Okean Elzi - The Moscow Kremlin

This storm opened a new page in Russian history - the pathetic, seeing-out Kremlin that survived during many wars and uprisings, September 27 "surrendered without a fight" to simple Ukrainian children from the Lviv rock band Okean Elzi! It was just blown up !!! Pulled, smeared with rhythm and music ... For the first time in its centuries-old history, these walls were literally shaking from a combination of live, pulsating from its own rock power, accompanied by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs's symphony orchestra under the direction of Felix Aranovsky !! THIS WAS TRIUMPH !!! An unprecedented victory, you need to announce about it only as the voice of Yuri Levitan!

The first minutes the room seemed to be afraid to breathe, so as not to miss a single sound or a single gesture - apparently this created an atmosphere of deceptive stiffness at the beginning of the concert ... And then ... This could only be compared with the breakthrough of the dam ... with Nuclear explosion ... Pitiful, how helpless, equally unsuccessful attempts to protect the seat of the dancers in places, a wild, simply incredible drive on the stage, electrified to an unthinkable limit the atmosphere of the thousands-strong hall breathing with one breast ... At some point, when the heat of this Mercilessly Th drive reached its apogee and went out of control, lead singer Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, took the wand from the conductor, and jumping on the curb, began to conduct the orchestra himself! The Kremlin was raging ... Hardly have these walls ever seen such hysteria ... (It's hard to say whether the guys had noticed this from the stage, but the last third of the concert was all, absolutely the whole hall was standing, unable to sit on the ground - if Kremlin furniture was not fixed on the floor - the government would definitely have to shell out for a new one - the old one would just be demolished!) And this despite the fact that the audience of the Elsie Ocean is truly unique in the breadth of its age range - it's really a boundless ocean from sixteen to sixty or more years, Otori each released disc, with each play a concert spreads wider and wider, conquering new horizons.

Slightly dumbfounded by such a stormy reception, Svyatoslav, in a short breathing space, remembered the famous phrase of John Lennon, once said to them at the Prince of Wales Theater: "Ground - clap your hands, and the rest instead of applause can pound with diamonds ..." And for good reason .. The fate of this collective in some pages of his biography, and indeed, involuntarily resembles the biography of the Beatles. It remains only to wish her soloist not to stop at what has already been achieved, so that now the dazzlingly bright star of Svyatoslav Vakarchuk has risen to such a height, in the rays of which he would no longer remember the incorruptible name of John Lenon at his concerts, and looking at him, listening to his songs, the people themselves , Involuntarily would have heard in them already now, an obvious and insistent echo of the legacy of the Beatles' immortal glory ...
