The Scorpions triumphantly return to the world music stage in this 85- minute concert with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. Lead singer Klaus Meine is in fine form leading the band and the audience through a pastiche of the old and the new. The songs "Moment of Glory" and "We Don't Own the World" both feature a children's choir from Vienna, giving the show an international flavor. There are also featured appearances by Lyn Liechty (an American singer who has made a name for herself on the German stage) and Ray Wilson (who replaced Phil Collins as the lead singer for Genesis). This is a must-see for Scorpions fans. (Oddly, the cover photo depicts a scene reminiscent of MTV's Unplugged, which does not appear in the video.) --David Martins

Scorpions + Orchestra = symphonic rock without bombast.......2005-09-28

The Scorpions teamed up with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra to appear at the Expo 2000 in their hometown of Hannover, Germany, and this DVD documents moments from that performance.

What you get is a mixed bag - the Scorpions definitely rock when they work with the orchestra, conducted by Christian Kolonovits, on their classic tracks like "You And I", "Hurricane" (re-energised here in a new arrangement that features sweeping orchestral flourishes) and "Wind Of Change".

But new tracks like "Moment Of Glory" (the theme for the Expo 2000), "Here In My Heart" (a Diane Warren tune performed as a duet with stage singer Lyn Liechty) and a version of "Big City Nights" featuring former Genesis singer Ray Wilson are rather lame and just drag.

"Deadly Sting Suite", a hard-rocking medley comprising "Crossfire", "He's A Woman, She's A Man" and "Dynamite", is probably the best cut on the DVD, featuring one of the finest collaborations between a rock band and an orchestra.

The concert on this DVD is different from the CD of the same name, which also featured collaborations between the Scorpions and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Critics often poke fun at the Scorpions but the band has sold close to 40 million records across the world - certainly not a figure to sneeze at. And Klaus Meine remains one of the most charismatic frontmen in classic rock, and on a good day, he can have the audience eating out of his hands.

The video on the DVD is pretty lacklustre - it comes in non-anamorphic widescreen. The concert was filmed with several cameras, but the visuals from some of them - including one right in front of the stage and another used for aerial shots - is extremely grainy and contrasty.

The sound, however, is spectacular. My Region 3 disc features both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 (which is smoother and more powerful) as well as a 2.1 stereo track (something I have never found on any other DVDs, but it works and is extremely punchy).

Extras include an interview with the band on the making of the "Moment Of Glory" CD and bonus videos for "Hurricane 2000", "Here In My Heart" and "Moment of Glory".

Rocking Orchestra!.......2005-03-06

The combination of Scorpions live with the Berlin Orchestra is incredible - not to be missed!! It's an awesome collaboration of rock and symphonic talent - a true gift for Scorpion fans! (I was awed that apparently the German "way" is to sit quietly in your seat while literally having your socks rocked off - I would never have the patience and control for that in this concert).

Awesome.......2004-12-27

These is a great DVD from Scorpions.....Nice idea to perform there concertn in Berlin with There Philharmonic Orchestra...

Excellent Sound and picture!.......2004-02-01

This DVD is very good quality and sound. One of the best DVD's ive seen so far. Really cool lighting effects and awesome camera views! They should of included NO One Like You one of the top hit songs. Overall really good dvd!

amazing!.......2003-12-30

Except for Kalus Meine's off-key whistle on "Winds of Change," the concert is outstanding overall. I just hope classic rock bands and philharmonic orchestras the world over continue to collaborate and do crossover projects. I love music in any form!
