Plot
At Helsinki's Senate Square on 12th June 1993 70,000 people gathered to watch the self-proclaimed worst band in the world, the Leningrad Cowboys perform for the first time with the Red Army Chorus and Dance Ensemble. A gloriously uplifting document of inflated quiffs and absurd winkle-pickers with the Cowboys covering rock classics like Delilah', Happy Together' and Knocking on Heaven's Door' as well as thrilling the audience (and Red Army alike) with a selection from their own repertoire.
