This Scorpions title is a delight. IIRC, 6 shows were utilised for the official ‘World Wide Live’ album, and my ears tell me that several of the tracks are lifted from this show. I prefer this boot to ‘WWL’ because the mix is better – Rudy Schenker particularly is too low in the mix of the official album, and the whole thing seemed ‘muddy’ in comparison to any of the radio broadcasts I had heard. ‘Make It Real’ and ‘Loving You Sunday Morning’ highlight this, on comparison. The tape ran out before the return to ‘Can’t Get Enough’ (not the fault of the manufacturers of this 2CD set, of course). Other than that, this is near faultless: go and get it!
