This is an excellent DVD with an excellent performance by a very old and.. yeah.. you get the point, band. Starting with the "Hurricane 2000" intro, then kicking it into full gear with the second part of "Coming Home", this DVD is pretty much a surge of energy by a band that just never stops rocking.
Nearly all albums are represented, and the more mediocre songs serve as breaks from rocking out to possibly some of the greatest German heavy rock ever created. The show was recorded at Wacken Open Air 2006, advertised as a night to remember, and it pretty much looks like it was such a night.

The performance is absolutely killer, same as the sound and video quality. All of these should be, of course, taken for granted when watching a Scorpions concert, and then there's Rudolf's back and forth rocking, James Kottak unleashing his rage on the drum set and providing heartfelt backing vocals and Klaus's tambourine and drumstick throwing number, all show that this band do their job well and enjoy doing it quite a lot.
The DVD also features three of the musicians who have been with Scorpions in the past, namely Uli Jon Roth and Michael Schenker on guitar and Herman Rarebell on drums.

The first joins the band after a few songs to rock out some of the songs on the albums released in the 70s such as "Pictured Life", "We'll Burn The Sky" or "Speedy's Coming". A few songs later Rudolf's little brother Michael joins the band to play the songs he co-wrote on Lovedrive. Rarebell plays only a few songs, but his appearance does serve more than just giving James Kottak a break, as playing with former band mates always brings about great reminiscences, as i'm pretty sure Klaus says when he introduces him in German.
All past and present band members also join in near the end for a long and atmospheric version of "In Trance", wherein Rudolf puts aside his guitar and does a perfect headstand at age 58.

In all honesty, the only thing i find wrong with this DVD is the fact that Klaus's vocals are a bit moody on the first 2-3 songs, but after he gets warmed up....
All in all this is an extremely good DVD, extremely fun to watch, highly recommended to anyone with even a slight interest in the Scorpions.
