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 pretty good version.
Isn’t this Michael Jordan’s favorite song?
“Silence and I” off that album is probably my favorite APP song.
Eric Woolfson (RIP) never really got the credit he deserved, he was a brilliant composer.
Coast to Coast AM bumper music.
I get them confused wit the Atlantic Rythm Section.
Was Art Bell a deist?
Is it? I thought Art Bell used "The Chase" by Giorgio Moroder?
And you didn’t ping “Sirius Lee”??

Great Minds Think Alike. That’s the first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread.
Didn’t appreciate APP as much in the day as I do now.
We shall call it- the Alan Parsons project........
Thanks
BKMRK.
Sweet song.
What a great set.
Always a disappointment when “Eye in the sky” plays on the radio without the “Sirius” preface.
That whole concert was awesome.
