2: 2011 Brussels (another fanstatic show cos' played In Trance )
3: 2012 Munich

Drew, who were the opening act during the show of 1976?? I'm so curious...wow you've seen the band with Uli Jon Roth on lead guitar,UNFORGETTABLE!!

[YNWA]

I think I`ve posted the same in such a topic some monts ago, but.. anyway.. my list is updated..

2009 - Kavarna, Bulgaria - my first show, 3 years after I found the magic of Scorpions. I met Marieta from the forum.

2009 - Xanthi, Greece - 2 weeks later after Kavarna show. Two in a row, I was sure - this is THE BAND and I`m already addicted... I`ve met, later, but because of this concert another Bulgarian FOS - Ilianka. She used to write in the forum too...

2010 - Thessaloniki, Greece - There I met with Mary, Sakis, Bob and more, and more fan(atics) from the Greek Sting Fanclub!

2010 - Sofia, Bulgaria - our first organised meeting of Bulgarian fans, with special banners and T-shirts, MJ Birthday on the day of the show, RYL signing session day before the show and.. MY FIRST MEET&GREET with the band! Unforgettable!

2011 - Bratislava, Slovakia - missed to meet hungarian FOS, I was alone during the show, wet, bit angry cause of my delayed flight and being late to take some good spot on the show, but still.. happy!

2011 - Bucharest, Romania - few dayes later after the Bratislava show! I met Cristina and Bogdan from the forum. Met another Bulgarian fan there - Marin Stoikov, also writing here and a giant Bulgarian, who I`ve seen a lot of times on shows - in Bulgaria and around, but never knew he was from my country - Peter. After the show I met all of the guys except Rudy at the hotel they were, made photos and had nice talks with Pawel and Klaus Best moment ever!

2011 - Brussels (it seems 2011 was the B year - Bratislava, Bucharest and Brussels) - awesome, awesome, awesome! FOS meeting, so many ppl from forum that i`ve met, so many great friendships, so many emotions! Good luck was with me - backstage, M&G, rocking concert and as a final - quick meeting and a photo with Klaus at the hotel!

2012 - Stuttgart - great emotions again and a nice 2 days with Adry plus a meeting with Jurgen from forum and many more fans, who are my FB buddies! Fantastic show! I still think about it every single day!

2012 - Frankfurt - day after Stuttgart show. Not the better one of the 2-in-a-row, but still.. it is so amazing to see the guys for two days one after another!

2012 - The best is yet to come: Munich - sure! Istanbul - 90% sure! Oberhausen - 50% sure!

Due to some circumstances I`ve missed: Cluj and Nancy!

If that´s just cruel I will do it

[YNWA]

Would there be enough forum "pages" to collect all of them?

[No One Like You]

Scorpion Trucks why can't you participate? I assume from Curry's comment you may be a Roadie or have something to do with the concerts?

Curry I love all the added info about each concert! Scott, the opening acts are interesting info too.. Really would have liked to have seen Queensryche at Jones Beach, I'd have to go back and see you the female fronted band they hired to replace them last minute was. We decided to continue partying in the meet and greet tent while they were on stage.. But it illustrates the longevity of the band with all the satellites bands opening, and where are they now.

I cannot find more dates cuz I lost some files before May 2007, and maybe I have forgotten some shows between 2007 and today. All I can remember was my very first Scorpions show. it was in my hometown Stuttgart Germany at Thu Jan. 13th 1977 . I was just 17 and I never thought that years later I will be touring with them.....



And now, after reading the list again I´ve got a lovely idea...
So stay tuned if You are curious about what idea this might be, especially the geograhic experts of You, there´s more to come about it soon in the "Die Hard Scorpions Fan Competition"

cheerz from the worlds capitol city of decadence

So to answer your questions, (1) 22 concerts starting in 1988 (2) the most in one year was 4 in 2010 (3) I've seen them in 2 countries and 7 states (you didn't ask that, but thought I'd include it for us US fans) the farthest being Tampa at 1,191 miles

[No One Like You]

Hey Scorpsfan1, 22-Nice! Hey you and I were at Tampa together! was about 15 rows from stage on Matthias side..thanks for the 7 states, so 88-2012 22 in 24 years and 3 this year! Love the names of some of the venues Tweeter Theater, Red Rocks sounds beautiful from the review I read. "The Myth" but not to compare with the 1-800-ASK-GARY lawyers group owns the amphitheater-free advert with naming the theater after their business..Dio, Deep Purple in 2002- Whitesnake, You've seen them twice with Alice Cooper.

Ben!! I mixed your name up first time I commented on your post on Curry's Dream Topic and thought it was Scorpion "Track" instead of "Truck" (I've been known to do that, more a factor when I'm using my Iphone-sorry) would have had a clue of your relationship to the Scorpions thought you were on their track.. How exciting, and having seen them at 17..life is funny.

Cristy interesting, thanks!

[Gabi6912]

Vov Fosers, I loved reading the lists.

Drew, I am fascinated by the fact that you saw Scorps in 76.
How did you feel about their show at that time, and how do you recall the "legendary" show now after somany years as an adult?
I mean, did your point of view change about the concert?
They were so young at that time.

Uhh Ben, you are the typical school-example for job, and hoby being the same.

come on

Yes of course all the french shows in May June 2007, I do not know how many shows this was and Dortmund. I would say in total it´s been a bit more than 200 shows or more all over the years.

[Deleted User 13688]

Ben, you have lived what the rest of us can only dream of. Cheers to you my friend!! And thank you again!

[flyingvee]

OK Scott, went back and added the support band or bands the Scorpions opened for as I could recall. 1979 London for the life of me i cant remember, though I recall they had some relation to Manfred Mann's band as they did some of those songs too.

[Deleted User 13688]

Drew, my friend, you blow my mind sweetie!!

Hi Gabi, yes thanks to my older cousin who took me up to Germany with him to buy a car there, (back then in Greece they were too expensive so many just went to Germany to buy them), I was 13 at the time and I don't recall if he already knew the band or heard that a great local band was playing. My music exposure at that time was of course the Beatles, Aerosmith, some Kiss and BTO. But this was my first concert and it was obvious that this band was special, It was a House of Blues size venue, maybe smaller, so the stage was smaller so rudy did not have as much space to run wild. But he was his usual hyper self. And Uli never moved around much but mesmerized with his playing. And Rudy Lenners LOL I recall him being a a powerhouse drummer. Of course I followed them religiously after that and the rest is history.

[Gabi6912]

Thanks for your great story Drew.
I so like guessing the feeling of really oldtime fans how they used to live the old Scorpsdays, and how they look back emotionally.
I loved your describtion about the young Scorps.

Did you see the hungarian rockband-Omega on the stage?
The Omegaguys often say in interviews what an incredible thing is to follow how has a metalband absolutely a worldwide huge star metalband, which was a supportingband of Omega in Germany in the 70s.

[Kristof]

Ok let me try to get it together......
