40 years ago, when I was in high school, I participated in this festival. I'm a 57-year-old man now. The festival was a lineup of White Snake, Michael Schenker Group, Bon Jovi who was still a newcomer at the time, ANVIL in Canada, and a dream. Of course, my purpose was Scorpions. That hot summer is my best memory. From Tokyo
I'm your age. We used to make fun of Bon Jovi because he was "just a rock star" while the others were "musicians," whatever that meant. My wife was 2 in 1984. She's been to 45 Bon Jovi concerts as a 13 year old to as a mom. She has no appreciation for the Scorps, and Bon Jovi was the last man standing. What the heck do I know? I thought the IBM Selectric typewriter would live forever once this computer fad passed. 😂😂😂
My first scorps album love at first sting! Jon bon Jovi is a sold out Biden supporter that can't sing anymore! Still time to repent Jon. God bless you fellow rocker! Jesus saves!
Saw nearly that same line up in Texas sometime before or after this. I think every live concert the Scorpions did were always some of the best live performances up there with Rush, Triumph, April Wine and a few more. Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Who could not touch Scorpions live in concert. Not even close. Rush still unbeatable but I love the Scorpions. Oh Ronnie James Dio with Rainbow was in this level of great concert performances. Stadiums aren't easy to sound good in. This is really excellent!
@@AntonioTorres-mo8bp Definitely above the typical stadium sound recordings of this era. And it was probably great at the show too. We saw Scorpions in Rice Stadium and Houston Colluseum mostly. Indoors shows were just so crisp and fantastic. One of the best live bands ever in my opinion.
Absolutely. The Scorpions always great in concert. Consistent. Highly talented. Enthusiastic and really seemed to love their fans. We always felt that here in Texas when Scorpions came through. Houston was a good city for Scorpions. Still I bet.
Wow ! It is so obvious , our beloved Scorpions are so amazing performers on the stage without saving energy, to give the best to audience on concerts 💯🔝👏🖐🇭🇷
The best rock and roll band of all time. Hands down, the most international band in the world as far as rock and roll. I loved this band in the 80s and I still listen to them regularly up to this day. Thank you SCORPIONS!!
Matthias is the best scorpions lead guitarist. exiting player. i have seen them twice , great both times. you can see how bon jovi copped there act and live ideas.
Well, aside from the fact that this was one of their last shows before they both began permanently bolting hats onto the tops of their heads to hide their balding scalps.
My Scorpions story is from the US Festival in los angeles. We drove from sac down to the show i was 16. Lost all my friends and ride home within an hour of the show starting. But as much as that plauged my entire time there two bands really lifted my spirits and made me forget my troubles. Triumph really had a soothing uplifting affect upon me that was very appreciated at the time. But when the sunset and the Scorpions took the stage their tone, volume, and stage performance was top notch. In my opinion the best looking and sounding band of the day without a doubt.
Was that Monsters of Rock? I was there, I had front row seats until the fans stormed the field and destroyed the seating. Metallica was destroyed and left in pieces, they were just not the same after.
@@jamesmcclain5005 No. US Fest was '83 and Monsters was 5 years later, '88. I saw them at Monsters of Rock and liked them even more than headliners Van Hagar. Scorpions played during sundown at Giants Stadium and a funnel tornado of garbage was swirling inside the oval of the stadium. I liked their smooth sound more than the empty bombast of VH with Hagar.
Incredible you were there!! I saw US Festival on MTV, and the way they took the stage at sunset, with the fighter jets flying over the stage was something to behold. Van Halen wasn't as good, Dave was such overrated in that show. I'm just a year older than you
@@martintapia9374 I saw Van Halan, they sucked. Their show was just so juvenile and not very serious, a lot of jumping around and making pyramids. I was at the front of the stage it was all girls, and when they looked down and saw me, they were pissed! I laughed in their faces! The Scorpions were another thing, very serious music and excellent performances, there are no bands that compare to them in concert, they have so many versatile music styles and they keep you riveted with their on stage presence.
I saw them April 9, 1984 in Austin Texas at the Erwin Center - still have the ticket stub. So hard to believe that was 40 years ago. Sadly the Erwin Center is being torn down. Saw lots of great bands there as a kid.. Thanks for the awesome music! Those were truly great times!
I remember going to the music store just two blocks from my house and seeing the album on a shelf. The store owner smiled and said: I knew you would like to see that. Since I was a regular and sent people to him, he took off $1.50, so I got it for $9.00. I went home, recorded the album to cassette and put it up. Has never been played since that first time. Still have it. Miss record stores.
An absolute favorite..there are times still when I need The Scorpions!! Saw them live in Albuquerque in 94 and 30 years on they never lose their drive and that sound just cements my rock!
@@josepuelles8320 It's been heavily overdubbed - even the crowd noise isn't real, it sounds like an indoor crowd. Seek out the original recording from this show and the bootlegs that are available. They're completely different.
He was their BEST BASS PLAYER. THE GUY THEY GOT NOW AND HAVE HAD FOR YRS I GUESS CAN'T PULL IT OFF.....TRIES TO BUT NO, SORRY. YOU'RE NOT FRANCIS BUDDY. NICE TRY THOUGH. LOL !!!
Klaus Meine has been one of my all-time favorite singers! He's got a powerful and unique voice. Seen them a few times. The Blackout tour was my favorite. But Animal Magnetism is my favorite album.
Klaus Meine was and still is an incredible singer!!! Seen Scorpions at least 17 times ... I'm hoping I'll get the chance to see them again at least once!!!
I am 58 and grew up on these guys. I loved the two guitars, Rudolf holding down the rhythm while Mathis pulled off some incredible leads during this era. He was my unsung guitar hero for his lead playing during the first four albums that he came into the band after no slouch of a guitarist Jon Uli Roth… Mathis brought a new experience and excitement to the band that eventually took them forward.
А ведь вспомните советские команды - Ария, Черный Кофе, Мастер... Одевались точно также и дурели на сцене не хуже. Мне 45. И черт-возьми я помню эти времена.
What you're hearing is NOT what the audience heard. You're listening to the performance as captured by a 24-track mobile recording truck, professionally mixed, sweetened, and mastered.
If you think the Scorpions are just a good band, just imagine the world without them. They have been rocking for decades and there is no slowing them down!
How lucky for those of us who had the privilege of belonging to the generation of the great prodigious decade and the joy of reaching old age, an opportunity that many are denied and that even today, 70 years later, we are listening to this wonderful music that makes us remember and brings out the little pieces of boys that we all have inside. Blessings to all who still enjoy the best music of all time and thanks to the champions of true music.
@@stefancolwell63 Agree 100% in terms of depth and virtuosity. But in terms of the straight-ahead, commercial hard rock the Scorpions became famous for Jabs was a perfect fit - better than Uli would have been.

Saw them at the Toledo Sport's Arena (now gone) in 1984 on the "Love at first Sting" tour. Blew me away. Bon Jovi opened, which going into it I was like "Okay, we hear the fluff band and then get to the good stuff". Richie Sambora handled that guitar very well and even though they are not my favorite, they gained respect that night. It was so hot in that arena, sweat, burning leaf and even though I enjoyed every song, it took a day of rest to get right after that party!!!
I was just 15 and took Trailways bus 2 buddy's and saw autograph,raven and believe it or not Aerosmith open for the scorps,on labor day of 85 in Phoenix 🤯
@@WilliamDurrant-km4gd It really happened and I don't believe it, there were up to 2 deaths due to encounters with knives, helicopters and everything you can imagine
Best line up ever! It's Sunday afternoon in 2024, rocking it and dancing, to these wonderful songs, the feeling I get is indescribable...is the same as in 1984, wow! Thanks Scorpions for all the wonderful music you've given us all these years! I love you!
Man when the Scorpions were on top of the world, such a raw and powerful concert, the best!!! When times were simpler. But I had my moment on stage with the Scorpions in 1996, won a contest singing the chorus to Wild Child in Winnipeg, MB Canada! I got free tickets, met Klaus, Rudolf, Matthias, new drummer and bassist. Then got to stand on stage surrounded by their women backup singers and sing, "Wild Child" but ended up singing the entire chorus with Klaus to his dismay...but hey, no one explained to us (other contest singers), but it was my best memory of the Scorpions!
I can't believe this was 40 years ago! It truly seems like yesterday! So many great memories come when I listen to these great songs! Keep rockin' guys!
That's pretty cool to see Japanese Scorpions fans. Looks like enough tickets to pay to see Japan sights and get the good noodles. Saw the Scorpions in these years in Texas many times. Great concerts every time. They played the material true to the studio versions. It helps that Klaus could sing the parts. Not many bands live up to their album performances. Scorpions shows were always fantastic!!! Hope all the surviving members and roadies are well. Thank you all of you!
Been listening to the Scorpions from the beginning and now at 63 I'm still blown away by them. I even have their Love At First Sting album that has the misprinted "Rock You Like A Hurricane'" where they spelled the title "Roch You Like A Hurricane"
How bout the Priest album that thinks the song is, "you've got another thing coming?" Um, it's "You've got another THINK coming." Imagine it in the context of a sentence. If you think I'll sit around.......as the world goes by............you're thinkin' like a fool, ..........cause it's a case of do or die ,.................If you think I'll let it go, you're MAD, ...............YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THINK COMING! See, think, think, think...................then "thing?" No, man! You've got another THINK coming.
I was a 14 years teenager and this concert makes me rebember my childhood when our idols was just simple and great musicians ,, great bands , i mean we were happy and we did,nt knew , God bless everyone 80.S Forever
My first concert was Scorpions in 1984. Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, just a few weeks after this performance. Still one of the best shows I've ever seen! I've seen Scorpions live more than a few times since then and believe me when I say they NEVER disappoint when it comes to live shows! 🤘

They'll be around FOREVER in my Heart and Mind
I've seen a lot of bands and Scorpions shredded all of them. They destroyed bands that toured with them!
Iron maiden самая великая живая группа
These guys were at the top of their games here, without a doubt
Never seenmor heard of them not being on TOP OF THEIR GAME.
THE WORLD AS WELL.
Masters since day ONE. 🔥💥😎😎
The quality of the performance is mind-blowing. Most rock bands of today can't hold a candle to this.
Nope, these crap bands today would get spanked like a red headed step child.
scorpions have to be one of the best sounding live bands...i saw them in 2010 and they sounded just and great live....

Monsters of Rock was a good tour for them too, in 1988/9
100 %
Totally agree!
Best their line up
And zero ballads in this set?!
I never realized what great stage presence Scorpions have. One of my favorite rock groups of all time.
What a high energy band, a truly unique voice of the lead man….
They were powerful in concert, it was like nothing I had seen before. They were like the group UFO on steroids!
Show...!!! Beautiful, it's seeing Klaus' and Rudolf's performance, they are really very good!!! 🤟💓💕💞🎸
That drummer is a beast !
YES , YES HE IS...I TRY TO PLAY LIKE HIM MYSELF. HE'S THEIR BEST THEY HAD. HE'S MY FAVORITE TOO OF ALL DRUMMERS !!
Appreciate the clarity in resolution of this recording! 🤘🫶🏻🤘
Put this awesome band into the RR Hall of Fame!!!!
What an incredible band caught in their prime!!
This is absolutely, 100%, Grade-A kickass. Names were taken. Asses were kicked.
That's pretty cool to see Japanese Scorpions fans. Looks like enough tickets to pay to see Japan sights and get the good noodles.
Saw the Scorpions in these years in Texas many times. Great concerts every time. They played the material true to the studio versions. It helps that Klaus could sing the parts. Not many bands live up to their album performances. Scorpions shows were always fantastic!!!
Hope all the surviving members and roadies are well. Thank you all of you!
they played Japan twice in the 70s,, Japan Loves them ,,
Been listening to the Scorpions from the beginning and now at 63 I'm still blown away by them. I even have their Love At First Sting album that has the misprinted "Rock You Like A Hurricane'" where they spelled the title "Roch You Like A Hurricane"
It's the melody
How bout the Priest album that thinks the song is, "you've got another thing coming?"
Um, it's "You've got another THINK coming." Imagine it in the context of a sentence.
If you think I'll sit around.......as the world goes by............you're thinkin' like a fool, ..........cause it's a case of do or die ,.................If you think I'll let it go, you're MAD, ...............YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THINK COMING!
See, think, think, think...................then "thing?" No, man! You've got another THINK coming.
I just turned 63; they are my favorite band. Last saw them in Las Vegas in 2023.
@@notmyname3883 Ease up on the dope. It's rotting your brain.

M.Jabs...
As usually totally underrated.
And F.Buchholz ...
Take my bow !!
This vid shows why Buchholz should never have dumped his Precision Bass for a Warwick. Incredible sound!
I was a 14 years teenager and this concert makes me rebember my childhood when our idols was just simple and great musicians ,, great bands , i mean we were happy and we did,nt knew ,
God bless everyone
80.S Forever
Simplemente únicos!!! Su calidad como banda y la calidad del video, sin palabras!!!! Saludos desde México.
My first concert was Scorpions in 1984. Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, just a few weeks after this performance. Still one of the best shows I've ever seen! I've seen Scorpions live more than a few times since then and believe me when I say they NEVER disappoint when it comes to live shows! 🤘
Been listening to them for 40 years. Still gives me chills! Seen them last year, but many times before that. Was at the world wide live tour.
In their prime and at the top of their game. Fabulous band.
Under rated vocalist. No crazy high notes but very solid and suits the music perfectly.
Klaus hit some crazy high notes on their 70's and early 80's albums.
This concert rocks!
This band needs to be in the rock hall of fame. Come on!!
