In April 2004, The Alan Parsons Live Project performed in Madrid, showcasing a period where the band was reestablishing itself in the live music circuit after a hiatus. This concert came shortly after the release of the album "A Valid Path," which was released in 2004 and marked Parsons' return to the studio after a prolonged absence since "Try Anything Once" in 1993. The live performance featured classic tracks like "Sirius" and "Eye in the Sky," which are seminal works from their earlier albums that helped define progressive rock in the late '70s and '80s. Notably, Parsons is recognized for his role as an engineer on iconic albums before forming his project, highlighting his extensive background in music production. The 2004 live recording demonstrates the band's enduring appeal and the ability to captivate audiences with a blend of new material and beloved classics.
