The Alan Parsons Symphonic Project "Sirius" - "Eye In The Sky" (Live in Colombia)
Youtube ^ | 31 Aug, 2013 | The Alan Parsons Project

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

Well, they're not too bad ...

But they're not The Randy Disher Project.

Not mentioned in the article was "Eve", an Alan Parsons Project album from 1979 that was my favorite of all the APP albums.

Contained the Top 40 hit "Damned If I Do" and the album itself was a concept of how difficult and complicated women could be.

Bumper music are the songs played between segments, not theme songs. Art Bell has been gone for several years. George Nobody’s bumper music library is extensive.

This is the first time I have heard the whole song IN DECADES. ONE TIME I heard it played all the way through on WLS AM, wow, late 70s, early 80s.
It was always the shortened version after that. Great song! Thanks for putting this up; I never would’ve thought to look for it.
