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.
Minus the terrential rain storm, the concert it's self was awesome. Cinderella was outstanding for an opening act. While the Scorpions literally brought the 'Rock' back into 'Rock & Roll'.
Great concert! They played great and sounded great. I have to admit that there were a couple of songs I didn't know, but it didn't matter because they were amazing. The show was unforgettable!!!
Cinderella opened the show with a great performance. But the "meat" of the show, were the Scorpions, who electrified the audience. I spent half of the concert standing and clapping my hands. The concert made the wait in the pouring rain and the ocasional water spray in the sitting area forgetable.
awsome, just awsome!!! get out and see these bands while you still can
Saw the Show last night and what a great show it was. They still have it and i would see them again and again and again and again. The sound and lighting and stage were all rockin. The solos were also Kickin...... If it wasn't for the rain i'm sure most of us would have had more hype.
Rockers with walkers had a lot of energy, great vocals. could have went longer. had no idea why the American flag was there. glad they at least knew what city there were in.
Sooo worth it !!! We were soaked, but forgot all about that as soon as they started to play ! Amazing ! Fun !
