I was in Germany in 74 while on military duty with my husband and I remember Scorps coming to the small village we lived in and having a jam session during those days that music was known as a bunch of noise to the Duetsch people while back here in the States we were listening to Led Zeppelin & Aerosmith I regret not going to that session it was just down the street from the Kasern. They still remain being the best of the best Rock Bands in history. Klaus Meine's voice is like no other he is #1
yep you gotta strike whille the irons hot,, you never know if it will come back again,, gavin rossdale of bush was here playing acoustic show i could have actually met him but supposedly it was sold out which is wasnt,, grrrrr ive seen him in stadiums with 20,000 people
I was there too and your right they kicked ass waited for van Halen 2 hours to play and walked out 5 minutes after they came on van Halen sucked that night
Scorpions were blessed with the guitar 🎸 players they had Uli, Michael Schenker,Mathias Jabbs and the incomparable vocals of Klaus and the rhythm guitar of Rudy truly amazing talents!!!
Uli Roth One of the best ever. No disrespect to EVH he is one of my favorite guitarist, but Eddie fingertapped alot. I really enjoy listening to Uli Roth, it's like Ritchie Blackmore and Jimi Hendrix actually had a child together. A combination of both and you get Uli Roth.
What some people might not realise is the impact Uli Roth's playing had on Eddie Van Halen, especially his whammy technique. He was a huge fan a Uli's playing and Van Halen used to cover this song and "Catch Your Train" in their club days.
@@darrenbenson637 when he was young evh never owned a jimi hendrix album Clapton les Paul beck page 4 kick as riffs leads the heavier stuff he really like blackmore and I believe Tony iommi he never put hendrix over all never
Claus voice is amazing. The tone frequency and separation in the instruments with the mix is so rich to my ears. Love the sound of this band the production is amazing they sound like no other band.
He's out of tune on this. Besides that, he isn't fit to wipe down Claptons strings. If you think Roth should be mentioned in the same sentence as Hendrix, you really are utterly clueless.
@@jerrywoods4066 Marino ? Who gives a damn ?. Clapton invented rock guitar, style and playing. There is no way that Roth or any of the crap bands he's played in are anywhere near as great as cream and clapton
@@jerrywoods4066 honestly man, you are clueless. Of course absolutely no one compares to Hendrix, the greatest, most imaginative, most naturally gifted, most lyrical, cool, adventurous, creatively flowing guitar genius of all time. But Clapton invented rock guitar when he played with John mayall's bluesbreakers and Cream, yeah he never achieved those levels of creativity again, but you can hardly call the originator of rock guitar over rated.
man, the Scorpions 70’s albums were just fucking incredible, and Uli, holy shit one of my favorite guitarists, unbelievably great solos, so much talent in this band. And then they went for the superstardom and a more commercial sound in the 80’s, and Matthias, another great guitarist, cant blame them I would have too. But, as great as their 80’s output was I prefer their 70’s catalog.
Awesome stuff. I discovered The Scorpions in the early 80s. Watching their 70s music is incredible! Scorpions definitely was Love At First Sting ha ha!
I don’t think it’s truly live. Towards the end he moves his mic pretty far from his mouth but the volume of his voice never changes. Either way, excellent song and amazing singer. One of their best songs.
I am a 50 yo man who has experienced live more things than should be allowed. This Uli Roth Scorpions is soooo fukn cool....my mentor has passed...this would have added months to his life! We had "Speedy's Coming" on album - watching Uli play...oh so sweet...
men I here ya . this brings back a lot. I remember walking down the road with my BIG cassette radio cranking this. that was The best, LOVE it man love it
This is some heavy ass music for 1974. Again, 1974! How many bands were playing tunes anywhere close to this in 1970 freaking 4? How about slim & none? Early Scorpions in the 1970s with Ulrich Roth when they were signed to RCA was definitely the bands greatest musical output.
@@shanemcconnell1736 right on great call - S/T debut with Rock Candy & Space Station #5 was released one year prior in 1973 and still stands up as one of the greatest hard rock debut LPS of all time. That's one year short of FIFTY years ago! Damn that makes me feel old...!
Jürgen Rosenthal on the drums! 3/5 of this line-up including Roth & Bucholz were all from Dawn Road. Rosenthal had to leave Scorpions to do his army conscription but once he finished he joined the mighty Eloy for their golden era. The Scorps were true pioneers
I Love this! Tiny lil fellas ain't they... That guitar looked smaller on Hendrix I must say.. and I love the longer whammy Bar! Very VERY COOL Footage! I love the Scorpions, I must have listed to "world wide live" 2.3 thousand times!!!! Of course that was a very different band in later years,...anyways.. Cheers!
It's crazy how ULI Roth doe's so much Whammy Bar Wanging on that stock Strat bridge and it still stays in tune, but the whammy bar it's self is hugely thick and totally custom, I saw a recent Rig Rundown video and he talks about still having this white Strat, he even had extra frets added to this guitars neck before he started using the Sky Guitars. The guy was totally influenced by Hendrix but much more melodic rather then Blues based, with classical overtones as well, you can obviously hear it all in his playing. he's even is in a relationship with Jimi's old girlfriend Monica Damien who's painted a lot of his album cover art.
I had read that the bass player was or had been a metal worker and customized that dive bar for Uli. He made it longer to help ease the tension on the bridge that Uli was adding by those insane dives. He was snapping those bridges with the standard dive bars on those Fenders.

Uli Roth set the the bar high for others.His solo's were unbelievable especially in creativity.
And he made the bar long.
Fact!
Love his solo in The Sails of Charon.
I agree!
@@cryptoking7093 Flux!
Uli is out of this world. So underrated

I have the same regret for a band I missed seeing in 1985. There are some oppurtunities that come only once in a lifetime.
What band was it?
At that time though. How could you have known?
yep you gotta strike whille the irons hot,, you never know if it will come back again,, gavin rossdale of bush was here playing acoustic show i could have actually met him but supposedly it was sold out which is wasnt,, grrrrr ive seen him in stadiums with 20,000 people
Missed opportunity but you still have scorpions!
I saw the Scorpions at the US Festival. They blew everyone away! Including VAN HALEN!
I was there too and your right they kicked ass waited for van Halen 2 hours to play and walked out 5 minutes after they came on van Halen sucked that night
Watching Ulrich Roth play is always a treat.
Scorpions were blessed with the guitar 🎸 players they had Uli, Michael Schenker,Mathias Jabbs and the incomparable vocals of Klaus and the rhythm guitar of Rudy truly amazing talents!!!
Uli is a badass!!! Miene has a hell of a voice even this early on.
Klaus meine was to die for, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

this is truly a classic, featuring uli jon roth!
ULI is 1 of my favorite guitar players of all time. He was so amazingly good at such a young age.🤘
Saw them in 1983, 1984, 1988 & 1991 They always put on a great show!
Man, strong voice. Can really hold the notes. So strong his voice sounds like more than one (cavernous/reverberating). What a gift.
Still has it unlike some..you know who when you get them😳

He was a bigger fan of blackmore hendrix and clapton
he gave zero fuck for Blackmore or Clapton....only master jimi

Urlich Roth should be in the same conversations as Clapton and Hendrix, he was on top of his game

Scorpions have had a stellar career. 😎
Always loved the drums on this track.

Klaus has the best voice in Rock.
Heard Blackout when I was about 12 n been hooked ever since. Seen the lads live a few times n am a big fan of klaus Meine-pure rock 🤘
They created the 80's hard rock sound before everyone else!
Erik Fraunfelter, They also in a way cobtributed to the creation of Neoclassical Metal!
So did riot and Judas priest
They fuckin rule!!
@@metalheadgamer80 Same with Rainbow (a band that started out strong before Ritchie Blackmore said "Let's be like Foreigner and play Arena Rock")
Purple rainbow sabbath acdc
Uli John Roth Fantastic
Awesome stuff. I discovered The Scorpions in the early 80s. Watching their 70s music is incredible! Scorpions definitely was Love At First Sting ha ha!
They were ahead of its time ...long live the Scorpions
Heavy metal was born here !!!
this is still my favorite scorpions song. this is real rock n roll
First song from them that was really good.
Oh'yes definitly.ROCK ON,SOLDIERS...
Music was so much different in this golden age of Rock.
Great song please check out Scorpions - Fly to the Rainbow Album Review on my channel
Scorpions ' in the past? 70 years!
What Voyage!!!!!
This is fantastic, a truly live recording of Speedy's Coming. Wow this is great. I've been a fan since 76 and have never ever seen this. Superb!
I don’t think it’s truly live. Towards the end he moves his mic pretty far from his mouth but the volume of his voice never changes. Either way, excellent song and amazing singer. One of their best songs.
HAHAHA they are lip synching you dork!!"
San Antonio Texas loves Scorpions!!!!
His voice is freaking amazing!!
Watching Uli's face here is great, he is totally owning those leads and he knows it!!
Smile at 0:17 switching to rhythm, very cool!
Uli is magical
いい声ですね！
I am a 50 yo man who has experienced live more things than should be allowed. This Uli Roth Scorpions is soooo fukn cool....my mentor has passed...this would have added months to his life! We had "Speedy's Coming" on album - watching Uli play...oh so sweet...

Great tune, love the live album "tokyo tapes", it just caps off a great era.
Uli Thank you for everything Ax
People must have forgotten about Jimi hendrix by 1974. Uli was so badass it was unreal. I was only 10 and heard this 8 years later

Ma période préfèrée de Scorpions !!!! 🥺
What a voice with those guitars!!!!

It's actually Rudy Lenners in the video. He joined in late 1974
Bucholz ? The Tax Manager ?
What a great voice!
LOVE THE HAIR
long live scorpions ,scorpions for ever
Long Live Uli!!!
Scorpions leyenda viviente excelente calidad de música con Klaus Meini y su potente y melodiosa voz 😂
Scorpions were way ahead of their time.
DAMN! I will never get over that voice...
Maybe the best drummer ever played by the Scorps.
Que música más chula yo tenía solo 6 años 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸👏👏👏👏👏
Looking at these early Scorps videos I'm just totally amazed by Roth's playing.
Uli is the man, the original. Van Halen was shitting green when Uli was dive bombing away.
Scorpions is the world best slow rock band in the world.
Uli Jon Ron dive-bombing with his guitar in 1974!! That audience never even knew what the fuck hit them.... \m/ \m/
Great song!
Я люблю Scorpions!
I wish more people new there roots...pure innovators.
Just think...40 years of rockin..and they still sound AWESOME!
So bad ass..... Take me back to '74
sublime
Fly to the Rainbow is an amazing album.
Fly to the rainbow was probably the greatest hard rock album ever recorded. Every moment of it is incredible
👍🤘
Now that is a whammy bar!
I Love this!
Tiny lil fellas ain't they...
That guitar looked smaller on Hendrix I must say.. and I love the longer whammy Bar!
Very VERY COOL Footage!

Thank you,Germany for huge contribution into rock!
😉no problem, thx.....🇩🇪
The Mighty Scorpions Forever❤🦂♥️☮️🤘

How handsome he was. His strange dances, more like convulsions, are mesmerizing❤❤❤
This song should always be turned up to 11. It sounds as good as when i picked up this album in the late 70s.
Супер классно!
Personally I wish Uli never invented the Sky Guitar because nobody could work the Strat like him!
+Bruce Studler ooooooooo Ritchie Blackmore King of the strat
@@CHASCHARLTON no where near to Uli.
One of the best from germany
My friend went to Spain several years ago, and he went to see UFO and Uli was on lead guitar, his version of rock bottom was epic
The Looking Glass turned into to Scorpions.. Smashing...
A melhor banda de rock gosto muito
Very very nice!!!!
Ai sim e relíquia pra os dias de hj.
Uli and the scorps belong in the hall of fame.
holy shit great footage thanx
this is the best scorpions song
great band.
This is just plain BADASS!
It hurts its so good
Great song
The best line-up
These boys can rock!!
En esa época tenían uno de los mejores guitarristas del mundo, Uli Jon Roth.
Como não amar essa banda?
Oito anos depois desse comentário tenho que concordar com você..
Damn fantastic song and video!
