Alan Parsons Project at Durham Performing Arts Center

Why see Alan Parsons Project?

The Prog-rock wizardry of The Alan Parsons Project returns

Comprised of engineer and producer Alan Parsons and singer-songwriter/composer Eric Woolfson, The Alan Parsons Project was formed in 1975 as part of the British progressive and soft rock movement. Parsons, a well-established producer by that point, was inspired by the auterism of the film industry, giving his individual creative stamp on the duo's ensuing releases.

Accompanied by a revolving line-up of regular features and budding new talent, the pair pushed the boundaries of rock and pop, often conjuring chart success with jazz harmony-tinged dreamy soundscapes, laid back grooves and a cinematic feel. Their conceptual albums blossom into kaleidoscopic live performances, where the virtuosity of prog meets singable lyrics and hook-laden pop. There's no pomp and circumstance when it comes to The Alan Parsons Project, just a high level of musicality that speaks for itself.

Alan Parsons at State Theater Minneapolis MN, Nov. 9 2018

Splendid Show.... Heard about the show on the radio 3 weeks prior to the show and took a chance and looked for tickets. Found floor tickets not over priced. Plus #1. Pulled the trigger and glade I did. It had been 30 years since my last concert. Life and children came first and I don't like large noisy venues so State Theater seamed perfect. And I was correct. Sound was just right for my ears. (old ones) They played many hits, however being a huge fan they couldn't play all that my heart desired. I looked around the crowd of fellow project lovers a few times to see slight head bobbing. But mine was non-stop, totally into it. I could' stop. The one song i wasn't familiar with was a song he dedicated to his long lost friend Goeff Emerick and the point we were asked to pull out are flashlights on our phones, Very cool moment. I thank Alan Parsons and the entire project, the State Theater and all who attended for a beautiful evening I shall remember this night forever PEACE & LOVE TO ALL ... Read more

Alan Parsons Concert in Dallas

Amazing, powerful and overall excellent. Only thing that could have made it better was a symphony orchestra like their performance in Colombia. ... Read more
