Comment:

This is the second USA tour of the Scorpions. They toured there at first in this year also but they cut their US stations because of some european places. Like Reading Festival and other german stations. The band continued the US concerts in autumn. That days the Scorpions had been more popular day after day. This show made in the Convention Center as an opening for Sammy Hagar. The setlist is simple amazing. They could play only 40 minutes but they could compile their setlist very well. The old and the new 'Lovedrive songs' are hanging together. Matthias plays his best and now it looks like that he could adapt ownself to the band. The preface of "He's A Woman - She's A Man" is a little bit shorter than the band's full longer own concerts but super! Great performance of "Can't Get Enough"!

Quality:

Audience recording. I think the show had been recorded by a cassette dictaphone or other recorder. The quality is very good. You can hear all instruments and Klaus has a clear voice too. Sometimes somebody screams in the material between two songs. "Scorpioooooooons..." "Yeeeeeeah!..." Very funny! The recording will be a little bit lower in the middle of "Lovedrive". Maybe the guy who recorded it moved from his original place.
