    Default Gogol Bordello: better in '08 or '07?

    I thought it was quite unique seeing them on the main stage this year...but last year was so much better. Everyone was into it, the pit was crazier (though it was bigger this year), everyone packed in etc. it was the perfect mood for a GB show.
    So what do you think was better?

    Only was at the 2007 one

    from what I've seen of 08 - really great, but no where near the greatness of 07

    They were better in '06.

    This is obvious, '07 hands down. They should have played at night in a tent this year too...

    After Waters in Gobi, while justice was playing would have been great.

    There is no competition. 07 in the Mojave tent. They were great on the mainstage this year for sure though. I actually wasn't sure how they would translate to the mainstage... and they impressed me. However, Gogol in the Mojave remais the best show I have ever seen in my entire life. The energy and atmosphere in that tent that night was unlike anything I had ever experienced.

    The Mojave performance of 07 was definitely better overall than their 08 Mainstage set.

    I was impressed by the extended medley they played at the end of the 08 set. Musically speaking, it was one of their finest moments.

    It has been interesting watching GB go from small clubs/bars to the mainstage at one of the top music fests in the world. Cheers for gypsies!

    07 for sure.

    In fact, I thought they were better at Vegoose than they were at Coach 08, and that was at 12:45 in the afternoon on the smallest stage. They had a 75 minute set at Vegoose, so that helped. I think they take a while to build.

    I didnt see em in 07 but i was in the pit the whole time for 08 and i had a blast. Friday was my "Chill out, see the bands" day..... Saturday was my "Get waisted day"...... Sunday was "Go in the pits till you feel like passing out" day for me.... Gogol had the crowd good.

    I saw both, and both were awesome. But the energy and adrenaline of Gogol and the crowd was unbeatable in '07. Plus the time and location were much better.

    I have fully accepted no matter how many Gogol shows I go to... I will never see any as good as them in the Mojave in 07. It doesn't mean I wont see them whenever I get the chance though.

    Damn, I don't know. 07 was my favorite time I've seen them hands down, but I also caught them in SD and they got down. Over 2 hours of amped up performance.

    didn't see them in "07" but I saw a clip of the performance on youtube and I promised myself if they ever came back to Coachella I would see them. I did and I loved it and I'll be at the Grove on Oct.2nd. oh yeah!

    I saw them in Richmond last thursday... and damn, what a show. They really know how to bring the energy to the stage and crowd. I'd see them again in a heartbeat.

    I want to see Gogol so bad! He played Popped! in Philly on the 21st, but I wasn't able to make it due to my sister's birthday being the same day.

    definitely 07. i saw them this year, no doubt, but in an enclosed space, it can't compare. maybe their Detour 08 set can live up...

    The line up hasn't been released yet, but it fits perfectly into Gogol's schedule.

    makes sense...I kinda hope someone different plays, as I will be seeing them in Anaheim on Oct 2.....but I won't be selfish, its cool if they play for those who won't be able to see them elsewhere
