I'm starting this thread because I need to reach out. Although my wife and I are extremely happy the Scorps are playing Rythme Of Love, we are MORE concerned that they will not play The Best Is Yet To Come. We are going to this show, celebrating our 1 year anniversary and this song was our wedding song. WE NEED TO HAVE THIS SONG PLAYED. Hopefully someone who has pull, can help us out. Other than that, we'll be in secftion 101, Row X. SEE YOU THERE! Joe and Amy

I'm going! From Saratoga NY. 3+ hour dirve. Been trying to get front row. Does anyone know what's going on? I can't find them anywhere. Currently have third...... Anyone with info, LET ME KNOW!! THANKS!!

All the front row seats are VIP package deals. I wanted them myself but chose not to meet the Scorps in person because, after following them for 40 years , years, i wanted to keep the mystery alive. Check out Stub Hub. That's where I got mine. I do believe they're all sold out. Hope you (We) are going to have a great time! MY LIFE, MY PASSION. SCORPS FOREVER!

It's about a 7 1/2 hour drive for me. I'm doing my best to go there. I managed to snag a 2nd row ticket off of Ticketmaster last week.

Hoping to find a cheap flight, but there are no airports near this venue at all. I may need to rent a car. Blah.

They played The Best is Yet to Come for the last 2 dates in Canada, I'm sure they will play it in NJ.

I'm really worried about the heat though, these concerts outdoors are really hard to do. As I told the guys last night in Montreal - I'm starting to feel the sting.

I'm getting ready to see the show tonight at PNC. It'll ony be my second time (and last time) seeing the Scorpions. I was too young to see them in the 80's but am ready to rock out tonight!

I hope to meet some other fans while I'm there. I'll be in the front row section 102! See you all there

Scorpions rocked their way through a warm humid night in New Jersey! I arrived after a long drive from Boston with my 12 year old girl Shannon and 7 year old boy RJ. We arrived at the PNC center at about a quarter to 9, and found our way to our seats, about 15 rows back on Mattias side of the stage. The band looked great, and put on an energetic show despite the heat. Klaus mentioned his bout with laryngitis last time he played this venue, and promised to turn his voice up to 11 this time "well, 10 at least".

As ever, Mattias appeared to be having the time of his life, Rudy was running around like a wild man. Pawel provided a solid foundation, and James we all enjoyed James antics. I was struck at just how well this performance matched earlier performances on this tour. We listened to a recording from Stuttgart on the drive down, and this performance sounded nearly identical. These guys are truly professional entertainers ... we all got our money's worth.

My kids started fading about two thirds of the way through the show ... we retreated during James "Attack" to give the kids a little break. We found some water, but decided to sit back in some of the back seating for a bit. The kids recharged a bit, and I made sure the kids were watching picks getting handed out as the band went off stage. I convinced them that we should try to find our way close to the stage to see if we could get our own after the encore. They agreed, and we headed down the aisle. The hot, humid weather took it's toll on some of the other fans, and Shannon had the amazing fortune of having a front row ticket handed to her by someone who had had enough. Her little brother tagged right along behind her, and found their way up to the security barrier. At the end of the show, Klaus gave special attention to Shannon and RJ, carefully handing them drumsticks to each of them. Klaus also noted the hand made "Bad Boys" muscle shirt Shannon had made him.

Thanks to the band, PNC center and all the other fans we met tonight. We had a great time!
