Picture is very steady and there's no obstruction at all. Sound is ok but could've been better. Starts right before chorus in Hannibal, otherwise complete. According to person who gave me this video, it was VOB in the first place. Probably the best bootleg of Russian Phantom. AVI|7.44 GB looking for VOB

Moscow, State Kremlin Palace (16 - 17.03.2018)
17 March 2018 (Matinee); Moscow, Russia VampireIntheOpera’s master Dmitriy Ermak (Phantom), Tamara Kotova (Christine), Evgeniy Zaytsev (Raoul), Ekaterina Lyokhina (Carlotta), Aleksey Bobrov (André), Yuriy Mazikhin (Firmin), Aleksey Sumilov (Piangi), Elena Charkviani (Mme Giry), Anastasia Beduleva (Meg) Master's note: Concert version in State Kremlin Palace celebrating Webber’s 70th birthday, 2nd of 3 performances. Starring original cast of Moscow production (except Meg and Piangi, who was portrayed by Oganes Gheorgiyan who died in air crash in 2017 in Egypt). Missing the ending of “Raoul I’Ve Been There”, beginning of AIAoY and last seconds of “The Final Lair”. My camera couldn't handle with so far objects and my wallet couldn't handle with prices of places closer to stage. Steadier than my other videos since I just put my hands to seat back in front. I was lucky because 2 person who bought tickets to places in front didn't come so Act 1 is without any obstruction, but they came to the Act 2 so it was a little bit difficult to avoid them. For some reason Alexey Bobrov, who portrayed André, appears sitting on a wheelchair, anyway I know that now he can dance as he usually did. Filmed on iPhone 5S. MOV|11.87 GB Limited trade
