Well, Glenn's concert has been a real sensation for the Sakhalin citizens as they rarely get big bands performing on the 'fish island'. Many of the residents only believed that Glenn was really
playing a gig there when he and the guys landed on the island. Glenn was interviewed by some local newspapers to which he told that the guys are like a family to him.A Sakhalin website fishisland.ru had put up a little simple quiz about Glenn. The winner got an exclusive Glenn Hughes t-shirt as a present.
Getting to the gig - onstage Glenn was wearing a black shirt and a purple waistcoat with golden buttons. In general, the gig went on great, and all the guys were kickin' ass. Jeff's solo in the beginning of the performance was very well recieved by the fans, as well as Mark's solo a bit later. People in the audience hardly believed anyone could play drums so fast.
In the end of the show the insatiable crowd stood up from their seats and yelled: "Glenn! Glenn!" That's success.
After quite a while the band was back onstage to play 'Burn' as the encore.
When the band finished the gig, a girl from the crowd managed to get through the strict security and get up onstage to give a bouquet of flowers to Glenn.
She obviously felt blessed to be there near the band, so she took her
chance and kissed everyone who was onstage before she got kicked off.
After the gig a bunch of fans bought some vodka, met the band and the crew in the hotel and had a good drunken night together. There were some random girls (not even fans) too. One of them later claimed that she can't understand how people can listen to Papa's music. Unlike the most of the guys, Glenn had gone to bed.
When heading to the next town, Khabarovsk, Glenn had a little trouble with getting through the metal detector in the airport, so that a female officer of the security control got a unique chance to 'touch a legend'.
To my mind the set-list was pretty great:
- Sto
rmbringer - Тhe Valiant Denial
- Orion
- Land Of The Livin' (Wonderland)
- Mistreated + 3 minutes' guitar intro
- Coast To Сoast
- You Got Soul
- Don't Let Me Bleed
- You Keep On Movin'
- Steppin' on
11. Burn

2 peeps feel the love:
Я так понимаю, Вы русская и я могу писать по русски.
1. Где Вы взяли мои фотографии с концерта в Южно-Сахалинске?
2. С чего Вы взяли, что я не являюсь любителем музыки Гленна?
3. "One of them later claimed that she can't understand how people can listen to Papa's music" Да, я рассказывала Гленну о своем отце и говорила, что именно мой отец передал мне любовь к музыке Хьюза!
Откуда у Вас столько неверных сведений?
Thank God there's at least the one me who can read Russian here. Well here we go...

- Again the superiority complex thing... As for 'Papa' - LOL! Look into your knowledge of English, my dear...
Have a nice life and don't think strangers care of you as much as you do. Cheers!
