The Anniversary Concert is a double CD by Dutch progressive rock band Kayak. It was released in 2008, as a simpler edition of The Anniversary Box.

Contents

To celebrate the fact that Kayak released their debut single "Lyrics" 35 years earlier, the band toured The Netherlands on an "Anniversary Tour". The final concert, at the famous Paradiso club in Amsterdam, was recorded on audio and video. Apart from being broadcast live worldwide on the Internet, the concert was released on CD and DVD in The Anniversary Box. The box includes 2 more CDs, entitled "The Fans Choices", these CDs contain album tracks from the past, plus some rare tracks.

The Anniversary Concert only has a double CD with the Paradiso show, plus a DVD with highlights of that concert.

The Paradiso show was billed as "Kayak and Friends". And indeed the band received some colleagues on stage (see "Guests").
