Seeing word of a show in Brazil (of all places) with groups like Europe (really ???), The Scorpions, Judas Priest and Savatage among others.

They all have to be in their 70s.

Wheelchairs? Walkers? Oxygen?

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Scorpions…I liked a lot of their music back in the day.

I saw them back in 90 or 91, pretty good show. Heard someone recently say his voice just isn't up to the task anymore (which seems reasonable).

On that topic, here's a kick-ass older Scorpions tune.

We made the mistake of going to see the Marshall Tucker band 20 years ago…Only one member of the original band left…and he sounded like shit…I could have farted into a barrel and sounded better.

Not surprising since most of the original members left by 1984. The only original member is the lead singer.

I've heard Judas Priest still puts on a solid performance.
Saw Judas Priest last Saturday in Dallas...they still put on a pretty good show...

Even saw KK Priest (KK Downing was one of the original guitar players in Judas Priest. He split from the band and this was his new band) last month in Fort Worth.

Here is pic I got of him and the other guitar player:


KK's Priest played with the band Accept (big German metal band in the 80's - their biggest song was Balls to the Wall)....They really kicked ass that night.

My first knowledge of the Scorpions ......

I was driving home late at night from a work gig. Very tired, on a two lane highway out in the middle of nowhere listening to WRIF out of Detroit. Song comes on, low and slow at first, bluesy ballad type stuff, then works into a harder more rock segment. Several more songs played after that and when the DJ came back on, he didn't mention any of the band names or song titles.

Probably took me a month to find out it was "Still Loving You" and to this day every time I hear it, I'm back on that two lane road in the dark.

I like Scorpions and Accept.

Bought a few UFO CD's not long ago, to get a deeper view of them.

Strangers in the Night.
Essential
Obsession/No Place to Run

Michael Schenker (of UFO) cofounded the Scorpions.


Also acquired all Rush studio CD's up to and through the 80's and all King Crimson studio albums, they're on Youtube in full. I guess the band just put them out there.

Don Henley is not above lipsyncing, but even so, his musicality cannot be beat. And anyway, idiotic music fans deserve to get mimed to since they have nasty habit acting like they themselves have perfect pitch and can tell the difference when they cannot at all.

Recently I've seen David Gilmour and Danny Elfman...both in their 70's.

No regrets.

I would not go see The Eagles again...without Glenn it isn't remotely the same.

I just saw IRON MAIDEN back in September. The new songs from Senjutsu suck. The songs from 1980 to 1992 still rock.

I saw Sammy Hagar at one of his Birthday Bashes during Covid a couple years ago at the Casino in Avalon, CA. He still puts on a good show. That was a fun weekend. We went over on my friend's boat and moored at his spot in the harbor and slept on the boat. You couldn't get a hotel room or airbnb, only reason we got the mooring is my friend's dad owns the mooring.
