This footage is international treasure, a cultural heritage.
it really is,. it's significantly unmatched in the intensity and belongs to be shot out into space.
Uli in his "Hendrixism"... just fantastic! Too bad he had left the group. To me, this is the group's best formation.
I totally agree, however, by the time Taken By Force was released, management had him playing 30 minute solos & trying to get Scorpions into playing 3 minute singles with Michael & later Jabs. You wouldn't have fit into that style of songs. I'm happy he went off to play in Electric Sun to really let his lead guitar rip on a couple of albums before he went into neo-classical nonsense. Great to see him back with Scorpions from time to time. Really did like the first two Electric Sun albums better than what Scorpions were releasing at the time.
@@marcstevens8576 I love both versions of the band and for me Lovedrive is the best album they ever made. (Mick Schenker is my hero). I never saw them with Uli but they are one of the best best bands I've ever seen live. My favourite Uli era track is Speedy's Coming and there are some brilliant vids on here with things like Sails of Charon live.
A friend of a friend went to see them live in Germany and was extremely pissed off when Klaus sang the whole concert in German, you gotta grin or you would frown lol.
Once Uli left, they became a girly man band.
Sin duda alguna.
Worst singer I’ve ever heard. I actually had to edit out his vocals on tracks like ‘chaplain and I’ on electric sun. Try to listen to that without laughing. Amazed they ever let him near a mic.
Tokyo Tapes is a must have Scorpions album
Absolutely, still an epic listen
I had a mint original copy,
Now they re-pop it.
I absolutely agree! I watched an interview with Uli and Klaus and Uli didn't know why people thought Tokyo Tapes was such a great album. He did go on to say that after he went back and listened to the album again he finally understood the reason why it was so good.
I would say it's mandatory!
@@thomasconway631 I have known about Toyko Tapes for close to 40 years. Never heard it until about 4 years ago on a road trip. Fantastic! Should have picked it up way back. Lesson learned.
I have never heard another guitarist blend classical and blues the way Uli does. How he slipped under the radar as one of the greats is is a head scratcher. You always hear people talk about Randy Rhoads playing classical,Uli was doing it before him. The sails of Charon is in my top 10 of all time!
I literally just said the same thing to my partner. That everyone credits Randy with the neoclassical style when it’s clearly Uli!
How he’s not in the guitar mags all the time is a real head scratcher.
Blackmore
Because he never had a "hit song" whereas you can still hear Randy songs like Crazy Train and Flying High Again all the time on the radio - where I grew up you'd even hear Mr. Crowley once in a while
@@Marshall-uy2dv I agree with you totally. Randy was a very good guitarist that inspired a lot teenager wannabes, however, He wasn't Uli Roth. Although his style was pretty much based on Jimi:s, pretty much all of Scorpions songs he wrote, he played all of the instruments to, excluding drums, as he said it was easier to get it done without costing more studio costs. He later taught the others how the songs went. Polar Nights was their best song by far, as it was a Jimi -inspired song with one guy pretty much playing everything. After he left, They pretty much became A Political Rock Band. No complaints as They were great in The '80's, but were far different than they were with Roth playing lead guitar. Guess he played bass on their songs their songs, or, maybe Rudy did, as one could ever hear it....
@@bradmanharris7350 Granted Uli came before Randy & although he wasn't entirely original, being influenced by Jimi Hendrix, played so many different styles on his Sky Guitar, with & without The Scorpions. Don't get me wrong, Randy was a great inspiration to teenagers wanting to learn the guitar & were totally into Ozzy in the early '80's, however, by that time, Uli had left Scorpions & was barely known in America with his Electric Sun band, which was great for a while...
Uli Jon Roth playing Polar Nights is Amazing . The German Hendrix !
This is absolutely spellbinding so beautiful and stands so well after all these years
Such a cool era in the Scorpions timeline. All of "Uli Jon Roth" songs are like a mystical musical journey through the stars in the night sky.
It's their best era for me hands down. I like Matthias Jabs but for me there's a weird, heavy, otherworldly darkness to Scorpions early stuff that keeps calling me back time after time.
@@JoeyArmstrong2800 Agree with you totally as they had two different styles of songwriters going at it at the same time. There was Schenker & Meine, who wrote about half of the songs, while Uli Roth wrote the other half of them. It was great, as it really offered up a lot of both different & spaced-out stylings. It's a matter of opinion, however, their later '80's songs with Jabs playing lead, nothing against him, pretty much all sounded the same. Still love those early albums, except for Lonesome Crow. Music was very good, but what did they do his voice? Sounded like the vocal-track to a third-rate '60's Japanese horror film that we got stuck with on Creature Double Feature back on Saturday mornings.
@@JoeyArmstrong2800 exately, i only listen to uliscorp :)
@@JoeyArmstrong2800 Uli made the right decision on leaving Scorpions when He did. His styles of lead guitar wouldn't have fit in with the rest of them developing into a typical '80's band playing Four-minute hit, hard-rock songs. Nothing against Matthias what-so-ever, as he fit their later style perfectly. Still miss those old '70's albums like In Trance & Virgin Killer. They can't be replaced.
For me, there is no better era of this band. Roth is one of the top guitarists in the world.
Agreed. One of the worst singers, though.
This was the “DANGEROUS” Scorpions🦂🤘🏻
Wow so well said! Very true!
I think this era was his best playing ever....tokyo tapes is a great live album and his playing on that album is flawless and brilliant
I just saw Uli Jon Roth in Lakewood about a week ago. He still has his chops, even improvising a neo-classical piece while playing a nine-string Sky Guitar.
What he does is neither commercial nor everyone's cup of tea. But he is a remarkable musician and has so much to offer those who are willing to dig in!
He had better tone with a Strat.
custom made tremolo bar on Uli Strat is huge!
Exceptional. I was 9 years old then. Always loved the Scorpions
Learn from the master youngsters; this is how its done! No computer simulation, no triggers, no copy'n'paste, no cookie monster growls, no saggy baggy pants with the drawers showing, no scratchin' records; just straight up pure talent!!!
Dude can play! One of the best!
Uli opening up with such tasty licks and riffs all with a smile on his face, it's the cherry on top of an awesome song
The drummer was also a phenomenal 💪💥🥁
Rudy Lenners
@@alexandergrosse2349 only non-german member of Scorps...ever. He is Dutch!
Best drummer they had
@@tedmich they've had other non-German members - James Kottak, Paweł Mąciwoda, Mikkey Dee. Not too many, though!
@@tedmichBelgian.
This is the best, definitive and killer version of this song.
Ранние Скорпы просто улёт . Обожаю ! ❤🎉🎉🎉
Probably my favorite guitar player out of all of them. He’s like a wizard. 🤘🏽
OMG! Been listening to this album for 40 years but I've never seen a live video of it- amazing!!
Pretty clear whose influence is MASTERFULLY illustrated by Uli here!
Loved this SCORPIONS period, it was like two bands in one sorta. 🦂🔥
Amazing guy, Uli! Rock on brother!
This is the first time I've ever seen Rudolf playing an Explorer! The Scorpions will always be my favorite band.
Same
Then you should know they are named Scorpions. Not The Scorpions.
The Scorpions ‼️🦂 ‼️
⚡🔥🤘⚡🤘🔥⚡
This is like GOLD for fans of Tokyo Tapes and Uli era Scorps in general
Heavy hendrix influence here..love it
This is the best version of Scorpions in my opinion!!! Mind blowing footage!
Stop
For me on Tokyo tapes
I wholeheartedly agree. Although they became hugely popular later. The Uli Jon Roth era was amazing.
Un grupo que encantan soy un fan
This version could not make Scorpions as famous as right now
American TV never had live playing. This is great.
As much as I appreciate Uli as an amazing guitarist, his vocals are totally woeful.
I first heard this song sitting in a car on an icy cold but clear winter day in 1976. It blew my mind and I was never the same. I finally got a chance see Uli play live a few years back in a club that was far to small for his talent.
Were they playing live in the back seat? Cause...you sure didn't hear this on the radio
@@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cvtape deck ffs
Met this dude in America in my hometown. I took his picture holding up my Stratocastor and all I can say is You should have been there ❤😅
I am happy that my live concerts of Scorpions were mainly during the area of Ulrich Roth.
Jimification!! ❤
Motion picture cameras are audio visual time machine portals upon lost worlds.
What I love about Uli is he's always smiling when he's playing, absolutely joyful
Totally agree!!
You must love Eddie Van Halen then--- oh, everybody does...
@jondunmore4268 loved first four albums after that they lost their edge
Love this! Scorpions the best rock band in the world!! Listen to them daily❤
I have so much love and respect for Matthias Jabs for taking lead guitar dues for Uli Jon Roth... Stepping in and knowing you won't be able to really replace that guy in what he played takes some balls. He did a fantastic job in his way, but unfortunately we -almost- never witnessed the "old" songs on stage live... Love them both!
I would have given ANYTHING to be able to see this back in '77! I was truly obsessed with Uli's playing all through the 70s!
Just awesome!!!!!!
Ole boy was born to play that thing
If only UA-cam was around when I was a kid listening to this!
This is Uli Jon Roth at his peak obviously. Incredibly masterful player . Tokyo Tapes is my number one favorite live album.
Great early scorpions. I love this band. Been listening for over 40 years!! WHAT A BAND!! No one like you.. SCORPIONS.. I m a rock believer!!!!!!! 🎸🎶🎵🎸
Никто не любит SCORPIONS??
Same here I've been a huge Scorpions fan since the love at first sting album in1984. 🤘🎸🇺🇲
This is "middle" Scorpions. In the early years there was Michael Schenker on gtr.
Рот -вообще мастер высшей категории😊
Uli is god tier. I mean, thank you Hendrix and all those, Ulsi is till the best ever in this context. Pretty much blows away anyone alive to this day almost 50 years later.
I'm 58 and I've heard almost everything, Hendrix,Page,Marino,Nugent,...
And I Love Uli. !!!!!!😮 Amazing Guitar
🤯😳🤯
To me SCORPIONS is the BEST ever Rock Band, no other Rock Band has released so many top quality songs like the Scorpions and very very few Bands have enjoyed the 50yrs+ musical longitivity of the Scorpions, NOTHING BEATS THE SCORPIONS.
Iron Maiden is in this discussion all day!!! Both bands are fkn badass
Best of the Scorpions.
Jimi would have been proud no doubt!
A mi me encanta y SU caciones de los 70 son únicas un saludo dede España 🇪🇦🇪🇦👍😘
I met Uli about 11 years ago at a music lesson he gave. Hes a down to Earth no "airs" and an amazing Human Being. Ironically i really didn't get into his Scorpions era music until I found a couple Scorpions cassette tapes at a truck stop in the early 90s.
Rudy Lenners on the drums 👍👍👍👍👍
AWESOME...THIS SONG HAS THAT JIMI HENDRIX SOUND... AWESOME.🎸
Very Great guitar work, so spot on and very talented! Very under rated. Love this guy!
Love this concert! Uli Jon is great! Love him with my favorite band The Scorpions forever. Listen to them all the time.❤❤❤❤❤❤Love
ce ulrich roth , un ingénieur du son , de la grandeur d'un jimi hendrix , du grand art !
Hot dam! That was Uli ripping on just a Strat and a Marshall. Wow 🤯
WOW! That was freaking awesome! Uli is on fire! 🔥 I’ve always loved watching and listening to him play but this is on another level!
This song was pretty much A One-Man Show & was a spooky reminder of what Jimi would have been like, had He lived. Uli was the best lead guitarist that Scorpions, or any other band ever had, because he was both A Natural & did his solos with a smile on his face instead of later day others with their eyes closed and screaming for whatever. Nothing against either Michael or Matthias...
Uli John Roth - Champion & Legend
❤❤❤❤❤
A Great Video! I've Seen Uli Jon Roth In Concert Three Times And Met Him Several Times. He's Humble And Modest.
The best Scorpions setting ever.
Uli es un genio temazo 😊😊
A melhor musica e o melhor guitarrista do Scorpions de todos os tempos
HOLY S**T!!!! Uli is shredding!!!!
He always did it, even way before shredding was a thing
This dude is right there with so many of the greats!!
Can't get better than this 🤘
I love painting to Scorpions as loud as I can get it. Thanks for the upload!
Wow ...😲this is the first time i see rudolf holding and playing explorer guitar..
Me too
Uli great vocalist
I PERSONALLY THINK 🤔 THAT ULI SURPASSED JIMI HENDRIX BY FAR !! YOU JUST CANNOT TOP THIS.... THIS IS WHAT LEGENDS ARE MADE OF !!
Thank you for sharing this great abstract song and video.Capturing Ulrich Roth in his Scorpion prime incredible musician.
Soooooooooooooooooooooo appreciate this upload
Incredible guitar work on this track & a rare occasion when Klaus didn't sing lead!
But he should've.
@@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cv😂😂😂😂
Epic shredding from Uli John Roth. Great singing from him too. Awesome! Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🎸🎸🥁
Wow just wow. I liked this LP from the 1st note. I still listen to it a lot. This the 1st time I've seen them do it live! Uli is crazy good
This is one of The Very Few albums from the y genra of of rock that I can listen to from start to finish without skipping over lame songs.
@@marcstevens8576 100%
Wow as a long time fan of the Scorpions I never knew this,what a fanominal guitar player I just discovered 🙌🏼🎸
The times of Uli Jon Roth in the German band, the best time, gave a character of pure Hard Rock to Scorpion
When I was 13, my uncle took me to see Scorpions and Iron Maiden. I think it was the Blackout tour. So I decided I'd buy every Scorpions album, not realizing just how long they'd been around. My first score was a rare Lonesome Crow vinyl. When I put it on, I realized I was going on a journey. I found a lot of stuff in the "budget bins" in record stores. German "Greatest Hits". Tokyo Tapes with the awesome "We'll Burn the Sky". And here I thought they had only put out the Mathias Jabs era stuff- Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, Blackout, and Love at First Sting. But the Uli Jon Roth era just blew my mind. Sails of Charon? Frickin' amazing. I loved this band when it was really not cool to do so. I'm sorry, but Worldwide Live was the last Scorpions album I bought. I was just not a fan of the whistlin' Nineties material. But I still have my collection of the good stuff.
I saw the tour with Girls School, Iron Maiden and Scorpions. I didn't think much of Girls School that night, (they were excellent when I saw them open for Deep Purple a few years later). I did not like Iron Maiden until that night when they became one of my favorite bands. Scorpions owned, as they have each of the three times I have seen them.
That’s so cool!!
I seen the Scorpions open up for Rainbow’s Straight between the eyes tour. Without Dio as the frontman, NAH!! I was only there to see the Scorpions!!! During Rainbows set, the boys from the Scorpions came out and hung out in the crowd! Shook hands with all of them!! Best concert ever👍
@@MichaelMaxwell747I saw that tour in '82. I think Girlschool was there too. I found a site that has that line-up listed for 9/1/82 in LB CA. They had the setlist from that show!! I can't remember what everybody played, but they usually stick to a setlist for the whole tour, so chances are it was the same songs we saw on that tour! Pretty cool.
Same here, got into metal early 80's and bought ALL of their albums from the 70's - killer stuff!
@@mikedupont3716 Yeah, I was listening to DIO, Iron Maiden, Sabbath. Right before the Big 4 hit. Nice to know other people did the same thing. And for some reason, I started snatching up all the old Scorpions I could find. I checked import sections, budget bins... that's where I found most of it. So different from the '80s, but better IMO.
The guitar intro to this song reminds me of something by early Focus. Jan Akkerman is a phenomenal player.
Это Прекрасно!
Слышал на записях (катушки Basf рулили тогда... =))) ), но увидеть - Лучше.
Супер! Спасибо!
My mind is boggled how I’ve never heard this
The most beautiful dirty riff
The Ulrich Roth Experience
Nah
@@tonyogrinc6895 Yah
Ullie Rothix
Fantastic
Uli the best
Love it, Stephen.
Effin beast on guitar and vocals….
Aliens from other planets are mesmerized by Uli's skills.
Such a fucking groove
Rudolf you are so amazing like Uli love scorpions 🦂 🎸🎤🎼❤
Ils étaient génial, vraiment quel époque 😮.C'est un des meilleurs morceaux des Scorpions ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Uli does not get the respect he deserves as a pioneer of the melodic shred. Incredible guitar player.
Dont know what you’re talking about because uli gets tons of accolades and is very highly regarded by guitarists
@@knightfall9394 he is not a household name. Few know of him unless they are fans of the old Scorpions. His genius should be recognized by more people. That is what I'm saying.
Van Halen in their early LA club days in the 70s played two Scorpions covers, Speedy's Coming and Catch your train. Uli somehow influenced Eddie.
Those songs are my favorite from the Uli era. I would have liked to hear Eds version..
I was forever a fan of Uli after hearing the catch your train solo. Its amazing.
That was god damn amazing!
💥WOW!! What stunning music !! Many thanks for fantastic beautiful show!!🙏
Uli is smooth AF on the axe! 🤘
マイケルシェンカーがいたデビューアルバムも素晴らしいよね。
15歳であの音楽才能にギターテクニック
まさに神だよ‼️
Very different from what music kind scorpions are best known for. Great to have this one also!!
THIS is the classic Scorpions era.
Man, I love how close he gets to Hendrix
