Comment:

The band played two stations in Tennessee. In the two biggest towns Memphis and Nashville. The setlist was almost the same a sin the other US and canadian stations. Unfortunatelly Klaus had been sick before the first concerts in the beginning of June and now it looks like he still could not over it in 100%. His voice is a little bit languid sometimes. Besides the performance is perfect! The show is the same like in the whole about two months what the band had spended accross the north american continent. They are full of energy and if we wouldn't know that they will be the end of their career after this long 3 years tournament we just could believe that they have more 20 years on the way of the road of rock'n'roll. So many young band should envy this verve, energy and performance what these 60 years old people can give from the stage.

As I said there is not suprise in the set. Only three songs from the newest (and last) album "Sting In The Tail". The titel track what is a perfect starting song in the show. The first track of the album "Raised On Rock" what had been the first single in the United States before the album releasing in the beginning of march in 2010 and the last song "The Best Is Yet To Come". Besides they plaed their almost every classics. Klaus dedicated "Send Me An Angel" to their great friend Ronnie James Dio who's gone just few months before this concert. The audience is fantastic and they pulsed together by the Scorps through the whole concert.

Quality:

There is one of the greatest audience recording ever! I am sure one of the bests from the Scorpions' north american Get Your Sting And Blackout Farewell Tour. I think it can't be to make better recording. This stuff had been recorded with a Sony Digital Recorder and converted the original source from the hard disc to stereo WAV format. Great bass and super clear high notes! It looks the Bridgestone Arena has a perfect acoustic for a rock show. Only one small thing what is a little bit disturbing. It's the few people's voice who's talking you can hear a little bit through the ballads.
