This video was filmed in Belgrade, Serbia during HORSE the band's 2008 "Earth Tour" which was self-funded, self-booked and traversed 45 countries in 90 days. http://www.horsethebandearthtour.com
The
...
show was packed with crazed Serbian power drinkers who had spent all day gorging themselves on 5 pound hamburgers and chugging 3-liter beers. They had come from far and wide. These were rural wildmen. Hill people.
The venue was a cramped, smoky dungeon, with an overflowing bathroom, no security, terrible sound and a tiny stage that emptied onto a slimy concrete staircase, which would serve as a battleground for the hundred or so fanatics in attendance.
From the first note, it was nonstop anarchy, a heaving tangle of violence and hilarity as brutish men and merciless women performed a ferocious dance of death, hurling themselves and their opponents to the floor, tearing steel fences from the ground, destroying the few functioning light fixtures, removing their clothes, and coming dangerously close to ruining HORSE's equipment and ending the tour. It was a beautiful moment in time. Likely the best show of the entire voyage.
A small slice of the seminal 10.5 hour-long Rock Odyssey that serves as an eternal "in your face" to all other bands.
