...Forget about those 80's rock cliches & just think about the music. Before Wind Of Change turned them into a 'pop' band, The Scorpions were one of the world's great live bands.
After 'Countdown' slowly whips the crowd into a frenzy, 'Coming Home' kicks in and must be one of the best ever opening live tracks alongside 'Aces High' and 'Tie You're Mother Down'.
Much of the material is from The Scorps' best LPs 'Love At First Sting', 'Blackout' and 'Animal Magnetism'.
Thinking man's metal this is not...but good-time rock'n'roll it certainly is. As Klaus most rightly says, "It's a Rock'n'Roll Hurricane"!!
'New' favourites like 'Big City Nights' and 'Rock You Like A Hurricane' mixed with Scorps classics like 'The Zoo', 'Holiday' and 'No One Like You' proved to be an irresistible combination as America, in particular, lapped it up.
The highlight is, without doubt, the best version of probably the greatest ever rock ballad, 'Still Loving You'. The depth of feeling feeling in Klaus' vocalsand Rudolf 'the red nosed' Schenker's guitars are apparent in this most beautiful of ballads.
The Scorpions were never the most fashionable or famous rock band but, for those of us lucky enough to see them live at their peak, this is a wonderful reminder of how much fun rock music used to be.
Unfortunately grunge, old age and a general lack of good ideas meant the The Scorpions would never be the same again. This album serves as a reminder of a great band at their peak, and also of a more innocent age in heavy rock, before the doom merchants of today dug their depressing claws in.

It is easy to forget how enormous the Scorpions were before they flushed themselves so determinedly down the toilet after this record. They are also notable for having once used the word 'therefore' in a song.
This is a document of a band at the height of their powers. The sound is more raw than on their obver-polished studio releases, and each song ROCKS. I can even listen to the 2 ballads without automatically pressing fast forward. Fact is that the Scorpions know a melody when they hear one, and this album is crammed full of them.
This is the unofficial best of album - it has atmosphere, all the best tracks, and none of the new rubbish, which no one wants to hear. Absolutely excellent.

This was released to celebrate the tour following the Love at First Sting album. The Scorps were still big on hair, loud guitars, open-mouthed posing and heavy metal tunes - not the rubbish they started releasing after that song about Moscow and whistling came out, which has appeared on every rock ballad album ever since.
The songs are superb - Rock You Like a Hurricane, The Zoo, Noone Like You, Make It Real, Loving You Sunday Morning, Another Piece of Meat.
This is a great live album - the band really could rock with the best of them. The video that came out at the same time is also one of the best heavy metal live videos as well, with shows from all around the world, rather than just one show in one stadium from start to finish. The Scorpions really were brilliant - I don't know what went wrong (sob).

Great music
In my opinion this is the best Scorpions album. I used to have it on tape (too many years ago) and it's been great listening to the old classics again.

Scorpions' live experience
This is basically a live 1980s greatest hits portfolio and it rocks(the already epic 'Still loving you' sounds awesome, for example). Read more

Once were Warriors
Just like `Tokyo Tapes' is a fitting live epitaph to the band's Uli Jon Roth period, so `World Wide Live' is an appropriate record to mark the end of the era where the Scorpions... Read more

Rock
How proper rock from 80's should be. If you were into heavy metal in the 80's big guitar riffs and even bigger hair then this a live album that should be in your collection
