Vysotskiy - Koni priviredliviye

Here is the same song ... somewhere in concert.

Koni Priviledlivie

This is another of my favorites. Vysotskiy showed it in Mexico, 1977. There is a Yahoo group dedicated to Volodia at:

You can find this song and also the lyrics in English “Fastidious Horses” in two versions with orchestra and guitar only in mp3 format. Also this is a place for a good discussion about the bard and get some answers of your questions. Visit it if you are Volodia's fen.

О воздушном бое

Great video about air combat on even greater song about it by Vladimir Vysotskiy!

New video

I had no time yesterday to update the blog, but this week I am going to post two new videos. This is one of my favorite combat songs (air combat) - "Ih vosyem, nas dvoe" ("They are eight, we are just two"). The video is not about Vysotskiy itself, but very nice illustration of what is the song about.

Vysotskiy's poetry

Today I am publishing the site that has the most of Visotskiy's lyrics. They claim to have 760 songs and lyrics and 2000 variants of his interpretation.

The site is in Russian, but if you like Vysotskiy you probably know Russian. Otherwise see my yesterday’s posting and look for your language.
