My personal favourite, this is a must have for any collector or music fan. Released in 1985, that mega year in music, the album, a double LIVE set successfully captured the band in their element. Recorded over large arena concerts and festivals shows a tour that spanned over 13 months and saw 2.2 million fans in attendance, the excitement and energy of the band and the audience is what strikes you from the get- go as the countdown begins and the band rips through Coming Home, Blackout, Bad Boys Running Wild, the ballad Still Loving You, the monster Rock you like a hurricane and the sing along Holiday amongst others. The tracks featured from their Love at First Sting, Blackout, Love Drive and Animal Magnetism are all powerhouses and are taken from the Mathias Jabs era. For fans of the Uli Jon Roth era, Scorpions’ Tokyo Tapes is an excellent LIVE album as well. By the time they get to Dynamite they are powering full steam ahead. It really knocks your socks off this one, its a trip… Incidentally the album ranks number two behind Frampton Comes Alive as the largest selling LIVE albums of all time in the US.
