Rocking in Russia
NZPA-AP Moscow Russians showed they were far from being Red squares as they rocked at the week-end to the British band, Big Country. The smiles on the faces of soldiers dancing in their khaki uniforms in Moscow’s Palace of Sports Ice Rink showed that the new era of glasnost (openness) is well under way. For the first time at a rock concert in Moscow, the audience was allowed to dance. At earlier concerts, where British banks such as ÜB4O have played in Russia, the audiences have been kept firmly in their seats. Big Country’s lead singer, Stuart Adamson, clambered off the stage to revel with his young audience. The crowds were delighted.
