I know the European tour was supposed to begin a few weeks earlier than it did in Lyon, and some of the dates were pushed back to January 85, while other were cancelled altogether. Among these would've been their first show in Spain, in Barcelona. Does anybody know what the original dates were? Thanks

Thanks! I lost my copy of the book years ago, I think a friend borrowed it and never returned it. I need to get it, that was a good read. Even with most of the information readily available online, there's still a lot of interesting reading about the individual gigs. Was there a version published later with the Popmart figures included? My copy only went through Zoo TV. Ticket sales in Barcelona and Copenhagen must've been unfavorable? They didn't come to Denmark again until Zoo TV.
