I have the biggest thanks and love for my girls in Greece who called me and let me be on the phone that long!! THEN I had to leave and I come home and two messages are on my voice mail with WOC and some other song I am going to have to listen to again to understand it. The sound is a bit distorted!! haha
Oh my, what a time I had. I was literally in a trance after I hung up. And yes Sherry didn't they sound incredible? Klaus's vocals were beyond amazing!!
What an experience!! I will never forget you girls. Next year my lovelies, it will be MY turn to do for you!! kisses to you all

KATE JUST TOLD ME THAT THE BOYS DID A 3 HOUR SHOW!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!
I can't wait to read the reviews and see the vids and the pix. BTW here is the first video out of Athens Kate just sent me and asked me to post!! The guys did pyros!!!!!

Watch on youtube.com

I sure hope they do 3 hours and pyros for us next year!!!

The crowd was beyond belief and it was to the point of dangerous at times. I am glad Kate is okay, but it seems Jen was overcome with heat and suffocation and was carried out.
MJ was wearing a new shirt!! I am wanting to know more about the designer he has from Berlin! I am so excited to see more vids and pix and of course the reviews.
Kate and I just spent 2 hours on MSN and she gave me a fantastic review! Now she will be on her way to Crete in a couple days and she hopes that the guys will be just as amazing!! But I will let her give you her full review when she has had some sleep!

What a night to remember! Scorpions on stage with Uli Roth,Michael Schenker ,Herman Rarebel , Athena Kottak,Vasilis Papakonstantinou and over 40.000 people at Karaiskaki Stadium . The warm up by Vasilis Papakonstantinou was the best choice for that concert,his perfoming was excellent.Scorpions came out on stage about 10.15 and played about 2 hours a fantastic setlist. For me it was the 9th time i saw Scorpions in Athens (90, 93,96,01,04,05,06,07,09) and i think this was the best show of Scorpions,eventhough for me the unforgetable concerts are still 1990 and 2005 .As a special show it had many lighting effects and many surprises (fires on Big City nights,models dancing on "Tease me Please me", Athena Kottak playing together with James a drum solo,Holiday with Vasilis Papakonstantinou,Doctor Doctor,Long Tall Sally etc). The average ages of the audience seemed to be higher than other times and i think that was the reason that the reactions in some songs weren't above the expectations.
Here's the setlist

James did a solo on the drums and then Athena came and played as well. James shouted "Athena in Athina"!! And later during a song - I can't remember which one it was right now; you'll have to excuse me - he and Herman played together!

[Flora - Greece]

Rudolf Rocks Once Again !!! All the band members are so HOT!!!
Uli played pictured life...so what else can I say???
WE REALLY ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT !!!!!!!!

[DeepAndDark]

This is the most amazing video I've seen from the concerts. Pyros feat Scorps' songs greatly! What a pity that they can't do such shows often. OMG! I wanna see Kottak Attak with Athena!.. and Herman too!

[Gabi6912]

Thank you for your reports, short reviews, and the vid as well.
Yes, a big dream of mine is still tobe at a Scorps show in Athens.
Perhaps one day, or perhaps not lol.

Did Adry call you up Ruta?

[haley]

Hi all!

I'm at Katerina's and Evgenia's place right now. Thank God we all managed to come back from last night's show alive and in one piece!! I thought that the band put up an immaculate performance last night. Everyone of them was awesome!! It was great seeing Uli, Michael and Herman live!! I love Athena's performance too! She's incredible!!

Unfortunately it was really difficult for me to TRULY enjoy myself (despite being on the front row!) considering the fact that I was 'crushed' for most part of the show and my head got stuck between these two tall long-haired guys! I guess that's one of the disadvantages of being vertically challenged. And my heart went out to Evgenia when I saw her being carried out... It was her first show last night....

OK, gotta go now.

PS. Katerina and I were just comparing the bruises we got from the show.

[Gabi6912]

Thanks for your review Halei.

I am so very sorry for you to feel uncomfortably in the first row.

I was lucky enough to stand there in Budapest and Strasbourg too, although my friends also carried me, but everything was all right there.
However, I am happy that against this uncomfortability, you had an amazing show.
I am deeply sorry for Jeny from bottom of my heart.
I know how she had been waiting for seeing a live Scorps show finally.
I can imagine how she may be feeling now.
Ok, you know that next time will be in short time in Athens again Jen.

[Delphine]

Wow, I was sure this show was great !

I'm happy to have news from you Haleyna, I thought about yestreday and all this week-end.
I hoppe one time time we could rock together .

Was Micheal in good mood ? and not tired of his US tour ?

I'm impatient to be in Creta Saturday.

Cristy, sometimes you look like to a "TR fan" a exicited teenager (it's a joke not a critic )
