There was no unnecessary tone, "enthusiastically commented on his experience of the concert one of the fans.
"Bratislava is the last city in Europe, where we play. Therefore, we will try to be the best, "said the singer introduction speeches. Throughout the concert it was felt immense humanity and humility, which gave clear at all times. Often you even knelt, bowed his head and before the Slovak fans took off his hat unthinkable.
