Summary: SCORPIONS - "LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR 2006" DVD
Comment: THIS IS ONE GREAT "WHOLESOME", "HARD ROCK", "HEAVY METAL" CONCERT DVD!!! THESE GUYS ARE FROM GERMANY (THIS DVD WAS FILMED IN HAMBURG, GERMANY), AND THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN ROCKING SINCE THE EARLY 1970'S. THIS BAND AND THIS CONCERT IS "HARD ROCK", AND "METAL - GUITAR" ROCK AT ITS VERY BEST!!!
THE SCORPIONS ARE Klaus Meine on vocals and guitar, Rudolf Schenker on guitar and backing vocals, matthias jabs on guitar, James Kottak on drums and Pawel Maciwoda on bass. Then you get guest musicians of Uli Jon Roth, and Michael Schenker and Herman Rarebell.
The concert consists of 26 songs, all performed extremely well. Note - this is high-powered rock and roll!!! High Energy rock from some old pro's.
Germany loves Southern Rock, both Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynrd have recorded concert dvd's in Hamburg. And this "Southern Rocker" likes the Scorpions. I've been a fan for years, they are a good solid hard rock and roll band who put 100 percent Plus energy and effort into their performances. They are not vulgar, or evil or any of that kinda stuff, they are just a good "wholesome" hard rock band.
THIS IS A REAL HARD ROCK CONCERT, VERY WELL PERFORMED, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Summary: smack the editors
Comment: As mentioned by other reviewers, this DVD is just horrible to watch because of the absurd amount that the cameras cut away to another scene every few seconds. If you want to watch a guitar solo or anything else for that matter to absorb any details, forget it! The editor(s) didn't do the Scorpions justice. The music is good, but since this is a DVD and not a CD, I'm giving two stars for the spazoid video technique.

Summary: The same great band on stage
Comment: 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.

Summary: Wacken an Awesome Scorps Show
Comment: 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!

Summary: Share a special night with the Scorpions
Comment: 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.
