We could have expected a slow beginning then a real knock-off, this is what normally should have occured, but the band did it its own way, and they did it good. The acoustic predominance that we can feel is something that is repeated along the album. I used to listen a lot to the studio recording, and i really appreciate the additions of Matthis Jabs at the beginning. Unfortunately, not so many crowd interaction is present on this first track, but that's the case with Nirvana MTV Unplugged, which doesn't mean it's not coming forth.Īlways Somewhere is a really good acoustic re-interpretation of the song. The Zoo, except the improvised bluesy-intro, and the dominance of blues bends in addition to the vocals that fit well. Some performances are not really different from the studio recordings : The live performances here shows us that Scorpions is really a band who likes to do things good, when they decide to do it, and let's say they put the price ! Writing this review, i'm not a die-hard fan who owns every single album, but just a usual listener who owned a best of and who was deeply amazed and affected by this beautiful piece of art. You may think that this is a bad point for the band because the difference between rock bands is their ability to improvise or keep a live performance alive. I can truly tell that if we remove the background vocals, the crowd interaction, i will think this is a studio album. What "shocks" us the most is the almost perfect singing of Klaus Meine. In this review, i'll try to "judge" (the word is pretty loud !) the quality of the interpretation, meaning the quality of this live that Scorpions offered comparing to the studio albums. Writing a review, i guess, is a pretty tough job, specially when you're reviewing a live album!
