Hi!
Some words about the show in Hannover from me.
As Hans had written we were standing together in front of the centre of the stage ( there were no our ‘crazy’ Italian and Spanish fans, it is impossible to compete with them in “running” to the first row).
The view of the stage was splendid and we could enjoy all light and fire effects. Such stage (with the catwalk) is sufficiently big, but The Scorpions were having time to be in every it’s part smiling to as many fans as possible. By the way, Klaus put on his dark eye-glasses not so often as in last year, in my mind. And it’s nice. We want to remember him with his radiant kind look.
Today I have seen the video of acoustic Send Me An Angel shared by Claudi (big thanks!).The view from the height shows that The Scorpions were singing in the centre of people’s ring, we were so close to each other, it was very touching.
In Hannover I saw the body pyramid for the 3d time and it was the best. Klaus flew up so easy, “as a bird”.
This is over about the show.
There were some curious moments in my staying in Hannover. At first we couldn’t find my hotel. The navigator said: 200metre left, 300metre right and so on… And only after 20 minutes of such routing I suddenly had understood that my hotel is located in walking zone so I can’t find it by car… Then at the hotel I came to balcony from the corridor to make some pics of Hannover from the 4th floor. I did it, but I couldn’t return into the corridor because of the door could be opened only from inside… I just had prepared to spend a long cold evening at this balcony, but was saved by one person going through the corridor! And at the end there was no electricity on the railway to airport and at the last moment I had to take taxi to catch my plane to Moscow…
But now it’s OK! and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!
The show in Hannover was my 9th. I don’t know where will be the 10th, but I’m sure it will be!!!

I was waiting for the last mp3's to come online at simfylive but due to technical problems they are still not online ...

But ok ... I am from holland so I had an almost 5 hour drive to hannover.
After finding my hotel I had something to eat and went walking to the Arena .....
Because off the railwaystation and highway the walk was a bit longer as I thought thru googlemaps, but after 45 min. I came to the arene a quater to 6. Not to busy so that 's good.

After entering the arena I god a flyer for the live usb/mp3 stick so I bought that and could pick it up after the show.

Inside the arena it was not that busy, I walked to the right side (Matthias side) and was about 4 rows from the front, and 3 from the walkstage.

The first band didn't get anyone warmed up ... I only liked one song and that was a self written one I believe, backstage.

Edguy was new for me but liked what I heard ..

Then the Scorpions .... fireworks, flames, very hard music wich you could feel ... omg what a great evening.

During the concert I heard a few mistakes from Matthias, but that doesn't mind. I had the best day ever.
I realy loved it when they played songs like We will burn the sky, the best is yet to come.
I was a bit surprised they had the same encore (zugift) was the same as unbreakble tour. still loving you, wind of change and rock you lke a hurricane).
But again .. I had a relay great time ...
Hannover fans could be a bit more dancing and singing but that was maybe because it wasn't scorpions fans only, also just rock lovers that came to watch our band ....

After the show I picked up the usb stick, and walked back to the hotel. Underway I found a closer hotel so I wrote that down for next show .....
Next morning breakfast and then back to home.


After listening to the mp3's I have one strange thing. The frist song you hear that the guitar is not running smooth .. like he misses a note, but I know for sure that wasn't live, and if you listen to Claudia's video (thanks a lot for that) it's also not there ......
I wonder if the mp3's a realy from that show ..... atleast the music. I do hear hear Klaus yelling Hannoverrrrrrrrrrrr ...

All in all I had a great tie. Everybody is saying i'm crazy to drive 10 hours, sleep in a strange hotel all by myself just to watch Scorpions .. but next year I just do it again ... and maybe meet some other members from here ?????

Thx Scorpions ... Great job .....

here some very, very late informations:


Bavarian boy band might be opening for the Scorpions

04/08/2010 22:29 clock
The TV station "one cable" is looking in a TV show, the opening band for the last concert of Scorpions in Hanover - it threatens boy bands and costumes. A combination that could belch many Rockmusikfans.

This can(‘t) be fun. On 1 June the Scorpions play their last show in Hanover. In the TUI Arena, the musicians want to crown their international career with a home game.The most successful German band and one of the most famous rock bands in the world says goodbye with the new album "Sting in the Tail" to their Hanover fans. But these fans need to be prepared for a surprise. As the Scorpions have made a deal for their new album with the broadcasting group ProSiebenSat.1, could now act as a support act a Bavarian boy band, cover bands and a hip-hop combo in track suits - a combination that could belch many Rockmusikfan.

The decision, which band will open for the Scorpions, is made by the audience of the TV station Cable One, which also owns the broadcasting group ProSiebenSat.1 to. The TV station is starting next Sunday, "Germany's best party band." 15 bands will compete in five shows for the attention of an expert jury, which decides the winner. In the jury along is sitting with music manager Anja Lukaseder (42) and MTV presenter Steve Blame (51) and Oliver Petszokat (32), who scored as Oli P. pop songs in the charts and appeared most recently in TV shows such as "Stars on Ice". Now, this jury has to select the right band for the Scorpions. An undertaking that is for sure not easy when you look at the bands look more closely. There is for example ‘Ois Easy’ a bavarian Boy-band. The septet from Dachau, near Munich ever comes up in leather pants and covers Robbie Williams. Another band for the Scorpions could be the "Ghetto Dance Band" from Cologne. The quintet plays in track suits with a lot of gold jewelry and relies on hip-hop.
Particularly exciting could probably be the meeting of Scorpionsfans and the band "Biba and the Butzemänner". A CD of the five musicians from Thuringia is called "Is funny, but it sounds so".On their press photos they show themselves in wet shirts and usually they play at town festivals and foam parties. Doubtful if their cover of the Village People fits to the Scorpions when you consider that Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper and Metallica already opened for the Scorpions.

The management of the Scorpions, the Lanz Unlimited is little worried about the opener. "Often, opening acts are bands that have nothing much to do with the music of the Scorpions," says a spokesman. The Scorpions have always provided a forum for aspiring musicians. Too much should not contradict the musical style of the Hanoverian rockers. Exactly what might at first June to happen but - even though a spokeswoman for Cable One indicates that we will see to that for a stylistically appropriate band. And presenter Lukaseder adds: "We respect the jury on the rock factor. After all, Germany's best party band ', of course, must be able to stand the test ‘open for the Scorpions’.
