Editorial Reviews

CD/DVD (PAL/Region 0) pressing. For this production, Gotthard used for the first time the largest indoor venue that Switzerland has to offer; the Zürich Hallenstadion. Here they wrote a small piece of rock history, as one of the few bands able to build on their success throughout Europe with the production of their 9th Studio Album. As the most currently successful Swiss Rock band, they claim yet another record; Lipservice is the most successful national album and the 3rd most successful internationally in 2005 (just short of double platinum). A band originating from little Switzerland, internationally significant; a group of superb musicians supporting the exceptional voice of Steve Lee this is a band which makes a great impression! 2006. * Please note you will need an All Code DVD player to view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotthard - Made In Switzerland ...Brilliant, just brilliant!, November 25, 2008

I have to admit that I hadn't really heard a lot about Gotthard, but after watching this DVD, I have gone out and bought all their CD's.
It's a shame such a great band is hardly known outside of Europe. They have a stack of great songs and know how to rock, also have great ballads. I am having trouble putting this DVD down, I leave it for a few days and have to watch it again and again, it really says a lot of how good this is. If you love a good rock concert, buy this, you won't be disappointed. Steve Lee is a great singer with a presence on stage and has a great voice, I can't wait for another CD & DVD from this band.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Swiss Bon Jovi, February 27, 2009

Virtually unknown outside of Europe and Japan, the best-selling melodic rock stars Gotthard finally decided to serve up a live DVD to go along with their catalogue of amazing melodic rock albums. Expectations were high, and Made in Switzerland does not disappoint.

Main Program - Gotthard chose wisely when they elected to record this DVD on their home turf. The platinum-selling band is practically a household name in Switzerland, and it looks like half the country (the attractive half anyway) turned out to see the band perform. It's the kind of arena rocking show you'd expect from Bon Jovi (Gotthard's American equivalent). The band is in top form, rocking their way through 17 of their most impressive melodic rock hits. The crowd energy is amazing, and the production values are incredibly high. It's really everything you hope for when you buy a live DVD, and I suspect it would make an insanely good Blu Ray.

Bonus Features - Of course the best bonus feature of all is the accompanying audio CD that captures most of the performance. I'd have paid full price for that high quality live CD alone.

The Verdict - If your DVD can handle PAL format, then Made in Switzerland is a must-have. Gotthard is an amazing melodic rock band, and this DVD release is every bit as impressive as the band's albums. I can't recommend it highly enough.

This has to be the best band not known in the USA. These guys rock from start to finish. If you like Bon Jovi you will love Gotthard, they are better. Give it a listen and you will be surprised............
