The Scorpions are sharing video of a performance of their 1984 classic, “Big City Nights”, in sync with the new release of “Coming Home Live.”
As part of a 60th anniversary tour, the Scorpions headlined a special arena show in the city where it all began – Hanover, Germany.
The July 5 event before 45,000 fans – which saw the rockers joined by special guests Alice Cooper, Judas Priest and more – marked the first time the legendary rockers performed a stadium concert in Germany and in the hometown of Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, and Matthias Jabs.
“We can hardly believe it, but today is the day! Our new album, ‘Coming Home Live,’ is out now,” says the band. “For us, July 5th in Hannover wasn’t just another concert, it was the best way to celebrate our 60th Anniversary with all of you. The energy you gave us that night was truly incredible. This album is the attempt to capture exactly that feeling, that sound, that homecoming – and give it back to you.
“To everyone who has been with us for the years, maybe even for the entire 6 decades: A huge, deeply felt thank you! Without your loyal support, there would be no Scorpions. So, listen in, turn it up, and let’s relive that special night in Hannover together again.”
Newly-released via Spinefarm / Vertigo / Universal, "Coming Home Live" is now available in multiple formats including vinyl and CD.
The Scorpions are sharing video of a performance of their 1980 classic, “The Zoo”, as a preview to the band’s forthcoming release, “Coming Home Live.”
In the late 1970s, 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan was one of the most vibrant streets in the bustling melting pot of New York City. Just a stone’s throw from Times Square, cheap peep shows stood next to sex shops, and drug stores crammed between shady facades, behind which you could donate blood for a few dollars.
In the local scene, this street between Broadway and the Theater District was known as The Zoo. And around The Zoo, you could find everything that defined the sunny and dark sides of the Big Apple.
When the Scorpions performed in New York in 1979 as part of their US tour, they couldn’t help but notice 42nd Street and its pulsating, yet gritty, nightlife. Klaus Meine immortalized the legendary street with his song “The Zoo.” And the iconic riff of Rudolf Schenker’s composition became one of the band’s most recognizable musical trademarks, cementing their place in the hard rock genre with the 1980 album “Animal Magnetism”.

“When we came on stage in the Lenin Stadium and started our show by playing ‘Blackout’”, explained Meine in 2020, “all the Red Army soldiers, who function as security, threw their hats and jackets in the air, turned to us and became part of the crowd.
