Hallenstadion, Zurich 06/30/2014

Review from Switzwerland. It looks like it was the standard HotE tour and Bernie's in the picture. I'm sure much gets lost in translation but the reviewer doesn't sound enthusiastic. He said it took a long time for the audience to get going and they were all just waiting for "Hotel California". Also, the show was "well-attended but not nearly sold-out". (The latter may explain why there haven't been more more dates on mainland Europe.)

Or through Google Translate.


And another not very enthusiastic review with the review title translating as "Five Americans without abdominals"! I'm not sure if he's saying the performance was "gutless" or just without passion.

The original in German or translated.

And once again they spelled it 'SchmiDt'. :roll:

The tickets for mainland Europe seemed to be unreserved seating or unreserved standing. I looked into it but wasn't going to go where I couldn't be guaranteed a good place. Maybe that put others off too. Also these dates were released after the main block of dates. Possibly fans already had made plans to go to Amsterdam, Ireland or the UK.

Thanks for posting those reviews, UTW even though Google Translator leaves a lot to be desired. I especially had a hard time interpreting that second one - something was definitely lost in translation.
