Comment:

I red so many reviews and reports about this festival what was the biggest one in the middle of 80's. There was a huge honour to the band that they could be the headliner in the famous Rock In Rio Festival and could play near 350.000 people. The audience was together by the band under the whole show! It's fantastic when more hundred thousands fanatics sing the 'Big City Nights' with Klaus, and when rampage all at once in 'Coast To Coast'. My skin had been like a chicken when the crowd sings the end of 'Holiday'. Huh! Simple perfect! But my most favourite is 'Can't Get Enough'. What an energy! The end of the show is fantastic. Everbody takes everything on the stage! And of course the pyramid...a typical Scorps style what had been their own symbol. Besides I heard anything intersting story about the end of the show. During the last song 'Can't Get Enough' Rudolf Schenker got hurt from his guitar when he tried to spin above his head. But the show went on and he spent the last minutes on the stage with bloody head.

This recording made at the first show but four days later the Scorps also played an other fantastic concert there.

Quality:

This show had made from a brasilian TV chanel. In that time there wasn't digital video player (DVD, DivX, etc) so they recorded it with VHS recorder. The televisions weren't stereo also so the recording could be only mono. The quality is not the best because I think the original VHS should had been the 2-3. copy. Well, the performance is perfect! I am happy that I should have got this material!
