Alan Parsons - Silence and I - In memory of Eric Woolfson at the Night of the Proms

[judithraeisme]

I didnt want the song to end, I was so absorbed by the beauty. P j Made it his. Alan's input was intense. Wow. Love these guys.



[darkskidz]

This song alone should prove the dominance this music has over modern music.

[judithraeisme]

@darkskidz I agree, Completely. when will these kids get it?

[CSavageSr]

How awesome is PJ. Answer-Totally Awesome!

[lmp0]

Sauf erreur de ma part c'était Eric Woolfson lui même qui chantait ce morceau sur l'album Eye in the sky

2:15 All that butane fuel going to waste...when it could be sparkin' up bongs or jays.

[pfeitosa]

Vocals @ 1:45-1:53 are fantastic!

[donnyp1966]

A very moving tribute to one of the signature voices that made the Alan parsons Project such a success. He will be missed by this APP fan.

[alexis191295]

great

[StevePalmer8]

Great track! - Eric is sadly missed - a musical genius

[Ragnar1971]

two weeks ago i heard that Eric Woolfsen is dead.And since then i`m very very sad.

The music of this man belongs to my youth like my mum and my dad.Every time when i was sad or depreesd,or had very much problems to get on with my life,the music from APP get me started again and gave me the power to go on.Today it`s the same.So,Alan please don`t let the project die and keep on making music and always think of Eric (the Eye in the sky).

the day the followspot died

[220773]

Alan, finally... after all these years of darkness, a new light shines over your long-term and wonderful brotherly friendship wi' dear auld Eric. Hands clappin'.

[NudistPoet]

Wow!

[paw102]

this is fantastic.. we miss you eric

[NudistPoet]

Absolutely fantastic! Chills! It gave me chills! PJ's vocals were a beautiful tribute to Eric. The orchestra was phenomenal, as was the stage lighting.

[yvanplomb]

cool !!

[aksom]

So sad, a musical genius left us. RIP Eric.

[azzorroww]

a fine tribute to eric and a far superior version than 2008's night at the proms which featured silence and i, p.j. did a fine vocal performance which i found very moving here, even if he was a little low, as was alans intro, he may of beern tired emotionally after eric;s service and given the travel i found it respectful and moving, also check out john montagna's lime light as real as it gets, very good indeed.

[manuchali]

One of the best song from Eric...sorry PJO but your voice did not "reach me"...but thanks you for tryng...

Eric will miss you forever !!!

[Syngularity]

Yes, I would love to see a good video version one day... but thanks so much for sharing. PJ performed so well, a bit similar to Colin Blunstone.

[MarilynMonroe93]

Es war sowas von atemberaubend :D

Voll ergreifend, wie der Sänger das performt hat!

Ich war gaaanz vorne gestanden *happy*

[MsCalandro]

Just that from Alan? And the concert go on? OMG!

Eric deserve more than that!

We love you Eric! Shame Alan

[urbania70]

@MsCalandro. This is the Night of the Proms, a multiartistical event. Alan sang three songs here, more is not possible. On the other hand, Proms furnishes Alan the rare opportunity to play live with an orchestra. S&I was done live by Alan only at Proms this and last year. You can see an additional video of AP from this show on same channel.

[urbania70]

@CSavageSR: There's no doubt, but reality is another thing. But overall, your language clearly classifies you as a very ignorant person. Show respect for Eric in this very sad moment.

PS If you visit my channel you'll see that I have a huge respect for him.

Oh, you can type in Latin, you must be really smart...I was not speaking to you. I am not interested in your thoughts. Please leave ME alone.

[CSavageSr]

urbania70, I was not speaking to you. Piss off.

[fazil69]

Very well performed! Thank you Alan Parsons Live Project! it was Eric's&Alan's 9th symphony.Immortal...R.I.P

[jherrera1968]

Ty very much, for this video

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Greatly done ! Thanks for sharing ! I hope that the PROMS have made one professional recording of this one, 'cause it really deserve to be immortalized in high quality in a CD or DVD format. Long live the memory of Eric Woolfson - this is my favourite song of him above all !

[nostromusrex]

The Alan "money" Project probably think on that DVD ;)

[nostromusrex]

Best tribute to Eric must be don't make the concert and start to rename "The Parsons Woolfson Project" every fking compilation from now on.

THANX ERIC.

Silence for you.

[MsCalandro]

I second that!

[ln2675]

I was at the Mannheim concert when Alan Parsons tols the audience, in german, that Eric Woolfson had died earlier in the day. I can tell you the rendition of "Silence and I" that the orchestra did that night, the emotion in Alan Parsons' voice and the way the audience reacted really made it a unique musical moment.

[urbania70]

Many thanx for posting really. Eric is greatly missed by the fan community. I heard about this performance, with Alan's dedication to Eric, but didn't hope to see it in video.

[nostromusrex]

Missed and "missing"... not for the fans, just for the press

[rjnolesRU]

Beautiful tribute and such a great rendition!

[DoctorTarr]

Wooow, thank you very much for posting this amazing tribute to Eric, in these sad days, by Alan. My dream came true, Alan, Silence and I in NotP...

[AceGallagher]

Beautiful and fitting tribute... thank you for posting.

[fjorab]

Wow, that was really powerful, very moving. I've never been to an orchestral concert with Alan performing, but i can tell just from this that it's got a flavor just as powerful as the APLP band. And PJ did an awesome job singing! Even for such a somber song, he did some of his signature stage bopping.

Very nice, thanks for sharing this!

[fjorab]

...well, a subdued version of PJ's stage antics, anyway. :-)

And like a friend of mine mentioned, it's neat to see all the lighters (real and/or electronic) that people lifted up.

[rubberuniverse]

A beautiful tribute from one master to another. Eric is greatly missed. Great job Alan and Peej. - Mike D
