Fabulous! A classic rock line-up with the token shaven-headed bloke on bass, eye-candy doing her bit with tambourine, someones dad on drums and aging rocker on keys. But what a sound and what talent - these old campaigners could knock the current generation of Biebers into a cocked hat as writers AND performers. Attention all youngsters!! - Watch and learn
Merlin was surreal back in the day guys. The prog rock bands in the 70s were everywhere but for some reason Tower Records always had these Kayak albums available. Merlin was a powerful song back then and it still is today.
Bedankt Kayak voor alle fijne muziek die jullie altijd voor ons maakten! Ook dit nummer laat de geweldige muzikale hoogten van Kayak horen/zien! Max, rust in vrede!! RIP.
Voor mij is de mooiste sound in het hele kayak spectrum… ton op piano, edward op vocals combi. Met deze 2 ingredienten wordt alles al snel steengoed. Verder was dit natuurlijk een super setting zo met zn allen. How time flies…
This is what KAYAK is all about, great and perfect performances, full of emotion, feeling, complex and beautiful arrangements, personality in each and every member, professionalism, quality and sincere playing, originality, things that quite seldom you will see in new bands nowadays, I do miss Pim, but the new album follows perfectly well this stream of greatness !
I love watching Pim playing the drums, what a technique, precision and arrangement. Wished I could have seen them live together R.I.P. my favourite drummer
Been to Kayak two weeks ago and it was awesome! Together with Queen, Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd one of the best bands ever! And I'm 18. Faith in youth restored?
@@olgazadig4961 Oh wow, someone read my comment after all those years! Yes, I'm 28 now and in the meantime I got into vinyl records - and ofcourse, I've got all the Kayak albums.
Ben bijna 50, Kayak was wel in the picture maar mijn hart lag meer in AC-DC en meer van dat soort bands. Ongeveer in 2000 ben ik de muziek van Kayak meer gaan waarderen en heb zelfs mijn Border Collie Kay genoemd. Vanaf dat moment heb ik Kayak niet meer losgelaten en is de muziek van Kayak voor mij meer dan muziek alleen en gelukkig is mijn vriendin ook helemaal Kayak fan geworden. Wij genieten van de muziek de lyrics en natuurlijk de optreden waar we regelmatig te vinden zijn.
Exciting music, very good players AND great melodies. The perfect combination that makes great music. Does it ever going to be any better than this??!!

Vamo lo comegato !!, vamo la trova que supo parir a Pablo el Enterrador , siempre va a haber oreja rosarigasina para rock sinfónico progresivo de moog y mellotron !
the original version with Edward on vocals is from Merlin, 1980, and the whole first side of that album was revisited as Merlin - Bard of the Unseen in 2003 with Bert Heerink on vocals. Now Edward is back in the band but they still perform some songs from 'Bard' as well.
@rafikyanborisov may I add, they did what other artists couldn't do successfully, with two incredible conceptual albums... this one is from "Merlin: the bard of the unseen", and what IMHO is their best album, "Nostradamus: the fate of man"
Arghhhh....ik krijg weer kippenvel van de hoogste orde bij de eerste tonen van de zang. Het is sinds mijn spirituele reis in het paganisme een soort lijfnummer van me geworden.
Wow... Sure, they rock, they do that how it's supposed to be done, and they do that very very well! So yes, I was listening with more than pleasure. And then came 4:09... And they blew me away with only vocals. If you can do thát you can call yourself a musician!
Ton en andere Kayak leden, bedankt voor zoveel luistergenot. Jammer dat ook deze tijd voorbij is. Kijjk en luister dit geweldige optreden nog vaak.
Ton on keys great. Love him since Camel.

Someone's dad is Pim Koopman ...top producer ! Listen to The President or Diesel 😊
this is the best progresive rock band from holland, their composition and arrangement so melodius but still ok to hear, kayak its great

Verschillende keren live gezien.beste ned band aller tijden😊😊.
Dat is de spijker op z'n kop!😊👍
one of the Best songs of all times in the history of rock&roll and i have more than 50 years listening all kind of rock
Armando, I totally agree, you're someone who has the same feeling as me,
Ton Scherpenzeel is a great musician and composer ...
This is an absolute masterpiece, second to none.
Stop drinking mate.
One of my favorites is also "Ruthless Queen"! 👌
Sad to hear Max has passed away…what a legend!
Pim was my grandfather :) R.I.P big man!
Really? Awesome! :0 If he was my grandfather I would have borrowed him all day for drumming lessons xD
Pim's grandchilderen were born after his death...
Een van Nederlands beste bands uit het verleden.

Cuando escuché a Kayak por vez primera en mi vida fue con el álbum de Merlín, de inmediato quedé admirado de su virtuosismo y su excelente música.
Awesome Show. KAYAK, Iconic Band. The best of the best. I love this incredible Album.
This is amazing! God bless these great musicians.
This is musicality at its peak!

In one word......BRILLIANT
This guy could sing back in the 80s, but now his voice got this deep value! :-)
Exciting music, very good players AND great melodies. The perfect combination that makes great music. Does it ever going to be any better than this??!!
Ton, je hebt zoveel mooie muziek gemaakt. Wat een feest!
❤️ Kayak. And true love lasts forever.
Vocal is like a stream of water... great... shivers....
My first exposure to this band.Excellent prog.
Destijds de voorstelling gezien:Waanzinnig!!!
Zo'n concert dat direct vol binnen komt en je nooit meer vergeet.
Paradiso 2008. Nog steeds kippenvel. Mijn favoriet toen. Niniane solo van Ton. Never heard keyboard solo like this before
Prachtige stem van Edward Reekers!!❤️ En wat een geweldige compositie!
Outstanding composer meets equal singer - the result is fantastic - love it!!!
i listened to this song on the radio years ago and I loved it.
One of the best ever guitar intro!
One of the best guitar intro!
heerlijk, wat een nummer !!!!! Elke keer (+1000x) weer genieten!!!
Since I met kayak music I always argued that Ton Scherpenzeel is a great musician and composer , Genial ...
Absolutely fantastic. Brings back huge memories of the album release date.....
Stunning vocals and musicianship! Bravo!!!
Great performance here !!!!!!!!!!!!
MAGICAL
Kayak one of my fave Prog Rock...
+Art Zoom Nooit Alquin beluisterd zou ik oprecht willen vragen....

This band were always very special
Finding the treasures that lay hidden in my lonely cave
Holding the secrets which were born inside this crystal
Grave
I'm the seeker my mind's my tool
Call me magician or fool
There's a place in the hills
Where I practice my skills
Bard of the unseen, a prophet I'm Merlin
My dreams are real
I've seen it all in the stars
I've heard it all in the wind
There's a voice in the dark
Making me answer the sign
Only the gods choose the time
For the voice in the dark
Take a look at the falcon make sure that I'll follow
Its trail
Leading through the wild forest, you know he's in
Search of the grail
I'm Merlin I know how to cope
When visions appear in my globe
the sorcerer in the black robe
I am Merlin
Though my face is a mask yet I know what's my task
I'll be guardian of Arthur, the regent, the future king
The fire of wisdom reveals me everything
The mirror flashed, a vision passed
As I heard voices sing
I'm always living alone
An ancient cave is my home
See the look in my eyes
They think I'm a mysterious man
Cause people do all they can
To avoid evil eyes
Making signs just to ward off enchantment but don't be
Afraid
If you're ever in need of me I'll surely come to your
Aid
I've been given the gift of the sight
I'm Merlin the child of the light
My power can strike people blind
I am Merlin
Hun teksten pure poëzie. Ongekend in de popwereld.
My favorit song of all times!
Great band. I wish it were easier to get thier music here in the states. The DVD's too in NTSC format.
Unfaßbar gute Live-Band!! Es war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis..
Strangely enough, I heard this song and the whole album back in 1983 and I lived then in the USSR. Great band!
We need a last tour playing the entire album please!!
Que gran tema, un excelente grupo Kayak, gracias por compartirlo, saludos de Rosario, Argentina
Vamo lo comegato !!, vamo la trova que supo parir a Pablo el Enterrador , siempre va a haber oreja rosarigasina para rock sinfónico progresivo de moog y mellotron !
Замечательная группа!!!
never tired of this song thanks for share in live
Love this band forever
