How could I "re-discover" Air Supply? As a fan for over 20 years and having been to many concerts, I thought I had heard it all. After" Greatest Hits" there would naturally be "Greatest Hits--Live." What else could there be? One year's concert tour was just piano with guitar and their two voices. Graham told the audience that they like to do this every few years to keep the harmony strong and vibrant. Part of the appeal to me of Air Supply has always been the balance between Graham and Russell's voices. The lush orchestrations were like icing on the cake. But now, the orchestration, the piano, and everything else have been removed. What remains is something new and still beautiful but in a different way. My long-time personal favorite, "The One That You Love", always seemed to stand out from the other songs. Now it is just one of many beautiful canvases painted like gentle watercolors with only two voices and guitar. The beauty is the simplicity. It reveals what most fans have felt for years but perhaps were unable to explain. The voices, music, and lyrics were individually strong; but the blending is subtle and seems effortless. You can now hear and see how they crafted the songs. And it really seems as if they are enjoying what they do. I could listen to this over and over and find even more to enjoy. I highly recommend it to both new and old fans. It is also a great way to show the difference between playing notes and creating music.
