Entertaining, surreal, and hilarious. Imagine meeting Lynyrd Skynyrd 30 years ago and telling them that one day "Sweet Home Alabama" would be performed by 10 guys with giant pointy shoes and giant pointy pompadours, backed by the Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble, in front of 70,000 screaming Finlandians. A fun, charming music & dance performance, and a touching display of unity between neighboring countries with a history of animosity.
