Few acts have demonstrated such legendary status and longevity as the Scorpions. With a career spanning 38 years, 17 studio albums, and 21 Tours including a planned 3 year farewell tour, the band continues to influence and amaze in their impeccable live performance and larger than life stage show. The Scorpions are the definition of the rock show.
Truly, the pictures are worth 1,000 words.
Shooting Notes:
In a word. BRILLIANT.

Yep…you win at this game. ;)
Thank you Deanna. Have worked hard at it for a long time. Next stop Rolling Stone?!
Thanks Glyn! This is perhaps my favorite live shoot ever. You simply have to love it when everything comes together and Rudolph Schenker mugs at the camera for the majority of the 3 songs. Simply a perfect shoot.
the Scorpions photos are outstanding! I agree the lighting and stage design made it easier but still you got some great shots!
@ Vernon – Thank you sir. That is a nice compliment especially coming from yourself. This was perhaps the best night I’ve ever had shooting a live show. Long 3 songs, clean stage setup, good lighting, and Rudolph Schenker was in a particularly spirited mood for hamming it up to me most of the set. Tough editing – nearly 300 frames just like those published.
