This Performance By the Alan Parsons Symphonic Project is One of the Greatest Live Moments In Rock
In 2013, when Alan Parsons stepped onto the Columbia stage with his renowned 'symphonic rock project,' audience members were unprepared for the spectacular display about to unfold before them. Performing twenty-one of his greatest hits, Parsons and his musicians captivated the crowd from start to finish, as their distinctive style of grand yet surprising progressive rock echoed throughout the venue. Not shockingly, this live recording has attracted more than 55 million viewers online.
From the beginning, it was clear Parsons would deliver an exceptional show. The remarkable footage of the band playing 'Sirius' and 'Eye in the Sky' during the Columbia concert proves this point. Parsons delivers vocals with perfect clarity, his band performs flawlessly, and the 70-piece orchestra adds rich depth to the music. Drummer Danny Thompson deserves special recognition for his steady beats that maintain the group's cohesion.
Fans worldwide have rushed to comment on this outstanding performance, sharing memories of when these songs first released or simply praising the band's Columbia rendition. One comment notes, "Alan Parsons was the sound engineer on The Beatles' Abbey Road and Let It Be and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon," adding "no wonder his own music is so timeless," while another simply states "still absolutely flawless."
For additional footage from this excellent concert, we suggest watching the clip of the band performing their set opener, 'I Robot.' First released as the title track from the Alan Parsons Project's 1977 album, then as its third single in 1978, this art rock composition features several distinct sections. The band brilliantly captures its sleek, futuristic atmosphere in this live version.
We understand our readers enjoy legendary live performances, which is why we're thrilled to present these amazing videos showing the Alan Parsons Symphonic Project delivering what might be one of rock history's finest live shows.
