Gogol Bordello @ Terminal 5 - 12.31.07

They say a picture's worth a thousand words.
Well, here go 25,000...
This last photo was at the end when everyone seemingly started to rush the stage (at the encouragement of Eugene and pals).


And a short video to round things off.
I do have a great video of GB performing Zina Marina in its entirety, but the mean people at blogger have capped my video limit at 200 mb and alas, it's a smidgeon larger than that. So you all will have to content yourself w/the above pics and this short clip below.



As for what i thought of the show, hey, it's Gogol Bordello, one is always guaranteed a good time. My only complaint - the venue. Terminal 5 is just not my favorite as far as sound goes...which considering none of us are going there for the visuals, is quite a problem. I don't know if it's something that can be fixed or if it's just a structural thing that we're stuck with, but I'll definitely have to have a good think on whether to see a band there again. If you stand in the balcony, the sound can be ok, but if you want to be part of the hoi polloi in the pit, the sound is just atrocious.
