I am a huge Parsons fan, but I really dislike this version of the song. Sounds like something from Carol King. I prefer the "strolling" sound of the original. I have also heard much better live versions. Although you have to love Booker
No song ever created such an amazing feeling inside of me!!! This is definitly one of the most beautiful songs EVER!!! But the Video (with this nice comic story) ist also very very nice and I will always remember, how I sat in front of the TV, when it was shown on the music show called "Formel Eins". I was ten years old.
This is an absolutely amazing performance of a great song. I agree with those who said they can't believe these guys are not in the R&R Hall of Fame. That's a shame. I have to believe they are on the short list! OUTSTANDING in every sense!
Alan Parsons, Andrew Powell, Ian Bairnson, David Paton, Stuart Elliot, Lenny Zakatek, Richard 'Trix' Cottle, Gary Brooker and the late, great Eric Woolfson working 'behind the scenes'. Wow! What a line-up and what a performance! Too bad Eric stayed in the 'background' and chose not to sing the song he wrote. That would have been true perfection!
Lenny as funky and warmly as ever... unluckily, Alan had just broken his long-term partnership with my dear auld gigantic hero and fellow Scot Eric Woolfson, who wrote this yin and sang it too... so he wasn't here, but I presume he wouldn't as well even if being part of the band, he was too much of a background figure, although the Project was all his, along with Alan.
Gary Brooker is always striking. Saw him live 5 years ago, his voice was immaculate, and he was very friendly. :-)
I love this song. Lenny is great on the songs that he sings like Games People Play. But this song was sung by Eric Woolfson and the Alan Parson's Project is just not the same without him. Eric sounds a lot better on this one than Lenny.
Every time I see AP video clips it's like little trips to heaven. And seeing Lenny Zakatek was an undescribable delight. He's always been my favorite AP singer. Gary Brooker was a treat, too. Thank you so much!

Why these guys haven't been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame is beyond me.

Wow, it's funny how no one notices that they are playing it just a little too fast.
I've been playing for years in local bands.
When you play it just a little fast, people don't notice usually...but play it too slow and they'll notice!
Funny how not one person has made a comment about it.
It IS noticable. I wouldn't make a post about it if their wasn't much difference.
Great song...a pure classic.

There's some reason for some bands tend to play faster on live performances, unless they are playing an acoustic version ... strange but real!
acuariano91 2 years ago
Yes, I think you're right. It could be the energy...the adrenalin perhaps?
Still, it's not TOO fast.

Lenny!!! With a bald spot, just like me!! Lenny, as much as Eric, is the voice of the Project. I love him.

kingofallwhites 4 years ago
Right, every hit of Alan Parsons besides Games People Play was sung by Eric Woolfson.
For me Eric is the true voice of The Project.
Time - Eric Woolfson
Eye in the Sky - Eric Woolfson
Don't Answer Me - Eric Woolfson

As great as the studio version! No! Way better with lenny and the audience.
THIS we see here IS (rather, was) the spirit of the TRUE Project!!
This is pure gold, pure magic. Thank you SO MUCH! May you tell me where and when did you got this? 5/5 obviously :D
