German heavy rock icons, SCORPIONS, will be bringing their 50th Anniversary Tour to Melbourne for their first-ever Australian show.�
In 1988, the Hanoverian pioneers were the first Western rock band to play five consecutive sold-out shows in then Soviet Leningrad. Returning the following year to play the Moscow Music Peace festival, Scorpions ultimately conquered Russia, inspiring frontman Klaus Meine to write the track that became a theme song to the Iron Curtain�s final fall: �Wind of Change�.
Travelling to Australia for the first time in the 50-year history of the band, Scorpions, comprising Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (guitar), Matthias Jabs (guitar), Mikkey Dee (drums) & Pawel Maciwoda (bass), will play their debut Australian show at Melbourne�s Palais Theatre on Tuesday October 18.�

Five decades have passed by since the days the juvenile Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs wandered the streets of Hanover, then just awakening from post war paralysis, with a barrow carrying their instruments and amplifiers. In those 50 years, they have become arguably Germany�s most successful rock band, accumulating unit sales of more than 100 million, including certified album sales exceeding 22 million.�
1979s Lovedrive was the band�s first album to reach the Billboard 200, followed by the Top Ten hits Savage Amusement (1988), Love At First Sting (1984) and Blackout (1982). Top Ten Billboard hard rock albums include Sting In The Tail, Comeblack and MTV Unplugged.�
The band�s 1991 mega-hit ballad �Wind Of Change� peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart and hit #1 in seven countries, while the anthemic �Rock You Like A Hurricane� has been covered more than 150 times by different musicians.
Scorpions� had further Top Ten hits, including: #1 �No One Like You� (1982), �I Can�t Explain� (1989), �Rhythm Of Love� (1988), �Tease Me, Please Me� (1990), �Send Me An Angel� (1991) and �Alien Nation� (1993).�
Few rock bands of this caliber take to the stage as often as Scorpions, embodying a much envied reputation as one of those very rare bands that have transcended time and risen far above the crowd.
I recommend them to anyone. This is their last tour, don't miss it.
Will never forget it!!...They are the greatest band ever!!
can't see why they are retiring. Schenker looks like he's in better shape than guys half his age and Klaus' voice is still as strong as ever
Wow, what a down pour. The rain sucked but the Scorpians were AWESOME. Pretty much the whole crowd was soaked from head to toe, but that did not stop the fans from enjoying and rocking to a great show. They still got it going on...
Grabbed all of us in the audience from the first song and rocked us unrelenting until the final encore tune. Awesome show. Soggy feet and all.
It was a very wet Sunday evening, with torrential downpours, as we huddled near the barrier separating the 400's from the 300's. But the show was amazing. Both the Scorpions and Cinderella played their hits as the crowd energetically sang along. The singers can still hit those high notes. We braved the thunderstorms and were rewarded with a very energetic and enjoyable show!
They rocked the house. Hope it's not their last tour! Highly recommend.
Awesome show, can't believe they are retiring after this. The've still got. Everyone on their feet for the whole show. Klaus' voice is still amazing. The Kottak attack on drums for the intermissions was insane.
These guys were brilliant. Entertaining, and very obviously, enjoying what they do. Couldn't help but have a great time.
Despite all the rain that was coming down at the concert. Klaus and the boys put on a great show. Klaus's vocals haven't worn out in anyway. Great blast from the past.
I thought the the both Scorpions and Cinderella where amazing. The sound and performance of both bands was excellent. The only down side was the idiot in section 202 row c that kept holding up a flag. He stood about 6'4" and kept blocking our view with his flag even though he was asked several times by security to keep it down. I honestly feel that security should take items away after the first warning. As well as removing those who continue to light up their cigarettes and pot after being asked to put it out. I feel one warning is more than enough since after all we all pay a good price to see our favourtie bands and shouldn't have to be distracted from their performanes by a few selfish people who keep annoying us throughout the whole show. Again though the concert was totally amazing and both bands where excellent.
Even though it was raining during the entire concert the atmoshere was amazing. Scorpions electrified the crowd with the first song and kept the momentum until the last one.
The experience Scorpions offered was unbelievable! They are amazing performers and truly skilled musicians and they had the audience in their palm. Thank you!
Scorpions rocked last night. I even felt like they were quite personnal and sentimental with the crowd . They looked like they were really into it, lots of energy. Don't let there age fool you, they're in great shape and showed that most of the night. Rock on. rob.s
Awesome. They stopped playing fogetting mext song. I think they missed some songs but it rocked
Both bands were tight and played all the hits. Great show!
Torrential downpours, thunder and lightning couldn't dampen the Scorpions concert !!! fans had an amazing time -some of us only saw half the Cinderella concert due to flippin long lineups in the downpour ! Molson Amphitheatre needs to start letting people in as their start coming up to let fans get their money's worth - especially when there is lightning and torrential rains !!! Still we had a blast !!! They were great, put on a great show.
I was very surprised at how these two bands sounded so good, just like their albums. Cinderella's lead singer is much more talented than I had imagined. He played the piano, sax, 6 string and 12 string guitar. His vocal talent was also great. The Scorpions amazed me at how they perfected every song without any flaws. Hard to believe these guys are all around 60 years old. The drum solo was spectacular with the movie in the background of the Scorpions past albums. Awesome show, VERY LOUD AND CLEAR!
Awesome show. The whole crowd was on their feet for the entire night. ROCKIN
THE BEST SCORPIONS SHOW I HAVE SEEN YET. THEY NEVER MISSED A BEAT. TOO BAD ITS A FAREWELL TOUR, ITS A SHAME TO SEE ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATS CALL IT QUITS. GONNA MISS YOU GUYS.
