The Bodhisattvas of Babylon

4th and 5th Festivals of the Rock Club (4 и 5 фестиваль рок-клуба)

Generally good quality recording from the fourth and fifth annual festivals at the Leningrad Rock Club. Great set list for the 1986 festival drawn primarily from 10 Arrows (indeed for all I know the versions of "Tram," "Host," and "Hard Coal" may be one and the same), while the 1987 set is mostly songs that never made it onto albums. Dzhrew would highly approve of the super-extendo 15-minute version of "Don't Waste Time" that closes Side B, but to the detriment of his lingam he's never heard it.

First released in 1986.

Review by Dzhon

Gurus Play Q & A (NB: this may be way over your head):

Q. Last song on Side A, "Everything That We Are," is cut off halfway through. Wondering, O Web-masters, where else, if anywhere, this song crops up? - Dzhon

A. According to our database, this song only appears on this tape, oh Dzhon of Mighty "Всё, что мы есть" lingham - Dzhrew

Q. Same goes for "Wild Honey." - Dzhon

A. According to the database, WH exists on my tape of the 1st and 2nd Rock Club festivals, nowhere else…14 lists it as a b-side during the Radio Africa era. Ah, the power of 14. -Dzhrew
