Kayak and Orchestra, 25 april 2008


The first part of the "Coming Up For Air" tour ended in Leeuwarden. But on 25 april, Kayak played a combi-concert with the Thomas a Kempis Orchestra from Zwolle (Cindy's hometown). In a magnificent theatre (with a huge stage!), more than 900 people were there to watch this special occasion. Roughly speaking half of them were Kayakfans, the other half came especially for the orchestra.

The orchestra played a couple of rocking instrumentals (a great Van Halen guitar intro, Queen's 'We Will Rock You' and 'Innuendo', a Santana medley). Edward helped them out in 'MacArthur Park' and 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale', Cindy and Joost did 'Hold Me Forever', and Cindy sang 'Acid Queen' from the rockopera Tommy. The first part ended with Cindy, Edward and Orchestra doing an excerpt from Jesus Christ Superstar.

After the break, Kayak played: Merlin, Ninane, Freezing, Selfmade Castle, Lyrics/Wintertime/Mammoth/See See The Sun, Irene, Alienation (with orchestra), Chance For A Lifetime, Act Of Despair, Undecided, Coming Up For Air, Ruthless Queen (+ orchestra) and for the encore: Starlight Dancer (+ orchestra).

Here are some photos from this special concert, in which Kayak impressed the audience with a great performance! (click to enlarge)
