New behind the scenes tour videos!

Hi there folks!

I posted up a couple new videos to www.johnbtv.com and the usual video places from tourdates last year - thought I ought to post them up here too...

Photos: John B @ Pirate Club, Niznhy Novgorod, 09.05.09

So I finally got all the photos together, gathered (with the kind help of my Russian fans & friends on vKontakte.ru) from lots of gallery websites, all Russian ones I find impossible to translate ;-)

As you can see it was an amazing show, ROASTING in there, so much so they got me 2 huge fans which worked a treat - except they blew my CDs about ;-) Had no time to hang around afterwards either, there's only one flight a day out of Nizhny Novgorod on a decent airline (i.e not a scarey Russian one!) at about 5 am - so I had to literally jet right out of there as soon as my set was done - straight to the airport, with all my makeup on and rave-dirt etc! Got a few funnny looks at Passport control but managed to totally sort myself out and get changed in the wierd little airport bathroom before the flight took off. I think I was only on the ground for about 4 hours from the point of landing in Russia to taking off again - that's a proper rave-commute ;-)

Anyway - here's some of the photos below, and as always you can see the whole gallery on my flickr gallery, facebook AND myspace (yes I spend a lot of time uploading stuff!)

HD Video: John B @ Pirate Station St. Petersburg 31.01.09

720p HD Tour video of John B's biggest gig ever to 25,000+ ravers at the SKK arena in St. Petersburg for the Pirate Station 'Immortal' Event.

Loads of live footage from his set in the main arena, then the VIP Deluxe arena for his 2nd set. Crazy performances from acrobats and performance artists & sexydancers on-stage. And some bonus footage from the artists' area backstage, and pretty scary video of stilt walkers falling over! (We hope they're ok!)



Much love to all the Russian fans, all the organisers & crew that made the event as amazing and memorable as it was!

To be followed by another video of all the random backstage drunken banter ;-)

Photos: Pirate Station Moscow 21.02.09

Think I've just about managed to round up all the photos that could be found in the internet from this event ;-)

Last Saturday I played in Moscow, for the Pirate Station guys again, HUGE party in a big Expo Hall in the middle of Moscow. Someone told me it was the biggest Expo complex in Europe. I believe them! Hungary was the day before, and I went straight form the gig to the airport in Budapest, didn't get to sleep till about 3pm when I made it to the hotel in Moscow. Woke up to the surreal rumble of the sound system warming up (hotel was in the same complex) and the first of many super-theatrical intros they do, really got me tingling! I'd watched Hellboy 2 earlier in the week, with the 'Golden Army' and man, it sounded like there were a gazillion golden army robo-goblins waking up and crashing about. Too much for my jetlagged & frazzled brain! Heheh!

So yeah, an amazing gig, I got to the stage nice and early so I could hang out with the other DJs and hear what was being played, and just take in the vibes - really good time. So yeah, thanks to all the organizers & to all my Russian fans that stayed right till the end to see me play at 5am! It really was special ;-)

You'll already know this if you are a subscriber to my fabulous podcast (!) but they broadcast my set live, and I managed to get a recording and its now available FREE as a lovely podcast! CLICK HERE for more info.

Oh, and add me on vkontakte.ru here!! ;-)

All the photos I found (and was thankfully sent by you guys out there) can be seen in galleries on my flickr, facebook & myspace pages. Enjoy!

Video from Donoskoy City, Russia!

Yes I HAVE been busy! Need to spend more time in the studio than editing videos right?

Filmed this back in August when I played in Donoskoy City, a cool city about 2-3 hours drive from Moscow. The promoter was a really cool guy, a local Government official, but he had a special nature park place, with a lake and outdoor nightclub all connected in - think they had plans to build a little hotel there too in the future and promote tourism to the area. The idea being people could come and escape from the hustle and bustle of Moscow to see come nice countryside and go fishing etc - but at nighttime it goes all Ibiza, Russian style!

Alas we were VERY unlucky with the weather - one of the biggest thunderstorms I've ever seen (apart from in Texas) decided to come and hassle us, in fact I'm suprised the plane was even allowed to land in Moscow - so what could have been a load of happy Russian ravers dancing to the sounds of John B under the moonlight was more of a mudpit under thunder and lightening and floods... We still had a great time, but it was a shame that the first time they paid to fly out an international DJ the weather scuppered it :-( I'll be back next year though and they promised me it will be sunny then... ;-)

Big thanks to all the guys that helped out, and for the BLINSKI ETLITCHNA!!!!

Oh, and see the vid through till the end - you get a nice bit of a VJ video for my remix of Glamour for Better at the end...

Photos from SIberia!

The mighty Antyom (Phanatique) sorted me out with a link to all the photos from when I played in Novosibirsk in Siberia a couple of weeks ago - they came out GREAT!

You can see the original photoset at: www.allnight.ru/reports/1237  and its archived on my flickr page here too...
