S24·E1 Scorpions

The iconic German rockers perform on September 11 and 12, 2013. The Scorpions played two fantastic acoustic sets in the Lycabettus theatre of Athens. The open-air theater - designed by the Greek architect Takis Zenetos in 1965 - is situated on Mount Lycabettus, at a height of 300m, and offers an impressive view of the Greek metropolis. The show captivates with its numerous intimate moments and infectious adrenaline rushes (such as during a percussion solo). What can be stated with certainty is that the Scorpions evidently enjoyed this musical roller-coaster ride through their own history. It is equally obvious that both rock songs and power ballads display their class and style even when rendered as acoustic versions. The melodies maintain their timeless compositional appeal and the quality of the performance proves time and again that the Scorpions are blessed.
