Motto
Apart from Ever Forward, a tour name which developed out of discussions among the fanbase, Come Feel The Arms Around You, a line from the song Arms, was the motto of this tour. The latter is also mentioned on the official tour t-shirts, see "Merchandise", and was used as the subtitle for the video compilation MMXIV - First Round (DVD), which features a series of audience video recordings from the concerts in May 2014. A similar DVD from the second part of the tour in July is not known to exist.

- For the Hamburg concert no coverart or page has been created so far.

- The gig in Prag is available as a full concert video on YouTube and on the page for that gig.
- Esch-sur-Alzette can be found on DVD only.
- The recording from Sonisphere 2014 does exist in the format of a compilation video only, available on YT and on the page for that gig.
