40 years ago, when I was in high school, I participated in this festival. I'm a 57-year-old man now. The festival was a lineup of White Snake, Michael Schenker Group, Bon Jovi who was still a newcomer at the time, ANVIL in Canada, and a dream. Of course, my purpose was Scorpions. That hot summer is my best memory. From Tokyo

I'm your age. We used to make fun of Bon Jovi because he was "just a rock star" while the others were "musicians," whatever that meant. My wife was 2 in 1984. She's been to 45 Bon Jovi concerts as a 13 year old to as a mom. She has no appreciation for the Scorps, and Bon Jovi was the last man standing. What the heck do I know? I thought the IBM Selectric typewriter would live forever once this computer fad passed. 😂😂😂

Saw nearly that same line up in Texas sometime before or after this. I think every live concert the Scorpions did were always some of the best live performances up there with Rush, Triumph, April Wine and a few more. Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Who could not touch Scorpions live in concert. Not even close. Rush still unbeatable but I love the Scorpions. Oh Ronnie James Dio with Rainbow was in this level of great concert performances. Stadiums aren't easy to sound good in. This is really excellent!

This is prime Scorpions. Sound is great

One of the best Live Bands in the 80s

Absolutely. The Scorpions always great in concert. Consistent. Highly talented. Enthusiastic and really seemed to love their fans. We always felt that here in Texas when Scorpions came through. Houston was a good city for Scorpions. Still I bet.

My Scorpions story is from the US Festival in los angeles. We drove from sac down to the show i was 16. Lost all my friends and ride home within an hour of the show starting. But as much as that plauged my entire time there two bands really lifted my spirits and made me forget my troubles. Triumph really had a soothing uplifting affect upon me that was very appreciated at the time. But when the sunset and the Scorpions took the stage their tone, volume, and stage performance was top notch. In my opinion the best looking and sounding band of the day without a doubt.

Best era for music. Saw the Scorps back in '79 at the Cleveland World Series of Rock when I was 12. Amazing.
