It's blatantly obvious that the five reviews which gave this DVD one star, as well as the two-star review, were all written by THE SAME PERSON, under different screen names. Notice that five of those six reviews contain the IDENTICAL vocabulary/spelling error of using the word "edition" in a sentence in which he was obviously describing the "editing." Notice that all six reviews all refer to moving too quickly from one musician to the next. Notice that all six reviews are nearly identical in length. Notice that they were all composed within 10 days of each other, several on the very same day. It's obviously one disgruntled fan's attempt to bring down the average rating of this DVD. You're not fooling me. This DVD is GREAT, and it deserves five stars. I'll go ahead and predict you're one of those fans who refuses to accept new music by any line-up other than the "vintage" Scorpion line-up, so you're sabotaging their rating on Amazon.com. You remind me of many of my fellow KISS fans who share the same closed-mindedness towards any KISS line-up other than Gene/Paul/Ace/Peter. BUY THIS DVD! Five stars!

I own both the DVDs for Acoustica and Moment of Glory. This DVD is not as good as those two. The film footage is not as impressive, not as well put together and the footage could have been recorded better but the horrible reviews on here are totally unfounded. The footage still captures the raw energy of the band (the crowd isn't up to par with the show sadly) live and the sound is great (you can complain about the footage but not about the sound). If you are Scorps fan you will like the subtle changes in the Zoo. I have heard a number of live versions (from cds/dvds and in concert) of this Scorpions staple and I really really like this version. Deep and Dark live also sounds great. I would recommend this DVD to a Scorpions fan and to a metal fan. If you are neither, then this might not be for you!

I am a long time Scorps fan (25+ years). I think this DVD is a must for any "true" Scorps fan. Not only does it include the entire live set, professionally filmed - killer audio, from their latest "Unbreakable" tour, it also includes a documentary on the history of the Scorps, narrated by the band (they speak German, but it is translated/spoken in english)...very cool material for one DVD. The live concert was recorded in Vienna, so the crowd is much tamer than a show here in the states, but no big deal...its a huge crowd. There are certain points in the live show where it seems Klaus's voice doesn't exactly match the audio...which gives me the impression of lip-syncing, but you be the judge...you have to look close to see it. At the end of the song "If You Could See it Through My Eyes" you see the drummer and bass player singing the backing vocals, but you can tell it's really Klaus's voice...again, no big deal. If you went to one of the recent "Unbreakable" concets, and enjoyed it, you won't be disappointed with this DVD. If you didn't make it to one of the recent shows, but like the new "Unbreakable" CD, which I feel is the best in a looooong time (IMO as good as or better than Crazy World), you'll like this DVD.

Although the audio quality of this DVD isn't perfect the live performance shows the energy that the Scorpions bring to the stage day in and day out. In the final song they obviously used video clips from different shows because the drummer is shown in a different shirt over and over. Whoever edited this show....well.......did he get paid?

The history of the Scorpions documentary is about one hour long and is a joy to view. The only thing about the history production is the playing of music that didn't correspond with that point in history. A very fun DVD but I would recommend Wacken Live 2006, a DVD that came out in 2007 with very good sound quality and a setlist with 26 songs including the Matthias Jabs guitar and James Kottak drum solos.

The rockumentary is great with cool old footage. The live footage is not as good as worldwide live, but still good. and it proves that the last studio album "unbreakable" includes fantastic tracks that fit directly to old classics from Blackout, Love at first sting or Animal Magnetism.

I JUST LOVED THIS DVD. MOST CONCERT DVD ONLY FOCUS ON THE SINGERS AND GUITAR PLAYERS. I REALLY LOVE THIS ONE SINCE THEY EVEN SHOW GREAT SHOTS OF THEIR DRUMMER JAMES KOTTAK!! HE IS THE BEST DRUMMER SINCE SLICED BREAD! HE PUTS ON A SHOW BY HIMSELF! ALL THE SONGS ARE GREAT AND THE PICTURE SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE FRONT ROW! HAVE NEVER SEEN A CONCERT DVD LIKE THIS BEFORE!

Just saw the Scorpions again live in concert. I saw them in 1984 and 1987 and they sound as good today as they did back in the 80's!! Buy the CD and go see the show when they come to your city! This is their final farewell tour!!! DO NOT MISS IT!!!! Grego

thought this would be excellent...turns out to be average....wacken is better performance ....bio and extras are very nice and make this package worth getting

This is a fast paced look (sometimes just a glimpse) into how they like to look and sound, live on stage. As a female devotee of the band, it's a great stroll down memory lane - flashbacks of concerts I had attended, songs engraved in my mind. I had to have it for my "collection," but have not taken the time to watch it more than once.

I really liked this DVD. Even though the editing is a bit crappy, it's still a good quality DVD. This is like the second time the Scorpions actually released a normal rock version DVD other than the Crazy World one. Acoustica and Moment of Glory was not a normal rock one they were projects. I don't think we should complain. I was happy when I heard they were releasing a live concert DVD. The documentary is very long, but it goes really in depth and you see a lot of the Scorpion's footage that you've never seen before. The question is that if they have all these pro footage, why not realease them on DVD and make money?! Other than some editing mistakes, this DVD is a great buy for a fan.
