I received this is many years ago and haven’t seen this posted anywhere, so i wanted to share my copy. BB played several shows in each city. This could be from late Feb or early March. This was BB’s first trip to the USSR and BB was very nervous about performing to this new audience. It didn’t take long for BB to win over the Russians, they enjoyed the music. I know the intro is little weird here because ussr was very strict with drugs but in America they were illegal too, the diference was that in ussr you could be treaty as an human beign and have all the basic things in life while California started to be what is it today, one the places with more homeless of the planet, capitalism is garbage, and our channel is constantly threatened by it
these are wetern artists acting in the East, local bands have to be uploaded to the secondary channel because many of their rights are in hands of modern anti russian discographs and they can strike us
