Also on a side note they have moved back the American release date of this DVD to a later date. There should be a Official release date in North America coming in the next month. Sorry for the confusion in the last couple weeks over the release of this historical DVD here in America. Management and the record label keeps changing the dates and it's out of my control. Please Keep the Faith this DVD is worth the wait.

SCORPIONS:Wacken 2006 — this was a very special concert for us, exciting and challenging and— most important of all — a family reunion.We wanted our fans to participate, so in summer 2006 we put a set of 50 songs on our homepage for the community to vote. Many of the songs chosen we had on our setlist anyway, but there were also many surprises.Together with Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth and Herman Rarebell this show at Wacken gave us a great platform to journey through time — 35 years of SCORPIONS history!"A Night to remember" it was indeed, a night to remember with an audience of 60.000 die hard metal fans who celebrated with us that the SCORPIONS got the sting and rock you like a Hurricane!Thanks to everybody...
