Scorpions Album: “Live Bites (1988-1995)”

One of the very BEST live CD's in existance. I never buy live recordings until this came along. Outstanding production, sound and recording.

This is a Live CD with some musics that hardly we can heard in a show, the only very famous was Wind Of Changes, but the other musics gives the experience of one of the best rock groups in the world

This album is their 3rd LIVE album. 1st being "Tokyo Tapes" (1978), and the 2nd "World Wide Live" (1985). What a band! At this point in their careers, they've done it all. But this album proves that they simply love doing what they do best. Killer guitars, great instrumental (Concerto in V), and Klaus's voice is on the money! I totally recommend getting the import, as it has 2 additional live songs, (Ave Maria No Morro, and Hit Between the Eyes). However, you miss out on the in-studio single (Edge of Time), I think it's a fair trade off. Great album, great band, and these guys are STILL rocking. Their newest album, "Humanity-Hour 1" is arguably their finest since "Crazy World" (1990). Even though the Scorpions got there recognition over the years, I don't think they TRULY got the recognition they rightfully deserve. They have to be the greatest and most deserving band that has yet to be inducted in the rock n' roll hall of fame. But I know that it will happen ! ! !

Live Bites is a great compliation of live performances by the Scorpions. The musicianship on this album is superior, from Meine's smooth vocals to the combination of shreading riffs between Jabs and Rudolf Schenker. "Tease Me Please Me" is a great track that starts off the album on a great, energetic note. Such ballads as "Rhythm of Love" and "Wind of Change" really capture the crowd (and you) as you listen. The hard hitters on this cd include "No Pain No Gain" and "Alien Nation". Overall a great Live album despite not including some of their biggest hits.

BY NOW MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ MY REVIEWS ARE PROBABLY THINKING, 'WHAT DOES SOME OKIE KNOW ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL, WELL THE ANSWER IS A HELL OF A LOT. THE RETURN OF THE CLASSIC SONGS SUCH AS IN TRANCE, IS A FANTASTIC WAY TO CELEBRATE THE ON GOING STRIKE FROM VETERAN ROCKERS, THAT ARE PUTTING BUBBLE GUM BANDS TO SHAME BEFORE THEY FADE OUT NEXT MONTH. KICK BACK AND ENJOY THIS ONE, AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO ENJOY THE NEW SONGS NOR BE AFRAID TO SING TO THE CLASSIC TUNES EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE LYRICS.
