Live in Colombia [Blu-ray]

For me anything Alan Parsons does is pure magic. From the start sitting behind the control board of Pink Floyds "Dark Side of The Moon" to his collaborations with Eric Woolfson. Alan Parsons ranks up there with the likes of Paul McCartney and Jeff Lynne as the greatest composers of the 20th century. Although in most respects I preferred the DVD in Madrid a bit more, what this DVD offered was songs from "Turn of a Friendly Card", and that alone made this DVD well worth every cent of the purchase price. Although the only band member still with Parsons from that time frame is PJ Olsson who with Alan Parsons sings most of the songs. With the exception of sax player vocalist Todd Cooper, who sang lead and back up on some songs. Although on lead vocals, I felt his voice was a bit too shrill. Nonetheless, for any APP fan, this DVD is a must have. I would have paid double just for being able to watch and hear the back half, or flip side of "Turn of a Friendly Card" which PJ Olsson did a wonderful job on. And as always, so did Alan Parsons. Also as in the case with the Madrid DVD there isn't much given to the production aspect. No big lighting show, just a small stage, set far back from the crowd. But each musician is flawless in reproducing the original sound and guitar licks. For the most part. Camera angles by and large are pretty good. Overall I don't think you'll be disappointed. I sure wasn't. The song list totals 21 songs. 1. I Robot 2. Damned If I Do. 3. Don't Answer Me. 4. Breakdown 5. The Raven 6. Time 7. I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You 8. La Sagrada Familia 9. The Turn Of A Friendly Card Pt. 1. 10. Snake Eyes 11. The Ace of Swords 12. Nothing Left To Lose 13. The Turn of A Friendly Card Pt. 2 14. What goes Up 15. Luciferama 16. Silence And I 17. Prime Time 18. Sirius 19. Eye In The Sky 20. Old And Wise 21. Games People Play.

My first listen was on an old DVD attached to a TV with a poor sound system. The voices were barely audible and were drown out by the orchestra. My second listen was with a quality DVD and a new TV system which played the DVD perfectly. What I learned is that to enjoy this DVD to the fullest, it should be played on a quality sound system. The music is unique and quite wonderful to listen to over and over on a quality sound system.

Magic and fantastic concert. Great, great band (Alan Parsons project), great, great symphonic orchestra of Medellin (Colombia), and great TV realization. More than 5 cameras, two mobile in front of the band, two more close to the orchestra, one for wide overview, maybe another. And last but not least GREAT, GREAT music. More than 40 years from its creation, and still as good as it was in the 70s. What a blessing! From 1 to 10, just 20!

Short story first. The only disappointment is that the set list follows along almost exactly with Livespan, with the only significant difference being Silence and I. Otherwise, great! Long story. The Region 0 Blu-ray, as noted by everyone else is playable on US players, no issue at all. The video quality is very good, though zooms of Parsons seem a little grainy. The audio quality is great. I was expecting a larger presence of the orchestra to add onto songs, however, the orchestra is generally used in the original role as on the albums, so people expecting a larger presence will be a little disappointed. However, when kept in context that the orchestra sections in the songs are being played by a live orchestra, that is very cool! The set list, while repetitive from the last album, is great and covers the Alan Parsons Project very well. I wish they'd get some material from Try Anything Once (Jigue or Re-Jigue would have been perfect!) or On Air / Time Machine into these shows. Those albums have some great tracks. The vocal harmonies, as with Livespan are incredible. The musicians play the songs very well. The leading vocals are great, with Greene, Olloson, and Cooper each adding a different tone for the songs they sing. For the price, if you are a fan, getting this is a no brainer.

Live performance and from and exotic location! what more can you ask for? A proud addition to my collection.

Heard one of the songs off this CD on a streaming service, so I decided to buy the whole CD. I have all the Alan Parsons studio albums and when I heard this one, it blew me away. Using the Medellin Philharmonic as a backup made for fantastic listening. The sound quality and video is excellent and as usual the Alan Parsons production is a home run hit out of the ball park. Recommend it for all Alan Parsons fans.

If you are a Parsons fan, this will not let you down. The video quality on the Blu-ray was wonderful. The sound I give a 9/10. The sound seemed a little tiney at times, other times great. The 5.1 was more like 3.1 with a little boost in the rear channel, but it did play out of all speakers. I am certainly glad I bought this video and certainly would recommend. Remember, this was from 2016 and the technology was good, but not great so don't expect full blow your socks off sound... But it is a solid enjoyable concert.

This is a fabulous DVD. Great music. O absolutely recommend it.

As aging fans of Alan Parson, this has become our favourite thing to watch!

A great live performance of music from The Alan Parsons Project over the years. Very well produced and beautifully filmed with accomplished performances by great musicians, including Alan himself and accompanied by a full orchestra.

dvd en excellent état envoi rapide et soigné je recommande

Fantastiskt bra och välproducerad konsert på BD med de mest kända låtarna av APP framfört med symfoniorkester och kompetetent rockband.

Il concerto in se è bellissimo,le immagini sono ottime la scaletta è da urlo così come la band! Una grossa pecca per l’audio visto che lui è stato ingegnere tecnico del suono dei Pink Floyd…premetto che l’ho ascoltato con un integrato Accuphase di alta fascia e delle B&W 801 Matrix s3 quindi non un impiantino di Mediaworld…ma alla qualità audio do un 5 su 10 purtroppo…se siete amanti del genere lo consiglio comunque.
