The reason we were there that night was to watch a screening of the movie shot at last year's "Tamsta Muzika Festivalis", it happens every year and this year it will be just before I leave to go back to Colorado...so much like how I got on a plane to come to Lithuania int he first place, I will be leaving a concert to board a plane with no sleep, and will wake up in Warsaw once again with a sense that something is missing.
It's a lot like Woodstock, but in Lithuanian. The film takes us on the trip to the festival and setting up a tent in the camp grounds nearby, and then its on to the music. We get backstage interviews and performance footage galore. There are two stages and the bands span from just starting out, to classic (read old) acts that were the first on the scene when the communists left (and before, only underground).
The movie is rad, and afterword some of the the bands from the festival put on a little show at the club. The stars were what i like to think of as the Lithuanian Eagles...classic (old).
