It’s funny that as we age, our rock stars are expected to stay exactly how we found them. For the most part, the Scorpions have outshined their contemporaries. Listen to live performances of this song that are from a more recent decade, their performance stands up.
Pound for pound the best Hard Rock/Metal band. Fast songs. Medium songs. Slow songs. Love songs. They do it all. Consistently powerful singer. Solid & reliable rhythm and one of the best lead guitarists of all time! MJ can out pinch-harmonic any guitarist including Jake, Zakk AND Dime (rip) !
I was there, half a lifetime ago. Victory, Y&T, Ratt and Scorpions. And an opening band that I didn't like at all, but I remembered their logo. They became well known a year later. Metallica.
Same... and I felt/feel the same about the opening band. We used to go to Keystone Palo Alto to see Y&T in the early days. Many years of pure joy with the original lineup - excellence! And then I found Klaus and the boys and I haven't been the same since.
This was a great show. The Scorpions kicked all the other bands off the stage except local favorites Metallica and Y&T. What a show. If my memory is correct, the concert was Victory, Yngwie Malmsteen, Y&T, Metallica, Ratt, and the Scorpions. How is that for a lineup? Geez, to be back on that day, the huge mosh pit for Metallica and people throwing turf in the air (unfortunately for the Oakland A's).
Behind the stage, after the show, got my first kiss from Klaus. I promptly melted, but not before he turned to grab a rose for me. Oh sure, it had to have come from some poor love-struck girl who brought it for the band, but I was just too damned smitten to give a isht.
Im not seeing any musicians commenting here and it should be pointed out this performance,and song,is a lesson in restraint on the part of these wizards on guitar. They could wank all over this shit but they play to the melody and the beat and let the vocal shine while accentuating perfectly. Speaking of perfect...this is one of the best rock vocals of all time. Yes,its a bit of a cheesey song but who gives a shit. YOU try and hit these notes on par with operatic phrasing and technique. Ya...its just rock but this is a master class on feel and delivery.
Agree with you 100%. Reminds me of Journey when Steve Perry wrote songs like "Open Arms" and "Faithfully". Neal Schon wanted to CRANK the shit out of the guitar but knew restraint would make the songs unforgettable. Klaus gives one of the best live vocal performances I've ever heard. Almost as good as Steve Perry and Robin Zander from Cheap Trick. Being a singer I loved / hated this song cause I loved it but I couldn't sing it. Priceless and amazing and haunting all at the same time.
The best Power Ballad ever written
In my opinion the band scorpions is the best band that's ever held concerts in the US .
Their skill in playing the guitars,drums & vocals is superb.
MESSI
I agree I saw them several times in the 80s they were so freaking good live
*NOBODY* can spit out a *Metal Ballad* like these guys!!
fantastic voice live. that's a sign of true talent. none of this autotune crap
Mathias Jabs for President !

Rudolph and Mathias have always looked like they were having so much fun playing live. Even in more recent live stuff, they're still
having a ball.
Yup the duos legend
Right there with Eddie Van Halen they all look like they're having such a good time

"STILL LOVING YOU CALIFORNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I'm so proud to live in the best state (for ME) in the US!
I was there, half a lifetime ago. Victory, Y&T, Ratt and Scorpions. And an opening band that I didn't like at all, but I remembered their logo. They became well known a year later. Metallica.
You lucky bastard! Wish I was there with ya though. That would've been awesome!
…Scorpions and Metallica are my fav forever…
Same... and I felt/feel the same about the opening band.

Thankyoumyfriend
Glad to belong to such a generation where Metallica Scorpions Guns n roses and Nirvana were the main stream metal/rock music

Oh man, what a great line of, with Malmsteen and RATT! I've heard Y&T in such a long time. I'm off to recover their music after watching this vid haha
Concertesa uma das melhores bandas de rock do mundo
Wow how Jabs covered Schenker in his faults...great band, unique concert incl fwtbt bei Burton.❤
Where?
@@pickyjackal7283 5:19, just one example. He harmonized them wrong notes during the whole piece.
I've always thought Matthias Jabs was one of the best guitarists of all time.
He definitely has the instrument on *LOCK!!*

Ah oh.... I went there, didn't I.

The Raiders had just won their 3rd title recently. LA should have held onto that team. Like Oak should have before that.
