Comment:

There is a great show! Almost the same setlist as in the North American Tournament just few new songs added in plus! I love the way that James playes 'Lovedrive'. The band added 'Lovedrive' and 'Hit Between The Eyes' to the setlist. Great choices!!! They played 'You And I' again. I really don't know why but they usualy play this song in european places. 'Always Somewhere is sill one of my favourite ballads! I like Matthias' playing on it. Klaus dedicated the 'No One Like You' to the portuguese firemen who did very hard work against the wood fires in the country. Beautiful moment! Rudolf played 'Blackout' with a mask (like in the Blackout record) and with a guitar that produced smoke just like in the North American Tour - simple amazing! James played his solo good as usual and he broke a bootle of beer in his head like very often. (I heard from a fan who was there that when the Scorps finished with the encore - the last 3 songs - they left the stage and entered in 3 cars. The audience stayed for some minutes waiting for them and asking for them for a while...)

Quality:

The quality is much better than my other Albufeira material. This audience stuff should recorded with a digital recorder. Maybe a new gen cellphone, a DAT or a simple mini disc recorder. Unfortunatelly the 2-3 other people who were standing near the guy were so loud between the tracks. There is very exasperating! But the songs are clear. All instruments has perfectly sound and Klaus voice is still fantastic.
