Comment:

This is a TV broadcasting about the Scorpions concert at the Luzhniky Stadium in second half of the Pure Instinct Tour in 1997. The band hadn't played in Russia since 1989 when they were at the famous the Moscow Peace Festival. The TV station played the show as a live broadcasting. Sometimes, between two songs they switched commercials and the studio where they speakers were talking about the band and asking some quiz questions. So the programme didn't share the whole show. You can discover it when Klaus compére the next song 'Oh Girl! I Wanna Be With You' after 'Bad Boys Running Wild' and the 'Loving You Sunday Morning' is beginning. : One of my best part of the show is 'Is There Anybody There'. I like this version so much better than the original one. Hoiday is in full version with the rock-part together. 'The Zoo' is simple fantastic as always. Ralph and Matthias play their best again! Klaus dedicates 'We'll Burn The Sky' to the band's friend "Dima"! Herman Rarebell is the special guest in 'Blackout'. Nice to hear him and his unique style again after long time. Klaus sings the 'Wind Of Change' in russian and english too and the song is faded out few minutes before the end.

Quality:

The first 2 minutes is not so great but after that the quality will be much better, almost perfect. This is a soundboard recording what was in a local russian radio station. All instruments are great! Unexceptionable material!
