It's amazing how one can wish, as I do, that Uli had stuck around to do two or three more albums with the Scorpions, but at the same time admit that Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, and Black Out are absolute classics. It's like we wish that Roth could magically do a few more albums with the band without so much as a year passing out of the actual timeline.
I claim that Uli and Ritchie Blackmore are the Godfathers of Shred! Alex Lifeson also might fit into that mould about 7 minutes into "The Necromancer" from Rush's Caress of Steel album.
Almost fifty years ago. and I was there with them, on record and in concert, t-shirts and ticket stubs. Great killer band playing Heavy 'Rock Music. Love the 'Scorpions.
Wow, what a treat seeing some rare early performances by the Scorps! Odd thing though... after watching the video, I now inexplicably seem to have a strong urge to buy 5 sets of matching white platform boots. :-)
On This Is My Song it's Jurgen Rosenthal, which later will join Ulrich Roth's band Electric Sun , after the maestro's leaving Scorpions in 1978. On Speedy's coming it's Rudy Lenners which joined Scorpions for their Third album "In Trance" till "Virgin Killer", then left for health issues. Hermann Rarebell replaced him for the fifth album "Taken By Force".
Even though Uli is a superior guitarist to Mattias,the Scorpions wouldn't had made it bigtime and gone more commercial heavy metal.Uli wanted to stick to classical guitar.I wish when they did the renunion in 2006 that they would have played more of the '72-'77 songs like Sails of Charon and Polar Nights and Dark Lady.I was BLOWN away to some of the Scorpions material they had then when my brother in Law turned me on to the old Scorps 20 years ago.Fly to the Rainbow is masterfully done as well as In Trance,Virgin Killer and Taken by Force.Tokyo Tapes is a MUST for any Scorps fan.Klaus and Rudolf wanted to go with a certain sound that were easy melodic Metal that made them a worldwide supergroup.That's why Lovedrive-Sting sound so different from the early years.Lonesome Crow was even more unusual than ANY Scorpions album with Michael playing all the leads.
Although he was only credited on 3 tracks (Coast to Coast, Another Piece of Meat and Lovedrive), Michael Schenker also played on Loving You Sunday Morning (the 1st solo) and Holiday.

If you think about it. How long the scorpions have been ROCK,n and ROLL, n. Amazing! Give yourselves a big treat and go pick up a copy of Scorpions (Tokyo Tapes ) you won't regret it.
Hey, he wanted to go his own way and I respect that. I'm just glad that they snagged Uli when they could. My favourite albums were always the Uli ones!
@@Driven2Beers Uli later admitted that maybe he should have stayed with the band a little longer. But he was too impatient to do his own projects. Fortunately, Klaus was able to convince him to at least take part in the Japan tour before leaving. Otherwise we wouldn't have the Tokyo Tapes.
Muzica si SCORPIONS sant ptr. mine un suport de sustinere psihica, sufleteasca, este insasi frumusetea vietii, atunci cand ascult. Chiar santeti un fenomen neinteles si totodata sublim si sensibil. Va multumesc ptr. ceea ce imi oferiti de fiecare data. Atunci cand sant demoralizata, simt nevoia balsamului muzical pe care il ascult cu placere.
Uli's double-tracked sound in the beginning... I mean, that's what one of the best sounds I've ever heard. Then soon after you get all the cool tape flange stuff. If I found those sounds in my entire lifetime I'd be happy, he has both in one freaking song!
You can get it TC electronic doubler pedal and Strymon Deco for tape flange sounds also quintessence harmonizer pedal as well for the guitar harmonies in the Scorpions as well
Robert Martin Agree with it completely. Problem was that most of the band wanted to go for a more commercial sounds, while Uli Jon Roth wanted the band to be more of a platform for his musical experimentation. After he left, Scorpions took a steep decline in overall quality. Same can be said about Judas Priest. Their pre-hell bent for leather work was great and innovative, after which they took the cheesy commercial route
Τhank you Ming ... yes i am Greek and very proud for it ... love Scorpions since i was little boy and listened them first time ... i remember first song from them was "No One Like You" on a tape in an old walkman who were in my sister room ... 1985 and I 10 years old ... !
happy birthday Klaus Meine (Hannover, 25 maggio 1948)... è un cantante heavy metal tedesco, della nota band tedesca Scorpions. Ha scritto la maggior parte dei testi e svariate musiche delle canzoni della band.
Puta que o pariu,em 1999 mais ou menos num buraco la em cuiaba achei uma coletanea de 78 do scorpions com as musicas da ¹ era. Eu escutava escutaba e escutava, o dia inteiro eu fiquei louco com as musicas, aquela energia era incrivel. Da pra acreditar que eles daziam esse som no inicio dos anos 70???Mesmo hj eu tremo so de lembrar dessa epoca. Fui no show em SAo paulo por volta de 2012, respeito tremendo pela banda mas ainda sim prefiro a era do hard rock mais pesado da banda, anos 70 e meados de 80
By far my favorite era of Scorpions by far. Not that Mattias is bad his guitar fit the direction they took. It seems crazy whammy solos were not fitting the radio music (shame). Uli still rocks and his scorpions 40th revisited is well done . if you are a fan get it !
The Speedy's Coming performance was definitely light years ahead of its time. To say that no one was doing that sound in 1974 is an understatement. Finding full concert footage of the Uli era, especially the Tokyo Tapes shows, is like discovering the Ark of the Covenant apparently. Even pre-superstardom Kiss has full concerts you can watch but sadly no Uli era Scorpions.
This always reminds me of being a kid in West-Germany in the 70s and sometimes hanging out with my best friend's older brother's friends at his parties. All the guys looked like Uli. So did the girls..minus the mustache. It always smelled funny, too...
Check out Uli's bridge and tremolo bar that he had machined,it reaches all the way to the neck pickup!There's a good picture of it on the cover of In Trance.
What do you mean by "he machined"? He replace original bridge and whammy bar ? I'm not specialist of Fender but what you say is very interesting, maybe Hendrix did the same "update" on his white strat?
I do not agree. Their sound is representative of the 70's hard rock and metal, so they sounded as they had to sound back then, because that "way ahead" you say, has never come and never repeated. 🤘
Fly to the rainbow great album nice to see a clips were saved and share brought back a lot to me and i am sure to many Uli was a great replacement for Michael for at the time i did not think their could not have been not a bad song on this album along with a few more after like in trance and Virgin killer and yet must mention Lonesome crow with Micheal Schenker great band to study and follow Klaus Meine only got stronger through out the years and so did the band but i need ti admit the early year remain timeless for years to come and will never get old making rock to live forever.

Only a band this damn awesome could lose Michael Schenker and actually get better. Uli Roth is God.
truly.
And only band this dawn awesome could lose Uli and actually get better. Matthias Jabs is so awesome also!
Imagine if Rudolph had left instead
@God Love LOL Michael trash’s him every time they ask him about him
Yeah, and he influenced a shitload of the best guitarists that came later on.
This sounds like a mix of Punk and Hard Rock to me! Love this band
Love you Klaus..... Speedys coming because Still.... I am in Trance....! ! ! !
The early years of scorpions were their best.
Great song by a great band, Glad to see Scorpions beyond Rock You Like a Hurricane.
It's amazing how one can wish, as I do, that Uli had stuck around to do two or three more albums with the Scorpions, but at the same time admit that Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, and Black Out are absolute classics. It's like we wish that Roth could magically do a few more albums with the band without so much as a year passing out of the actual timeline.
This is the Scorpions i grew up to!
Has anyone ever looked more rock n roll than Uli Jon Roth?
UDO from ACCEPT, comes to mind
настоящая музыка. Настоящий рок. Такого не где уже нет.
Да,это навечно. Слушать и смотреть. 😊
Fly To The Rainbow,,,What A Classic!!!!!!!!
oh Klaus what a amazing voice....
I put him up with Mercury, Halford, Bach (Sebastian), and Dickenson. Mind you, I put Ronnie Dio in a class all by himself!
Love all this older stuff by the group
Scorpions, toda mi vida ha estado ligada a su musica,unicos, inigualables
"Speedy's Coming" is such a great song it's in this clip twice.
I love the OLD scorpion stuff it really rocked they good now, but I really like the raw stuff they did in 60s and 70s
Mary Ripberger jjjjj
How many good songs , the scorpions had so many!!!!
Guitar Right at the Start KILLS EVERYTHING!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Man Uli shreds awesome
I claim that Uli and Ritchie Blackmore are the Godfathers of Shred! Alex Lifeson also might fit into that mould about 7 minutes into "The Necromancer" from Rush's Caress of Steel album.
I love this old stuff they should have kept playing this, Herman and U were great and,there's no voice like Klaus
Damn what a voice
Sure. I like Alice Cooper. I like Ringo Starr. I like David Bowie. I LOVE Scorpions !!!
This is so wonderfully raw, never even heard of the 70's stuff, thanks UA-cam!!
Ulli ist ein Unikat hoffe noch auf paar Projekte mit ihm
Almost fifty years ago. and I was there with them, on record and in concert, t-shirts and ticket stubs. Great killer band playing Heavy 'Rock Music. Love the 'Scorpions.
Как он завораживает своим взглядом ❤❤❤
such a powerful voice
Wow, what a treat seeing some rare early performances by the Scorps! Odd thing though... after watching the video, I now inexplicably seem to have a strong urge to buy 5 sets of matching white platform boots. :-)
And the amazing drummer from Eloy...nobody says nothin about him...!!!!!!
On This Is My Song it's Jurgen Rosenthal, which later will join Ulrich Roth's band Electric Sun , after the maestro's leaving Scorpions in 1978. On Speedy's coming it's Rudy Lenners which joined Scorpions for their Third album "In Trance" till "Virgin Killer", then left for health issues. Hermann Rarebell replaced him for the fifth album "Taken By Force".
Jurgen is a shitty player in my opinion, the guy that replaced him on in trance is much better in my opinion
Skylar Star
I COMPLETELY disagree. Drum work on Fly to the Rainbow is amazing.
He's grooving pretty hard
This is what I look for! Thank You. I wish I could see more!!!
As much as I LOVE Matthias Jabs, I would LOVE to see Uli J. Roth join the the Scorpions again!
Even though Uli is a superior guitarist to Mattias,the Scorpions wouldn't had made it bigtime and gone more commercial heavy metal.Uli wanted to stick to classical guitar.I wish when they did the renunion in 2006 that they would have played more of the '72-'77 songs like Sails of Charon and Polar Nights and Dark Lady.I was BLOWN away to some of the Scorpions material they had then when my brother in Law turned me on to the old Scorps 20 years ago.Fly to the Rainbow is masterfully done as well as In Trance,Virgin Killer and Taken by Force.Tokyo Tapes is a MUST for any Scorps fan.Klaus and Rudolf wanted to go with a certain sound that were easy melodic Metal that made them a worldwide supergroup.That's why Lovedrive-Sting sound so different from the early years.Lonesome Crow was even more unusual than ANY Scorpions album with Michael playing all the leads.
Roth was by far better that Mathias.. when he left the band's sound started breaking up
Michael played on Lovedrive as well,as Mattias was having trouble adjusting.
Michael was stellar on Lovedrive, especially on Coast to Coast, that track is so heavy it sinks.
Although he was only credited on 3 tracks (Coast to Coast, Another Piece of Meat and Lovedrive), Michael Schenker also played on Loving You Sunday Morning (the 1st solo) and Holiday.
What a tune! What a band!! Incredible rythm and vocals and the guitar work? Wow!!..Also sounds very punk metal to me that driving beat and rhiff.
Speedy's Coming and This Is My Song. Yes, thank you for this upload! Great footage
Uli Jon Roth was a Master with the Tremelo bar and had such a unique sound ,, Master of his Trade and still rocks Now
Sensationell ! Mit Uli Jon Roth waren die Scorpions in den 70ern
wirklich am Besten !!! Qualitativ Hervorragend !!!
Hast Recht... Wunderbare Band.
"This is my song" snuck in the middle frikn awesome!!!!!
Wunderbar!!!
What a voice!!!@
Great Song one of my favorite Scorpions Tunes !
24 Februarie_ziua dragostei la romani, si cu aceasta ocazie va doresc, multa iubire, dragoste, fericire, va imbratisez si va multumesc ptr frumoasele momente muzicale si de neuitat.
Vintage Scorpions yah!!! Great upload thanks for sharing this us👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
La Multi Ani!
Sarbatorim ziua prieteniei, iar eu iti multumesc, ca existi.
Yea !!! They were quite incredible. Ulrich Roth is a guitar God. Unbelievable.
Klaus is Meine hero!
This is amazing..I love them 🇩🇪
If you think about it. How long the scorpions have been ROCK,n and ROLL, n. Amazing! Give yourselves a big treat and go pick up a copy of Scorpions (Tokyo Tapes ) you won't regret it.
Ι love Tokyo Tapes LP ...and World Wide Live ...My favorite song from Tokyo Tapes is the "In Trance" ... I love Scorpions to all my my life !
First track I heard from Scorpions. Bought the album while in Germany.
Wow, this early stuff is great!, love them all.
It's impressive performence and easy listening
Kultni Scorpions u samim počecima ..
U startu dobri! 👍👍👍
Amazing. Timeless....Uli was sooo far ahead of his time...after Jimi...lol
He even took in Jimi's girlfriend.
Before him as a guitarist and way better, they shared the same woman too! Monica was a c*nt!
@@Slicklickz and the song We’ll Burn The Sky by Scorpions was written about Jimi and her.
Uli was amazing here. Wish they all kept him. Also, they did some good work without him, but Uli was the best.
Hey, he wanted to go his own way and I respect that. I'm just glad that they snagged Uli when they could. My favourite albums were always the Uli ones!
@@Driven2Beers Uli later admitted that maybe he should have stayed with the band a little longer. But he was too impatient to do his own projects.
Fortunately, Klaus was able to convince him to at least take part in the Japan tour before leaving. Otherwise we wouldn't have the Tokyo Tapes.
now that's a whammy bar
Klaus has strong vibrato, very nice singer
Great performance by Uli. Very happy that I've been able to hear Scorpions live in Athens, performing early-years songs like these. Thumbs Up!
Esse é o Scorpions!!!
Sending Love from San Antonio Texas
Muzica si SCORPIONS sant ptr. mine un suport de sustinere psihica, sufleteasca, este insasi frumusetea vietii, atunci cand ascult.
Chiar santeti un fenomen neinteles si totodata sublim si sensibil.
Va multumesc ptr. ceea ce imi oferiti de fiecare data.
Atunci cand sant demoralizata, simt nevoia balsamului muzical pe care il ascult cu placere.
Timeless....priceless......
This is phenomenal
Seventies Scorpions were better than eighties Scorpions
i totally agree. They became pop / rock in the 80s to suit the mass R&B audience
what does pop and rock have to do with r and b
Definitely! Klaus still had full set of hair!
That's what people say about KISS, But I like Both Kiss & Scorpions 70's & 80's
kevin hasch way better!
70's scorps were the best, just not know then!
It was hard to understand Klaus in the early days but the band was so freaking good
Uli's double-tracked sound in the beginning... I mean, that's what one of the best sounds I've ever heard. Then soon after you get all the cool tape flange stuff. If I found those sounds in my entire lifetime I'd be happy, he has both in one freaking song!
You can get it TC electronic doubler pedal and Strymon Deco for tape flange sounds also quintessence harmonizer pedal as well for the guitar harmonies in the Scorpions as well
I grew up in the 70s and this was a staple
when the Scorpions were awesome,before all that wind of change nonsense,always do what youre good at,and the Scorpions were good at this.
Robert Martin Agree with it completely. Problem was that most of the band wanted to go for a more commercial sounds, while Uli Jon Roth wanted the band to be more of a platform for his musical experimentation. After he left, Scorpions took a steep decline in overall quality.
Same can be said about Judas Priest. Their pre-hell bent for leather work was great and innovative, after which they took the cheesy commercial route
+Bram Claes You guys are both absolutely nuts. Both eras of both bands are fantastic, to say the least.
I think Face the Heat still can be a great work, but from 1994 to 2004 their Music was terrible.Since Unbreakeable they have produce some great stuff
+EnslaveTheWorld -- I agree - all eras are great for both bands.... although Turbo IS a little swooshy and Wind Of Change IS a bit gaybo...
Daniel Guinea face the heat is one of the last scorpions album to host some real heavy metal tracks.
This version of the scorpians is what we have been oblivious to for way too long!
DANKE SCHÖN....YIANNIS...ARE YOU GEEK? I'MFROM BARCELONA...CATALUNYA UND...ICH...LIEBE...DIE SKORPIONS!!
Τhank you Ming ... yes i am Greek and very proud for it ... love Scorpions since i was little boy and listened them first time ... i remember first song from them was "No One Like You" on a tape in an old walkman who were in my sister room ... 1985 and I 10 years old ... !
@Hani Farjo sorry..you'ŕe right!
Para mi Scorpions ha sido perfecto siempre por eso Klaus Meine fue es y será el mejor cantante de Hard rock 🎸🙏♥️💪💋🤗👍
Lonesome Crow and Lovedrive I think are their best rockin albums.
I think Animal Magnetism is
happy birthday Klaus Meine (Hannover, 25 maggio 1948)... è un cantante heavy metal tedesco, della nota band tedesca Scorpions.
Ha scritto la maggior parte dei testi e svariate musiche delle canzoni della band.
Great song
They were really playing their hearts out
nice little bonus song after! Uli still sounds like Uli on a Gibson!
Classic Scorpions once again
now that is a cool guitar effect

la meilleure formation du groupe Scorpions

Non le batteur est un peu léger !

Love forever!!!
I swear Uli is playing all along the watchtower within this song
VERY GOOD..........................
Rock it guys!!!!
Speedys Coming-THIS SONG IS FUCKING BAD ASS! BLAST THE CRAP OUT OF THIS SONG FOR OPTIMUM EFFECT.
Their level of musicianship is flawless.
1. Speedy's Coming - 0:01
2. This Is My Song - 2:51
screaming krz lixx..love uli jon roth with scorpions..
Buenas canciones en vivo de los 70'. de Scorpions, variando un poco su estilo, pero manteniendo siempre la calidad.
