been to Les Docks. Very nice venue in summer

Are they trying again to hit that Bikini in Toulouse, or maybe Lyon? Would be great

I assume they are heading for Spain/Portugal as final destination here...

Tickets very cheap (25,42 â‚¬) for this one, especially considering it's Switzerland;

Amazing. Awesome. No words can describe.

Brad · 24 Nov 2011, 23:56

Surely some words can describe a set list?

_emma_ · 25 Nov 2011, 00:04

Well TNO is back. Oh and they didn't really play Sth Fast. Ben did some new excellent sounds during OTW. That's all I can remember right now. Excuse me.

You say this about every gig, making it difficult for those that weren't there to make comparisons.
How was the sound? How was the performance? What was the setlist? How were the audience? What was the venue like?
It's not all about Von's bits.

This one it's very close to the 2009 tour template

I like it it, but it was used to exhaustion and I was really hoping for something new on this last leg of The XXX tour.

well ok then:-D

-How was the sound?
Excellent.
- How was the performance?
Energetic and beautiful.
- What was the setlist?
Oh, whatever.

-How were the audience?
How can I know this if 99% of them were behind me. But I did feel quite a lot of pushing so I suppose they had fun too.
- What was the venue like?
Very difficult to find, small and cosy and dark. No security between audience and stage. Stage low and near. Oh yes.

It's not all about Von's bits.

Yeah, sure, I know.

Dr Poo · 25 Nov 2011, 11:44

Clear and succinct.

See you tomorrow!

Eggi1 · 25 Nov 2011, 12:17

horror venue.stupid and drunk proles crowd.Sound was only in few parts of the venue good(not exellent).Bad PA. Von pissed.
All 2 swiss shows were for me a disaster.

Eva · 25 Nov 2011, 12:41

What makes the whole Switzerland experience a particularly sad one, is that Lausanne in its own crappy way managed to be as bad as Zurich. For me, it was more the circumstances: Inga and Andrew S having trouble getting their hotel room, all of us experiencing a particularly non-interested kind of non-existing reception and service at said hotel, the fact that between 2 and 6 pm you don't find food in this s**t town and that the same goes for after gig time: Try and find food in Lausanne after midnight. The only choice is the golden M *spit*, and of course, by then they've run out of anything veggie besides fries. On the balcony in Lausanne the sound was great, until 3 totally drunk guys turned up behind me and shouted at each other constantly. Downstairs seemed to be a lively moshpit, but I was told later that it was a brainless one, where people hurt each other and were generally very aggressive. Eggi and a few others got several hits in the back, punches and similar. That's not what we consider a moshpit, that's just plain destructive drunken idiocy.

As I said elsewhere, the Switzerland experience this time is best forgotten or regarded as pure bad luck.

However, I'm glad Emma and Andrew - if I've understood correctly - have enjoyed both shows, as they've made all the way to joing us seeing them. For us the two shows were Heimspiele, for which you can take the risks that they're below your hopes.

To quote the famous and the less famous: NEXT.

_emma_ · 25 Nov 2011, 13:15

Well yes i enjoyed both shows immensely! The small troubles i didnt even notice. All is okay, there is perfect harmony in the universe and life is good. Switzerland is beautiful. I cant even be bothered to leave a complaint at the hotel, i'd rather just give them a hug and say i forgive you, i luv you, stay well, au revoir.
Eva and Eggi- huge thanks for everything! X
