After a relatively subdued "Yeah, Yeah", Skrypka fired some rock bullets to warm up the crowd. First, a set of three nice car songs: "Mashyna", which means car, followed by "Bohy", which is about gods, but has a Ventures-like surf song feel, and then "Rai", which means Paradise, and that's what we call LA LA Land where we live.
The hit song "Pachka Tsiharok" is follwed by "Yura", the chorus to which always sounds to me like "You Rock, You Rock!" The volume went way up and so did the sound distortion on the tape.
