Scorpions/Greek 2005

Co-starring with an orchestra, acoustic, and electro-pop… After various adventures and experiments, SCORPIONS returned to the classics with “UNBREAKABLE”. A masterpiece pro shot that conveys that time is now available. This work was filmed at the “Athens performance on July 18, 2005.” This is the multi-camera pro shot. Speaking of “UNBREAKABLE WORLD TOUR”, there are two official videos remaining, “ONE NIGHT IN VIENNA” and “LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR 2006”, but this work is a three-part series that connects the gaps between them. It’s good to say that it’s a work of art. In order to explain the meaning of this, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time. 2004《“UNBREAKABLE” released on March 3rd》・April 17th – September 4th: Europe #1 (24 performances) ← *“ONE NIGHT IN VIENNA”・September 10th – October 10th: Asia / Europe #2 (15 performances) October 21st – December 10th: North America #1 (34 performances) March 16th – July 28th 2005: Europe #3 (26 performances) ←★Here★・July 30th + 31st: North America #2 (2 performances) ・August 29th – October 22nd: Europe #4/Latin America (11 performances) ・November 10th + 17th: Middle East (2 performances) 2006・May 19th – July 8th: Europe #5/North America #3 (11 performances) ・July 13th – September 9th: Europe (13 performances) ← *”LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR” This is 2004 -Scorpion Brigade in 2006. They have always continued to perform live, but this was their first tour in support of their new album in 5 years since their 1999 “EYE TO EYE TOUR” request. Its scale was huge, and it took about 140 performances over three years to slowly conquer the world. Among them, the official “ONE NIGHT IN VIENNA” was the 2004 edition at the beginning, and “LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR” was the 2006 edition at the end, whereas this work is the 2005 edition in the middle. It is also the same European show. Moreover, the quality is suitable to be called a trilogy together with the official one. Although it is analog broadcasted just because of the times, the freshness of the master is tremendous. Although I hesitate to call it “official quality” in today’s high-vision sense, if it was by the standards of the time, it would make me want to scream out loud. And what’s even more amazing is the camera work. The two official films also had elaborate videos, but this one is also very elaborate (with a different theme). The first thing that surprises me is the way they take pictures of the entire stage. The technique of taking pictures while floating freely over the audience’s heads is now standard, but I have never seen them move around like this. What can I say, it was like shooting a drone flying over the audience’s heads, or riding on a screaming machine. Even if the top and bottom are upside down, the gigantic venue will be rotated in three dimensions. “Maybe this is what Tommy Lee’s field of vision looks like during a drum solo”…I can’t help but think of another band. It may seem like an unsightly angle that just goes wild, but of course that’s not the case. The movement is controlled along with the song idea and beat, making it easy to see. There’s also a unique aesthetic to it, such as the use of split-screen cuts and overlapping shots of the large crowd and close-ups, and the close-up of the guitar’s hand is so aggressive that you want to dodge, fearing that the camera will crash into it. . While admiring British and American broadcasting, the camera work has evolved in a unique way that seems to have been created as a result of the pursuit of something even more amazing.The unique style of the camera work is the result of official footage and a “trilogy”. It creates a “work feel” that you want to call it. The show drawn with such unique active professional shots is also a show between “ONE NIGHT IN VIENNA” and “LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR”. Here, let’s compare it with the two official works. Uri era (3 songs)・IN TRANCE: In Trance・TAKEN BY FORCE: We’ll Burn The Sky/He’s A Woman, She’s A Man (★) After Matthias joined (19 songs)・LOVEDRIVE: Coast To Coast/Holiday/ Loving You Sunday Morning・ANIMAL MAGNETISM: The Zoo/Make It Real・BLACKOUT: No One Like You/Blackout/When The Smoke Is Going Down (★)・LOVE AT FIRST STING: Bad Boys Running Wild/Big City Nights/Coming Home /Still Loving You/Rock You Like A Hurricane・CRAZY WORLD: Wind Of Change/Tease Me Please Me/Hit Between The Eyes (★)・UNBREAKABLE: New Generation/Love ‘Em Or Leave ‘Em/Deep and Dark *Note: Songs marked with a “★” are not seen in either the official videos “ONE NIGHT IN VIENNA” or “LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR 2006.” …and it looks like this. The balance is perfect, as if you’ve sampled delicious songs from both “ONE NIGHT IN VIENNA” and “LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR.” Of course, it’s not just Ainoko, but also “He’s A Woman, She’s A Man,” “When The Smoke Is Going Down,” and “Hit Between The Eyes,” which you can’t watch even if you combine the two. “UNBREAKABLE WORLD TOUR” returns to the “royal hard rock” that continues to this day. This is a masterpiece video that allows you to enjoy the scene with unique acrobatic professional shots. For fans who love “ONE NIGHT IN VIENNA” and “LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR,” this is a trilogy that links together, and for those who have not experienced the official video, it is an entrance to the wonderful “UNBREAKABLE WORLD TOUR.” Live at Karaiskaki Stadium, Athens, Greece 18th July 2005 PRO-SHOT 1.
