Oct 11: Short review from Sven Frei <info@recoil.net>
review from Patrick Merz <merzp@ubaclu.unibas.ch>
Hello everyone,
i just came back from the show in Zurich and wanted to share some sad news with you :
First of all : The band left out 3 songs, Condemnation, Stripped and I Feel You.
Dave had problems with his voice !
Believe me, it was like horror for us ! Not Dave - it was the crowd in the Hallenstadion.
They were not acting like fans - dancing, singing, NOTHING ! They decided to talk and get
some drinks during Somebody and so on...although i was standing far away from the stage i
could feel Dave´s dissapointment. But anyway - there must have been something wrong
before the show. Just a feeling...
Hmmmm,
there was a problem with Dave's voice, that's true...and I think during one song he forgot
the lyrics and just sang nothing...Martin made a mistake during BOAG...all in all I was
rather disappointed with the performance....
The best song was definitely Somebody. I am more and more convinced of Martin's voice. I
remember a concert sowhere in 85 or so where Martin sang...it was awful...but now, his
voice has become better and better. I've got absolutely nothing against Dave as a singer,
but I think he ruined his voice with all the stuff he went through (I'm a singer too, so
please allow me that statement) and he is no longer able to maintain it during a tour.
