I am Indian. My wife is East German, having grown up behind The Wall. I remember watching, in America, that fateful day in Nov 89 as the wall came down. 13 years before I met her. Our love was sparked by the music of the Scorpions. 2 children, and a lifetime later, we are in a different place, but those times will live with me forever.
I was in the army stationed in wildflecken Germany, 20 kilometers from the East German border in 89, when they announced it, I. Rode my bike into east Germany, it gave me a better perspective of why we were there, I love this song, and I love Germany
Joel, I share your sentiments 100%. I was stationed in Augsburg from 88-91; I can’t describe how surreal it was at the time and how beautiful it was that less than a month after, we were able to drive into Eastern European countries on a long weekend pass. I remember a friend and I driving from Augsburg to Prague for a long weekend. The people there were awesome and so happy.
Can you imagine being the last Soviet leader, celebrating your 80th birthday in London, listening to a (formerly) West German band perform a rock song celebrating your greatest accomplishment, which was joining with your opponent as friends and ending the cold war? I would have cried with joy!
and yet there are some (like a colleague of mine) who still equate this man with the evil USSR. and sadly enough Russia and other eastern european countries could not handle democracy nor could they overcome the power of oligarchy and authoritarianism. even our old friend Boris Yeltsin succumbed to it in the end. RIP all them peoples.
God works miracles and the wall came down. I walked where die Mauer (the wall ) was. I looked up to the heavens and said a pray. One day north/south Korea will be one.
I heard this song for the first time on the in-flight entertainment system on the way home from my first of many trips to Russia. I had tears streaming down my face. It was 1990 and I had literally just walked down to Gorky Park myself. I experience the wind of change on that trip, talking to many folks and falling in love with the Russian people. It was a hopeful time and really beautiful to meet and interact with wonderful people after being cut off from each other for so many decades. I am profoundly saddened that the promise of that time has become so tainted with disappointment in the years since. I am also saddened that so many here in the west are hating on the Russian people when it is their current government that is so onerous, not them. Russian people, just like most of the people I met in the 34 countries I made it to during my years of extensive travel, want basically the same things we do: for their children to be safe and grow up to a good life, to have food and shelter, to be able to spend time enjoying family and friends, to have a purposeful existence and to have peace in their country. Please don't hate on people when it's their government that tends to mess things up. We should know.
53 years old, this song at that time also symbolized change for my country (I'm Russian). I also hoped that everyone could live well and in peace. Oh god how naive I was
@@user-ex6cs3oe9s I hope you are getting the true news of the war Russia is waging on Ukraine. It's a tragedy, so many women, children, elders dead, cities devastated. Maternity hospital bombed, shelters caring for children bombed, so much devastation. We share love for Scorpions and music and hope for the best world. Right now it's not happening. It's crushing. Wishing you safety and the truth in news. Please reach out if you need real info about what is going on, will find a way to get it to you.
@@cristiep7377 I have enough truthful information about these events, because I live near Ukraine (70 km). I take this information not from mass media. I get it from people who are fleeing the war. War is evil. But she didn't start this year. It has been in Donbass for the last 8 years. And there, too, children and women died. Why did no one talk about this except Russia? Russia does not start wars, it ends them. ua-cam.com/video/wHylQRVN2Qs/v-deo.html Russians love children too.
1983 was a scary year to be an American teenager (I'm 56 now), and when 1989 came, I was completely baffled. What just happened??? We went from being on the edge of nuclear annihilation to a reunified Germany? It seemed so sudden. It took a long time to sink in for me. I had German friends telling me in 1987 that there were plans to reunify Germany, and they thought it would be happening soon. I blew it off. Impossible! We couldn't even get Mr. Gorbachev to tear down that wall. How could Germany reunify? My head was spinning. Poland really started things, but then everywhere else it happened so fast, one nation after another, then suddenly there was not only a reunified Germany, but no more Soviet Union? Russia was a democracy??? Jesus Jones and Scorpions gave me something to hold onto. It was so powerful I cried with joy when I heard those songs, especially Wind of Change, because Scorpions were Germans, living that dream firsthand. Jesus Jones was like me, an observer looking on in wonder. In the 80s, the Cold War wasn't an event, it was just reality. It was how things were and would always be, I thought. The end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany are proof that anything is possible, absolutely anything, if we really want to make it happen, and with a little luck.

@@teri8058 Do you also remember that Reagan and Gorbachev became real, genuine friends, and that they together negotiated a reduction in nuclear arms of about 80-90%, essentially ending the arms race? Reagan and Gorbachev both started off as hardcore hawks, and each had his own change of heart. I hated Reagan, but I will always give him joint credit with Gorbachev for giving us another chance, as the OP said. They pulled us back from the edge, like Kennedy and Khrushchev before them did (after pushing us there in the first place, in both cases).
@@beenaplumber8379 Well, I really HATED Ronald Reagan because of him being the WORST U.S. President of the 1980's! After all, his policies were total disasters for America and the world especially with the biggest joke of all history: the Cold War! I saw NO REASON to forgive him and Mikhail Gorbachev for the so-called "winds of change" in the world.
@@teri8058 Well, I rather forget Reagan because of his foreign and domestic policies which were total disasters for America and the world. At least, he was very OVERRATED as U.S. President in the 1980's as well.
And if you go back just six years earlier you might remember a time when we were all on the brink of being dead with fear and hate... and nukes. The past is never the utopia we like to remember so fondly when we get older. Back then I never knew if I ever would get older. That brief moment was an extraordinary time to be alive though, no denying it.
Yes we are. Our souls and feeling of music is unexplainable. We eat, and sleep music (exaggeration) Music changes me, i can have the worst day and hear some of my favourite music, get "Goose Bumps" and my brain thinking relaxes

I'm an old man now. 49 years old. Some may say I'm not that old. However, life in the fast lane is catching up with me fast! At a tender 12 years old, my school friends & I were scared of 2 potential things...dying of AIDS & a nuclear holocaust. Neither of these happened, Thank the Lord. We learned sexual responsibility at school and...more importantly..the cold war ended. One day, Jew will embrace Arab, Muslim will embrace Christian, there will be no more divisions between creed, colour, race, gender, sexual orientation or opinion. Whoever you are? Who ever has given their precious time to read this? Let's make PEACE not WAR. Life is a tiny shaft of light in a, sometimes, immensity of darkness. PLEASE PLEASE let's learn to ALL come together in peace.
Philip Grimshaw wish we all can comprehend a little bit more about been human beings and not enemies of war.May the Good Lord always Blesses us no matter of race,color or your beliefs.Make Peace not War✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
YOU need to run for POTUS! ( But what you say about embracing will only come when religion is discarded! Will not happen before that, as it gives every believer a superiority complex!)
It must've been such a thrill for the band -and as the composer of the song-Klaus in particular to hear the song being played by the London symphony orchestra . Wow . 🤘♥️🦂👍
The Scorpions will always be an iconic band, and this song is my favorite by them. Its tune is so haunting and the lyrics take me back to my teens, when the Berlin Wall finally came down.
Yes! Born in our times yet destroyed in our times! We witnessed its Birth and its Death. We were beholden then to do the Right thing and We did! Take Courage in that!
When you really think about it, every kind of music has its time going back through the centuries even. Thankfully some musics prevail through time, like the magnificent classical music of the masters .Any truly memorable music will go on for ever as long as there are people to listen . I explore most musical genres irrespective of the language and culture, and listen to just about everything I can get my ears around. All the music we have lived through since the 60's will become the classical music of the future. Not including the popular garbage we have been bombarded with since the late 80's,with a few a few exceptions :-).
I thought the same thing. Saw a concert on cable a while back. 30 years later, he still sounds amazing. Glad to hear them still performing. I still have my original cassette of theirs I bought in the 80s.
@@johnknouse6984 Agreed. I still have mine too! In fact, after I saw this video, I went back & listened to this song on the album & was pleasantly surprised by how Klaus still sounds like he did when the "Crazy World" album came out.
I am literally overwhelmed at all your posts and comments to my initial comment. There's been times when I've nearly had my faith in humanity crushed..but now I'm healed. May the God (or indeed, gods) of your choices Bless you ALL. I sincerely hope that you ALL...(as I have) I find peace, hope & above all...LOVE in the kindness of strangers. Merry Christmas everyone. ❤
Beautiful Couple.. She is one clever,smart, unbelievably intelligent Lady… She is more than a wife… she is Jon’s best friend, and Respect him, his career, his way to handle His friendship with His loving friends, band mates… I really admire her… I Love Jon Bon Jovi, endlessly ❤❤
This is such an awesome song one of my favorites. There are many winds of change if only they could all be for the good. This sounds great with an orchestra
Margaret Thatcher said to Ronald Reagan. We can do business with Mr Gorbachev Thank God he listened. The end of the Cold War was the most important thing to have happened in my lifetime.
Colin Baldwin YESSS!!! And here's something not many know:. America's ignominious loss of the Viet Nam War caused an aversion to conflict in the American people and the American government that allowed the Cold War to continue until the Soviet Union collapsed from within... .
I think this song went down in the history of Germany when the wall came down. There was hardly a song in the world that was played so often and where you could see many, many people crying. It was actually an unforgettable time for all of us with politicians who were still THOUGHTING what one cannot say about many of today's politicians, if they can even think.
La calidad no se compra,se crea, pero sobretodo se mantiene,grande SCORPIONS forever, el acompañamiento de la sinfónica igual de grandioso,gracias por tanta CALIDAD!!!!!!!
Life is full of unsolved mysteries, riddles,puzzles, conundrums and unanswered questions. Amongst the biggest is how is it that Scorpions are not in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame???????
I have seen Scorpions twice and this guy still got the same voice is incredible one of the best raw rock & roll amazing they should be on the wall of fame is simply as that congratulations my grandma is dying of cancer and she cries just to listen there songs and it makes me cry to..
Mikhail Gorbachev have every person on this planet a great gift, the promise of a better world. A world free of fear and oppression. We should all remember him as the living embodiment of what a truly good man is, loving and inspired.
I still cant fucking believe i got to SEE THEM LIVE 😭💔 AH I STILL REMEMBER WHEN WIND OF CHANGE STARTED PLAYING 😭 it really was a magic of a moment on a glory night
Forever an important and moving song, this orchestrated version with the LSO was beautiful! Klaus’ voice is still as good as ever. The Scorpions still remain one of my favourite heavy metal bands! Peace and love to all!
December 20, 1988 Frankfurt Germany I saw them live for the first time.. LOVED THAT SHOW!!!!!! Still have my ticket stub. Been a fan since i heard the blackout album when I was in middle school.
Klaus Meine is in perfect key here, it's good to see that ha can still sing in the right key for these special Orchestral performances. Always good to hear, a lot of bands go lower and lower lower. Others just stay high and fade away quicker than others. The Scorpions have gone lower on occasions but it's good to see that Klaus' lungs can still handle the odd battering hehehe.
It is a good arrangement, but I prefer the original guitar and drum only version, but it's not often bands perform live in front of an orchestra, and this was well pulled off none the less
Ja, Gorbi hat uns hier Frieden gebracht und hat die "Unstimmigkeiten" in der Welt einfach mal soeben vernachlässigt;- genau ,wie es dieser Song ausdrückt!😇👃
Yes, there has never been a more significant and relevant song that expresses the contemporary social and political change in the world more than this song: Gorbachev's Perestroika Glasnost, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Unification of two German nations, the end of the cold war. Yes, One day, we will sing this song to our grandchildren and tell them that we are the generations that had witness this all and lived to tell the tale.

Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (the glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (in the wind of change)

I'm 74 and still diggin the Scorpions. Great band. Seems they don't do a song unless it has awesome meaning. Love Them.
This was very special . Them with an orchestra . MAGIC
I'm an old man now. 49 years old. Some may say I'm not that old. However, life in the fast lane is catching up with me fast! At a tender 12 years old, my school friends & I were scared of 2 potential things...dying of AIDS & a nuclear holocaust. Neither of these happened, Thank the Lord. We learned sexual responsibility at school and...more importantly..the cold war ended. One day, Jew will embrace Arab, Muslim will embrace Christian, there will be no more divisions between creed, colour, race, gender, sexual orientation or opinion. Whoever you are? Who ever has given their precious time to read this? Let's make PEACE not WAR. Life is a tiny shaft of light in a, sometimes, immensity of darkness. PLEASE PLEASE let's learn to ALL come together in peace.
Philip Grimshaw wish we all can comprehend a little bit more about been human beings and not enemies of war.May the Good Lord always Blesses us no matter of race,color or your beliefs.Make Peace not War✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Amen brother
Yes...hope never end
YOU need to run for POTUS! ( But what you say about embracing will only come when religion is discarded! Will not happen before that, as it gives every believer a superiority complex!)
Amen to that!!!
I remember hearing this song and watching the wall come down. I shivered then and still do. It's a very important part of my childhood
@Draka Winkle - I think Germany should just ROT IN HELL and the Berlin Wall should be better off forgotten as well!
It must've been such a thrill for the band -and as the composer of the song-Klaus in particular to hear the song being played by the London symphony orchestra .
Wow .
🤘♥️🦂👍
Meilleure plaidoirie pour la paix qu'aucun autre discours.
Merci infiniment aux Scorpions.
The Scorpions will always be an iconic band, and this song is my favorite by them. Its tune is so haunting and the lyrics take me back to my teens, when the Berlin Wall finally came down.
Yes! Born in our times yet destroyed in our times! We witnessed its Birth and its Death. We were beholden then to do the Right thing and We did! Take Courage in that!
Скорпионс - Вы группа на все года , на все века. Мы вас слушаем, дети слушают ... И внуки будут слушать! ❤❤❤❤
Well said , pece to all the world salute from USA
My Scorpions forever. I truly love this group.
Listening to the song during the lockdown at Kolkata. Immortal song
One of the Most Talented Bands Of All Time......Vielen Dank Scorpions....
The Scorpions & the London Symphony together, anything is possible.
When you really think about it, every kind of music has its time going back through the centuries even. Thankfully some musics prevail through time, like the magnificent classical music of the masters .Any truly memorable music will go on for ever as long as there are people to listen . I explore most musical genres irrespective of the language and culture, and listen to just about everything I can get my ears around. All the music we have lived through since the 60's will become the classical music of the future. Not including the popular garbage we have been bombarded with since the late 80's,with a few a few exceptions :-).
Que lindo
Anything is possible, like East and West Germany becoming Germany 🙂
Great Band
im 67 this year. didnt think id live this long. hope someone remembers to play this when i go . (sab SA 12/03/2021)
I really hope that Mr. Gorbachev enjoyed this concert thoroughly!
Klaus has kept his voice in great shape over the years, he knows his limits and has never really abused it.
I thought the same thing. Saw a concert on cable a while back. 30 years later, he still sounds amazing. Glad to hear them still performing. I still have my original cassette of theirs I bought in the 80s.
@@johnknouse6984 Agreed. I still have mine too! In fact, after I saw this video, I went back & listened to this song on the album & was pleasantly surprised by how Klaus still sounds like he did when the "Crazy World" album came out.
And he can still whistle with the best of them
@@john-boy4283 No doubt about it. 🤘
Most Importantly he never took up cigarettes! which have wrecked the voices of several great vocalists
wow!! amazing live performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love the scorpians
these singers are among the peacemakers for this magnificient world . thanks to you
Always loved this song..
I am literally overwhelmed at all your posts and comments to my initial comment. There's been times when I've nearly had my faith in humanity crushed..but now I'm healed. May the God (or indeed, gods) of your choices Bless you ALL. I sincerely hope that you ALL...(as I have) I find peace, hope & above all...LOVE in the kindness of strangers. Merry Christmas everyone. ❤
💗💗💗💗💗💗
Merry Christmas 😘
There is only one god.
A 26 yo from the Philippines here. 😍😍😍
Beautiful Couple.. She is one clever,smart, unbelievably intelligent Lady… She is more than a wife… she is Jon’s best friend, and Respect him, his career, his way to handle His friendship with His loving friends, band mates…
I really admire her… I Love Jon Bon Jovi, endlessly ❤❤
One of the greatest rock band of all time..
This is such an awesome song one of my favorites. There are many winds of change if only they could all be for the good. This sounds great with an orchestra
That my dear fellow human beings is how you open a show! What an intro!!!!
Margaret Thatcher said to Ronald Reagan. We can do business with Mr Gorbachev
Thank God he listened.
The end of the Cold War was the most important thing to have happened in my lifetime.
Colin Baldwin YESSS!!! And here's something not many know:. America's ignominious loss of the Viet Nam War caused an aversion to conflict in the American people and the American government that allowed the Cold War to continue until the Soviet Union collapsed from within... .
Colin Baldwin - I agree 100%. We're due for another "most important thing". The pendulum is on the way back. We'll see it soon.
Despite what anyone says, Ronald Reagan was one of the most important presidents in our history.
@@bryanseitz6235 - agreed, and despite what the lunatic left says, Trump will be another very important prez.
Then came Trump and reversed it all back!!!
Hermosa canción no se compara con ninguna exelente banda de las mejores del mundo nincs morira esta música y ests canción llega al alma 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
70s and 80s must consider the golden era of music. the songs of these era never grown old. the more i listen the deep i fall in love.
Grazie mille per musica e parole.....ho provato commozione,... siete grandi ssimi.....ANNA ❤️💖💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️💖❤️💖 iiiii
They did a classic mix of heavy metal and beauty
MAN WHAT A GREAT SONG.....I CRANK IT WHEN I HEAR IT!!!
Real talent, real music rocks....I deeply missed those day
I think this song went down in the history of Germany when the wall came down. There was hardly a song in the world that was played so often and where you could see many, many people crying. It was actually an unforgettable time for all of us with politicians who were still THOUGHTING what one cannot say about many of today's politicians, if they can even think.
di tahun betapapun anda mendengarkan lagu ini.....pasti akan terbuai...ini bukan sembarang lagu....
I have not heard this song for years. Absolutely beautiful.
still sends shivers down my back,fantastic amazing song.
If ever a song captured the mood and anticipation of a feelgood human event it was this one .
“Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night” Truly a magic night for a world at peace.
A world at peace ?????? With a brainless person in the US ?????
The concert happened in 2011 when Obama was president. The world was relatively more peaceful then.
@@davitong how about now..Putin is undoing everything Gorbatchov did... greetings from Finland
Ufffff this music will live forever 2020
La calidad no se compra,se crea, pero sobretodo se mantiene,grande SCORPIONS forever, el acompañamiento de la sinfónica igual de grandioso,gracias por tanta CALIDAD!!!!!!!
Life is full of unsolved mysteries, riddles,puzzles, conundrums and unanswered questions. Amongst the biggest is how is it that Scorpions are not in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame???????
Phil Serna ....you got that right
Love this song so beautiful ❤️
I have seen Scorpions twice and this guy still got the same voice is incredible one of the best raw rock & roll amazing they should be on the wall of fame is simply as that congratulations my grandma is dying of cancer and she cries just to listen there songs and it makes me cry to..
From São Carlos SP - Brazil - Beautiful tribute to the legendary Mikhail Gorbachev, fantastic.
Mikhail Gorbachev have every person on this planet a great gift, the promise of a better world. A world free of fear and oppression.
We should all remember him as the living embodiment of what a truly good man is, loving and inspired.
I still cant fucking believe i got to SEE THEM LIVE 😭💔 AH I STILL REMEMBER WHEN WIND OF CHANGE STARTED PLAYING 😭 it really was a magic of a moment on a glory night
Forever an important and moving song, this orchestrated version with the LSO was beautiful! Klaus’ voice is still as good as ever. The Scorpions still remain one of my favourite heavy metal bands! Peace and love to all!
Long time scorpions fan, and that was beautiful. Wow....
Always love this song.. Oct 2019
Bands of my time 60’s 70’s are still relevant today.
Sscorpion is one of the best
Iam from iran &live with this songs
1 of the best vocalist on earth
I love you scorpion.
Una de las mejores canciones de la música del mundo .🤘🤘🤘🇪🇸
December 20, 1988 Frankfurt Germany I saw them live for the first time..
LOVED THAT SHOW!!!!!! Still have my ticket stub. Been a fan since i heard the blackout album when I was in middle school.
Klaus Meine is in perfect key here, it's good to see that ha can still sing in the right key for these special Orchestral performances. Always good to hear, a lot of bands go lower and lower lower. Others just stay high and fade away quicker than others. The Scorpions have gone lower on occasions but it's good to see that Klaus' lungs can still handle the odd battering hehehe.
I have goosebumps. it's the same feeling I have listening o John Lenon's IMAGINE or Kansas Dust in the Wind.
WOW!.... WHAT A VOICE!... IT NEVER CHANGED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! ...UNBELIEVABLE!!!...EPIC!!!
The orchestra adds so much to the beauty and majesty of this song. Brilliant.
It is a good arrangement, but I prefer the original guitar and drum only version, but it's not often bands perform live in front of an orchestra, and this was well pulled off none the less
The best song ever!
Песня супер никогда не надоест.Можно слушать бесконечно.
A Song To Remember your past Memories I Love SCORPIONS SONG'S Very Much 💚💙💛🧡❤️🖤💜🖤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ja, Gorbi hat uns hier Frieden gebracht und hat die "Unstimmigkeiten" in der Welt einfach mal soeben vernachlässigt;- genau ,wie es dieser Song ausdrückt!😇👃
Yes, there has never been a more significant and relevant song that expresses the contemporary social and political change in the world more than this song: Gorbachev's Perestroika Glasnost, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Unification of two German nations, the end of the cold war.
Yes, One day, we will sing this song to our grandchildren and tell them that we are the generations that had witness this all and lived to tell the tale.
Valentine Sohtun I remember President Ronald Reagan asking Mr Gorbachev to tear down the wall!
I’m so happy for the people in Berlin
Klaus is AMAZING! I can only wish that I had the Singing Voice that I had 30 years ago! Awesome Brother!
Sublime!!!despues de tantos años....y sigue con su voz intacta,increible!!!👌
Oo lagu nya mantab scorpion.
Love when the bad azz rock bands play with the classical! Awsum!!
