Thank you Emilie!
You all have a great time at the show!!

[Delphine]

Show closed of the cancelation at the last time but finally took place.
Many thanks to the swiss dotors who made miracle with the back of Matthias.

The sound for Karelia (support band) was very bad, but good for Scorpions.
The setlist was exactely the same than before but "We'll burn the sky" was write but finaly not played.
Due to the back pain of Matt, they didn't do the pyramide. The show was good, but I found Pawel away.
The audience was good.

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

thanks for your review Delphine, I hope Matthias recovers soon!
what about Pawel?

[pierre]

The audience was good.

bof !!!
vu des tribune, pas terrible, a part que le suisse siffle sur le drapeau français et adore still loving you

franchement vu d'en haut j'ai préféré largement Nantes et Strasbourg

[Gabi6912]

Thanks for your report Del.

Have a speedy recover Matthias.

Hi!
I was there too and it was another amazing experience!
A day before we meet Pawel for a short while. He was in good condition - and on the show too; like always!
The day of the show: unfortunally myself was not in good condition: work the whole week with a upcoming influence but it's okay. My wife and me was backstage. Many fans was there and i meet some of them. The band comes in a small room, anybody makes some pics with them and take some autographs. After then we have to leave and stay in the audience. The arena was full and the crowd was amazing! Okay, the same setlist, but another really great show!
After the concert we went to the hotel, but the after show party was secret and private. But i meet there Adriano + Alessandro again "ciao tantissimo", Emilie and Diego and many more!
It was my 50th! concert since 1982 with the scorpions and yes: i can't believe that they retire - but they do ( as SCORPIONS )
... and it gives me a really special personal 'award' for myself . . .

Cool pics Del, but I miss a certain one.........

[Emilie]

Here is the review of Diego and I.

We got up on Friday morning and it was raining a lot. We went to a shopping center to buy the new album Comeblack and we found the album and the vinyl. Then we arrived to the Geneva arena and luckily we were above a roof so we were not too wet.
Adrian came a bit later and we made the queue with him and Alessandro. We spend all those hours speaking and the time went a bit faster because of this.
Just a few minutes before opening the doors there was a big problem of organization: someone of the arena came and told us that the queue where we were standing are only for women and the men should go to the next queue! We were very angry because Diego and Adrian (and so much people) had to change the queue and lost their place as first. Then they finally opened the doors and we could enter.

The stage was very very big and we were standing at Matthias’ side. We reached the first row so we were happy and calm again.
The first concert was of the band Karelia. Diego and I are not very fan of them so we listened but we hadn’t so much fun.
Then the Scorpions’ concert. First of all, the sound had a very good quality in this venue. You could hear all the sounds separately and I must say that Klaus’ voice was amazing. I think they have made some new effects on the back screen (for example Still loving you and When the smoke is going down). The public was very enthusiast about the concert and I think everybody was happy.
I also think that there is a new sort of drum stick.
An another good point of this venue is that during the concert, the security member between the stage and the first row gave to the people water to drink. I had never seen that before.

After the concert we were very tired and hungry so we went to eat something at 2 AM. Then we went back to the hotel to sleep.
Finally today we were with Adrian and Alessandro and we visited Geneva and eat together. It was really a great afternoon together. It’s what I like about the Scorpions, you don’t just go to a concert but you’re also seeing new places, you meet friends you knew before but also new people.

thanks a lot for your review Emilie,I hoped for some change in the setlist but

[Adrian]

as i wrote on my FB page, i just "Comeblack" from Geneva
it's been a very long travel, and a bit stressing, both to go to Geneva and to go back......
actually weather in italay is orrible, heavy rain everywhere, lots of problem, disasters, and some people died.......so, today i was a bit worried about which way was the best to return to home......but luckly everything worked in the best way
the travel started very early......i got up at 2.30 am.....and i arrived to geneva at 10.30 by car.
just the time for check-in to the hotel....take a rest a bit.....and then i (with a friend) moved to the arena.
when i arrived there it was raining, and i was afraid i should wait under the rain before to go inside but...after few minutes rain stopped .....and then there was a cover/roof to the entrance, so that i didn't get wet.
there i met Emilie and Diego, and as Emilie said, hours spent so fast cause we talked all the time.
it seemed to procede in the best way when security before asked to all to go back of some meters from the doors........and then, my big disappointing........to change the queue,cause we had to separate in female/male queues.........nobody knew about it and security guys explained "here for this arena it's normal"........just like if every poeple there use to go everyday to see shows in that Arena........
Anyway.......finally...after i was pushed from every side, i can go inside, and i found Diego and Emilie in first row (matthias's side) and they saved a place for me and my friend (thank u!!!!!)
when Karelia started to play it was a bit late than the time wrote on the ticket.....and i said to Emilie as joke, "where is the real Suisse, with its perfect organization and punctuality?"

show was great......it’s a pity about the same set-list…….but, ok….it was important to be there…….i just can say that band was in a great mood as always……
I can get a drumstick, finally after 3 throws……cause first time Klaus throw to me the drumstick I can’t catch it……second one neither…….and when Klaus noticed I didn’t catch it, he indicated me, and went to take others drumstick to throw to me at least one, and finally I got it…..THANK YOU KLAUS!!!!!!!!
After the show we met others fans (Jurgen and his wife too)and at 2 am finally we found a MCdonald open…..so we can eat something, and after almost 26 hours, I can touch a bed again!!!!!!!
The day after the showme and my friend spent the whole day with Diego and Emilie (and for some hours with Samantha)walking in geneva, just for a sightseeing of the city, it’s been a very nice day.
Then I left them to the airport, and with my friend, we went to try Mexican food, first time for me….but…very tasty
What can I say….another great show, another great experience, can’t wait for the next one……
@Jurgen…..it’s a pity we can talk for few time……but it’s been a very great pleasure to meet u again bro!!!!can’t wait to see ya again,let’s organize some concert togheter……with Hungarian family too
@Emilie&Diego…….i really spent nice time with u, talking, and laughing about everything, thank you!!!!can’t wait to see ya in Bruxels

[Gabi6912]

Jürgen, Adrian, Emilie,
thank you for your enjoyable reviews.
I am so happy for you to spend a great time together, and to see another great show.

I so hope Adry that we will have a chance again to be with you, and Jürgen, spending some funny days together somewhere.

[Delphine]

Cool pics Del, but I miss a certain one.........

Yes, I know. I will explain you later why

[Guest]

Thank you for the entertaining reviews, Geneva Crew !!! I really don´t understand the meaning of dividing the queues in two like that Just as if you were lining up for toilets or something...

[Daniel Gartsman]

Thank you for such a great reviews i enjoyed it!

An another good point of this venue is that during the concert, the security member between the stage and the first row gave to the people water to drink. I had never seen that before.

I'm beginning to like Swiss OGs That should be a norm henceforward!

[Nadin]

Oh, wow! thanks everyone for your interesting reviews !!! Yeah, it seems you had an amazing time in Geneva all together!!! Great!!!
@ Delphine - awesome pix!
@ Jurgen - 50th concert...wow!!! I'm taking my hat off before you...

I really don´t understand the meaning of dividing the queues in two like that Just as if you were lining up for toilets or something...

aha..neither do I, Lenita...very strange ( unless...maybe this was made for security reasons - to seek through men and women separately - they might have thought it would be faster that way...or I don't know ...)

@ Adrian - wow! That's so great that Klaus threw drumsticks to u directly, and made himself sure u got them...yeah.. That's really very nice of him - he appreciates his true fans
