In 1973, guitarist Michael Schenker left the Scorpions to join UFO, which then disbanded. The two remaining Scorpions members, Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine merged with the four members of Dawn Road, (Uli Jon Roth, Achim Kirschning, Francis Buchholz, Jürgen Rosenthal) using the name Scorpions as they were more well known than Dawn Road.[1] During his tenure as lead guitarist, main songwriter and occasional lead singer for the Scorpions, the band released four studio albums between 1974 and 1977. In 1978, the Scorpions released the live album Tokyo Tapes, which was recorded in Japan and sold nearly one million copies and went gold in several countries. However, Roth had left the band before the albums release. Roth formed his own band named Electric Sun which released three albums. The first, Earthquake (1979), was dedicated to the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. A second album released two years later, Fire Wind (1981), was dedicated to Anwar el-Sadat (the assassinated President of Egypt who had tried to make peace in the Middle East), and featured a song called "Enola Gay" about the atomic bombing of Japan. In 1985, Roth released his third and final Electric Sun album, Beyond the Astral Skies, dedicated to Martin Luther King and to Roth's fans. After Electric Sun, Roth entered a new phase of creative work, composing four symphonies and two concertos, and sometimes performing with symphony orchestras throughout Europe. Roth used the name Uli Jon Roth for all subsequent album releases and concert appearances. The G3 European tour of 1998 featured Roth playing with Joe Satriani and Michael Schenker. The tour show at London Wembley Arena also featured a jam with Brian May. Roth played at the outdoor rock festival at Castle Donington in 2001 (also featuring original Scorpions lead guitarist Michael Schenker on the bill), and this was filmed and subsequently released on DVD. Roth appeared in concert with the Scorpions onstage at the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2006 along with two other former members of the band. Billed as A Night To Remember, A Journey Through Time, the Scorpions played four songs from the Roth era, most of which they hadnt played live since Roth had left in 1978. The concert was filmed and released on DVD.[2] Although this was meant to be a one night only special event, its success meant that the format was repeated on several tours afterwards. On 2 June 2007 at the Rock am Ring festival in Germany, Roth joined The Smashing Pumpkins on stage for their epic closing song "Gossamer". He made another appearance with the Pumpkins upon their return to Germany on 26 February 2008. In 2007, Roth had begun working on a new full-length studio album, which was to be released the following year. The title of the album would be "Under A Dark Sky" and was going to be the first official release in the long-awaited series of Symphonic Legends - a cycle of music written by Uli for his all-encompassing Sky of Avalon project. Roth first debuted songs from "Under A Dark Sky" on 18 July 2008 in his headline set at the G-TARanaki Guitar Festival in New Zealand, Roth's debut concert in the country. In the week previous Roth had taken his "Sky Academy" tuition classes to regional Taranaki towns in Waitara, Inglewood and Opunake with guests Vernon Reid and Gilby Clarke. "Under A Dark Sky" was released in Japan on 20 August 2008 via Marquee records. The European and USA releases followed a month later on 20 September 2008 on the SPV record label. |

First at all, you need to understand, all those DVDs are rare stuff made by fans with home software and equipment, of course nothing offer on this site is compare with original DVDs, the quality varies on each titles. EXAMPLE: I recorded a broadcast in 1978 and I saved the tape in my basement for 30 years and I found the tape and I decided to put the video on DVD, no video remastered or audio, I just put on DVD; you can imagine the quality right? Of course is not gonna be really good quality or HD, this is the parameter for this kind of DVDs, not all are bad, not all are good, but you need to keep in your mind, this is rare stuff never released on original DVD, the quality is very different on each DVD, in this site you gonna find very good stuff and low quality stuff, that’s why is very important check it out the quality rating, is a tool to give you an idea about the quality, we have old DVDs with very good quality, and old DVDs very low quality, or new stuff HD and new stuff with no good quality.
The HD era change many things and now DVDs than before in 2003-2009 was rated 9.0 or 9.5 now are 8.0 or 8.5, now everything is HD but in the past was not like that, you can see original DVDs from 2000-2008, watch it now on a big screen and look low quality, that happen with many of our DVDs.
