632.0. "Moscow Peace Festival" by BREW11::WICKETT (T.W.A. Coffee sir?) Mon Aug 14 1989 07:21

    
    What did you lot think of the Moscow concert yesterday.
    I thought it was not very good untill The Scorpions came on.
    I was most upset about how bad Skid Row looked live i have there
    album and it is very good.But they did not live up to iot at all.
    Gorgy Park (i think thats how you spell it were trash.They did a
    cover of my generation and nobody in the pub knew what it was untill
    half way through.Cinderella wre not much better either.Then the
    old man himself came on Mr osborne.I must say he had a first rate
    band (As usual) but he still cant sing.
    Motly Crew bored me to death.Bon Jovi were quite good in parts.
    Then all the bands came on with different members and did a few
    numbers.Did anybody notice the drummer on Rock & Roll i think it
    was Jasson Bonnem but i would like to know if this is correct.
    The Scorpions were Brill as usual they wre profesional and sound
    a lot better then any of the other bands.It a shame that they only
    showed about 20 mins of them on SKY T.V.

    I saw most of the concert on SKY One last night but had to tape
    the Scorpions & Bum Jovi.  I will watch it tonight and give MHO.

    Well Westford doesn't even have PAY PER VIEW!!!! Gimme a break!!
    
    Did Motley Crue do any of their new stuff??
    
    I listened to most of it and the sets seemed short.  I missed
    some Crue and Ozzy but I thought it sounded good from what I heard.
    
632.4......DELNI::BISHOPMon Aug 14 1989 16:255
    I agree that the show wasn't all that great up until the Scorpions
    came on.   I also enjoyed the Crue and Bon Jovi.  Ozzy didn't sound
    that bad!  All in all I guess it was worth watching.

    Klaus and the boys play in Russia a lot, so I am sure he knows some
    Russian.  The performance by the Scorps says a lot about them. 
    They kicked butt (or so I hear) during the Monsters tour, and they
    kicked butt in Russia.

632.7Oh well, the effort was thereBUFFER::GOLDSMITHMon Aug 14 1989 20:1414
    	As an ex-Russian tourist, I can tell you that the Russians speak
    more English than you think.  Especially the kids.  Probably about 75%
    of the kids speak fairly fluent, and those were the people at the show.
    	Not much new music was played by anyone mostly because most of the 
    people who had the good fortune to get a rare American tape, chances
    are it was an older one.
    	As far as the concert, I heard it on the radio, and I thought it 
    stunk for the most part.  The Scorpions, I have to agree were the best
    act.  Followed by Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Ozzy, and a mess between 
    Cinderella, Skid Row, and Gorky Park.  Did you hear the keyboards on
    Ozzy's Crazy Train?  I almost puked.  
    	Oh, and it was Jason Bonham on drums for the jam at the end.

632.8My opinions of the eventPFLOYD::ROTHBERGLudicrous speed ... GO!!!!Tue Aug 15 1989 02:5221
                
                
                scorps definately  ruled the event, both in sound
                and performance.   bon  jovi  came next though it
                was not even a  close  second place.  motley crue
                was awful, vince looked and  sounded  like he was
                tired and out of breath even  before  the  end of
                the  first  song.    Ozzy's voice kept  cracking,
                Cinderella [as much as I don't like their  music]
                was   better  than  both  the  previous  bands  I
                mentioned.     Gorky  and  Skid  Row  ...    ugh,
                horrible.  I  did  think it somewhat amusing when
                Cinderella was trying to  get  the  crowd to sing
                and  there was dead silence  when  it  was  their
                turn.  So he tried it  again,  but  turned to the
                camera before doing so and said, "This  is HIGHLY
                experimental."
                
                Cheers, Rob
                
632.9A few thoughtsNEEPS::IRVINEThe Thing That Should Not BeTue Aug 15 1989 08:3810
    Most of what I had to say has already been said!  But, was it my
    imagination or did Richie Sambora's vocals sound better than JBJ.
    
    I was more than a little disappointed with BJ playing only 4 songs,
    and the abscence of JBJ during the jam at the end.  To me the MVP
    goes to The Scorpions & Richie Sambora.  It was good to see Jason
    Bohnam, but sadly he is never going to be the Drummer that his father
    was.(IMHO)

    Hey Bonzo, whenever I've seen BJ I've always been more impressed
    with Ritchie Sambora's vocals than JBJ.
