I was a long time fan of this legendary band from Germany. I was fortunate to be able to see them touring at their Zenith. That was on June 17th, 1984 at the Hampton Colisseum in Hampton Virginia. They were touring in support of the album "Love at First Sting." I can say unequivocally that they were worth every dime of the ticket price.
It was a general admission show. I wound up front row center. How I lived through it I will never know, but I remember it being the best concert I ever saw.
But like all good things, Scorpions are coming to an end. This is not unexpected. Nobody works forever. If there's positive news, it's that Scorpions have been touring and recording since the late '60s. Most bands are done after 10 years but these guys managed to keep it going for over 40 years.
All we can do now is say thanks.
