2007-09-11T18:29:00.001-06:00

This week I am posting the "Spasite nashi dushi" - SOS song, which is one of his most famous. I am adding the Sergei Borisenko's comment from Youtube, because I like:
This song is Visotsky's view on war. A submarine surrounded by underwater mines unable to surface, unable to get air and all of its crew bagging for someone to save them from suffocation. He is a gibbous to show his view on war through such a story.

Visotsky - ya vam rebyata ... (rimskij papa)

2007-09-04T21:36:00.001-06:00

This week I am posting this "shutachnaia pesen". The video quality is bad, but this is normal for such an old record. There is a like a TV logo on the upper left corner of the screen. Does anybody recognize which TV station is this? Enjoy it!

Visotsky - lezhit kamen v stepi

2007-07-02T22:43:00.001-06:00

I don't know what is this video about. It says it was recorder in "Kalininskaya oblast" during the spring of 1981. This is almost an year after Visotskiy passed away, but hi is singing in background one of his not so popular songs. There is also a name written at the end of the video - Artur Makarov.

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:
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/vladimirvysotsky/
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.

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.

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.

Unique record!

The Official Vysotskiy web site

2007-03-08T22:35:00.000-06:00

This link is the official Vysotskiy’s web site: http://www.visotsky.cea.ru:8101/ Actually it is the state owned center-museum of Vysotskiy.I haven't publish anything yesterday, but today I am sending a new video of the same song "Ya ne liubliu" ("I don't like), which is very unique. This type of record (I should say performing, because very few of them have been recorded), are something that might worth even more than a big concert. It is somebody's home, with friends, around the table and with plenty of Vodka. Enjoy it!

Today I am posting a link to most complete and interesting site dedicated to Vysotskiy - http://vv.kulichki.net/
At the site is the largest collection of songs and lyrics, pictures and videos of Vysotskiy.
Because of the different spelling of Vladimir's last name, bellow I will write the most common translation. I will appreciate if you comment how his name is spelled in different languages.
Vysotskiy, Visotskiy, Visotskij, Vysotskij, Висоцки.
If you know some other interesting site about Vysotskiy, please, let me know.
