One of the best live shows I've ever experienced

If you ever have a chance to go see Gogol Bordello live, go see em. You don't even need to be a fan of their music and you will still have a good time.

I hadn't even heard of them when my teen daughter asked if we could go. To this day I've never had more fun at a show.

I would compare them to Flaming Lips in the way that you can see them without knowing anything and have a great time.

One of the highlights of my concert-going experiences was seeing them live and singing along to this song. It was so fun!

I saw them open for System of a Down many years ago, and this was the song that the crowd was vibing too. I had this one album, but after seeing them live I bought all their CDs.

I was lucky to snake my way into college radio in the mid/late 90’s. In college, but no business being in radio! 😂

I got this on a promo and fell in love with it instantly. Saw them a few years later. Top notch.

I had a college radio show in ‘06-‘07 and I pulled this album to throw on a song. Start Wearing Purple had two stars next to it and I’ve been jamming to it ever since.

The best dude I ever met showed me Gogol and it became our theme song. I wear purple a lot to remember him 💜
