Scorpions, 1985, in their golden years. This is a review for the (original recording)reissue on CD. It is missing songs from the original vinyl and tape. Important things, like the guitar solo! If not for this I would give it an excellent. Definently the scorps best live stuff. If you like the Scorpions then I would recommend this to you. If you want the missing cuts then I suggest picking up the original vinyl album or chrome cassette tape. I would NOT recommend the remaster which does contain these cuts.
I decided to buy this cd after seeing the video for "Big City Nights" on YouTube recently. It immediately took me back 25 years... to the summer of '85. I had this on cassette and wore it out. It still sounds great today. Like most so-called "live"albums, I woulg guess this one has been "enhanced" or had "a few overdubs" but I don't care. It sounds big and full and sweaty and, most importantly, FUN!! It is a little round time machine!!!! It has been in constant rotation since I got it several days ago and I don't see it being removed anytime soon.
I never got to see the Scorpions live back in the 80s. But this concert CD makes you feel like you were there in San Diego to see them. The energy of the crowd, the music blasting out of the amplifiers, the lights the stage it's all there when you listen to this and see it in your mind. One of the best concert albums ever produced. You won't be disappointed. Especially if your a metal rock fan.

Not being a huge Scorpions fan, despite I like very much their early stuff, til Blackout (included), I bought this CD, as this is one of the best Live albums of all time. Good sound, good setlist, and very good performers, make this a true classic. I already had it in vinyl, but wanted to preserve it on CD. If you like good, Heavy Rock music recorded live, go for this one.
I haven't listened to it all, but so far, it's great.....doesn't skip, etc.
