announced. The sound was not very good.Right in the end of the first song, Stormbringer, the music suddenly stopped, but Mark went on playing an amazing drum solo. Then a Russian promoter guy went out onstage and had to apologize for the pause, because as he stated: "The building of Music Comedy is very old and rock concerts are not good for it. The electricity had gone down". No doubt it had! That far east land had never seen Big Daddy kickin' ass! That was the first time a thing like that had ever happened in Khabarovsk. While the electrical tech was being awaited, some people started wondering if there're electricians in the crowd. Impatient fans moved from their seats сloser to the stage. After 15 minutes of annoying noises from the amps the trouble was fixed and the show went on with even bigger rush and great sound!
There were all ki
nds of music fans in the 60% packed venue, all of them rockin' out: mostly drunk well-on in life men dressed in straight jackets, but, well, youngsters too. Everybody was on fire and eager to get as close to the stage as possible. Sadly, only about a hundred people in the crowd knew the lyrics of "You Keep On Movin'" so they could sing along.

The security was strict and pretty dumb, well, like elsewhere While Glenn was having a little break and drinking water, the promoter's representative called Alexey went out onstage to pass on some warm words from Glenn to the audience in Russian, so everyone could understand. Also, he apologized for the electricity troubles once again. Well the gig went on smoothly and was over in 2 hours.
Some fans w
ho'd come to see the gig from Jewish Autonomous Oblast were let in the dressing room after a while and got to talk to Glenn and the guys despite their really poor English. He told them about the plans of collaboration with David Coverdale in the nearest future.

Then Papa got up on a black jeep and went to the hotel for some rest.

By the way, there was quite a big confusion at the Khabarovsk press-conference - there was NO translator at all! (What a shame, I should have been there). The local press' representatives had hard times remembering their English lessons in school.
The pictures below are the boys and the leader of the local band that was going to be the opening act for GH, but they ended up not being on the bill.
