The main issue was the sound system as I felt that the band had to shout to be heard otherwise the crowd did the job. The atmosphere was worth it all. A very good evening

Like other reviewers I was a little worried that an acoustic Gogol gig (they sat on Westlife-style stools for goodness sake!) would be more downbeat than their usual frantic outings. Admittedly it wasn't as messy as some of their other London gigs (see Brixton '08 for reference) but felt more intimate and gave Eugene the chance to chat more with the audience. As always, Eugene's clothes stayed on for only a few minutes and he didn't sit down on the boyband stool for long. The band's usual indefatigable energy was happily still there. The gig also demonstrated the band's musical chops. Sergey and Yuri's skills have always been unmistakable but Eugene's guitar playing took centre stage and ranged from his usual mad strumming to the gentler picking on songs like Sun is on My Side. As a long term fan I enjoyed hearing some older album stuff like Avenue B and this really sorted the uber-fan from the parvenu who was just there to hear Start Wearing Purple! Gogol Bordello could fart into a bucket and I'd pay to hear it but this really was a great gig. More please, Eugene and co.

I've been to see Gogol a few times before at the Hammersmith Apollo and was looking forward to seeing them at another venue (that I'd never been to, despite being a long-term Londoner) and about the idea of them doing an acoustic set. I had a quick look at their website on the day of the gig and it seemed like this was something they fancied trying, as a way of re-inventing themselves perhaps... I was actually a bit worried the gig might be a bit quiet. 'Acoustic' always brings to mind MTV unplugged sessions for me, which are great, but possibly not for a Friday night in Camden. Hmm.

I needn't have worried; this gig was pretty much indistinguishable from the others I'd been to - i.e. LOUD and wonderfully chaotic - and the constant pogo-ing, beer spilling and general "let's all pretend we're about to start a revolution" vibe was only heightened by the oh-so-Camden grot of the Electric Ballroom. The only slightly weird point was the Pink Floyd cover - didn't quite work for us and personally I think Gogol have no need of covering other people's work.

After generously delighting the crowd with two encores, Gogol bid us farewell and we stumbled out into the night, ready to take the revolution forward...or maybe just have another drink.

A great performance as usual, and acoustic so got to hear some of the songs they don't usually play in a more relaxed atmosphere; great for true fans of the actual music. Of course there was still a gogol bordello party vibe and we still left the place sweaty and tired haha.

The gig in Bristol was the third time I've seen them and they're simply getting better and better. I would recommend that anyone who hasn't seen them to go and watch them! You will dance your a**e off and this will just get you hooked and wanting more, even if you're sober!! Please, please can someone make me watch them every week of my life until I die!

Only downside was the slightly overzealous security, but that's forgivable. (Still, *angry fist shaking*)

Support band Eureka Machines were brilliant and got the crowd into party mode before Gogol Bordello.
Gogol Bordello has the most amazing bunch of talented musicians. The concert was outstanding, so much energy from both the band and the crowd. Really cannot put into words how fantastic the night was. All i have left to say is I hope they are back in Scotland very soon and wish them all the best from their fans in Scotland.

The band were excellent. Fully energetic throughout their hour and a half set. I don't think they even paused for breath. Very very good indeed, however, the venue doesn't have a good sound system in place, and there were several parts of the auditorium in which you struggled to hear them. A make over is definitely in order.
