Moscow

How was playing Red Square in Moscow?

Trippy. They had snipers on roofs. We met Gorbachev. That was incredible. I remember halfway through the show, all of a sudden, Putin walks into the area. He came with his people, his guards. I see this ripple through the middle of the seats. He comes to the center seat, sits down, and watches it. The song we were playing, ironically enough, was “Calico Skies.” That tune is really about the weapons of war we despise. It’s the closest that Paul gets to a protest song.
