Our final show of the 2016 Russian tour was in the city of Stavropol, and we had a very difficult time getting into the place where we would play.
Last night we played our 2nd to last show in Russia in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don. We worked closely with an amazing local church who had been inspired to do the show in part by reading David’s book “Rock Priest.”
We rolled into the historic city of Volgograd formerly called Stalingrad. It is called the "Heroic City" because of the battle of Stalingrad, which claimed the lives of nearly 2 million people.
Yesterday we left at 6am to beat the traffic out of Moscow and get to Voronezh as quickly as possible, as it was about 6 hours away.
We came into Moscow, the city of 20 million, and pulled up at the biggest church in the entire country (possibly in the Russian-speaking world), Word Of Life.
Yesterday we played in an amazing venue on the Nevsky prospekt (avenue) called the Coliseum Arena.
Pskov was one of the biggest concerts we played last year, and this year was no different.
After spending 11 hours at the border we came to the same city, and same spot that our tour began in last year. We set up in a large parking lot next to a shopping center.
We drove about 10 minutes from the place we were staying, to a prison located in the center of the city. This was a prison known for high discipline, and was known as “the hole”.
Yesterday was our final show in Lithuania in a smaller city, in what appeared to be the central square next to a beautiful park.
After meeting up again with our local organizer Remus, who we worked with last year, we pulled into Vilnius, and saw the incredible venue we had been given:
We had a long drive ahead of us to Mrogowa, Poland. Add to that some difficulties with a GPS in one of the vans, and we arrived into town about an hour behind schedule.
