The story is built around an excerpt from the biography of director Vladimir Alenikov, known for films and books about Petrov and Vasechkin. Vladimir Alenikov in 1974 undertook the production of a film about the greatest man in Armenia, Komitas, an Armenian composer and musician. For the sake of the film, he is ready to put everything on the line, give up big money, personal life, career. And it seems that success awaits him in Armenia. Hospitality and luck accompany at every step. Finally, here's the footage. The final is near. Suddenly a commission gathers and decides to destroy the film. But Alenikov does not give up until the last. Melodrama, comedy, thriller, tragedy, all genres converge in a short passage from the life of a famous director.

It’s always been a dream of mine to do a show at the Fillmore. The name itself is synonymous with legendary performances. Countless iconic musicians and comedians have been on that stage. To be a part of that history was something I’ll never forget. As much as I was trying to keep my head together before the show, I couldn’t help but feel like a tourist or just some random dude who won a contest. LET IT GO represents the culmination of material I developed on the road from 2008-2009. As always thanks to everyone who came out to my shows, laughed at the funny stuff and stared during the bombing. I hope you enjoy it. – Bill Burr
