If you played in a hard-rock band during the '70s, what were you likely to be doing circa 1978? Why, recording a live album of course. Preferably a double vinyl set, and in Japan to boot. The Scorpions were no exception, and in fact, their Tokyo Tapes were captured only days after Cheap Trick's At Budokan in April, 1978. Though hardly as inspired or successful, the Tokyo Tapes set still serves as an ideal greatest-hits collection of the Scorpions' first decade. This recording also showcases the spectacular playing (and occasionally, the dreadful singing) of guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who would soon leave the band for a misguided solo career, but displays some jaw-dropping technique here, most notably on the epic "We'll Burn the Sky." The rest of the band also put in competent performances on such early standards as "In Trance," "Fly to the Rainbow," and "Speedy's Coming." The material on disc one is consistently strong, and though a number of pointless covers ("Houng dog," "Long Tall Sally") and that most dreaded concert spectacle — the drum solo — break the flow on disc two, the band still closes strong with the crowd-pleasing Japanese folk song "Kojo No Tsuki," and frenetic versions of "Dark Lady" and "Robot Man." Ultimately, if you have any curiosity about the Scorpions' early material, pre-American breakthrough, Tokyo Tapes provides the perfect introduction tRACK iNFORMATION 01 All Night Long 3:11 02 Pictured Life 3:48 03 Backstage Queen 3:40 04 Polar Nights 6:55 05 In Trance 5:31 06 Well Burn The Sky 8:12 07 Suspender Love 3:39 08 In Search Of The Peace Of Mind 3:02 09 Fly To The Rainbow 9:49 10 Hes A Woman Shes A Man 5:28 11 Speedys Comming 3:37 12 Top Of The Bill 6:44 13 Hound Dog 1:22 14 Long Tall Sally 2:33 15 Steamrock Fever 3:44 16 Dark Lady 4:06 17 Kojo No Tsuki 3:55 18 Robot Man 5:50 gROUP mEMBERS Founder A-Venture Co-Founder Komox Seniors Dawgbyte,Dazer,Hooch,WyseGuys.
