Roger Waters, Us + Them, Moscow 2018

September 2, 2018February 24, 2019Posted in Music PhotographyTagged art, inspiration, music, photography, pinkfloyd, rogerwatersLeave a comment

Roger Waters in Moscow yesterday! Definitely one of the best concerts I have ever seen! Everything was amazing, sound, music, setlist which contained Pink Floyd classics and songs from Roger’s new album, show with so many interesting details. Roger almost cried and said in the end of the show after 10 minutes ovation “It’s getting very emotional”. And yes. It was very-very emotional! Of course it’s impossible to hide from politics at Roger’s shows. But he has a right to share his views even if they are controversial sometimes. Overall it was truly unforgettable experience!

The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia

The 2018 FIFA World Cup is taking place in 11 Russian cities this year. Football fans and tourists traveled to Russian cities from all over the world to see their teams, matches and simply enjoy this great atmosphere. The atmosphere is unbelievably friendly. I think even if a person isn’t interested in football at all, he/she will enjoy those World Cup vibes of unity that can be felt by everyone. It’s a very pleasant feeling to see almost all nations together singing and dancing in the streets finally having forgot about politics and wars.

Zabivaka (Russian: Goalscorer) is the official mascot of the World Cup. It represents a very cute wolf which became very popular among football fans.

People are literally dancing and singing everywhere in the streets (even in fountains). You can hear so many different tunes, national songs of every country etc. I’m definitely going to miss that!

There were many unusual ways of traveling to Russia. For example, Iceland fans arrived to Russia in a Lada Niva (Russian car which they won in lottery in Iceland). Fan from Germany and his cute dog came to Russia in a tractor. But the most amazing story is connected with Argentinian cyclist Maty Amaya who left home in 2012 and since then has been traveling by bicycle for 5 years, crossed 37 countries and 80000 km. And finally he is in Moscow, enjoying World Cup. I don’t usually take pictures of myself because I prefer being on the other side of the camera. But I couldn’t resist temptation of having a picture with him 😊

The World Cup is not only about football. It’s also about unity, understanding different culture and getting new experience. For example, there was a Mexican festival which showed their beautiful culture and traditions including Day of the Dead celebrations. Mexican House attracts thousands of visitors from all corners of the planet everyday.

Peru House located in the Manege Moscow exhibition centre showcased the best of the country, highlighted the South American nation’s culture including Shaman rituals, art, gastronomy top tourism destinations and leading exports.

Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup and introduced their culture and traditions in Moscow.

FIFA World Football Museum hosted several exhibitions in Moscow. By the way, ball on the 1st picture was used in final match between France 🇫🇷 and Croatia 🇭🇷 in Moscow.⚽️

And this picture is probably one of my favorite ones. It shows the real meaning of such events as World Cup.

Rosco Levee in Moscow! Great show by a very talented British Blues musician who combines blues, country rock, rock’n’roll very successfully. His expressive vocals are covering a wide range of emotions playing his own great songs and songs by Blues Legends such as Robert Johnson or B.B. King.

Tony Remy is an extraordinary guitarist whose playing draws on many different guitar styles. Yesterday Tony showed us his own rhythmically driven approach which is rich with jazz, fusion, funk, blues and even hard rock. His live performance was remarkable with a great amount of energy.

The band sounded incredible, very detailed and clear! Many thanks to Roman and Anton!

Tony has enviable reputation on the international jazz and blues scene having recorded and toured with Freddy Hubbard, Gary Barlow, Simply Red, Annie Lennox and many others.

This spring the entire Moscow is singing! A Cappella International Festival takes place in the city as a part of the Moscow Seasons street events. Solo performers and vocal groups from all over the world are singing at the most unusual concert venues across city.

Harry Potter WB Studio Tour “Hogwarts in the snow”

It was a great and unusual experience to spend some time at Hogwarts before Christmas and discover how film-makers created fire, ice and snow. The spectacular Great Hall was decorated with many festive details and covered in silver sparkling snow. Two large tables were set for Christmas dinner with prop versions of roast turkeys, puddings surrounded by real flames. The Great Hall stage was decorated as it was for the iconic Yule Ball. The top section of the Great Hall was transformed with snow-covered Christmas trees, icicles and an orchestra of magical instruments.

The Gryffindor Common Room and Boys’ Dormitory were decorated with the original props including handmade Christmas cards, and other small and cute festive details.

The Burrow, the home of the Weasley family, looked very cozy and Christmassy.

The Hogwarts Express locomotive appeares in all of the Harry Potter films. The train brings new and returning students from London to Hogwarts. To create the Hogwarts Express, the filmmakers rescued an abandoned steam locomotive named Olton Hall (built in 1937).

Of course, it’s necessary to try butterbeer which tastes like a mix of cream soda and lemonade with delicious butterscotch cream on top.

There was outside area too where you could see Knight Bus for example.

Number four, Privet Drive, is the residence of the Dursleys and Harry Potter.

The Diagon Alley set was changed for the winter season too. The original design of the street combined the rich details from the Harry Potter books with inspiration from the streets described in the works of Charles Dickens.
