This is not the greatest DVD release, but being a big scorpions fan, I'm still glad I got it and have watched it several times. The greatest scorpions DVD by far (I have them all) is Acoustica, the Scorpions version of unplugged in Dolby Digital 5.1, with an un-believable cover of dust in the wind by Kansas, plus 20 other songs. Acoustica was never released in North America for some un-known crazy reason. My copy came from Germany.

The 2 hidden videos-To get to "Big City Nights", from main menu select special features, then with dolby digital 2.0 highlighted, press the left arrow button twice. When the Scorpions logo appears, hit enter to play video. To get to "No One Like You", from main menu select Live, then next to highlight track 7, then hit the left arrow twice. When the Scorpions logo appears, hit enter to play video.

why did they mix Matthias Jabs' guitar so low in the mix on the live show! I have to strain to hear him soloing! The next logical step is to release World Wide Live on DVD in 5.1 surround with tons of extras. Wouldn't you agree?

The Scorpions are truly one of the best rock bands one can enjoy as much "live" as their recorded music. I enjoy having the "highlights" of the Crazy World tour and "To Russia with Love - A Savage Amusement" both on this new DVD.

I do wish that they had more origional material on this DVD.
The live/Crazy World portion still has the same flaw that I felt the origional had: the instruments drown out the singer (Klaus Meine). It is almost an EXACT re-hash of their prior two videos mentioned in the above paragraph.

The best part of the DVD, is the crystal clear videos from the polygram/mercury era. This includes the rare "Alien Nation" and a hidden bonus video (go to special features and hit the left directional arrow twice, then enter/select), "Big City Nights. There are many old Scorpions classics on video such as, "I'm Leaving You," "Holiday" and numerous other hits that have never been officially released on a video compilation such as this.

These videos look great and make the purchase worth it for me.

the scorpions have always put on a great show,and this is another of their great ones! i found the whole disc to be a pleaser.although i think the live portion is rather short. the video portion is a great addition to anyones scorps collection. its mix of old and newer videos makes it worth the cash. if your a scorps fan,go for it! you wont be disappointed

Just as I hoped it would be -- live shots as well as artistically created videos. My ONLY disappointment was that the song "Holiday" is only the short version. The second part of the song is fantastic and I was hoping it would be included. DVD shows a wide variety of songs from many different albums and you can choose each song individually, or you can select "play all". Klaus' voice is right-on throughout the entire series and each musician's talents are featured in detail. As a total "Rudolf devotee", it's fantastic because you can hear every lick perfectly. A definite MUST for Scorpions fans!

Scorpions are always good in live, so this dvd is original scorpions dvd.The penalty is about the recording tech of sound.
It must be released again in dolby digital sound or DTS.If someone want to see only the live without care about tech...
...then my personal recommended is 5 star at least.

If, like me, you are a long-time fan of German rockmeisters Scorpions, this is a nice look at the live and studio output of the band in the 1990s.

This DVD combines 12 songs from a live concert in Berlin in 1991 with a motley collection of 14 music videos.

The Scorpions run through some classics, including "The Zoo", "Dynamite" and "Blackout", in the live concert and even throw in a nice cover of The Who's "I Can't Explain". The playing is strong and the music was mixed rather nicely.

Strangely, there are fade-outs after every song in the live section of the DVD, and it isn't possible to watch the concert performance without these cuts! The person responsible for this decision should take a few classes in making a good DVD.

The video on the live section is fair, but the quality of the the music videos ranges from poor ("Rock You Like A Hurricane") to very good ("Send Me An Angel" and "Wind Of Change").

The audio is available in plain Dolby Digital 2.0 or PCM stereo and the video, given its origins, is only 4:3 without any anamorphic enhancement.

If you want a visual document of Scorpions in the 1990s, this DVD will do till somebody decides to release the excellent "World Wide Live" on DVD. Otherwise, you can safely give it a miss.

A great live band captured in an average show. still rocks, and much better than the "Moment of Glory" DVD, but the "World Wide Live" concert released on VHS is much better

I saw the Scorpions just recently in late July. What a rockin show it was as they brought down the house. After being out of the country for a nice vacation I came home to see this DVD available. I love it! The package is 12 live songs from a concert in Berlin during the early nineties. The band plays with great energy and it is a very entertaining concert. All of the songs are post Lovedrive which is my only complaint. There are also 10 or so very enjoyable music videos that the band has done over the years. Some of these are the racy unrated versions. Picture and sound quality are excellent on the live show. The videos are not as clear but totally acceptable. A treasure for Scorpions fans.

Je Ne Parle Pas Beaucoup Anglais Alors Excuser Mes Fautes S.V.P . The Image Of The Show Is Good But The Sound Is Bad Because The Voice Of Singer Up And Down Frequently And The 2.0 Surround It's Pitiful
