- THE ALAN PARSONS SYMPHONIC PROJECT “LIVE IN COLOMBIA” - AVAILABLE AS DVD, BLU-RAY, 2-CD DIGIPAK, 3 VINYL GATEFOLD AND DIGITAL
On the evening of August 31st, 2013, a large crowd gathered at Parque Pies Descalzos in Medellín, Colombia. When Alan Parsons appeared on stage, along with the Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra and his band the audience went wild. This is an audio visual document of that incredible evening.
THE ALAN PARSONS SYMPHONIC PROJECT “Live in Colombia” is available now on earMUSIC as DVD, Blu-ray, 2-CD digipak, 3 x Vinyl, and download.
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

I am a person who has always been deeply moved by music. I remember the first time I heard this many years ago. It hit me like a bolt of lightning, bringing me tears. This live version does the same. No attempt was made to change it from the original with the brilliant sax solo being faithful to the studio version.
It is incredible how many people here want it played at their funeral, or are drawn to it with the loss of a loved one.
An incredible piece of music that has deeply affected the lives of a special group of people. People who like me are genuinely moved by music.
Have you ever wondered how it can be that you are deeply affected by music but others around you are completely oblivious? I'm 64 now and having read all the comments here I am sure we are different, more sensitive in a way. Have you seen the film Close Encounters from the 80s? A group of disparate and different people brought together by a common power. I feel the people here are the same. Do you have a hate of injustice? Me too.
No I'm not crazy , I'm getting to the 'old and wise' stage of my life. The finishing line is in sight.
I have an idea, what if we were all to meet up in the summer of 2025 at my house in France and share our stories and listen to music every evening. Say the top 5 'make me cry ' songs and what they mean to for every person played on a big screen in the garden over a few days.
What do you think?
Ignore the video on my channel its not my house and its now sold. I used to store my tractor there!
Feel free to subscribe to my channel I've got a couple of playlists there. Not all make me cry stuff. I will post a video of my house in July when I return from my hols there.
Let's make it happen
The singer is singing with his heart and his soul.
I love his performance. He's so genuine and almost vulnerable in a way. 👍
One of my oldest favourites, I still have the 45 and play it from time to time. My wife died on the 8th July 2021 of cancer, two days after our 25th wedding anniversary, and I will always say, "She was a friend of mine." 😭
Condolences. My wife died on Nov 2 2019✌️
@@habby67 may she rest in peace
Sad very sad.
Your wife is still alive in your mind
you are a beautiful soul ,and lucky to have had the best friend one could ever had. All the best to you my friend.
Life sucks...
This song will be played in my funeral.
This song its also in My Death playlist, probably Will be The last
Im 34 years old…recently diagnosed with bone cancer…
And suddenly this song means so much to me
Brilliant music and lyrics
не падай духом ,друг ,все в твоих руках ,и ты выздоровешь
Hope you are ok
Hope you will overcome!
I Pray for your healing
I will pray for you.
Aged 74 now, perhaps "Old and Wise" but this song still haunts, to those I leave behind I'll miss you all when I go. This song is the only thing I leave that will last.
As I enter my 8th decade of life, this song means more and more to me. This is my favorite Alan Parsons song.
⚘
Yes i'm not a fan for this group but in year 1983 when i Heard this song for the first time i loved it and i found the song today After myday at 13 h oo o'clock in youtube the song with the Melody are very nice and good to my ear.
Me too , as they say in star trek ."Live long and prosper my friend", Im in my 6th decade , but have allways loved this song.
Mine too!
Semplicemente fantastica. Emozionante.
My brother suffered a stroke one year ago- September 24,2022- he was 62 years old- on September 30 over 125 people benefited from his tissue and organs upon his passing- we miss him dearly- he was so kind and even in his dying he continued to give! Listening to this is so strong! Thank you for such a beautiful message- how amazing that I found this tonight! Gods comfort through such beautiful words and music!
Please take a look at my post. It may be long but I'd love you to be there
"The most beautiful and saddest song ever made!" My fiance spoke to me. She passed away in May 2022 and I am growing older with her always in my heart. 🖤
Seriously. How can ANYONE dislike this song??
I can, its just so easy. I like this song but I like disliking videos too.
Really. My God.
@@kathystammen3060 its so ez
i wonder it too!!
Because they are fucking idiots
This is one of the most stunning songs ever written. Alan Prsons Project has never been given the credit they deserve. Such beautiful creative music.
This song was played at my brother in laws funeral in July 2020 at his request. He died from terminal cancer aged only 64. He was not old but he was so wise. This embodies everything he was, such a good friend to all he knew. So dreadfully sad and poignant. "When the curtain falls" nearly destroyed us all. I listen to it often and never fail to cry. So so sad.
❤
Music is a good comfort in bad and sad times.
:(
My deepest condolences. We all meet one day!
I’m so sorry for your loss. My best and closest friend of some 36 years died just before his 50th 5 years ago and I miss him so much everyday - we thought we would grow old and wise together, sadly not 😢 This song is by chance is one I play and think of Mark. I doubt very much if he ever heard it, but it means so much to me.
You did not get the meaning of the lyrics, sad as it is. Ever though about Your Brother and not Yourself ? Sorry for hitting, but, well .... Kudos !
This live in Coloumbia will stay forever in the musical history.
I'm old and cancerous but want to be wise. This song raise me up, thanks from Japan.
God be with you dear man.
God bless you!
Yes I am cancerous also but will take this wonderful song with me in my heart never mind it is not beating, it will take me on a new journey, hope I meet up with Mozart a true genius as was so many musicians and composers of the past years.
More blessing brother through our Lord and savoiur Jesus Christ.
Hope you're still enjoying life and music.
I have just bought the DVD of this concert to have this song played at my funeral. After playing this track to my 7 year old she asked me why no one else knows this song?
That pretty much sums up what is wrong with this world now. Pretend celebrity, nonsense importance and lack of any reality.
This track is my go to track for grounding when all else fails.
65 years old and still listening in 2021
RIP Eric Woolfson.
Masterpiece by you and Alan Parsons.
My dad taught me this music since very young and I was able to watch Alan Parsons Project live when I was 17 years, 11 years ago. The Sax Solo of this song must be one of the best moments of my life which I will never forget. Today I still here and I feel goosebumps
What a stunning performance vocally and orchestrally .
Buried my mum last week. Really need songs like this to try and find meaning. Thank you.
I just saw APP last week. I am now reevaluating my life at 67. I have never been so touched and inspired by a concert, poignant, sad and yet incredibly beautiful at the same time. If you have a chance to see this musical genius and legend, DO IT!!!❤❤❤❤❤
France 2025 hear the call
I've been listening to Alan Parsons since I was a teenager. I'm now in my sixties. I didn't get this song back then. Do I ever get it now... If you are young and this song doesn't move you to tears, just wait. Unless you have ice water in your veins, trust me, it will move you to tears when you are approaching the end of your life. I can't listen to it now without tears streaming down my face. This song is an absolute masterpiece, as is P. J.'s performance.
❤
Very nice words.
@@jeffedmundson3934 Thank you.
@@ExSkyCyclePilot 55 years old, crying like a child every time I hear this masterpiece. I remember my good and old friends already gone, my father, everybody that now are far away from us.
And now I am preparing myself for the last long trip, making a list of my very best friends. Because they are the richest and only treasure that I've been able to collect in my whole life.
I wish You a long life, I wish You the best, Keep collecting good friends and loving people.
God bless You, my friend.
I feel better knowing it's not just me that cries when I hear this song. Tears just well up in my eyes and rain down.
At 69 yrs of age this song is still one of my favorite songs and gives me chills. APP ...such a great band.
As far as my eyes can see
There are Shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to Know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be Lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my Eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always Shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that You were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm Old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
F Ozbey : Thanks for the effort!
F Ozbey > Thanks for the Lyrics - great job.
thank you x
가사 올려줘서 고맙다
오즈베이!
Just reading the words touches my heart. Thank you for doing this, even though I know the words, it impacts me differently to read them.
The Saxophone piece in the end is so beautiful that I just don't want it to end. It's so beautiful & melancholic that it sums up all the sadness in this world.
yes.... it's a weeping.
one of the best things about 50 years old , is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and I am grateful !!!
I found this music in my Spotify library a couple of weeks ago. I think its just one of those songs I randomly liked from my weekly discovery. I've been listening to this song and "time" everyday since I find em.
@@part4963 good job and see you guy.
Love this song together with Silence and I since it came out. Feel so close to the lyrics written about and maybe by someone feeling the way I do. Vocals perfect here. A tune for my funeral to be played 🙏
@@monddrache2488 leave a will and will be satisfied!!
Listening today as if it were yesterday. 7/27/2020
One of the best songs.
This is one I have ALWAYS wanted to have at my funeral.....
me too
U have a point u know
@@mikkaylacambra931 Thanks
I meant the same thing
Just enjoy it while we are living...
This song always makes me cry. I could never sing it without crying. Thanks for creating such a Masterpiece. Bravo
@Bayern Franken You can cry because something is beautiful.
Same here. I wanted to perform this song but.... I can't get through it.
yes
Me too. 🥺
Same
One of the best songs ever..... Simply - the best.
This song is perfection to me!!!!
This song always brings me to tears. And I am 58 now.
This song will be my funeral song.
También yo lloro, así la escuche mil veces. 😪😪😪💔💔
its a very meaningful song..
I'm 57
End of the seventies when everybody was listening to disco, my two brothers and I where listening to APP, Yes, Genesis, Chicago ....This is an amazing performance. Thanks APP for all the musical gems, Grts from Belgium.
Me Three. 70s Genesis, Supertramp, and Aerosmith was so much better than the mid to late 80s stuff. We were fortunate to have a late night NPR progressive radio show. Played Strawbs and really deep stuff. Also had a commercial AOR station. Introduced me to Terrence Boylan, Lee Clayton, Martin Briley and many others. There is a great terrestial station out of Farmville Va. WXJK . I use onlineradiobox. It plays some deeper tracks than any deep tracks station.
Thanks Kevin👍🏾
@@kevinrockford9826 dope
You're right bob, same with me in 70's we always listening prog rock like APP, Genesis, Yes, Kansas, etc..
Me too, I was 12 when Going For The One came out and that LP changed everything. I was still listening to all this wonderful music in the 80s while all my friends were listening to Depeche Mode and Bananarama.
Clear uncluttered singing...emotional
Che meraviglia, la canzone e P. J. OLSSON...
Que bella canción, me recuerda al concierto que dio en mi país Ecuador, Allan Parsons es un genio que hace música d calidad y encima le pone corazón, ésta música no pasa de moda y son joyas que te emocionan hasta las lágrimas, saludos desde Quito Ecuador
This beautiful song made the hairs at the back of my neck stand up! Fabulous
Canzone bellissima,spero che veniate in italia
Join me in France Summer 2025
Everytime I hear this song my memory goes back to my younger years and can not keep from smiling.
A few years back a fellow high school student of the class of '72 asked all her hundreds of face book friends to choose one song that kinda wraps up our life since graduation. I chose "Old and Wise". Woolfson and Parsons wrote spectacular ballads. Eric was awesome. Thanx for all your gifts to the world of music. RIP.
Qien murio ? 🤪🤪🤪
@@mariamery7025 Eric Woolfson (1945 - 2009) , the writer of so many beautiful songs of the Alan Parsons Project, of which Eric and Alan were the crucial central part
Senza alcun dubbio uno dei più grandi capolavori in assoluto per la sua più totale completezza trasversale
PJ olsson- I feel your pain. Beautiful song and beautiful singing. Orchestra absolutely lovely Xx
68 years old from North Carolina..i love this song. and APP I"ve been a fan of since the 70s God bless us all ! My soulmate passed away 6 years ago on Christmas and i wish I had this song to play at her going home service.. still missing her more than life..
Same here, just some years younger. My friend left us 6 yrs ago and said that AP is a genius. Very hard to listen to this song again...
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
I lost my oldest friend last week.This song is also for him.
What a great voice!
The Saxophone piece in the end is like adding fuel to the already burning fire of this most beautiful song.
Definitely. Join me in France 2025
This is the type of song that you require one hour of self thoughts after listening. Something to think something to feel. Perfect song between lyrics and melody.
WHAT IS IT about this song that touches us all so deeply ... ❤️
“As the final curtain falls before my eyes... “ 🙏
It's a poignant epiphany about life, it's brevity and the accurate depiction of growing old while providing an eloquent affirmation on the value of Human connection over anything else. A brilliant piece of music that doesn't happen very often, in my opinion.
On one hand It‘s the song and the way the whole crew is performing it and on the other hand it‘s a true and focused view on life itself!
„Like autumn wind will blow right through me!“
❤❤
The beauty of the cycle of life.
It puts us in touch with our mortality.
Sax solo = tears.. incredible.. That song always hit my heart..
Alan Parsons also used the sax effect on Dark side of the moon and Al Stewart recordings
The greatest song ever. Thanks, Alan, for all your music that came in my life!
and thanks to Eric Woolfson too, of course
@@larsvanmoer453 Yeah, The Eric Woolfson's Project 😄👍
Bam! Right to the heart!! Tears and that sax solo..amazing. Just WOW.
Come to France summer 2025
Never get tired of listening this one. The sax at the end is epic
WOW....... WHAT A MASTERPIECE..

La poesía en todo su esplendor , que belleza !!!!!!
Truly heartbreaking.
PJ sings it heart and soul........watch the entire concert it's awesome.......
De acuerdo, el concierto es fabuloso y PJ sintiendo profundamente cada palabra que sale de su boca.
The beauty of this song is in its sadness...hard not to like as one gets older.
Estas canciones emocionan totalmente y vienen recuerdos de antaño y nostalgia.....extraordinario grupo
P.J. Olsson hat eine wundervolle Stimme, die so gut zu diesem tollen Lied passt. Gänsehaut.

Tears. So melancholy and sad. Yet beautiful and profound. The beauty of life lasts only so long.
Meet us in France summer 2025. Heed the call
Lucky to be a teen back in the 80s enjoying these voices and amazing musicians.
Simply beautiful … Makes me cry .. so wonderfully sung …and the orchestra is so evocative… thanks ☺️
I am in love with this song.
I’ve been listening to this super group for over forty years. Still amazing!
the moment when you think they will leave out the saxophone at the end... but then..... baaaang
My man over there playing two synths at once. Props to him.
The whole concert....."Masterpiece" 😍👌🎷🎸🎹📯
Just haunting and beautiful…this is life and its eventual conclusion.
So eine faszinierende Stimme. Wunderbar!!!
Voice world
Frankreich 2025, wenn du mitteilen willst würde mich freuen
Name even 1 song this good in 21st century!
This song moves me every time...
ein wunderschönes Lied...
Это было очень по-новаторски 40 лет назад! Это было и остаётся до сих пор прогрессивной музыкой. Как хорошо сыграли музыканты. Соло на саксофоне бесподобно. Медная духовая группа, струнная группа, ударные инструменты - всё так великолепно сочетается. А сама песня - это гимн всем, кто помнит эпоху хорошей и качественной музыки. Браво, АРР! Звукорежиссёру и автору ролика большое спасибо.
Gracias Dios por darme la oportunidad de escuchar esta belleza de música
Alan un millón de gracias❤️💛💙💛❤️💛
Magnificc extraordinario 👌👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰💜🍷🌻🌻🌻
Me siento muy complacido de haber pertenecido al selecto grupo que produjo este concierto audiovisualmente en la ciudad de Medellin de un grande como es Alan Parsons en la posición de cámara 6 a hombro🎬📽 ojalá se repita algún día😊😊
@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 Hello, thank you very much for your message, it was a very fascinating experience since from a very young age i began to like the music of Alan Parsons, and as a curiosity i tell you that with a month left until the concert on the channel they gave us several camera test on several cameramen and i was selected, it was a very gratifying moment for me.
Omg, I get goose bumps when I hear this song. Love these guys’ talent so much!!! Never get tired of them 😍🥰👏👏👏❤️❤️
What a perfomance, unbeliveiable.
My favorite song from Alan Parsons.
Written by Eric Woolfson
this is some of the most beautiful, emotional music and words I have heard in my life, and I am old, but maybe not so wise.....thankful for presence ...
One of the best songs ever written, si much feeling on this, thank you Alan Parsons
Real Thing, Real Sense, Real Music !
Sublime belleza y armonía que estruja el alma. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞Muchas gracias!! No me canso de escucharla. Y soy de la década de los 70.
Nostalgia di quei tempi❤
As far as my ears can hear.....this song brings me happiness and tears.
A kpop enthusiast here . found out about this song watching a Korean movie ' A Dirty Carnival' and this song is in the ending scene.. caught my attention.. Googled it..and here i am... beautiful melody..and lyrics..bravo🎉
LOVE this mans voice ♥️♥️♥️
First time I’ve heard this - Good God ,shatteringly good
You'll probably come back to this a few more times..
Listen to the original whole album...."Eye In The Sky". A clever masterful piece of Artistry in music. Truly an underrated band.
Alan Parsons is one of the most genius musicians of the the past two centuries :) 1965 to 2021
This song is seeping to my bones
Like death facing my eyes
Alan Parsons Project, one of the rare breed in the world of songwriting💖💕
Will listen this till my funeral...
I visited my sister today in the Clatterbridge centre, she is in the latter stages of Pancreatic Cancer. She has suffered so much over the past 8 months, in a month she has endured Covid and to top it all she has Sepsis...she is probably the strongest person, equal to my Mum. Jacque as I told you earlier, you are the best sister I could have...love you so much, this song is much about you ! xxx
woow tremenda interpretación ...se ganaron los colombianos
Me emociona esta canción. Brillante Alan Parsons
This is just a heavenly performance of a great song. The lyrics are so deep
Когда буду умирать, буду сожалеть только о том, что больше не услышу музыку, и в частности эту.
One of my favorite in my playlist
U fool
