    Earlier this year, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London's famous Porchester Hall. The response from fans was overwhelming and led to two sold-out nights at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles in October, described by Billboard Magazine as "one of the finest and more memorable shows in EDM history."
    Above & Beyond partnered with THUMP on the production and filming of the London shows to create a concert film that captures the Porchester Hall performances and the story behind the acoustic project. The songs performed at Porchester Hall also form the basis of the "Above & Beyond Acoustic" studio album, which was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.

      Side note: I prefer this concert over their Hollywood Bowl production...by a lot... I enjoy the atmosphere more....and Annie was missing in the HB show.

    • @henno1029
      @henno1029 8 років тому +23

      Raul Santos there is a difference between a dj and a producer. AB are mostly producers, and most producers' work is never seen, because its boring, takes months and involves all the tough work, in AB's case they use a software on a pc, a full studio with tools and hardware, and make the sounds themselves from actual instruments instead of sampling it off others work or getting it off the internet, making them real producers.
      a dj's work is to mix songs together, as smoothly as possible. most producers are good dj's because they made music so they can add more to the dj side, like samples or changing a song beforehand.
      most people can learn to be a dj, but it takes more time, more skill and especially more feel to be a real producer.

      The first time I ever heard of these performers was on my first hearing of this Live Porchester Hall recording - seriously - I had NO idea what their "standard trade" was. I just loved this recording from the start and have listened to it many times since. Can you imagine my utter surprise when I learned of their origin(s) in the electronic DJ / Trance music genre? To this day I have a hard time reconciling the two, however, this does not even for a moment impune the innate and developed musicianship of these writer performers. Their flexibility and versatility proves them to possess a high level of skill. They are also just nice people. I sent an email inquiry asking if and when they might ever do another non-electronic performance such as the Porchester effort. They responded the SAME DAY and said "...we are doing one right now..." and linked me to the schedule. I have wondered how much rehearsal time was required before performing this polished gem of a show. I love Zoe, Alex, and Anne so much and each one has a unique singing gift to share. They are so good at what they do....so perfectly chosen by the gentlemen writer performers. When you see the DJ side of them spinning the platters etc. you might never guess they possess the shear musical prowess to do a show like Porchester. WOW.

  • @AlphaMouth

    As a classically trained percussionist and vocalists it so interesting to me just how different each vocalist is in their performance personalities. While Zoë and Annie were quite intimate in their performances with eyes closed, Alex has a piercing gaze with eyes wide open. It's like the ladies were inviting you into something delicately inside them with each line. Then Alex would almost scan the room looking for connections with what he was evoking. Both are quite moving but in such different ways that I was taken from an already captivated state from the beauty of their faces and tones to almost entranced. Very powerful.
    With my strong musical background I have found many EDM stylist to be quite shallow in their musical substance while relying too heavily on the strength inherently found in the genre. This concert is a resounding tribute to the true musicians that are bringing EDM to a new level of REAL music encapsulated in the hypnotic power of electronic rhythms. A new bar has bee set. Above & Beyond has just proven they are the gold standard in vocal EDM.
    I thoroughly enjoyed it and I appreciate you sharing it openly on UA-cam for us all to see. I look forward to seeing you in the states again.

      actually, its not. Itsless a live recording, but a reproduction of a live recording thats been been edited. It has a high production quality. One of the best documentaries I've seen. And I agree, the music is amazing, the songwriting phenomenal, but the vocalists are unique and apart of Above and Beyond, IMO, it would have been great to see them included.

    It's just so beautiful, what a God send these three vocalists were chosen. If I have a favourite it's Alex. But they are all just so sublime.

      I'm happy to say that it's the exact opposite. Just go and listen to anything A&B play on their podcast and compare to almost anything made 10 or even 20 years ago. Of course that there has always been and always will be a lot of shallow/boring/repetitive/overused stuff in EDM, as is the case with any kind of music, but lets not say things are worse.

    10 months ago I watched this thru covid and sang along to the beautiful voices of the female singers and the male singers too. I listened over and over again.
    Today I had this tune in my head after feeling very calm and in a sence, a spiritual feeling came over me with a tune da dun da dun da duuumm.. I cudnt remember where I heard it from. Then I remembered I was watching a concert during lockdown while I was still working and I am there still today through it all... I searched and searched for it even Google da dum da dum da dummm 🤣🤣 but I've found it. ABOVE AND BEYOND. my god I just absolutely love love love this concert. PLEASE COME TO IRELAND. 🙏 I'm soo happy to watch this again and feel happy in my heart. I feel much better now. 10mths ago I felt like I was dying inside of many things. My soul was crying and I was in soo much internal distress this got me thru it. I prayed each day to find help find hope find release.. I didn't get the professional help I was hoping for sadly but I found ways to combat that failure.. They failed me. I didn't fail my myself I saved myself from my hurt. My deep hurt. I love this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the top of the world. Thank you for your amazing music. God bless. God bless you all.
