His place is on a riser at the back playing his instruments and occasionally singing lead. The main part of the set finished up with the crowd favorite “ Sirius / Eye in the Sky”, causing everyone in the venue to stand and sing along.Īlan Parsons acts almost like the Godfather of the band. It warranted one of the many standing ovations on the night. I got goosebumps listening to “ Standing on Higher Ground”, especially the vocal part of guitarist Dan Tracey. The band was having fun performing and interacting with the crowd. The instrumental “ I Robot” was a classic, as was Alan telling the audience to “do something useful” with their cell phones to help out on “ Limelight”. “ The Secret” is a worthy addition to the Alan Parsons catalog.Īfter intermission the show kicked into overdrive.
Olsson on “ Time”, and what Todd Cooper brought to “ Psychobabble”. Alan’s vocals on “ As Lights Fall” were hauntingly beautiful, and the work his future son-in-law Jordan Huffman on “ I Can’t Get There from Here” stood out. Highlights included the beautiful vocals of P.J. From there the show weaved Alan Parsons Project hits together seamlessly with the remaining new tracks they performed. The concert fired up with “ One Note Symphony”, a track from the new album, “ The Secret” (out Apthrough Frontiers Records). If you look at the first half of the set as the opener, then it could be classed as the best warm up act ever. This was Alan’s first time performing in Calgary… Yes, that’s hard to believe, but if you saw the excitement of the fans then you would know it was true. Everybody in the band was excellent, because Alan Parsons has put together an amazing live band. What I took from these snippets of conversation is that nobody had anything bad to say about the show. And of course there were more than a few who brought up Alan Parsons himself. Some commented on saxophonist Todd Cooper.
Interestingly, everyone seemed to have a different favourite performer. The Alan Parsons Live Project took to the stage at the Grey Eagle Event Centre on April 15th, 2019, for 2 1/2 hours, leaving the crowd buzzing about the experience.
