Inna and I saw Mashina Vremeni’s “Мы рядом” concert at the Fox Theater in Redwood City on November 4, 2025.
I had never been inside Fox Theater, and it's not a bad venue. Parking was relatively easy to find. Inna purchased excellent seats in row G, and we had a perfect view of the band.
The band started out a bit sluggish (as if the musicians were weary) with "Birthday." Many of the songs chosen were also lesser-known (at least to me).
Here is an iPhone video from the concert:
This is an iconic rock group (like the Beatles for Americans) to Russians. Inna knew the lyrics of most of their songs by heart.
Mashina Vremeni (Машина времени) is a Russian rock band founded in 1969. Mashina Vremeni was a pioneer of Soviet rock music and remains one of the oldest still-active rock bands in Russia.

Notable members over the band’s history include Andrei Makarevich (founder, principal singer-songwriter, public face of the band), Alexander Kutikov (bass player and producer/sound engineer), and Evgeny Margulis (guitarist/songwriter).
