Will our local anti-Russian poster Mob come back to say "I told you so"?
Well if he does he's gonna get a lot of shit thrown at him ... by me.
Russia has to deal with more terrorism then western countries so the beefed up security isn't out of the ordinary.
This is very true.
From U2 360 Setlists, Tour Dates, Reviews & Photos at U2tours.com
U2 plays its first concert in Russia. Fans enter to a stadium that's heavy on police and security. Before the show, U2 learns that police have shut down Greenpeace, ONE Campaign, and Amnesty International booths outside the stadium and detained several Amnesty volunteers on the grounds that they were picketing illegally. They're later released without charge. Inside, it rains heavily for the first half of the show, prompting Bono to sing about the rain several times. All of the new songs except 'Stingray' are dropped for this new audience. Yuri Shevchuk, singer of Russian band DDT, joins the band on stage for Knocking on Heaven's Door. Mikhail Gorbachev is in attendance.
Good band.
