Very classy of Matthias Jabs to let Uli Jon Roth take most of the really flashy lead riffs....honoring his legacy in the band. Something I always adored about The Scorpions as a guitarist, is how well their guitarists worked together and always put the music first. What a tremendous team!! And they are like family too, backing each other up and giving us all something special with guest appearances at each other's shows
You think he "let" him? Those are Uli's leads anyway. What would be the point of bringing Uli back as a special guest if Matthias is going to do the leads on Uli's songs as well as his own. More than that, if Matthias had tried to forcibly take "most of the really flashy" leads, Uli would've played circles around him. There's levels to guitar playing. Matthias is really good but Uli Jon Roth is otherworldly. As a side note: On the Lovedrive tour in '79 (once Matthias had re-taken over from Michael Schenker), they played almost the entire new album nightly, so as to remove as many of the Uli songs as possible from the setlist (not because they weren't good songs but because Jabs wasn't comfortable playing them).
I was always shocked that Speedy's Coming didn't get more radio air time. It was always a great example of just who the Scorpions are......A true Scorpions classic!
Fantastic performance. Massive "Tokyo Tapes" vibes! What an era. Such an amazing time to discover rock music. I'm glad to have grown up when bands like Deep Purple, Scorpions, UFO, Maiden etc. were at their top. 🤘🔥
Uli Roth is superb . Fantastic guitar player. Everyone else is great, but Uli Roth is something else. Thanks to Germany for giving the world this amazing person.
I love how laid back Roth is. For all the sound coming out of that guitar, he looks like a blues guitarist sitting on a stool in a French Quarter bar playing in the corner.
@@ramuelcerbas2556 Too different. Both are amazing, but I can't even imagine Uli playing Comfortably Numb. And I can't imagine Gilmore playing Sails of Charon.
The best Scorps Era!! With a truly unforgetable anthems like: In Trance, Speedys Coming, Drifting Sun, Sails of Charon, Yellow Raven and many more!! Scorpions 4ever!! 🦂🦂
Take note Journey, Styx, Van Halen.... THIS is what a band who truly LOVES their fans looks like!! Reuniting with former iconic members to surprise the fans, treating each other like family, having a great time on stage together, and celebrating the legendary musical legacy you built together 💖🤘
As a teenage fan of the Scorpions '80s stuff in the '80s, I never gave their '70s music a listen. It seemed "old" to me. I'd even heard the name Uli Jon Roth spoken for decades. I recently decided to give the early stuff a listen. Boy, was I missing out. Uli Jon Roth is a beast. The songwriting was fantastic! What a treat to "discover" '70s Scorpions.
I agree. Their time with Uli fitted the 70's perfect. He was one of the best lead guitarists that ever lived, however, when they changed their style from hard rock to political rock & ballads in the'80's, I agree that Jabs style fit them better than Roth's would with their three-minute hit songs. Don't know what happened to Francis on this wonderful flashback to The Oldies.
Uli is considered one of the most expressive and technically proficient guitarists even walked the earth. And that is a statement from someone called Jason Becker and someone called Yngwie Malmsteen. Nuff' said. I have seen the guy 3 times live and he is simply amazing. BTW Scorpions were one hell of a band.
Virgin Killer was my first Scorpions album and my favorite. Uli did not disappoint. His playing truly stood out and blew my mind, especially with songs like Polar nights, Pictured life, in your Park, and though on their following album, Sails of Charon. They made their mark in the 70s, and can still make an old man weep with nostalgia when listening to it every once in a while.
I was lucky to see them play this live in 1986 at the German Monsters of Rock - same line up except Michael also played on stage that night!! The whole Schenker family was there, including Barbara and his Mother!! It was 31 August - Rudy's birthday and mine too!!
Looks like an amazing show, wish I had been there. I don't know that much about guitar playing but to my ears at least Uli Job Roth is among the best I have heard, I specially love We'll burn the sky.
It's hard to believe that there's a lead guitarist alive who could upstage Michael Schenker but Ulrich Roth does it and makes it look easy. Guy sure as hell didn't slow down with age, did he? Got to hand it to Mattias Jabs though, he hangs with them without much trouble. Only in a band with the guitar talent the Scorpions had over the years could a guitarist like Jabs be considered the under-appreciated "other guy."
Tokyo Tapes is Scorpions at their very best... that whole album simply rocks, but no video... this is a little glimpse of those very best days... AWESOME!!!!
@@fredgarv79 I've not seen his birth certificate, he's always been Uli Jon Roth to me, growing up in the 70's, all the rock mags listed him as Uli and I never heard anyone call him that, but who knows, wouldn't be the 1st time I'm wrong lol
@Nohelia Chagua Romero: He is one my favorites of all time, and as a guitarist who was especially influenced by Uli Roth, I'm glad to see some more appreciation for Klaus in these comments. @Herman Helmich: True, but what an awesome nose ! I'd rather hear Klaus's nose sing than 99.9% of the other rock singers out there.
Nenni hein m'fi ! Tu n'écoutes jamais de Rock où quoi ? Certes Scorpions étai(en)t terrible(s) jusqu'en 78 et le départ de Uli Jon Roth, mais depuis lors pas vraiment grand chose de vraiment top ! Cordialement, Bruno
In the 70's all we had was an album cover and a big mystery behind the players on the album like Ulrich Roth. The early albums, we had to buy from the import record section in the USA. Many great players from Europe at the time! Uli Jon Roth was a real mystery to us then, unlike today!
hahaha, cuz Uli knows he can't....very few have the Uli soul and feel. would love to see Uli and Frank Marino on stage together...haha. A real G3 tour would be Roth, Trower and Marino...
My band Blind Illusion played twice with Uli. The first time was at Wolfgang's around 1986 a week after my daughter was born and then recently at Annie's social club. THE GREATEST GUITARIST OF ALL TIME!
Started my career as a lifelong Scorpions fan with Blackout on vinyl and it’s been forward from there. Now have every album mostly in old school vinyl/cd format from Lonesome to Rick believer! Hope they never ever stop🤘🤘
If you think Uli Jon Roth is a great guitarist( which he is the best) you should meet the man, Uli is the coolest person I've ever met in my life of 60 years. He is every bit as cool as he is great on his guitar. I love you Uli .
Not forgotten in Europe. I saw this very same set a year later (2007) at Sweden Rock Festival. Uli came out in the middle of their show and they did 6 songs from the 70's Uli era . The crowd went wild for it and was the highlight of their set.
i was a huge scorpions fan from the first time i heard the fly to the rainbow album in the 70's. bought all the albums as they came out...Uli was a huge influence on me as i learned to play guitar in those days. even more than players who found Hendrix interesting , Uli injected a lot of "hendrix-y" flavour into his style, only with better control and a greater sense of melody in his soloing/expression. every note tells a story and he seems somehow connected to some intangible musical well somewhere in the ether...very difficult to explain and even harder to equal. I was very disappointed when he left to embark on his solo career, and even moreso to see him replaced by Mathias, who although a decent player, is in a completely different league. Back then he honestly left me somewhat uninterested in the band since Uli was and still is a very hard act to follow! In retrospect, to their credit, That choice was quite possibly a stroke of genius, since the simpler, more accessible guitar stylings of Jabs and Schenker led to a strong series of hits in the 80's which quite possibly would have eluded the band had Roth remained. his departure made the band (for me anyway) much less interesting and weaker musically, but opened the door to a more mainstream-sounding commercially successful version...one which in the long run is better for their eventual retirement, with a lot more $ in the bank! nevertheless, it's an awesome treat to hear the band performing the shit out of these older tunes with their original power and unmatched drive that only Uli can provide.
The Rainbow album was their best, by far. But esoteric psychedelic rock, which is the pinnacle of music, IMO, doesn't cut it commercially, because it is too rarified for the off-the-assembly-line Matrix-bound masses who dig a simple, monotonic heavy base beat.
Can't read through it. But yea, me a big fan too. I love your honesty brother. When I first heard "scorpions" I was Big on them. I was teen. Glad the wall fell, anyhow.
Guitar Works great comment, thnx 4 sharing Agree with you btw But don't know if you know his work with Electric sun Their second album Firewind icontains some of his best work.
i agree with a lot of what youve said here. at first i was elated when uli departed, because it appeared as though michael had replaced him. i also tuned in early and bought their albums as they were released, and when lovedrive came out, i was thrilled that michael had returned and was credited on the album, but confused as to why he wasnt pictured on the artwork with the others. i should have known it wouldnt last...anyway after he left again, i too wasnt crazy with their direction. but i have to ad, that had uli not left, i (like you) dont think scorpions would have become huge, most of the world would have no idea who uli or scorpion are (except maybe you and me and a handful of other young rock fans lol)
Blackout was my first intro to the Scorps. Then Animal mag back in very early 80's. Then I delved into the older stuff. I was completely blown away by Uli's playing. Really loved In trance. And the rest. Mathtias is great also and Michael. Amazing vocals.
Uli Jon Roth is putting out a new Double CD of Scorpions Era, music. 19 songs with a fresh take, and a new life. Can't wait. It should be out some time in early 2015. Long live the Master of the Sky Guitar.
What a band they were in the 70s! The best Scorpions era started with Michael on Lonesome Crow and finished with Michael again on Lovedrive with in the middle the great Uli's years... After that, some nice catchy stuff with a good Jabs doing his job, they say it was finally the real Scorpions sound, I don't think so, at all...
Con razón scorpions es de las mejores bandas ,hay un equipo espectacular de músicos ,desde la fenomenal voz de Klaus y ese maravilloso guitarrista Uli, wow y mas en wow ,que espectacular ❤❤❤❤
Я полная дилетантка в рок-музыке,но меня потряс Ули Ротт?Вот это мощь!!!Вот это мастерство!!!Здорово!Я здесь ,потому что тащусь от голоса Клауса Майне.
We just saw them in concert and I so wanted them to play pictured life but they didn't play anything from tht time which is sad as it's so great! Morticia
![SCORPIONS [ BIG CITY NIGHTS ] LIVE,2006](/img/n.gif)
As much as I love the 80's era of the Scorpions, I love the 70's era way more. Tokyo Tapes is easily one of the greatest live albums ever.

"Klaus Meine is a very great singer"
RIP to James Kottak. You also did a fine job here.
Very classy of Matthias Jabs to let Uli Jon Roth take most of the really flashy lead riffs....honoring his legacy in the band.

@Angie Barclay for sure!!
Uli's performance is dazzling as usual...Klaus' voice was amazing also!
I miss the White Strat playing ULI! Him and that Strat just had a chemistry! Tokyo Tapes FTW!

Uli Roth compared to David Gilmore?
I love how laid back Roth is. For all the sound coming out of that guitar, he looks like a blues guitarist sitting on a stool in a French Quarter bar playing in the corner.
Roth really made the scorps sound.
@@ramuelcerbas2556 Too different. Both are amazing, but I can't even imagine Uli playing Comfortably Numb. And I can't imagine Gilmore playing Sails of Charon.
Gilmore had always this beautiful sound that fits perfect for Floyd But uli is by far a better guitarist
Awesome performance, one of the greatest guitarrists Uli Jon Roth, so amazing!
"We like Michael Schenker, we like Matthias Jabs." Love those lyric shout-outs, Klaus.
I'm a big Michael Schenker fan but each Scorpions lead guitarist is impressive in their own right, Schenker brothers!
It's so cool seeing both Uli and Matthias together on stage
Uli just F'n kills it with the Scorpions. His time will always be the best!
ESTO ES UNA JOYA VIVA EL ROCK 🎸🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
The best Scorps Era!! With a truly unforgetable anthems like:
In Trance, Speedys Coming, Drifting Sun, Sails of Charon, Yellow Raven and many more!! Scorpions 4ever!! 🦂🦂
They're earlier Albums til Blackout are their best Work ever.
STEFAN Reimann 100% agree.. have em all on vinyl!
STEFAN Reimann , ya you got that right.
+STEFAN Reimann Hide your age Stefan! ;)
What?
Without a doubt, but animal magnitizim was a kick ass album also!!

Take note Journey, Styx, Van Halen....

Lucky Bastard! LOL! Actually sounds more like a Blessing than luck!😎👍🙆♂️🙋♂️

You know it!

Uli Jon Roth, now that's what hard rock lead guitar is all about, the king

We'll Burn with Uli is one of the most exciting song ever heard!!!
Uli Jon Roth performs like no other,
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SCORPIONS
Amazing
Klaus and Uli running the show !!
3 3 legendary guitarists from 3 eras of the Scorpions band🤘🤘🤘🤘
Uli jon Roth is a fantastic guitar player. He is the Best.
Wow this is incredible. ULI Jon Roth, Mattias Jabs, and Rudolf Schenker. Awesome!!!
Uli is always killing it. But Klaus Meine’s voice is still strong and in tune. Many of his contemporaries can’t sing like that anymore…

This is a Classic recording . It doesn't matter what your barometer says .
This is my Scorpions day .All night and all day Uli rocks
Blackout was my first intro to the Scorps. Then Animal mag back in very early 80's. Then I delved into the older stuff. I was completely blown away by Uli's playing. Really loved In trance. And the rest. Mathtias is great also and Michael. Amazing vocals.
