They shop for boots at the same place lol. There were a shortage of white boots in 1980 cuz the scorps bought them all in 1979 apparently. Nice seeing this older footage thank you for sharing.
Not to mention.. Blue Tiger print french~cut the with matching blue Pleather 💙or Spandex + the white Beatles boots. God how I miss the late seventies early eighties metal band garb, costume..stage apparel whatever. Very Cool for the time frame!!!! Shoot.. you wouldn't have had Eddie Van Halen and/or numerous other virtuoso are slayers if it weren't for Scorpions ( Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth, Mathias Jaabs) set the bar High enough for others to work n follow.. Or simply give up. The list is too Numerous to even begin to go any further. But if their a badass playing orchestrated/neo classical metal of Any form rest assured they studied the Scorps rules of Metal Bliss!!
They played the US festival in 1983 before 300,000 kids and stole the show They were the best band on the biggest heavy metal day in history I was there It was incredible
Matthias Jabs , for over 40 Years most underrated Guitar Player in the World !!!! And what did he do ? He smiles , he´s the only underrated Guiter Hero who smiles on and on , a very symphatic Human being ,love him since i know him , thnx Matthias to be my Hero for over 40 Years .
You're massively right. I ve always hated Matthias Jabs haters, and schenker/jon roth-aholics who dare to undermine the only axeman capable of pulling off the other two s leads when no one trusted Jabs would, and what Matthias did? Blasted his great sound and excelled. For the record, the man stood out from 120+ auditioners to the spot. He truely is a hero and has made it through all kinds of adversity by douchebags who thought he had to only fill shoes, get the fuck out of here, the man made footprints bigtime.
Always surprised "Always Somewhere" wasn't a big hit for the band. I'm usually not into power ballads, but this one and Judas Priest's "Before The Dawn" remain two of my favorite songs of all time.
Hell yeah man, I had Hell Bent on vinyl when I was 14, listened to it every damn night. I always loved Before the Dawn, and would listen to it twice in a row. Rob's vocals are haunting. Which you could say about most of their tunes. But Before the Dawn is the rare Priest ballad, which makes it even more special. IMHO.
@@daddyrockoable That song never received any airplay, the only reason I heard the song was because I bought their "Metal Works" (think that was the name) compilation back in the 90s.
Always somewhere, is exactly what they were. I don't think another band back in the day worked as hard or harder than the Scorpions. They didn't have it very easy being from Germany, and yet they persevered and never backed down. I was lucky to see them play live, and I'm going to see them this year. Thank you Scorpions, you are A Class Act! BillyboyRocker
Cuantos recuerdos de mi bella juventud con mus amigos de la Universidad, nos gustaba el Hard rock de Scorpions gracias por compartir cin nosotros los fieles fans bellos todos y Klaus Meine el mejor cantante de. todos los tiempos que Dios los bendiga y proteja siempre 🙏
Small guy big voice ,big range and WHAT a frontman! The Scorps always kick your arse live,one of the best! THANKS much for posting I never even knew they played The Old Grey Whislte Test, awesome!
@@marinhrabric6162 Are you kidding? Have you heard Jorn Lande, Nils Patrick Johansson, Janne "JB" Christoffersson, Nils Molin, Mattias Blad, or Michael Poulson? They are all every bit as good as the 80s stars.
@@vadimastprojects8770 1. Jorn Lande - dude are you serious? That is not his clear voice. How do you not hear it? A deaf person woud hear he has like... 10 effects on his voice. The first time i heard him sing, i noticed and i can't believe the deaf oblivious comments on his videos. 2. Nils Patrick - i know him. I love Astral Doors, but man i said TODAY. modern day singers. New young kids. Nils Patrick is 52 years old. That's the old school generation. 3. Janne Christoffersson - he's alright. Kinda has that slightly cringy, modern sounding attempt at old-school kind of voice. Incomparable to the 80's. 4. Michael Poulson - no dude. Just no. Not even close 5. Mathias Blad - he's not bad, but nothing special. Can't compare to Midnight, Ralph Scheepers or Tony Martin 6. Nils Molin - nothing mindblowing. Just like Janna, he has that modern sounding voice and modern style of singing and doesn't fit classic heavy metal. A generic and often heard type of voice. Just how a lot of female metal singers don't have a lot of diversity in their voices and delivery. A lot of them just sound like evanescence with heavy music behind them. I'm not sexist, this is just my observation based on what i hear.
@@marinhrabric6162 OK, dude. When you call Molin "generic" and Blad "nothing special," there is no need for further arguing. Check your ears. And Jørn is fantastic (I saw him live several times too).
You know which channel I think is super underrated? Metal Piano Music. The guy spends weeks composing classic metal songs into classical/relaxing piano pieces and he hardly gets any views. I love his arrangement of The Sentinel by Judas Priest. That dude deserves millions of followers
wow this is brilliant, i was actually there at the bbc television studio wood lane when they recorded the 2 songs for the whistle test about 3 hours before the show was broadcast
Never this one before! Too bad they didn't book them when Michael was still with them on the Lovedrive tour. Would love to see footage with him and the Scorpions from this era.
Yea he was already losing it here. He lost the gravel in his voice after the surgery. Watch the lost footage from 77 . The Swiss tv show. The entire band was ridiculously good. And watching uli was amazing!
This is Important footage, Mathias joining them was the final piece. What a tone, and lyrical style. He weaves through the songs with infectious enthusiasm. They went on a roll, ruled the early 80's. They had a good back catalogue when Black out became a Hit to tide people over till Love at First Sting. Klaus, so much confidence. that is the first time I understood what he was saying when he said, "loved her more than any Broad". I don't remember what I thought it was before, maybe "drug".
Impeccable Band & Talent!!!! If not for the Scorpions we wouldn't have anything past Black Sabbath and Zeppelin. They blew up that bar.. And Raised it for American bands to follow!!!
I've probably posted this a million times on TH-cam, Facebook, TicToc etc...but I seen the Scorpions live at the Glasgow Apollo in 1979..I was 15 years years old and I remember watching them when they did this performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test (I had the hots for Annie Nightingale)....this performance highlighted the two different sides of the Scorpions 🦂...the masters of Ballad Rock with Always Somewhere...then the no nonsense heavy metal rockers with another piece of meat
How was the name of that woman presenting the OGWT??? So many bands she introduced in their first steps, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Ian Dury etc etc. one of the greatest music shows ever in late 70s
The first song almost sounds like a Lynyrd Skynyrd ballad. I like it. This is great footage. Thanks to whoever uploaded it and to TH-cam. TH-cam is like a time machine where I get to go back and see performances I missed the first time from years ago. Great to see finally! 👏🏻🎸😎
Saw Scorpions first American show at this time. World Series of Rock at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Scorpions, ac/dc, Journey, Thin lizzy, Ted nugent and Aerosmith. I love Uli Roth era Scorpions but "Always Somewhere" may be my favorite song.
These vintage Scorpions live shows are quite spectacular! Please share more!!!

Great songs from one of the greatest albums. Every song a classic and the album cover was brilliant ☺️.

They were the best band on the biggest heavy metal day in history
I was there
It was incredible
Klaus Meine one of the greatest rock singers ever. Period

They were an unknown band in the USA when Lovedrive came out.
and it is very close of Simple man by lynyrd skynyrd
Always Somewhere became a hit 🎯 in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Small guy big voice ,big range and WHAT a frontman! The Scorps always kick your arse live,one of the best! THANKS much for posting I never even knew they played The Old Grey Whislte Test, awesome!
At least as good as Ronnie Dio.
❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵💔 Love
.."Always Somewhere"...😢💔❤️ U, Baby...30+ YEARS...
This is my most favorite song of the scorpions. I live by this during my younger years. Theres only few talented people could sing this song right..
Some of my favorite Scorpions music right there. Outstanding band.
Original sound and no auto turn...this is a beautiful voice....Always Somewhere.Salute from Malaysia
Scorps are just great musicians seen them twice in front row they’re great live band even now that they’re in their 70s.
Love the vintage concert footage! Such great talent.
One of the greatest hard rock/metal bands. Seen them like 4 times.....I would see them 10 MORE if I could....NOthing like a Scorps show...
I saw the Lovedrive Tour in '79. Killer stuff. Good memories.😎
Wow!!!
This is perfect!!
Scorpions at their best!!!
The golden line up kick ass!!!
Thank you!!!
Uli Jon Roth era was 'at their best'.
@@joeskotnicki5613 You’ve got that right.
@@joeskotnicki5613 Commercially I think Mattias era is there best. I love me some Uli but it's like Pink Floyd before Gilmour. My opinion anyways.
this sounds to similar to Lynard Skynards simple man which came out in 1973. Don't get me wrong. I'm old school Scorps fan
Yes, very similar chord progressions. It happens quite often in music. I love old scorps, too.
Si es muy parecida a simple man
Lynard sknards
No autotune, what a great vocalist Klauz Meine. I really miss those bands back then😍
There are plenty of bands now that don't use autotune.
@@vadimastprojects8770 but they don't have voices like in the 70's - 80's. It's hard to find a good singer for classic Heavy Metal today.

Gotta love those old scorpions albums! 🤘
I love how they're slightly out of tune and a little sloppy. It makes it feel live and real.
Singer has a great analog sound to his voice! Awesome!
Ah, 19 years old back then, so many bad choices ahead of me. They have always been one of favorites, amazing, unique voice.
Lovedrive...Great Album!
Yes an incredible album. The recording is tops
Pioneers of Metal! Enough,Said!
You know which channel I think is super underrated? Metal Piano Music. The guy spends weeks composing classic metal songs into classical/relaxing piano pieces and he hardly gets any views. I love his arrangement of The Sentinel by Judas Priest. That dude deserves millions of followers
Gonna check him out. Glad you're spreading the word. Gonna hear that sentinel rendition. Thanks for the update.
Saw them on this tour opening for Rainbow in Worcester,MA. 11/28/79 F’ing unbelievable !!
Love Francis' bass on Always Somewhere
glory days
wow this is brilliant, i was actually there at the bbc television studio wood lane when they recorded the 2 songs for the whistle test about 3 hours before the show was broadcast
Did the drummer use that gong at all during that?.
Man, as great as Klaus's voice is, he sure looks ridiculous dancing in those white high heels.
Yes!!!, I remember rocking to “old school” Scorpions…. Then came the Blackout album and they sounded so different.
Lovedrive and animal magnetism were not that different from blackout those 3 albums were some of the greatest shit ever
@Alket Kellici but Uli couldn't sing and still insisted on singing.
It's called Innovation
@Alket Kellici quite contrary
สุดๆยอด...จากเมืองไทย.
Never this one before! Too bad they didn't book them when Michael was still with them on the Lovedrive tour. Would love to see footage with him and the Scorpions from this era.
Wow Amazing 😍😍
SCORPIONS INDONESIA🇮🇩
🤘👿🤘
Voice is really amazing ♥️
Yeah, Klaus Meine has one of those instantly recognisable voices.
At 16 I got my first wage packet that year and bought a pair of black pvc jeans and a pair of them boots.. I was fucking lit!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great memories! Saw them on 1980 tour with Blackfoot ...Awesome! 😃🎸🤘😎
Rare and precious footage of the start of a legendary story.
Great. And love the Whistle test
Old skol, just pure voice. Clean forever
At 50 years old I can now hear this nod to classic Skynyrd.
One of my favorite band ...SCORPIONS..awesome...🤘🤘🤘🤘
All i can say " terrific voice" of klaus meine
i love this song.
Самое сильнейшее что есть в мире музыки 🎶 это рок 🎸 баллады
Matthias Jabs is such an often forgotten player - and a great white Explorer!
Awesome, klause' voice is realy different, before vocal cord surgery
Different but great
Yea he was already losing it here. He lost the gravel in his voice after the surgery. Watch the lost footage from 77 . The Swiss tv show. The entire band was ridiculously good. And watching uli was amazing!
Yeah you can hear the strain on the vocal cords His style was hard on the cords like Adele.
This is Important footage, Mathias joining them was the final piece. What a tone, and lyrical style. He weaves through the songs with infectious enthusiasm. They went on a roll, ruled the early 80's.

wow...this is rare..thank you very much for sharing!!!
Nice to see Rudy playing some solo’s. I always preferred this as a power ballad to Still Lovin’ You but that song is great too.
I like this version. The bass...everything. Time goes by.
The only thing Scorpions sing about in this era is tender love and raw sex.
I'm ok with that.
Танцы Клауса, это что-то среднее между танцами бешенного робота и плавной кошечки, но это не делает его хуже, скорее наоборот ❤❤❤
Formação clássica. Fenomenal. Espetacular. Sonoridade crua. Muito mais bonita.
I like very much vintage Scorpions .It's a piece of history of Rock
Pero ,,,q destacadísima figura el cantante,,,,,¡¡¡ a los guitarristas aun les faltaba para alcanzarlo ,,y lo lograron,,exelente¡¡ Scorpions ¡¡¡😇
QUE PERFECCION .!!!!!! ES IMPACTANTE ,ES FASCINANTE
QUE DERROCHE DE TALENTO.☆☆☆☆☆
one of my favourite song of the band
My teenage life music..love it...
Eu amo esses sons ao vivo de VERDADE!
such a great band
Impeccable Band & Talent!!!! If not for the Scorpions we wouldn't have anything past Black Sabbath and Zeppelin.
They blew up that bar..
And Raised it for American bands to follow!!!
My favorite era of my favorite band! 🖤
They were bloody excellent at Reading 79 and one year later at Donnington
Wow this is amazing
Эта группа- на века!)))
Wow the best love it🌞😎❤️
Breathtaking
Matthias does a heck of a job putting his spin on the solo in Another Piece Of Meat
I have to Agree! Ain't MS who is?
Estuvieron acá en Chile fui a su concierto excelente grandes por siempre
Klause is dancing his ass off.!
Os solos das guitarras incríveis,fora o baixo sendo destacada também.✌🏾✌🏾✌🏿✌🏽✌️✌️✌🏼
The Lovedrive album was a new chapter, this brings back memories of the 79 UK tour - guitarists atop the PA stacks anyone?
I've probably posted this a million times on TH-cam, Facebook, TicToc etc...but I seen the Scorpions live at the Glasgow Apollo in 1979..I was 15 years years old and I remember watching them when they did this performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test (I had the hots for Annie Nightingale)....this performance highlighted the two different sides of the Scorpions 🦂...the masters of Ballad Rock with Always Somewhere...then the no nonsense heavy metal rockers with another piece of meat

Right... total Tuesday's Gone.
Never noticed it before.
That was '73.
Scorpions' Lovedrive was 1978.
Hit it right on the head...def.skinner..
Me gusta esta rolita los Scorpions pura rola chingona
SCORPIONS...lo más grande 🤘
Shades of "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Saw them on this tour at the Birmingham Odeon uk iron maiden was supporting them 👍
Brilliant band. Row A for me on this tour in liverpool...ace show
a great ballad and a powerful hard rock catchy song, with two guitars plugged to plexi amps . And a great singer.. if you dont like it
Well..
Saw Scorpions first American show at this time. World Series of Rock at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Scorpions, ac/dc, Journey, Thin lizzy, Ted nugent and Aerosmith.

FUCKING DUCT TAPE ON THE MICROPHONE HAHAHA! LOVE IT!!!
Los vi en concierto en Madrid en los 80, pero lo mejor de los Scorpions fue con Uli Jon Roth punteando y Klaus jovencito.
