Comment:

Just three days till the new album releasing in France. (unfortunatelly the rest of the world has to wait to the official european releasing.25th of May) The Scorpions had played 4 concerts in the ex-soviet countries before but this show was the very first step of the Humanity Tour. The band played on two stations in Spain and there were great live promotions to the incoming material! Finaly they had changed the setlist a little bit! Some old classics like 'Bad Boys Running Wild', or 'Coming Home'get riffed from the tracklist and they added other older Scorpions materpieces like 'Another Piece Of Meat', 'Dynamite' or 'I'm Leaving You'. The last one hadn't played from the second leg of Pure Instinct Tour in 1997. (My personal opinion is that this song much better than some of others from the Love At First Sting album what the band usualy plays in their concerts.) Besides there were five(!!!) new songs from the new album Humanity Hour 1. The Hour 1 is a perfect starting song. When James begins the drum playing.huh.just simple perfect! The 'The Game Of Life', the 'We Were Born To Fly' and the '321' are typical concert stuff. Humanity will should be the new Wind Of Change. The performances were perfect of the new materials. They played without mistakes. Bravissimo! J Klaus is still on the top! His voice is stronger than before. He could sing about 130 minutes with the same energy. I really don't know where this man can surmount from.but he is still on the top! Finaly we can hear Pawel's bass solo after the few stations of Unbreakable concerts in 2004. He playes a great job together with James who has a new drum solo also. First and last this concert is a perfect starting station of the new tournament. We have to see that the Scorpions is still on the top and the guys have so much energy! This band is a LIVE band!

Quality:

My spanish friend recorded the concert with his digital recorder. The sound of the material is good enough. Unfortunatelly there were so many people near to him who were very loud and they were screaming and shouting between the songs and sometimes under the songs also. Besides the sound is very enjoyable. The instruments are clear and Klaus' voice can audible perfectly!
