Wacken an Awesome Scorps Show 
2008-08-29
I bought this DVD through Amazon Canada almost one year ago because it was not yet released to the USA. Although there are no special features on this DVD the show itself was remarkable. The setlist was chosen by a vote of fans on the Scorpions website. I've been a Scorps fan since about 1982 and have seen them live 10 times since 1987. They are one of the best live rock bands in the world and they still play shows all around the globe throughout the year.
One of the great parts of this show was the addition of some songs I've never seen live and the collobaration with three former Scorps band members from long ago to play on stage. The audio quality is good, I can turn it up loud and enjoy the vibrating of the entire house. Although not top notch audio quality the previous live performance DVDs I've purchased by the Scorpions have all been less than adequate in that regard.
The show was shot at the Wacken Open Air Festival, a long-running four day heavy metal festival in northern Germany, about two hours from the Scorpions original hometown of Hannover. The Scorpions entertained the crowd of 60,000 people as the headliner of the opening night of the festival. Most European rock crowds that I've seen on video lack the enthusiasm of their United States brethren but this crowd was good, of course they were heavy metal fans just looking for a reason to mosh. :)
Excellent concert performance, very good video and audio quality. A Scorpions fan must have for the collection and a GREAT way to introduce young people to the musical performance these guys offer nightly around the world! Long Live Scorpions!
Share a special night with the Scorpions 2008-08-20
Very clear vocals,that may need to be turned down a bit when you are crankin' it,& the bass too,but excellent sound for live.The director incharge of the visual content needs to learn that more cameras & shots,does not make it a better show,as we don't get much coverage of the special performers in the gig.A must for all scorpion rockers.
Pathetic video, makes you blind

I don't understand why the editors needed to cut the best songs from the show. I also don't understand why the felt the need to change the camera angle EVERY FIVE SECONDS. This makes for a decent cd, watching the video is hazardous to your brain. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.
Not Pleasantly Surprised

I've loved the Scorps for just about as long as they've been a band and couldn't wait to see this DVD.
The music is fantastic, but as is written on other reviews, the production is amateur. The camera changes every 3-4 seconds so you never get to focus on anything. That would have been a cool effect every so often but not through the whole thing. The sound is not so great in places. On Coast to Coast, you can barely hear the lead guitar in places which is what makes that song so great, especially for a simple instrumental.
I wish they could take their footage and soundtrack and remix it better. This could have / should have been a much higher quality production.
But still, it's the Scorps and I'll watch it a thousand times!
Scorpions Rock this DVD 2008-07-16
All I can say is this is a great look at the Scorpions live and well worth the money. It is filmed extremely well and the sound is excellent. It pretty much covers their whole career with guest appearances from Uli Jon Roth and Michael Schenker. If you've ever seen the band live you will enjoy this DVD.

Great concert, they play a lot of classics from the 70's that I have never seen performed live before.
This is the best Scorpions Concert ever filmed! 2008-05-28
Of all the Scorpions concerts that have been captured on film, this one is the absolute best. All of the guys in the band look very fit, very happy, and very capable from the very first song. The music sounds great, and the huge crowd of 60,000 German fans are in high spirit throughout the performance. As an added bonus, there are guest appearances by Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker, Herman Rarebell, and Tyson Schenker. The show rolls on for over two hours, as the band performs a gigantic playlist of songs that span three decades of Scorpions music. Believe me, this is a really great live show that you will want to watch again and again. I have been lucky enough to see the Scorpions play live in Rotterdam, Holland. It was a such a great show, and this new DVD brings back a lot of memories for me. The Scorpions are still Rocking, and doing it WELL!
Awesome concert with terrible production value. 2008-04-30
This was an incredible show. Ulrich Roth, Michael and Rudolf Schenker as well as Mattias Jabs kicked butt. No doubt about it. Klaus was great too. My PAL formatted DVD played well. It skipped very quickly about 4 times but it didn't interfere with the entertainment value. Whoever cut this show up though, did a very poor job. Too many 3 second close ups and then going from scene to scene. Too many crowdshots also. All these great guitarists and their solos were so poorly put together by the producers. Bad job. I still have to give it a 5 star because of the songs and energy. It's worth the [...].
