Rating: Summary: Right band,wrong show Review: A great live band captured in an average show. still rocks, and much better than the "Moment of Glory" DVD, but the "World Wide Live" concert released on VHS is much better
Rating: Summary: Cool content, but low quality Review: First, the live part. The image quality is ok, the sound quality is not too good, but it works. The problem, however, is that the sound is badly synced with the image, so it almost looks like those German dubbed movies. The obvious reason for this is that it actually is dubbed, which is easily seen when Rudolf Schenkers guitar changes color in the middle of the songs. When it comes to the videos, the newer ones are ok, the older ones are blurry and often contains scan lines. Some are almost as low quality as the 50mb divx movies flying arond on kazaa and similar services.Since I'm a big fan of the Scorpions, I would still have bought this DVD if I knew what I know today. But I have to say that the mastering of this dvd is so bad that it would barely keep a movie editing student from failing the course.
Rating: Summary: Useless..... Review: I bought a copy of this and tried to play it on the old videos such as "No One Like You" and "I'm Leaving You", but they kept pausing on my DVD player. So I bought another copy, thinking this was just a faulty DVD. The second one did the exact same thing! So then I spent money having my DVD player cleaned and "fixed", only to find that the DVD still wouldn't play right! I give up! What is the use of having a DVD if it's not going to play right?

Rating: Summary: SCORPS STILL STING!! Review: I have to say that this is an impressive DVD. You get the entire Crazy World Tour video, the First Sting video, plus bits and pieces of 'To Russia With Love'. I do wish they would have just combined both videos back to back like Def Leppard did with their DVDs, but it's still awesome. The only annoying thing is in between the live songs, the screen fades and the other songs start. I don't know if the original Crazy World video had this or not, but it's annoying. Of course this DVD has Wind Of Change on it. I finally saw it after seeing it once like 11 years ago on MTV when I was younger. I'm only 22. It did not disappoint me. Overall the only disappointment I have is that the scorps cut out a lot of footage that made 'To Russia with Love' great. If only they would combine all their vhs videos. First Sting, World Wide Live, To Russia With Love, & Crazy World. That would be a bonus!! Holla if ya hear me Tom
Rating: Summary: What A Gift! Review: I saw the Scorpions just recently in late July. What a rockin show it was as they brought down the house. After being out of the country for a nice vacation I came home to see this DVD available. I love it! The package is 12 live songs from a concert in Berlin during the early nineties. The band plays with great energy and it is a very entertaining concert. All of the songs are post Lovedrive which is my only complaint. There are also 10 or so very enjoyable music videos that the band has done over the years. Some of these are the racy unrated versions. Picture and sound quality are excellent on the live show. The videos are not as clear but totally acceptable. A treasure for Scorpions fans.
Rating: Summary: Nice retro-Scorpions package with a few quibbles Review: If, like me, you are a long-time fan of German rockmeisters Scorpions, this is a nice look at the live and studio output of the band in the 1990s. This DVD combines 12 songs from a live concert in Berlin in 1991 with a motley collection of 14 music videos. The Scorpions run through some classics, including "The Zoo", "Dynamite" and "Blackout", in the live concert and even throw in a nice cover of The Who's "I Can't Explain". The playing is strong and the music was mixed rather nicely. Strangely, there are fade-outs after every song in the live section of the DVD, and it isn't possible to watch the concert performance without these cuts! The person responsible for this decision should take a few classes in making a good DVD. The video on the live section is fair, but the quality of the the music videos ranges from poor ("Rock You Like A Hurricane") to very good ("Send Me An Angel" and "Wind Of Change"). The audio is available in plain Dolby Digital 2.0 or PCM stereo and the video, given its origins, is only 4:3 without any anamorphic enhancement. If you want a visual document of Scorpions in the 1990s, this DVD will do till somebody decides to release the excellent "World Wide Live" on DVD. Otherwise, you can safely give it a miss.
Rating: Summary: A Good Show But!!!!!!!!!! Review: Je Ne Parle Pas Beaucoup Anglais Alors Excuser Mes Fautes S.V.P . The Image Of The Show Is Good But The Sound Is Bad Because The Voice Of Singer Up And Down Frequently And The 2.0 Surround It's Pitiful
Rating: Summary: Super Scorpions! Review: Just as I hoped it would be -- live shots as well as artistically created videos. My ONLY disappointment was that the song "Holiday" is only the short version. The second part of the song is fantastic and I was hoping it would be included. DVD shows a wide variety of songs from many different albums and you can choose each song individually, or you can select "play all". Klaus' voice is right-on throughout the entire series and each musician's talents are featured in detail. As a total "Rudolf devotee", it's fantastic because you can hear every lick perfectly. A definite MUST for Scorpions fans!
Rating: Summary: best music but old tehnical sound (dolby 2.0) Review: Scorpions are always good in live, so this dvd is original scorpions dvd.The penalty is about the recording tech of sound. It must be released again in dolby digital sound or DTS.If someone want to see only the live without care about tech... ...then my personal recommended is 5 star at least.
