Gogol Bordello at Webster Hall

I saw Gogol Bordello at Webster Hall Monday night, and they were amazing as usual.  This is the third time I have seen them and they are one of the most fun live bands I know (and I've been to a lot of concerts).  I took a friend who I had previously convinced to see a disastrous Gallagher show, so I hope I have redeemed myself.

The sound was OK, but the mixer succumbed to the "I have a lot of subwoofers so I should use them all" syndrome, and I couldn't hear the vocals very well.  But I can't blame anyone for that--Eugene Hutz, the lead singer, threw his mic on the ground at least five times in the show I saw, and his acoustic guitar was distorted.  I imagine the pick up was full of wine or something.
