[Gabi6912]

Hohó Christie, really? Is your mom going with you?
Cool, so cool!
Yeah, hold your eyes on her not to let her to faint by sight of Matthias :).

[Toshiko]

I am really, really, really, really, looking forward to everyone's reviews, photos, and videos!!!!!!!
The Scorpions won't have any shows till October according to the tourdates for now so this will be the last chance for us to hear about the show and the band members till October.
Unless Webmaster interviews the band members like Mr. Meine and post it on the website.
Or the band members appear on TV and Webmaster tells us when and where to watch online.
Anyway, please have a super splended fantastic time with the Scorpions in Colmar tomorrow...oh, TODAY already in Japan!
Any prereport for us?

I'm back from Colmar, and here is my review :

I arrived saturday evening at the hotel where were the band and we was going to the restaurant...
When I wanted to go to my parents, who are living very near to Colmar, I saw Klaus, Rudolf and Pawel in the hall of the hotel. After that, I went to my parents.

I arrived at the venue at 2 PM. It was so hot, and I was nervous because I didn't want to remake an illness like in Carcassone. When the doors opened at 7 PM, I run very fast to the first row, but I was in the second line... I saw Elton, took his hand and fired toward me !!!
At 8 PM, Karelia, the support band, started to play. I want to say that this band is very good, they managed to put a great atmosphere, and their guitarist was very great !!!
Between Karelia and Scorpions, I started to make an illness, but thanks God a woman near to me gave me some sweeties with a lot of sugar... and I felt better. when the show began, it was like I have recovered my full energy. all the band were communicating with the audience, and the show was very great.
But I have a little critic : it was exactly the same setlist as in Carcassonne and Juan-Les-Pins and I think it's a little bit shame not to change the songs. I guess it's boring for them and for the fans too...
I have no more to tell about the show, because it was the same as in Carcassonne. Maybe the audience was not so good like in Carcassonne, maybe because it was a very long distance between the audience and the stage.
After the show, I can't hear and talk anymore...

In summary nothing exceptional but always so much energy on stage.

Short review: I was back in the morning 5 o'clock! I'm tired and have to go to work in few minutes!
But: the show was great, very loud ( a friend call me: louder than Metallica last week in Zurich!! ) and the crowd- sorry Kristeen - was sooo great! Screaming, clapping and singing: GREAT We stand by the soundengeneering Achim and we have a good look to the stage! Fantastic, have tears in my eyes!
Greetings to Jacci and Nadja from Switzerland, Paula and Magda from Poland, Brigitte and Fred from Switzerland too!!!
Critic: hm, yes, but to any personnes in PM !
Somi hear the band is for this week in holiday and will be soon next week in the studio!!
Meet only Pawel for a short time at the hotel . . .
Greetings to everyone! This crowd i whish the band for Germany!!!

[Alizee]

thanks for the reviews....seems to have been at least a pretty nice evening ...yea I am sorry Christine it was almost the same show as in Carcassonne...Anyway, I'm happy the pleasure was still there Did Karélia played the same song as during the 28th ? (BTW I liked their version of The Show Must Go On... and the guitarist was really motivated..Hum

[Toshiko]

Go on, everyone!

I saw some YouTube videos and the show seemed exciting.

Any photos?

Kristeen, did you greet to the band members at the hotel when you saw them?

JüZe, did you ask Achim to stand by the soundengeneering area?
That is the best position to hear the sound!!!

[Gabi6912]

Hi Christie and Jürgen,

Thank you for your reviews.
I am glad that you basically enjoyed the show, you did it so much Jürgen lol.

Ok, I am looking forward to reading other friends' reviews also.

[Emilie]

Jürgen and Christine, I was thinking about you all the evening!!!!!
I was lost in a new bedroom, thinking about the new school that began this morning, but I forgot it during the evening Thanks for the reviews!!! I was glad to read something in English
I'm so furious that I began the school today, Colmar was so near to me.....
Hace both a nice week, and see you soon

My 3rd Colmar trip:

Weather expectation: Rain !!! ...........;

I'm arrive at 10h30 at the "parc des exposition", there was nobody, I found the backstage gate and stayed here a long time.... not to see someone but it was a good meeting point.

I was the 1st of my little "band", I was waiting espacially Anna and Pavel from Moscow to give them their tickets.

I was very happy to meet them again, it was the 3rd show we were together

The band was completed around 2pm, but it was so sunny and of course no shade on the queue. we wait somewhere on shaddy area. At 3pm it started to have a bit people in the queue, so let's go for 4hours under the sun ............ I have a very special make up now ..... a part of the face white the other big red, the line was the sun glases .... very nice make up

The rush started at 7pm, but I think that the gate of the other side have open some minutes before, because there was a lot of people already inside. So, we found a small place on the 1st row, but like in Juan, we wre on the extrem right.
The theater was almost full, it can contain 10,000 person, I think we wre a least 8,000. There was free places only in the standing stall. A lot of fan were there, espacially from Swizerland

About the show........... difficult to tell, I saw more often the back of Céline than the stage
But Matthias, Klaus and Pawel came very often on us coner to greet us, it was funny !! Especially Klaus, I thinks it's the 1st time I saw him so often at the extrem right.
Rudy is came only 2 or 3 times at the end of the show, so I almost didn't saw him. I felt Matthias, Pawel and James in great form, Klaus still tired, Rudolf I can tell you. Of course the show was great ! The set list was extactely the same, it's just I don't know if they planed the play "When the smoke.." or if they add it like in Singen, I didn't see the set list.

After the Show we (Céline, Cécile, Yvon(Cécile's father), Anna, Pavel and me) went to their hotel, we saw in the back Rudy and Pawel is came to share some minutes with us, but we were I think to much, around 30 people. There was Marcel (Rudy's son) and it was very funny to see him with a T-shirt "Schenker brother"

It was the story of my 30th show, now I'm waiting for the 31th ...... when/where?

here is pix : http://www.monalbum.fr/Album=CJSUKGDD

Now I go to sleep but I dream of a very hot water bath, like a thermal bath in Budapest ..... the dream of my neck

[Alizee]

Hi Del,

Thank you for your review.
I enjoyed it as well including your cute humor.
I am glad that finally you had a very good show evenif you saw Celine's back more often than the stage, and that you were together with your good friends.

[Deleted User 13688]

Great review, great photos. Altho, the pix are beginning to look the same!

[Glick]

The show in Colmar was the very best Scorpions show I´ve ever seen. They played 18 songs and it was AMAZING. I could make real great pics. I made a video from Kottak Attack and he was powerful like never before. Sorry for everyone who couldn´t see this show. Pics and the video are available on Facebook.

Hi everyone !! i've been to my first scorpions show in Colmar ...it was just AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't still realize it !!! we arrived at 3 pm and waited until 7pm. my sister and my friend were very tired after 4 hours spent on our car. But i was so EXCITED ...HYSTERIC !!! when the show started ... it was a fantastic moment.
Oh my god, i've never screamed so loud in my life. My sister never seen me like this !!
i still have no voice today ... and my back and my neck still hurting me coz i danced and jumped too much !!
i took many pics and i made several videos too... i just have to put them on my pc. then i'll give a link.
now, i just want one thing : see them again and again and again and again !!! i'm addict ...!!!
i also hope that next time, i'll be able to meet some fosers...

p.s: the show was too short

[therocker]

The wolf is back home !!!!!!
SCORPIONS WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT ME LIVE !!!!!!
It was a great show once again, maybe the little rest they had in France, helped them to present
themselves in front of the audience like it was just one of the first shows of the tour ........
I need a rest too, pics and review to follow, just one thing :
I am so sorry I wasn't able to see you Jurgen, it will be for the next time.
Chris, it is always a huge pleasure to see you
