The performance
By the band's own history, Podolsk was the peak of its live career: the strongest lineup the group ever had, Rautkin swinging his mic stand, and Bogaev finishing the set by smashing his "Ural" guitar on the stage. The concert was recorded and later circulated and released as the live album "Concert in Podolsk". Read the full story in the band history.
