It is pretty amazing to see those guys still playing, knowing that the band has been active since 1965!
More than 18000 fans attended the three scheduled concerts part of the Byblos 2011 Festival. This is the Scorpions’ last tour after which they will officially retire. I remember listening endlessly to their Greatest Hits cd and specially to my all-time Scorpions favorite song “Always Somewhere”.

Here’s a cool timeline of the Scorpions band members. [Wiki]
It was a really disappointing concert. So many songs they didn’t play. I saw Moby on Tuesday, and it was one of the best concerts I’ve seen, 10x better than what scorpions did. Too bad he didn’t get the same publicity as scorpions..
They really rocked. Too bad most of the audience was clueless for most of the “rock” concert. In fact, I saw plenty of people leaving half way through. And most of the audience was rushing out “to beat the traffic” even before the concert was over. So much for asking for an encore (the scorpions were more than happy to play a couple of extra songs even though many people were already out of the door before them!)
It was really the most amazing concert I’ve ever watched!!!
it’s too bad that a band like this would retire!!!
If I knew that the concert was that great I would have bought tickets for the three dates available!!!
