I’ll give Gogol Bordello this: they gave it their all. They did everything they could to rock in the new year: pounding their guitars, yanking their accordions, even leaping into the audience at one point! The problem was, other than the chorus-heavy “Supertheory of Supereverything” and "Wonderlust King,” you could not understand a word they were saying. Their mumbly Eastern European accents made comprehension a serious challenge. There were definitely fun moments (“Start Wearing Purple”!) and the midnight champagne helped, but it’s hard to fully enjoy a performance when you can’t hear it.
