cristianodimatteo]
