Vladivostok 22-23.02.2007

As I've mentioned above, Glenn and Jeff had to stay in Vladivostok for a day due to the bad weather before going to the first town of the tour, while the rest of the gang was 'chilling' in the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk airport.
They stayed in the 'Visit-Vladivostok' hotel, and had a meal at a restaurant called '12 Chairs'. As reported by local media the owner of the place is a big Deep Purple fan, so he laid quite a royal table for the guys with loads of seafood on it.
However, Glenn says he almost didn't eat anything on the first 3 days of the tour except breakfasts, so obviously the seafood wasn't as good as the locals think.
Meanwhile, having a day-off in Vladivostok, Jeff Kollman didn't find anything better to do then getting to know amazing Russian soul even better, as he was messing with local chicks he'd picked up in a bar.
On Thursday February 22th Glenn flew back to Vladivostok from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, bringing his wonderful European crew of 10 people with him.
The capital of the coastland is the second town Glenn's played during the Russian+CIS tour. Bringing 2 bass amps with him on the tour, Papa would kick ass every night.
Before the gig, on the 23th of February, Glenn was interviewed by a local radio station "VBC". A few fans who came to the hotel to get some stuff signed and hand their own CDs to him, were left with 'indescribable impressions' of Papa's outgoingness.The show itself started with just 10 minutes' delay and was warmly recieved by the local audience. The music drove the people crazy, and got them back into the 70s.Glenn presented 'Mistreated' as the song he had recorded with Ritchie Blackmore... You know it sounds breathtaking when Glenn sings it...
Plectrums were being thrown straight to the audience, though at most of the shows Glenn was dropping them down on the stage, and after the gig Pascal the tech was throwing them to the crowd.
This concert will surely take a considerable place in the heart of everyone who was there.

There's a 1-hour fan bootleg video of the gig including these songs:

• - Stormbringer (the last verse)
• - Orion
• - Land Of The Livin' (Wonderland)
• - Mistreated
• - You Got Soul
• - Might just take your life
• - Gettin' tighter (the 1st and the last verse)
• - You keep on movin'
• - Soul mover
• - Burn

As for the set-list, it was almost the same as the Petropavlovk-Kamchatskiy one. I am not absolutely sure yet, but to what I've heard the set list was like that. I doubt if there really were 'Coast To Coast' and 'Steppin' On' tho. I'll post the correct set list as soon as I know it.
