Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
Back in 1991, past and then-present members of Yes and various spinoff bands got together and pumped out an album called Union. Rick Wakeman says he calls the album "Onion" because it's so bad he cries whenever he hears something from it. However, the whole lineup did a tour that was straight up superb.
This is the entire lineup that got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years back (Steve Howe and Trevor Rabin - guitars, Bill Bruford and Alan White - drums, Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye - keys, Jon Anderson - lead vocals, and the late great Chris Squire - bass).

So it turns out Alliance was a pretty big band in the USSR. Small studio audience in that, wondering what if any criteria for tickets to that show. Did they have any big concerts? What did a Soviet era concert look like?

During the early 1980s Soviet authorities started to exert heavy pressure on amateur bands, banning underground concerts as a sort of illegal commercial activity, and even imprisoning some music promoters and sound engineers for earning money from underground concerts. At the same time, several rock clubs were established[by whom?] to allow amateur bands to perform legal concerts.

oh.
And that super serious audience?

In Russian, the original meaning of word "рок" is "fate" or "doom". The word is used almost exclusively in fiction, especially poetry (more widely used synonym is "судьба"). These correlate with the poetic roots of Russian rock and its attention to "serious" topics.

It also leaves me mildly saddened with this example of a lot of cultural stuffs lost or unshared for decades due to closed borders. But hey, we got the internet now and a great frontier of cultural sharing dawns, amirite?

This vid would have been considerably better if only the bass player had shown a little enthusiasm.

Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
Prog Rock Dock is a terrific YouTube channel featuring loads of prog concerts and studio music alike. Here's a superb two hours and twenty minutes of Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe from their 1989 tour. Click through to YouTube and in the comments you'll find a complete setlist with timestamps that'll take you anywhere in the set you want to go.
Rick Wakeman, who for reasons passing all understanding was apparently going through a Dog the Bounty Hunter phase, was at the absolute height of his powers at this point in his career. The Wakeman solo starting at 00:18:00 is just spectacular.

Some wild back and forths in the comments from former Soviet people. Daniel Branescu notably.
