Recent tour reviews

Monday 3rd July. Jazz Cafe. The Roots. Less than a week after Glastonbury normalcy is slowly returning and we’re back at the refurbished Jazz Café to see the legendary Roots.

Tonight’s incarnation is eleven members strong with two keyboardists, horn section, the usual drums, bass and guitar plus two guys playing some sort of electronic push button noise making thingy. I’m sure there’s a proper musical definition for this instrument but forgive me I don’t know what it is.

After the stage time for some reason being as secret as the nuclear codes, the venue is full to bursting 45 minutes before the band come on at 9. This venue and part of London is special for the Roots as they lived here for a while and their first gigs were here.

Primarily known as a hip hop band what the next two hours shows is that they are so much more than this. These are all highly talented musicians, sparking off each other throughout the set, improvising, counter improvising all led by band leader Questlove behind the drums. All genres of music are taken in tonight, blues, rock, soul, RnB, ragtime and even a little jazz with excellent covers of ‘Jungle Boogie’, ‘Move on up’, ‘Sweet child of mine’ and especially Led Zep’s ‘Immigrant Song’.

The shows starts strongly and grows and grows in intensity with the final third of the set being right up with the best shows I have ever seen.

They are clearly having fun, laughing and joking throughout with choreographed dance routines with a special mention for Tuba Gooding Jr on the Sousaphone who struts around with this massive bit of kit wrapped around himself.

A top top night for an amazing live band in an intimate settings. It doesn’t get better than this.

Keep on rockin’ y’all.

One of the best gigs I've attended! Having been a fan for many years they exceeded my expections. They had the crowds attention from beginning to end. Talented and professional. Awesome night!

Best band ever! My first time seeing The Roots in concert. Everytime they come to Chicago I'm going. They paid a tribute to Prince on the bebop he kill it they all killed that night.

The Tortured Poets Department —And Its Surprise Companion, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology —Mine Darkness to Pop Perfection

By Suzy Exposito

Early on Friday morning, Taylor Swift, literary It Girl of the pop charts, dropped her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department , and 15 surprise tracks, dubbed The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.

If listening to a double album in one sitting sounds tedious, well… that’s because it is. To be a citizen of the Taylor Nation requires a stratospheric level of stamina that’s just not demanded of most other fanbases. Swift simply doesn’t quit: After releasing her 2022 studio album, Midnights , the 34-year-old captivated millions of fans during her global Eras tour, which has grossed over $1 billion since it started in 2023, becoming the highest-grossing concert tour of all time. (Eras will resume in Nanterre, France, on May 9, kicking off a string of summer dates in Europe before Swift returns stateside for the second North American leg of her tour, concluding in Vancouver, Canada on December 8.)

That same year, Swift released complete re-recordings, or “Taylor’s Versions,” of her 2010 country classic, Speak Now, and her 2014 synth-pop masterpiece, 1989 (a reaction to losing her masters to Big Machine, her previous record label); and she ran a victory lap at the Grammy Awards this past February, when Midnights won both album of the year and best pop vocal album.

Yet, as Swift will attest, one can only experience so much growth before it becomes a liability. In the devil-may-care catharsis of The Tortured Poets Department , Swift dismantles the top-selling product she has become and reclaims the vulnerable person inside of it. “This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page,” she wrote in her album announcement on Friday. “Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it."

Released at midnight, the first volume of The Tortured Poets Department is an uncut and uncensored chronicle of Swift’s love life, which is, somehow, more public now than ever before. This diaristic collection of songs comes after Swift announced her split with British actor Joe Alwyn, her boyfriend of six years, in April 2023. It also details a torrid summer fling with Matty Healy , the polemical lead singer of The 1975, as well as her ongoing romance with football star Travis Kelce, tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, whose Super Bowl win she famously sealed with a kiss during the telecast.

People may occasionally call her pop confessionals “cringe,” or wonder if she’s oversharing—but in the tradition of many great poets before her, Swift’s bread and butter is in the gratuitous myth-making of her personal life. Penned with her trusted associates, Jack Antonoff (of the band Bleachers) and Aaron Dessner (of the band The National), Swift makes her most sensational revelations while sticking to the sound she cultivated on Midnights , pairing her distinct, galloping prosody with bespoke synth-pop and guitar fusions. Post Malone also lends hushed vocals in the opening track, “Fortnight,” while Florence Welch dials up the theatrics in the epic swamp noir of “Florida.”

Yet where curious listeners go looking for juice, they will find equal amounts of vinegar. Swift taps her country roots in the scathing “But Daddy I Love Him,” likening those critical of her romantic choices to the patronizing, small-town fundamentalists she eviscerated in classic songs like “Mean” and “You Need to Calm Down.” Well aware of how readily her songs become tabloid fodder, she toys with the gawking hordes like a cat does its prey: “I’m having his baby… No, I’m not,” she quips. “But you should see your faces!”

In contrast, glimmers of Lana Del Rey’s summertime sadness flicker in the twangy lament of “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” —a humble admission for Swift, whose admiration for Healy was eclipsed by the more objectionable parts of his persona. (“Whoa, maybe I can’t,” Swift concedes in the song’s final moments.) Swift also articulates the big chill of her previous relationship, presumably with Alwyn, with a shivering delivery in “So Long, London.”

Ironically, Swift shows the most guts in her arpeggiated dance-pop number “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” Framed by staged countdowns and the demanding cries of her audience, the song is a sobering treatise on managing mental health under the spotlight—which is to say, only barely holding it together. “Lights, camera, bitch, smile! Even if you wanna die,” she sings almost breathlessly, as if racing to whatever the industry decides is the (next) Top. “I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day,” she adds in the chorus.

Swift has more to say about the psychic damage of her chronic, if self-inflicted, overexposure in “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” Reprising her role in 2020’s “Mad Woman,” from Folklore , she uses the song to play out a one-woman American horror story, describing her presence lording over pop culture like a vengeful phantom. If she can’t kill them with kindness, Swift decides she’ll haunt them instead: “I was tame, I was gentle ’til the circus life made me mean,” she states acerbically. It’s this song that arguably best sets the scene for Swift’s upcoming re-recording of Reputation , her 2017 screed from a pop star scorned.

By 2:00 in the morning, Eastern Standard Time, the Swiftie community was alerted to the surprise Side B of Tortured Poets . Titled The Anthology, this new edition bumped Swift’s number of new songs from 16 to 31 in a single night, leaving a long trail of sleep-deprived fans and critics in its wake.

Those who relished in the indie-folk fringe of Swift’s 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore would feast well on The Anthology . The rootsy timbre of “The Albatross” sounds cut from the same cloth as her mystical ballad “Willow”; and fans of Swift’s spunkier, guitar-driven work can take solace in the sanguine indie-rock of “So High School,” which alludes to her all-American romance with Kelce. (“You know how to ball,” she sings cheerfully, “I know Aristotle.”)

Swift works her way back to her country-pop stylings in “thanK you aIMee,” a sardonic olive branch extended to a bitter rival. (Swifties have already deduced that it alludes to Kim Kardashian—if not for the letters K–I–M , then for roguish the line, “I changed your name, and any real defining clues, and one day your kid comes home singin’ a song that only us two is gonna know is about you.”)

Swift’s prolific run of albums, on an annual release schedule since 2019’s Lover , has proven both historic and incredibly lucrative for the artist. Perhaps now that Swift has reached a commercial zenith, at least in comparison to her peers, The Tortured Poets Department seems like the liberating exhale of an artist at the height of her powers. Like a dog-eared composition book you’d find tucked tightly in the arms of a sullen teen poet, Swift brandishes the wear and tear of her heart like a badge of honor—yet the difference between well-loved and weathered lies in the eye, or the ear, of the beholder.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
