To the great delight of Alan Parsons' 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 concert was recorded on August 31st 2013 at the exotic location of the Parque Pies Descalzos in Medellín, Colombia. 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.

Great live album
Discovered the band late. Heard a few tracks back in the 70’s which appealed as soft rock tunes, then saw them perform this album live on youtube, and liked the track ‘old and wise’. Vinyl album very listenable and generally well recorded, though probably requires a good system to give of its best. Recommended for fans.

If you like Alan Parsons, you will like this.
Being live, this album is very different from other APP offerings. It's refreshing to hear songs, that are so familiar, performed live by different musicians. Well worth a listen.

Siriusly good !
Always been a fan and this CD transports you to a concert that I wish I'd been to. On the whole it keeps to the original recordings, something that other artists feel they have to change for live recordings. The recording is good, but one or two of the solo instruments seem very distant, particularly in Luciferama where the main theme is all but lost, a good job that A.P. fans will already know the tune. (Perhaps another engineer/mixer wouldn't have made the same mistake !!). Still, very pleased I found this Siriusly good CD.
