Laval Sept. 19th show...............Wow that was a great show. Last I saw you guys was 4-5 years ago at the Montreal Bell Centre with Cinderella. First time I saw Mikkey Dee was with Motorhead opening up for co-headliners DIO and Iron Maiden in 2004 at the Montreal Bell Centre as well. I have been a fan of Scorpions since the 80's and became a huge fan of Mikkey starting DON DOKKEN's solo band on his Up From The Ashes album. Then of course Motorhead. Mikkey, as seen on youtube, gave classic Dokken songs live the hard edge back bone driving force live that lacked from Mick Brown and the same as well with Motorhead. I knew what Mikkey was capable of doing and he is giving the Scorpions sound and look what it needed since Herman Rarebell.............kicking solid, tight and fast drum beats. Mathias Jabs one of my all time favorite guitarists never fails to pleas me. Rudolph always good, love his funky glasses, Klaus Meine is just a golden rare gem of a gent still going at it with passion at 68yrs old. I have to add though that I do know some stuff about audio production having done some part time smaller shows in the past............Scorpions, band members and management.............if you read this here is note of disappointment in the audio quality production of the show............during the whole band playing the guitars were a bit to loud, Klaus's vocals were not that clear and loud enough as possible, bass subs didnt sound tight enough and during Mikkey's drum solo the sound was good when he was alone but all the while the band were playing together Mikkey's drums were basically almost drowned or muffled out.........so that was disappointing. However I am still happy I came to see the...

However I am still happy I came to see the band and this time 50% of it was just for Mikkey.
Ciao from Montreal until next time.
