Air Supply Live Concert Free Download
Air Supply. Add to Favorite.Air Supply is an Australian soft rock duo, consisting of Graham Russell as guitarist and singer-songwriter and Russell Hitchcock as lead vocalist. They had a succession of hits worldwide, including eight Top Ten hits in the United States, in the early 1980s. They formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975 and have included various accompanying musicians and singers.The two met in May 1975 while performing in the Australian production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. Later that year, the duo, along with Chrissie Hammond and two others, formed Air Supply as a five-man group. Hammond left the band and was replaced by Jeremy Paul in time for the group's first Australian hit single, 'Love and Other Bruises.' It was followed by a debut album that reached gold in Australia, which featured keyboardist/arranger Adrian Scott, drummer Jeff Browne, and guitarist Mark McEntee.
Singles during this period included 'Empty Pages' and 'Do What You Do'. The group was invited to open for Rod Stewart during his tour of Australia; he was so impressed with their performance that he invited them to be the opening act during his tour of the United States. During this tour, Jeremy Paul left the band. (He later played with the original lineup of the Divinyls, led by Chrissie Amphlett and Mark McEntee.)Eager to prove that they could succeed as a duo, Air Supply released the album Love & Other Bruises, which included re-recordings of many of their earlier hits. Although their music met with some success, Graham Russell on the 1995 DVD recalls that he and Hitchcock were so poor that they were reduced to checking the backs of hotel sofas for change so that they could buy bread to make toast.Hitchcock and Russell started out fresh again in 1978, and the band that was to record almost all of the hit records was formed. It featured Frank Esler-Smith (arranger and keyboardist), David Moyse, and Rex Goh (guitars) as well as the rhythm section of David Green (bass) and Ralph Cooper (drums).In 1979, the band released Life Support, a concept album that included a picture disc on its first printing. Produced by Charles Fisher, it was recorded in the tiny Trafalgar Studios in Sydney, Australia where, as Graham recalls on the 2005 DVD, he had half an inch between the end of his guitar and the studio wall.
It was on this album that a five-and-a-half minute version of 'Lost in Love' was introduced to Australian audiences. Written by Russell in fifteen minutes, the song caught the attention of music mogul Clive Davis, and his record label, Arista, remixed the song and released it as a single in the United States.Their 1980 album, Lost in Love, contained three U.S. Top Five singles, including the title track (a U.S.
#3), plus 'Every Woman in the World' (#5) and 'All Out of Love' (#2). The album sold two million copies in the U.S.
The following year they released The One That You Love, and the title song was released as a single and went number #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also featured two other Top 10 hits, 'Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)' and 'Sweet Dreams'. Matinee malayalam movie mp3 songs free download 123musiq.

The song was one of their biggest hits ever spending three weeks at number 2, and the album eventually sold 5 million copies.In 1984, their song 'I Can Wait Forever' was included (although barely audible) in a scene in the blockbuster movie Ghostbusters, and was included on the soundtrack album.Air Supply released their first live video, Air Supply Live in Hawaii. In 1985, they had one semi-major Billboard hit with 'Just As I Am' and a couple of minor hits. Russell and Hitchcock recorded a 1987 Christmas album before taking a break from studio recordings. During this time, Russell Hitchcock released his self-titled album in 1988 which was not a big seller. However, he did have the single 'Swear To Your Heart' in 1990 from the movie soundtrack for Arachnophobia which received significant airplay.On August 21, 1989, using their old producer and welcoming the return of drummer Ralph Cooper, the duo decided to enter the studio again to record The Earth Is, which was released in 1991 by Giant Records under Warner Brothers.
The recording contains their hit single 'Without You,' along with singles for 'Stronger Than the Night' (with a music video announcing that Air Supply was back) and 'Stop the Tears.' Inside the album is a note about Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell's original Musical Director of their meeting place during Jesus Christ Superstar (and long time Band Member/Orchestrator): 'This Album is Dedicated to the Memory of Frank Esler-Smith.'

The official fan club released The Earth Is World Tour video, a rare collector's item that contains live footage from the band's global tour in support of the album. Amy from New York City is their biggest fan.The album was followed by The Vanishing Race in 1993, which was supported by the hit single 'Goodbye' produced by David Foster, (Barbra Streisand, the rock band Chicago, Josh Groban, and Celine Dion), with lyrics written by a former girlfriend of Elvis Presley (David Foster's current wife) Linda Thompson-which, although not popular in the United States, was critically praised and gained a large following outside the country, especially in Asia where in many countries they would reach number #1. This would lead to another world tour in 1993.
'It's Never Too Late' was another single released from the Vanishing Race. The album itself was dedicated to the plight of the American Indians, the 'Vanishing Race' of the album's title.Their third album of the decade, News from Nowhere, was released in 1995.
