While the crowd waited for Gogol to come on stage, they were entertained by trippy videos, along with hip-hop and world music from Haiti I believe? At least that's what I thought Eugene Hutz said. Gogol Bordello came on at 9:30pm and rock Irving Plaza like they always do! Eugene came out and started to play "Illumination," slowly more members came out to play along...At some point they played "Pala Tute" which is the song they performed with Madonna at Live Earth in 2007. That song I believe, is on their new album.The above review and the pictures here are from Gogol Bordello's March 9th show at Irving Plaza, which Jesse Malin and St. Mark's Social opened.After that, "Not A Crime" was played and the crowd went insane. Same goes with "Wonderlust King." I noticed throughout the concert that Pedro was more involved than the last time I saw the band, and Pamela wasn't really as involved as Elizabeth was. Pedro was playing the drum and bongos a lot more, and the girls were in the background for majority of the set. Eugene is such a unique and energetic frontman that it's hard not to keep your eyes off him. Sergey is an exciting fiddle player as well. Without a doubt, Gogol is still one of the best live acts in the world right now. [Read Junk]
Gogol Bordello have tour dates in North America and Europe scheduled around the release of their new record, Trans-Continental Hustle, which comes out April 27th on American Recordings.

Isn't Jesse Mal in a punk rocker (DGen)? When did he start making crappy music. I guess everyone does sell out.

Gogol, more than anything, is just FUN live.
Leave your hate guys, Gogol is a wonderful experience live.

I have a cousin in Romania. She told me she went to a Gogol Bordello concert when they came to her country. After the concert she read some magazines that reported the event. No one knew who was Gogol and who was Bordello out of the two lead singers. While there, the band has recorded a song with a Romanian singer, a woman, and their collaboration is awesome.

Great article and absolutely fantastic pictures!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing this with us. Wish i could have been there, but I hope to see GB in VT come July 29th. I can't wait to get some gypsy sweat on me! LOL
Now to 11:17 and 2:53 (March 16)What's your problem with gypsy BO, and why the need to call gypsies "dirty and gross"? Obviously you don't have much of a grasp on the progressive music scene. Go look for pics of the "Jonas Brothers" and "Miley Cirus". I'm sure they don't have BO... they're plastic cartoons brought to you by Disney! (right up you alley, ah?) lol

Guggenheim billed it as a performance piece and it was just an installation. Resultingly, the crowd simply waited for the "show" to start, limiting anyone's ability to freely explore the space (the ground floor was packed with indian-style seaters, and the balconies were lined with people holding onto their spots like grim death.
