Kou Voravong
The political crisis caused by his assassination, barely two months after the Geneva Agreements which prepared to restore peace in Indochina, contributed to bring down the current neutralist government (pro-French) which was replaced by a progressive one (pro-American) in extremely tense atmosphere of the Cold War between Russia and the United States. From 1955 indeed, the political history of this small landlocked country fell trapped inexorably in the ideological confrontation between the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union, annihilating any hope of national unification.
Go (Pearl Jam song)
"Go" was first performed live at the band's May 13, 1993 concert in San Francisco, California at Slim's Café. On April 3, 1994 in Atlanta, Georgia at the Fox Theatre, Vedder dedicated a live version of the song to Kurt Cobain, days after the Nirvana frontman had escaped from rehab. Cobain's body would be found five days later, on April 8; he is believed to have died on April 5. Live performances of "Go" can be found on the "Dissident"/"Live in Atlanta" box set, the live album "Live on Two Legs", various official bootlegs, and the "Live at the Gorge 05/06" box set. A performance of the song is also included on the DVD "Touring Band 2000". When played live, the percussive intro at the beginning of the song is omitted, with the band launching straight into the main chord progression.
