World Wide Live (Bonus DVD)

Used to have in on VHS but it got loaned out and never returned. Brilliant quality and now it's in a safe place.

one of the greatest live albums of all time remastered and now containing the dvd,truth be told the dvd is a bit dated now and it probably would have been better just to have the live sections. However the main attraction is the live album,bought it on vinyl the day it came out and played it to death,along with Maiden's 'Live after Death and Molly Hatchets 'Double Trouble Live' it was part of a holy trinity of live discs from 1985 The opening 6 tracks quite incredible and blow yer head off before 'Coast to Coast' takes you to the next level..'Holiday' gives you a breather then 'Still Loving You' elavtes you once again.Quite frankly they could have left it there and it would have been awesome but... They didnt and tracks such as 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' 'Dynamite' etc just keep rockin a truly epic release.

This is a must buy item for any hard rock / metal lover. In my opinion, this is one of the best live albums ever. The typical 80's mastering sound make us feel like we are in a real live performance. I have the original release in vinyl, the VHS tape and the first CD edition of this album. Now I bought this one because of the DVD. Much better than the backup DVD-R of my VHS tape, but even so, not as good as I expected. The DVD is great and a must have item. But with all the technology from our days, I was expecting a bit more of extra quality. Also, there is no multichannel remastering sound. Only 2.0 PCM. Not a problem for me. Despite of the points that could be improved, I consider this item a 5 star one. Just buy it. You won't be disappointed.

In my humble opinion this is the best Scorpions release of them all. Recorded at what is probably the peak of their popularity and creative best in a time when big even rock concerts were real events. As this coincided with my relative youth and love of hard rock and metal I just about wore out the music and video tape when this was first produced. Move forward thirty years and it's still a brilliant record and video. The music is fresh and vibrant and the video captures the wonderful colourful OTT 80's before we all became depressed and serious. With songs such as Dynamite, The Zoo, Holiday and Coast to Coast, this is an essential hard rock album that should be in the library of any fan of rock and metal. Scorpions at their absolute best.

I'm a huge Scorpions fan and this is my favourite live cds of theirs. It includes quite a lot of their best hits and it reminds me of when I got to see them live. 😊 I also loved the behind the scenes stuff. These guys are awesome!

Superb 80s cheese metal. Great production, great playing and some killer tunes. DVD not the best but put the CD on ,turn it up and relive a classic period of 1980s Germanic Metal.

After playing my older brothers vinyl years ago I thought it was about time I bought a copy for myself, this new vinyl version is simply amazing, this has got to be one of the best live rock albums ever made, Scorpions at their absolute best, I've seen them many times in concert and they never disappoint

this for me is perhaps the finest album I have wanted to hear from back in the day, finally it has that asskickin sound that the original LP was missing!! but hey that was 30 years ago.................. I have to say that from start for the live DVD I was blown away(This is the item I really wanted). the CD is pure class and the sound amazing! the bonus DVD made the hairs on the back of neck stand up!!! the band and the fans interacting was so awesome. If your bothered to buy a cd from this rock n roll band then this has to be the ultimate introduction!! Love this band \m/

Zum Inhalt der eigentlichen CD möchte ich an der Stelle nicht viel sagen - sie ist und bleibt ein Best of der Scorpions und bildet den Abschluß ihrer vielleicht kreativsten Schaffensphase. Warum nun diese Ausgabe und nicht eine andere. Jetzt mal egal, ob ich Fan bin oder einfach nur bekloppt: für mich ist das die 4. Ausgabe des Albums, die ich im Regal stehen habe (und sicherlich nun auch die letzte - es sei denn es kommt vieleicht mal eine Version mit dem komplett gefilmten Konzert im Madison Square Garden heraus :-) ). Muß man diese Version kaufen? Nein (abgesehen davon, daß sowieso niemand gezwungen wird irgendetwas zu kaufen). Ich habe heute mal verschiedene Versionen durch- bzw. angehört. Welche Version würde ich jetzt bevorzugen - um ehrlich zu sein tatsächlich die Neue. Die 2001er-Remaster-Version, zwar erstmals vollständig - aber doch in weiten Teilen völlig überlaut. Mein Eindruck vom 2015er-Remaster ist da etwas positiver, weil der Sound wieder etwas differenzierter ist. Allerdings ist das mein subjektiver Eindruck und ich bin sicherlich kein audiphiler Fachmann. Was mir aufgefallen ist, ist daß das Jabs-Solo um fast eine Minute gekürzt wurde (jedenfalls wenn man die Tracklängen der einzelnen Ausgaben vergleicht) - eigentlich ein NoGo. Kaufanreiz für mich war natürlich die DVD mit dem Film zur Tour. Die DVD ist sehr unterhaltsam - ich kannte den Film vorher noch nicht - ist aber halt State-of-the-Art der 80er.Da ich selbst bei einem Konzert der Tour dabei war, gibts von mir natürlich Nostalgie-Bonuspunkte. Das Interview mit Schenker, Meine, Jabs und zusätzlich Rarebell entspricht in Stil und Aufmachung dem der Bonus-DVDs zu Blackout, Love at first Sting und Lovedrive.Viel virklich Neues erfährt der Scorpions-interessierte eigentlich nicht - zumal sie sich hauptsächlich über ihren Auftritt im Madison Square Garden auslassen, der in Ausschnitten als Bonus-CD der Anniversary-Ausgabe von "Love at First Sting" beiliegt. Für Einsteiger, die noch nichts von den Scorpions besitzen, ist die Scheibe nach wie vor sicher interessant. Wenn man schon die 2001er Ausgabe besitzt, muß man sie nicht unbedingt noch mal haben.

Esta edición especial por los 50 años de la banda tiene una presentación inmejorable (manufactura o edición europea); la calidad de los materiales en su presentación, serigrafia de los discos y masterización del audio son excelsos. El audio tanto del CD (24 bit remastered 2015) como el DVD, supera por mucho a las primeras ediciones editadas en formatos de CD y VHS (1985). Las anécdotas contadas por los miembros de la banda (Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine y Matthias Jabs) incluidas en el mini documental del DVD (region libre "9", no subtitulado al español) deja constancia de la grandeza histórica de lo que son los Scorpions en la escena musical de los 80s y lo que se vivió en esa época.

The Scorpions were one of the best bands to see live from the "metal" genre. This album was recorded during their "Love At First Sting" Tour when they were really blowing up big. I remember watching the concert video on MTV and being very impressed with their performance and the sound quality. Fast foward to 2024, I got the itch to see what Scorpions albums were available on vinyl and was excited to see "World Wide Live" 50th Anniversary edition available. WWL is not 50 years old, I think it was the Scorpions 50th Anniversary as a band. I ordered and received my copy and it completely exceeded my expectations. Packaging and the album pressing were great. The sound quality was incredible, better than what I remembered. If you only have one Scorpions album in your collection, this is the one to have.

Great Live cd, I have it on the LP that camepout back then (original), I have it on 2 cd's that bought some years apart. This 50th Anniversary is my 3rd cd

J'ai eu la version vinyle que j'ai abandonné au profit du CD. Mais cette version remastérisée est tout bonnement excellente. C'est sans doute un des tous grands album du groupe au meilleur de son art.Le DVD est très bien fait, illustrés de séquence d'archives .....en 4/3..mais quand on aime. Je le recommande à tous les fans du groupe
