[Heeplist] USA Tour dates (what tour, we need to change this)

[Igor Shveitser]

 I think it is true. Even in my fed-up with variious entertainment Moscow (and some other cities of the former USSR and Eastern Europe in general) Heep can still easily get a couple of thousand spectators (and not for free at all, the tickets here are quite expensive, 50-300$), in Western/Central Europe the crowds are sometimes smaller but it is easy getting from country to country. And it is one continent while I seriously doubt they can get even 500 crowd in America. I'd love to be mistaken, but if I am not, Heep won't travel USA or/and Canada at all. Once again, hope America can assure Heep they won't at least loose there.
Cheers, Igor
