King Diamond: Live in Russia. Gorbunov Cultire Palace, Moscow, Russia. 05.05.06

Description

For this review I prefer to use the taper’s one: Finally, for the first time ever, the King paid a visit to Moscow. The venue was almost packed, no wonder ‘cause I bet there were quite a few people who could not attend the show in St. Pete couple years back. Anyways, we all heard that King’s voice is not like it used to be and it was exactly what we heard in the beginning of the show, but later on he gained his voice back and the rest of the show shredded! The band performance was fabulous, and of course seeing Andy was great as well for sure! Strangely enough the band did not perform ‘So Sad’ from their standard tour setlist, but they did perform 2 songs more than they did the night before in St. Pete. This day the entire Russia was mourning the victims of the plane crash and many people I know were afraid the gig to be cancelled but it was not. On track 4 you can hear King asking the audience for a minute of silence. The recording came out really enjoyable! The crowd is really great here as well!
