"This is not the greatest DVD release, but being a big scorpions fan, I'm still glad I got it and have watched it several times. The greatest scorpions DVD by far (I have them all) is Acoustica, the Scorpions version of unplugged in Dolby Digital 5.1, with an un-believable cover of dust in the wind by Kansas, plus 20 other songs. Acoustica was never released in North America for some un-known crazy reason. My copy came from Germany.The 2 hidden videos-To get to "Big City Nights", from main menu select special features, then with dolby digital 2.0 highlighted, press the left arrow button twice. When the Scorpions logo appears, hit enter to play video. To get to "No One Like You", from main menu select Live, then next to highlight track 7, then hit the left arrow twice. When the Scorpions logo appears, hit enter to play video."
Great DVD but...

"why did they mix Matthias Jabs' guitar so low in the mix on the live show! I have to strain to hear him soloing! The next logical step is to release World Wide Live on DVD in 5.1 surround with tons of extras. Wouldn't you agree?"
Great to have on DVD, but needs more content

"The Scorpions are truly one of the best rock bands one can enjoy as much "live" as their recorded music. I enjoy having the "highlights" of the Crazy World tour and "To Russia with Love - A Savage Amusement" both on this new DVD. I do wish that they had more origional material on this DVD.
The live/Crazy World portion still has the same flaw that I felt the origional had: the instruments drown out the singer (Klaus Meine). It is almost an EXACT re-hash of their prior two videos mentioned in the above paragraph.The best part of the DVD, is the crystal clear videos from the polygram/mercury era. This includes the rare "Alien Nation" and a hidden bonus video (go to special features and hit the left directional arrow twice, then enter/select), "Big City Nights. There are many old Scorpions classics on video such as, "I'm Leaving You," "Holiday" and numerous other hits that have never been officially released on a video compilation such as this.These videos look great and make the purchase worth it for me."
THE SCORPIONS STING AGAIN!

"the scorpions have always put on a great show,and this is another of their great ones! i found the whole disc to be a pleaser.although i think the live portion is rather short. the video portion is a great addition to anyones scorps collection. its mix of old and newer videos makes it worth the cash. if your a scorps fan,go for it! you wont be disappointed"
Super Scorpions!

"Just as I hoped it would be -- live shots as well as artistically created videos. My ONLY disappointment was that the song "Holiday" is only the short version. The second part of the song is fantastic and I was hoping it would be included. DVD shows a wide variety of songs from many different albums and you can choose each song individually, or you can select "play all". Klaus' voice is right-on throughout the entire series and each musician's talents are featured in detail. As a total "Rudolf devotee", it's fantastic because you can hear every lick perfectly. A definite MUST for Scorpions fans!"
