Read what the band has to say about this magic night at wacken (2006)

SCORPIONS:

Wacken 2006 -- this was a very special concert for us, exciting and challenging and

-- most important of all -- a family reunion.

We wanted our fans to participate, so in summer 2006 we put a set of 50 songs on our homepage for the community to vote. Many of the songs chosen we had on our setlist anyway, but there were also many surprises.

Together with Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth and Herman Rarebell this show at Wacken gave us a great platform to journey through time -- 35 years of SCORPIONS history!

"A Night to remember" it was indeed, a night to remember with an audience of 60.000 die hard metal fans who celebrated with us that the SCORPIONS got the sting and rock you like a Hurricane!

Thanks to everybody... Enjoy the Show!

A brilliant concert, beautifully filmed at the Wacken Music Festival in 2006, showcasing one of the world's truly best and enduring rock bands - SCORPIONS - "A Night to Remember / A Journey Through Time", with special guests: former guitarists - Uli Jon Roth & Michael Schenker, with an appearance by Tyson Schenker and former skin's man - Herman Rarebell.

The Scorpions 26 song set sizzles - Rudy and Matthias never have sounded better, their guitar playing absolutely brilliant!!! (Check out Rudy's yoga headstand during the "Bolero" encore - the man is truly ageless and his energy, inspiring to all. The rhythm section of Pawel Maciwoda (bass) & James Kottak (drums), a high powered engine moving the songs to new heights.

Klaus Meine, for this listener is one of the rock world's greatest singer/frontmen (warts and all here), a powerful presence anytime he sets foot on stage.

These guys continue to amaze and thankfully appear to NOT, be slowing down, their last three records: "Unbreakable", "Scorpions - Acoustica" (Live from Portugal) & "Humanity - Hour I ", are right up there, with the best they've ever released!!!

As of January 2008, this DVD continues to be held up, release-wise, by lack of a proper U.S. distribution deal.

Reasons : UNKNOWN??? - bad management, or a lame record industry perhaps?! It has been released in Europe & Asia (most of the world for that matter)and is available at Amazon UK, France and Germany, but that only helps those here in the States, with Euro-Zone (Zone 2) DVD players.

RECENTLY HOWEVER, it's been released in Canada and available at Amazon Canada and that edition will play in U.S. DVD players. It costs abit more, the dollar not being what is once was (We all know who to blame for that) but is a must have for all Scorps fans! I am loving my copy, with delivery time to the States being pretty fast. Enjoy this one folks, it's a keeper!

Rock On!

As mentioned by other reviewers, this DVD is just horrible to watch because of the absurd amount that the cameras cut away to another scene every few seconds. If you want to watch a guitar solo or anything else for that matter to absorb any details, forget it! The editor(s) didn't do the Scorpions justice. The music is good, but since this is a DVD and not a CD, I'm giving two stars for the spazoid video technique.

This release has been available on Best Buys website for a few weeks. Awesome it is, very powerful sounding and not overly polished sounding. I was disappointed when I read in other reviews that some great songs have been omitted, but it is still a "must have" if you like those hard rock groups that were big in the 80's and beyond. And if you're like me, anything with Michael Schenker is a "must have."

If you are a fan of Scorpions, or just a fan of great music, you will LOVE this DVD concert. This show includes some great classics and memorable moments that include several previous members of this amazing band. I was totally blown away from beginning to end.
