The legendary rock band DDT has finally brought its long-awaited concert program “The History of Sound” to Moscow. The musicians performed on the stage of the Olimpiysky sports complex for the first time in six years. More than thirty songs reflect the entire history of the band, which is 38 years long. Read more in the MIR 24 material.

Long wait

We had to wait quite a long time for the concert, and this was not the fault of the musicians, but because of the organizers. They forgot to warn the audience about the need to get a special bracelet. As a result, people were forced to stand in the rain for two or even three lines of several thousand people each. They walked very slowly: in 20 minutes they managed to walk about 10 meters. The DDT group went to the meeting, the concert began 40 minutes later, but the queues did not end even after that. Eyewitnesses also reported a mass brawl, but this information. Some rock music fans had to wait one and a half to two hours. As a result, they were only able to see half of the concert.

The organizers did not explain the reason. According to spectators, 10-20 people were allowed in at the entrance, after which the volunteers took a “break.” People reacted to the delay differently: some compared the queue with the famous queue for the exhibition, some called on Yuri Shevchuk to go out and hold a concert right on the street, some threatened the organizers with a lawsuit for poor quality of services. did not lose heart and encouraged each other with songs from their favorite band.

The long-awaited concert began with a greeting from the leader of the group. Shevchuk went on stage and told what songs the audience would hear. According to him, the setlist successfully combines history and mythology legendary group. “Welcome to the historic party of the DDT group. Thank you for spending your money on this harsh days. We won’t talk much, we will sing: there will be old and new songs. It will probably not be some kind of history, but mythology, because even now everyone is engaged not in history, but in mythology. Well, that’s it, thank you, friends,” Shevchuk said and gave a signal to the musicians.

Songs about freedom

DDT started the concert with an instrumental introduction. The lights of big cities were visible on the screens from the plane window. The airliner, which flew around the world, seemed to invite viewers on a journey through the history of the group. It was dark on the stage and only Shevchuk himself could be seen. Only on the next song, “Remember” (album, 2014), the stage lit up with light, and the audience saw the band itself - keyboardist Konstantin Shumailov, guitarist Alexei Fedichev, drummer Artem Mamai, bassist Roman Nevelev, trombonist Anton Vishnyakov and, of course, the backing band. vocalist Alena Romanova. Meanwhile, on the screen, the journey around the world continued and solar system through the eyes of a child. The video series ended with a photograph of the first members of the group, thereby reminding the viewer of main topic this concert - “History of Sound”.

Having played two relatively new compositions, DDT decided to remember those highly social compositions that brought her fame in the 1980s. - “the times when,” according to Shevchuk, “port wine cost twenty rubles, and toilet paper“Probably not even Brezhnev.” This part of the concert opened with the lively song “Born in the USSR”, which replaced the minor “Remember”. At the end of the composition, both Shevchuk and Romanova started dancing. The band then reminisced about their rock 'n' roll past and began playing "Policeman in a Rock Club." A satirical and light song about an internal affairs officer who fell into hippie society was replaced by the heavy “Conveyor,” during which viewers were able to see Shevchuk in overalls. The medley of songs from the era of stagnation was continued by “Snake Petrov”. Naturally, the snake in the video turned out to be green - bottles and glasses replaced each other to an almost bardic accompaniment.

Shevchuk moved from the everyday work of the Soviet intelligentsia to those whom he, like the entire rock community of that time, sincerely hated. Young people appeared on the screen gym with a characteristic expression on their faces, she began to play “Mom, I love Lyuber.” The theme was continued by “Major Boys”, only this time not on “father’s Volgas”, but on completely . The crowd on the screens applauded them no less than in the late 80s.

The “Revolution” became a symbol of the new trends to which Soviet society was doomed at that time. in August 1991, against the backdrop of “La Marseillaise,” which DDT quoted, it was replaced by “Time.” A real protest march ignited the crowd, which Shevchuk himself egged on; all together they sang about how “everyone is having a blast.” The audience continued to sing at the waltz “Leningrad” - a song that also reflected the features of the band’s biography, as the video sequence reminded.

War and Peace

The social theme was replaced by another the main problem creativity of DDT - war and peace. Before “Don’t Shoot,” Shevchuk also remembered Chechnya. This problem is still relevant today, he recalled. “There is little love, there are many people who want to butt heads. In St. Petersburg they have already prepared for the blockade, 300 g of rations,” Shevchuk said.

I decided to sweeten the bitter pill for the audience: the anti-war anthem was replaced by the major key “It’s Spring’s Blame.” Then the guitarist replaced the electric guitar with a ukulele, and Shevchuk sang the autobiographical “I got this role” to the views of St. Petersburg on the screens, and soon returned to the problem of the world: “New blockade survivors,” “Russian Spring” and “Plastun.” “Premonition of Civil War” was accompanied by a video sequence that was also reminiscent of footage from “The Wall” groups Pink Floyd, and the work of Salvador Dali. The anti-war set was completed by the touching “Boys” with photos of participants in the Chechen campaign.

Shevchuk decided to dilute the further program, designed in the same highly social vein, with a couple of hits. At “Meteli” the hall began to sing again, and couples began to circle around the dance floor. The lyrical ballad was replaced by rock militants “Into Battle” and “We”, periodically interrupted by Shevchuk’s recitative (at a press briefing after the concert, Yuri Yulianovich admitted that he has great sympathy for rap). This was followed by “They Came for You” and the melancholic “Ceiling”. The St. Petersburg house well on the screen turned into spaceship, traveling across the sky, which is what the ceiling in the song turned into.

Long live Love!

Shevchuk put the acoustics aside and began to sing “He lived for many years, he lived for many winters” - under the amazing beauty of the solo on the keys, “Love” sounded. The leader of DDT again decided to sing with the audience: the audience, at his call, picked up “O-o-o-o.” On the screens, meanwhile, beautiful maidens waltzed against the backdrop of white birch trees, and gray-haired elders turned into mustachioed officers.

The slow composition was replaced by the famous “Night-Lyudmila”, to the accompaniment of a trombone and cheerful rock and roll, the auditorium, and Shevchuk himself with backing vocalist Alena. Romanova read a touching poem in between the rhythmic choruses. Following Alena, other members of the group performed solos: Nevelev and Vishnyakov performed a brilliant jazz solo for bass guitar and trombone. Lyrical theme was continued with the song “New Heart,” which was accompanied on the screen by a countdown to our time, and the poem “When One.” I picked up the acoustics again and dedicated the next composition to women. “I Appreciate Your Courage to Make Tea” is a simple and at the same time surprisingly sweet hymn to the fair sex.

Then the leader of DDT decided to communicate with the audience, erupting in a high-pitched “ooaaah.” The audience repeated these sounds after their idol for two minutes, until the next hit sounded - “In the Last Autumn”. The singing audience also rejoiced at the next song about “how two men went to war” - “Whistled.” The hits were followed by the ironic “Pogrom” - on the screens, viewers saw what musicians do on tour and that you can play the trombone backwards. The cheerful composition was replaced by the piercing “Wind”. Shevchuk in this song decided to remember all his colleagues in the shop - from stars like Alexander Bashlachev, Mike Naumenko, Viktor Tsoi, Sergei Kuryokhin, Yuri Klinskikh and Gorshka to former musicians DDT – Nikita Zaitsev and Igor Dotsenko. The audience paid tribute to the memory of the musicians with flashlights on their phones.

Russian and Soviet rockers fought for the most important thing - for freedom, Shevchuk emphasized and sang “Song of Freedom”. Traditional Russian rock was replaced by the unexpectedly electronic “Love Is Not Lost.” However, the psychedelic pictures on the screen were reminiscent of the rock and roll era. This composition, which was received ambiguously in the audience, almost became the last one in the setlist, but suddenly a mysterious young man in a cap appeared on stage. The chords of “Rain”, familiar from childhood, began to sound, and the dancer began to move to the beat of the music, which surprised the audience. According to Shevchuk himself, he found Ilya Durapov on YouTube, contacted him and invited him to a Moscow concert. It is still unknown whether the dancer will take part in new shows.

The musicians bowed to the audience and left the stage, but the fans were in no hurry to leave the Olimpiysky. After a two-minute break, the guitarist and keyboard player first appeared on stage, and then Shevchuk himself. Having sung “Motherland,” the leader of DDT talked with the audience for a while, and then sang, probably main song in his work - “That’s all.” The cameramen pointed their cameras at the auditorium, which was lit up with thousands of lights. Shevchuk once again said goodbye to the audience, reminding them of the main thing in this life - Peace and Love.

The best songs from the most iconic albums of the legendary band - from its founding to the present day - are for the first time combined into one program, an extended version of which will be performed at grand concerts on March 5, 2017 in Moscow, on the stage of the Olimpiysky Sports Complex and on March 11, 2017 in their native Petersburg, within the walls of the SKK.

For many, DDT concerts are a sign of the quality of live music. And this time the group is ready to present its legendary sound, its interesting visual and lighting solutions in both capitals.

The group has been working towards these large-scale concerts, it seems, all their lives. Having long ago mastered the largest venues in the country with high-tech shows, destroying stereotypes about Russian rock, they reached the most hidden meanings and floated to the surface again “born in the USSR”: uniting millions of people who speak the same language and live in the largest country in the world. Without exaggeration, the program of selected songs by the DDT group is the main rock event of the decade; the program consists of three parts - across three eras of the legendary band. An impressive tour across the country, which millions of fans of the group are waiting for, will end with a grand concert in St. Petersburg. The track list includes the songs “Don’t Shoot”, “Last Autumn”, “That’s All”, “Major Boys”, “I Got This Role”, “Whistled”, “Wind”, “Motherland”, “Eyes” and other well-known compositions.

The sound of the group has changed dramatically during its existence: from rhythm and blues to industrial and indie music. Sometimes it became more decisive, sometimes more voluminous and lyrical. The repertoire included philosophical waltzes, rock ballads, satirical fables, and poetic readings. DDT show programs include several special trailers with equipment, huge screens with colorful video art and conceptual multimedia installations. But the main thing for which DDT is loved remains unchanged - their interest and love for people in this difficult time of change.

Yuri Shevchuk has always occupied a special niche in Russian rock. The main milestones in the life of the leader of DDT can be described by a simple listing of songs that became popular throughout the country.

Written in 1981 in Ufa, the song “Rain” is probably the earliest of all DDT’s hits. We all remember the pacifist song “Don’t Shoot!” (1982). They say it was then that the group adopted its “chemical” name. “I got this role” - a bitter confession young man late Soviet era(1984). In “Leningrad” there was a joyful anticipation of change (1987). "Premonition" Civil War"Written in 1988 immediately after the funeral of Alexander Bashlachev. Shevchuk wrote the bitter hit “Motherland” in 1989 after reading brilliant novel Boris Pasternak "Doctor Zhivago". The text included “black headlights at the neighboring gate,” “a crowded scaffold,” and a verse about “God the Father.” Later in 1991, DDT recorded the song “Born in the USSR”, reacting to the collapse of the Union, which had long become a meme. And only in 1992 the notorious “What is Autumn” brought Shevchuk a massive people's love. The second hit about his beloved city “Black Dog Petersburg” (1992) is real Russian blues, heavy and gloomy. Another hit was the beautiful song “You are not alone,” for which a memorable video was shot with a truck driver and a running dog. There is not a single passable song in the album “That’s All” (1994). The most famous song about the Chechen war - " Dead city. Christmas" (1995). The song “Love” (1995) was born from Shevchuk’s flight to the village - so as not to go crazy from what he saw in Chechnya.

You can continue to list the names of your favorite songs that are familiar to everyone, it is important to understand that together with them we managed to live in three different eras, to survive the impossible, it seems, they have learned to live again - in a new time and a new reality.

In the spring of 2017, you will get a rare opportunity to hear all your favorite songs in one concert, which have not been performed for a very long time, but, in the opinion of the musicians, are still relevant today.

“We are glad that the program happened - we had the opportunity to expand the boundaries of meaning and make our musical fields experimental. the main task- place all the songs that we want to play within the boundaries of one concert...”, says Yuri Shevchuk.

"History of Sound" – concert program"", the premiere of which is scheduled for September 2016. The tour of the same name will take place mainly in Russian cities. The tour route of Yuri Shevchuk’s team is at the stage of formation and will be supplemented with new dates. You can view the current group schedule in the appropriate section:

Concert program concept

He announced the “History of Sound” concert program in May 2016 as part of an interview with the Dozhd TV channel. The conversation with the musician took place on the Hard Day’s Night program. At the same time, the leader of “DDT” announced that he had put aside work on new material and, accordingly, recording next album, but instead decided to recall old works.

The DDT History program is unique in its own way. Over several decades of active creative activity The musicians only once made a retrospective program - “From and To”, which was dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the group. Thus, for the first time in many years, fans will be able to hear from the stage songs that have not been performed at concerts for more than ten, or even fifteen years.

According to Yuri Shevchuk, the new concert program is not a set of songs, but the history of the country through the prism of the perception of the DDT leader. By turning to the past, the musician wants to understand the present and hopes that he can also help other people in this. At the same time, Yuri Yulianovich notes that in “History” there is a place not only for politics, but also for lyrics.
