Rating: - The same great band on stage
A great band always give you excellent music. A good review of their best hits, including their previous players. I just hate the camera moving. You can't see nothing. Every take last half second. When they are doing solos the camera is taking everything but the player. In spite of this, good video.

Rating: - Wacken an Awesome Scorps Show
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!

Rating: - Share a special night with the Scorpions
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.

Rating: - 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.
