One thing that was really obvious about the Gogol Bordello concert in Fort Lauderdale was that the place was packed.  The crowd was as numerous as they were wild. From the first note from Yuri Lemeshev’s accordion to the final thank you at the end of the night, the crowd gave themselves away to the Gypsy Punk Kings. After the show was done the floors of Revolution (One of the very few places that you can see good concerts in South Florida.) were wet with sweat as well as the walls decorated with Shepherd Farley’s prints.

One thing that you have to know about Gogol Bordello is that even when they have a leader in Eugene Hütz, there are several charismatic lead men and women. From the beginning of the show this fact was obvious, when the spot light was shared by Hütz, violinist Sergey Ryabtsev and Percussionist Pedro Erazo. Several High points of the show had to do with dancers Pamela Racine and Elizabeth Sun taking center stage, by either singing or helping the band out with the percussion.

The show was a little under two hours, but by looking at the crowd, it seemed like they just came back from a whole day festival.

It’s not secret that Gogol Bordello is a great live band. I’ve missed the twice before in Bonnaroo Music Festival and Austin City Limits. That’s a mistake I would try not to ever do again.
