In 1972 James Last was invited to the Soviet Union as one of the very first groups from the west. The orchestra toured in Tiblis, Kiev, Leningrad and Moscow.

This video clip starts with showing a football match at the *Lenin stadium in Moscow, between the two Moscow teams Spartak and ZSK Moscow. We can also see some members of the James Last orchestra doing some playback at the arena. The later part of the video shows the same arena in the evening , when James Last had a concert there (there is also some parts from other concerts during the tour mixed in).

We can hear James Last play the very last part of the concert, which was a "Non stop dancing" medley.

The concert tour was a sucess.
