MTV Unplugged

I don't need to comment on the album by Scorpion as it's is a superb performance. As a person who is almost more interested in the Audio quality, this DVD can be used as a reference. Simply superb audio, Video recording and visuals are also topnotch.

great video felt like you were actually there live.

as i am a fan of everything the scorpions did between 1972 and 1984 i did not think i would be to crazy about this release, i bought it for my wife, after i watched this i was a lot more impressed, this was a very great special show, my only complaint is since this was a special show i felt uli roth should have been invited to play on the few songs the scorpions did from the 1970s but still this is a very good show with special guests and very good sound and very good audiance participation, klause still sounds as great as he ever has, it was interesting to see rudy sing as well, anyway as rudy always says there is so much unreleased scorpions footage from the past 40 years tucked away in vaults, i at some point soon would like to see some shows released that where filmed in the 70s or early 80s, a show from 1978, 1980 or 1982 would be awesome!!!!!!! regardless of what era you are a scorpions fan i think you will enjoy this dvd...........................

In a word "Stunning!" I never liked the Scorpions very much, and even though I like some metal bands like Iron Maiden, I'm not a huge metal fan. I do like many kinds of music. I went through my goth phase for a decade or so, and have seen many bands live in person. U2, Savages, Shadow Project, Bauhaus, Ramones, Bowie, Iggy Pop, Cramps, The Cure, Morrissey, on and on. This concernt is definately the best live show I have ever seen. I have seen U2 7 times including Zoo TV, And the oiginal Joshua Tree tour. Since they are the closest band when it comes to playing ballads and songs that touch the soul I have seen in person, I mention this particularly because of that reason. I can say without hesitation numerous songs in this concert were incredibly moving and beautifuly played. I think the Scorpions missed their real calling. I have rarely heard so many moving songs in one concert. And some so beautiful I poured quite a few tears. Some fans of their metal performances may not like this, but if you love powerful ballads and heavenly goosebumps you will probably love this concert. Klaus and the other original band members share the stage with other performers from Germany, Sweden and Italy. Everyone plays and sings to heavenly perfection. Along the way there are a few of thier best known songs re-arranged for maximum unplugged potency. If you like what you have read so far in this review and decide to buy it, you might wear your Bluray player out with reviewings of this amazing concert. Please don't pass this one up. Also if you are wondering the Bluray disc does play on USA players even though this is a German import.

This is a 5 star DVD. The sound and visual clarity is really well done and for a guy that had multiple throat operations to save his voice, Klaus shows that he has one of best and most distinctive voices in the business.The way this DVD was semi-ruined was MTV having the camera man zoom in on the illuminated signs placed on either side of the stage that say "MTV UNPLUGGED". I could see doing that 2 or 3 times during the whole concert to beat your chest but every 3 minutes gets plenty obnoxious after a while. We all know what we are watching and who did it and the constant close-up shots of your lame electric signs kept this from being a true "5 STAR" DVD.Scorpians and friends did their jobs perfectly....well done! MTV just can't figure out that this was a concert and that we wanted to "watch it" instead of the self-promotion of their own production via their electric signs placed on the sides of the stage.

I agree with the two previous posters. I've also watched it at least five times since I bought it. I too, was not quite sure what to expect. But my worries were immediately put to rest when I stuck in in my DVD player. All of the arrangements were perfect and the guys were in exceptional top form, Klaus' vocals spot on. How do they do it? After 40 years and they sound better than ever! I particularly enjoyed Matthias, Rudy's and Klaus' solos. What a gift this concert is to all of us fans who have loved them for all of these years! And what a way for the Scorpions to go out! I for one hope they never retire completely, and the buzz about their upcoming new studio album has got me all excited. And I still have their entire catalog to keep me rockin' for many more years to come! Knowing the Scorpions, they'll probably be out on the road once again for the new album!Oh, and might I add, and certainly not forget the multitude of fine hand picked musicians who shared the stage with the Scorpions on this DVD. Providing everything from an assortment of strings to mandolin, accordion, harmonica, guitars, backing vocals and more! They were all sensational. As were the three guest singers who performed songs alongside Klaus!

And just like their previous stunning BR disc, they offer an extended show , filmed state of the art, stunning sound and a marvelous "making of" this time in English! This DOES play in normal USA BR Players as I just received this from a great UK seller Avatar and unlike other promised "all region" BR discs that have disappointed , this delivers!!!2 hour show, 40 minute making of....I do still have a bit of partiality to the previous acoustic show "Acoustica" in some ways but they have a surprising lack of overlap of songs. The arrangements are very clever and feature cool use of accordian and even Rudolf on Sitar!!! These guys make class productions as their Live BR in 3D attests to. Again, they do hit on many of the hits but they pull from their extensive back catalog for some real gems that they haven't performed in decades and all in all it is a very satisfying show.For fans , I highly recommend!

It is such a shame the Scorpions are going into retirement, they are , in my opinion, the best thing to come out of Germany by far. In their words " It is best to go out while they can still Rock You Like A Hurricane than just a storm" , however judging from performances like this one and others from their farewell tour, I think they still have a lot of Hurricane left in them for a few more years. However, they have made the decision and I respect that, it is a shame that others ,who, are clearly over the hill have not done the same. The Scorpions prove on this dvd ,as they did on Acoustica, how great they are live and how really good their music is in this format.This DVD is well worth the money and should be on any respectable rock music lovers shopping list, especially anyone who likes the Scorpions.

This blu-ray shows the tireless Scorpions band in an acoustic show of great quality and with special participation. "In Trance", which usually does not appear in the repertoires, as well as some hits like "Rock You Like Hurricane", "Still Loving You", "Wind Of Change" and "No One Like You". There are also several songs from the last albums. Different and interesting by the question of being acoustic with a varied tone in the hits already known. Very good! Note 8.0.

New takes on old songs, rearranged for a wide variety of instruments.Klaus Meine's voice is just incredible.Rudy and Mathias give sterling performances.The concert is very entertaining and the 'making of' documentary is extremely interesting, informative and well made - not just an after thought.

Crisp image and good sound. Tecnically a good release. Some new songs are good as old numbers, presented in new interpretation. But the live fury of the "plugged" songs are missing. For fans and occasionally listeners. Not the best of the band, but a little bit better than "Acoustica".

Another brilliant live DVD from the top German rock band, I have been a fan of theirs since the 70s, they have not lost their drive and as always put on a wonderful performance, it was very unusual but very good to see Morten Harket of A-HA doing a duet with Klaus Meine on Wind of Change.
