JAN AKKERMAN 'STREETWALKER', Wilhelmina Cafe, 2008

Jan Akkerman and band in fantastic form playing 'Streetwalker' at the Wilhelmina Cafe in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, February 2008.

The band plays large concert venues across the world, and it is a real treat to see them perform in this intimate cafe environment, surrounded by a truly appreciative 'home audience'. The venue was filled to capacity, with only standing room at the front of the stage.

The entire performance was superb; check out Jan's amazing, 'blistering' solo on this track. The more you hear it, the more you appreciate it's magnificence, like all of Jan's great solos. Coen's keyboard solo is also remarkable, but camera position did not facilitate capturing the action on the 'keys'.




UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2010: Check out Jan's new online music store: http://www.reverbnation.com/store/store/artist_611539?item_type=music

The Jan Akkerman band:
Jan Akkerman (guitar),
Coen Molenaar (keyboards),
Wilbrand Meischke (bass),
Marijn van den Berg (drums).

Video detail is a bit 'soft', perhaps due to the nature of the lighting in the venue, as well as the usual compression necessary for internet sharing.

The sound quality is excellent for a camcorder. Is the sound really from the camera?
