Description
The long-awaited “masterpiece of the PURE INSTINCT era”! SCORPIONS in 1996, who reached the essence of Scorpion-style hard rock with the melancholy masterpiece “PURE INSTINCT”. The ultimate pro shot that serves as the “official substitute” is here. This work was shot at the “Bremerhaven performance on August 24, 1996”. It is a multi-camera pro shot. Speaking of the pro shot of the “PURE INSTINCT Tour”, the classic “MOSCOW 1997 PRO-SHOT” is familiar, but this work is a super-excellent master that goes even further. It is truly a piece worthy of being called “the masterpiece of the PURE INSTINCT era”. Before the quality of the work, let’s start with the position of the show. Let’s check the relative positions from the activity summary at that time together with “MOSCOW 1997 PRO-SHOT”. 1996 May 1: Kuala Lumpur performance “PURE INSTINCT” released on May 21st June 5th – August 17th: North America (50 performances) August 24th: Bremerhaven performance ←★This work★ August 30th – September 11th: Asia (5 performances) October 5th – December 3rd: Europe #1 (30 performances) 1997 May 11th: Steinheim performance June 24th – July 19th: Europe #2 (15 performances) ←※MOSCOW 1997 October 2-11: Germany (3 shows) November 8-23: Latin America (8 shows) 1998 June 18-July 1: Europe #3 (4 shows) October 3: Rock for Germany This is SCORPIONS from 1996 to 1998. After the end of the “PURE INSTINCT Tour”, they moved on to the experimental work “EYE II EYE” and the other-style matches “MOMENT OF GLORY” and “ACOUSTICA”, so this tour was also the (one) conclusion of the legitimate hard rock era. Meanwhile, the Bremerhaven performance of this work was just before the Asian leg, including the Japan tour. It was a festival appearance in their home country of Germany. Some of you may have already guessed it, but this show is also known for FM broadcasting, and the soundboard album “PURE INSTINCT IN GERMANY 1996: FM MASTER” was a big hit. This work is the video version of that. Of course, it is a TV broadcast version different from the FM broadcast version, but it is not a conventional air check. It is a new master released by the official SCORPIONS channel. If you have noticed this article, you may know that SCORPIONS has recently released a series of classic pro shots on their official channel. What is surprising is the quality. The image quality and sound quality are overwhelming, which is a big hit over the existing group that we have seen so far, and even the images that have been digitally rebroadcast have been reborn more vividly, perhaps because they have been mastered in their own way. Some people may have experienced the awesomeness of “ROCKPOP IN CONCERT 1983” and “KALEIDOSPOP 1977”, but this work is the 1996 version. In other words, it is the “official video work of the PURE INSTINCT Tour” that maniacs have been looking for! The show depicted in such completely official quality is different from “MOSCOW 1997 PRO-SHOT”. Let’s check out the set list full of precious songs here. Pure Instinct (4 songs) Oh Girl (I Wanna Be With You) (*) / You And I / Wild Child (*) / Stone In My Shoe (*★) Forbidden Tattoo (4 songs) Bad Boys Running Wild / Big City Nights / Still Loving You / Rock You Like A Hurricane Others (8 songs) Love Drive: Loving You Sunday Morning / Coast To Coast / Holiday Crazy World: Tease Me Please Me / Hit Between The Eyes (★) / Wind Of Change Others: Blackout / Alien Nation (★) *Note: * marks songs exclusive to this tour. ★ marks songs that were not seen on the tour’s standard “MOSCOW 1997: PRO-SHOT”. … and so on. Compared to the soundboard album “PURE INSTINCT IN GERMANY 1996” from the same show, “The Zoo” is not included and the song order is different. Perhaps the FM broadcast is more faithful to the actual show, but the 82-minute video is still worth watching. Of particular importance are the new songs from “PURE INSTINCT”. As mentioned above, after this, SCORPIONS began their musical experiment journey, and it was in 2004 that they returned to the world of orthodox HR with “UNBREAKABLE”. Therefore, the “PURE INSTINCT” repertoire is full of precious songs that have hardly been played since then. In particular, “Stone In My Shoe” was dropped during the tour, and cannot be seen in “MOSCOW 1997 PRO-SHOT” of the “Europe #2” leg. This is also why we can declare that it is “the masterpiece of the PURE INSTINCT era”. “PURE INSTINCT” is a masterpiece that gave us the SCORPIONS-style hard rock that exudes a lot of melancholy. It is a super-excellent pro shot that allows you to enjoy such an era with a completely official master. The long-awaited absolute video that has been realized after 29 years. A multi-camera pro shot of the “Bremerhaven performance on August 24, 1996”. This is a genuine official master released on the band’s official channel, and the visual beauty is amazing, renewing the past. There are plenty of precious new songs, and you can even enjoy “Stone In My Shoe”, which can’t be seen even in the standard pro shot “MOSCOW 1997 PRO-SHOT” of the same period. The long-awaited “masterpiece of the PURE INSTINCT era” is born after 28 years. Wiese Docks, Bremerhaven, Germany 24th August 1996 PRO-SHOT 1. Intro 2. Tease Me, Please Me 3. Bad Boys Running Wild 4.
