amazing! i have all 3 the blu-ray, dvd and cd and they are all completely magnificent! the blu-ray is in stunning quality and the concert is just as brilliant, my favourite track from it is How Much Is The Fish!?! i also can't believe how active the entire crowd was throughout the whole concert! and the size of the venue i knew it was big but i didn't know it was that huge. i could go on for ever but i will keep it short. to sum up this is an amazing cd/dvd/blu-ray and i would recommend to everyone they must at least buy one of them!!!

I love it - it is fantastic!
the quality on the Blu-ray is great, and the concert fantastic.
Also I am very happy that almost the whole concert is on this release, with just one track missing. I like the way this concert was filmed more that EAA, I felt it gave a good feeling for the venue and the atmosphere, but I always felt EAA had too many crowd scenes, and shots of the stage with hands and arms partially blocking the view of the stage - that did not happen this time, I had no critism at all of the concert when I watched it last night - I just loved it :) I was lucky enough to watch it in full HD with a good audio system and I think the quality of the recording was fantastic. :D
I was lucky enough to have been at the concert, and without a doubt it was an amazing concert, the effects were stunning, and the audio was very good - it was the best concert I have ever been to without a doubt (but all Scooter concerts are great! ;) ) :)
A recording can never recreate the feeling of actually being there, but this does a pretty good job :thumbsup: :thumbup:

I also must say it's one of their best concerts I've seen. The feeling of the concert in Hamburg is transfered in a good way. I love this huge crowd and it's the first time that I'm satisfied with the sound-mix. :thumbsup:
It is fun to watch it and while listen to Endless summer/hyper hyper and all the other songs I remeber why I'm like Scooter so much. ;( ^^
Thanks to the guys!

That for sure, the feeling of being there oneself live is unique ;) :thumbup: But from what I saw on some Youtube vids, it will be a great DVD to watch and it will for sure bring many feelings back. Mine will arrive 11-5 is stated in a mail, so will have to wait a little bit to see the full show ;)

i've got the CD and it really doesn't blow my mind..
even forseing the glitches, there's something missing ...

I'm in fact kinda disappointed.

I was flabbergasted to hear how abysmally HP performed in Posse. It was so botched that I recollect experiencing extreme secondhand embarrassment, leaving me wondering how on earth he could have made such a clumsy mistake. I've learnt the lyrics to that track so well that I could recite Posse in just about in any situation thrown at me-- I'd venture to say that I could just about shout it flawlessly, even when standing in front of such an intimidatingly large audience. I suppose what's more disappointing is the fact that this Posse was a new and updated version for 2010, and was unfortunately ruined on account of HP mixing up the lyrics during the gig that also happened to be the one that was being commercially released later. I'm actually surprised no one has commented on this. This alone proves the concert was no where near perfectly executed.

Aside from that though, I did really enjoy the new hardstyle mash up of Endless Summer, Hyper Hyper and Move Your Ass. I thought that worked tremendously well. It was obviously a blast to dance to in Hamburg at the time, and a worthy addition to any Scooter collection. I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be with awesome autotune effect in The Sound Above My Hair and One (Always Hardcore), as I found myself just feeling unexpectedly indifferent to the two that I initially thought were the albums gems after being introduced to the samples for the first time. In fact, I felt largely indifferent to it all. It just didn't do anything for me. No chills. No rush of adrenaline or excitement. Felt like a real chore to get through it all. I was just reminded of EAA and Encore, with my mind telling me that I've already heard this all before. But it wasn't by any means bad... Just didn't manage to live up to my expectations.

I haven't had the opportunity to witness the concert via the DVD or Blu-ray yet, but I think I can safely that I'd probably feel the same way if I did.

great concert, great show and very great DVD!


The quality of the sound is very good! But you can't hear the fireworks sometimes.

And who the f*** forget to lighten the two dancers @Nessaja??? They were pretty, but @Nessaja they danced in the dark!!

Well, I knew it ofcourse already for months that HP made this mistake....but I have to agree with you that I was surprised that HP made a mistake in the track that he announced as the track for us, the posse.... but I suppose in all the excitment etc on stage it can happen. Luckily on the second concert of the UTROTT tour that I attended this mistake wasn't made again by HP.... but it's on DVD, so it's now archived forever. ;) But on the JAOTW DVD we had a mistake in No Fate, so it seems there's always a track where a mistake happens.


Aside from that though, I did really enjoy the new hardstyle mash up of Endless Summer, Hyper Hyper and Move Your Ass. I thought that worked tremendously well. It was obviously a blast to dance to in Hamburg at the time, and a worthy addition to any Scooter collection.

It was indeed a mega blast to dance to in Hamburg. Believe me, when I heared the mash up in the show, I got so energetic and jumped like a mad man. It was epic. I especially like the fact that the dark voice from JAH, that was used in the intro, was again present in the final track of the concert, this was a good way to close the chapter, the chapter of the Hamburg concert day. I especially like the new hardstyle version of Move Your Ass at the end of this mash up, this was stunning, and still is 8)

maybe this glitch with "posse" happened 'cause he was to drunken or he's getting already demented due to his smoking.
and i also noticed that he shouts nearly all the time witha delay of about 3 seconds ..

i watched the dvd last night and at the end when the dark voice is comming again I had to fight with tears in my eyes. The quality is excellent and the amazing size of the venue with 14,000 peoples in it is breathe taking. The only negativ critic I got is the fact that you can not hear the crowd very good. When I visited the hamburg concert the crowd was unbelievable loud but not on the dvd. Anyway, all in all the dvd is awesome, the concert is an epic piece of scooter history in many ways. I watched the dvd 3 times within 16hrs :-).

It was very hard to top the 2008 concert but they did top it but in my opinion it is almost impossible to top the 2010 concert!

Just watched the BluRay for the first time and I'm absolutely amazed. First of all, the sound + video quality is fantastic. Nothing to complain about. Concerning the songs: There's been some talking about the Intro before the release, that it was changed or played backwards, so I was curious of how it'd sound and even though they apparently changed it, it still sounds very good to me and creates excitement for what's about to come. Posse is definitely one of the highlights for me, both in a negative and positive way. It's really one of my absolute Scooter favourites and this modified version is totally awesome, which makes HP's mistake even more annoying. It could've been so perfect if he didn't mess up the second verse. As I've been performing with a band myself for two years, I know mistakes like that can happen. HP's also human, but at least on a concert that's going to be released later, one can expect a perfect performance. One the other hand I'm glad that they left Posse in, as they could've cut it easily.

Second Skin is the first of my two absolute highlights. I was surprised when I heard that they had performed it on the tour, but now I know why. This track works out so beautifully live. To me it sounds even better than the studio verson. And IMO HP gives one of his best vocal performances here. I was really "floating on air" listening to it. :love: Fire's also great, but I was a bit disappointed, that they didn't use the autotune effect like they did when performing on the TV Total Stock Car Crash challenge earlier this year. But nevertheless, probably the best performance of Fire I've seen so far. I was also surprised to see what an absolute crowd pleaser Call Me Manana is. The crowd went totally nuts. Awesome performance.

After Posse being messed up a bit, I was hoping for How Much Is The Fish to turn out perfectly, and it did. I love the way they reworked the song soundwise. Again one of my absolute Scooter favourite songs (that song turned me into a fan in 1998), and amazing to hear how they change and modify their performances of songs like that from tour to tour. Thumbs up for that :thumbsup:

As I managed to not listen to the samples before the release and also didn't watch any youtube fan videos, I didn't really knew what to expect concerning the final medley. The only thing I knew from the forum, was that they made some kinda hardstyle version out of Move Your Ass, so apart from the reworked Posse and HMITF, that was the track I was waiting for the most. And damn: They really saved the best for last. This medley is the perfect concert closer, with the MYA part definitely standing out and leaving me absolutely stunned. By far the best track. I don't really know what to say about this. Both Endless Summer and Hyper Hyper are awesome the way they're played, but Move Your Ass totally blew me away. I had goosebumps when that part started. They dark voice fits perfectly in and the rest is just a total blast. I really really wish that they someday play a complete version of it. Now I also understand why people were wanting a studio recording of it. Absolutely stunning!

All in all, a great live release. After EAA, which disappointed me in various ways, I was a bit scared that it'd be the same with this one, but all of my worries were completely wiped away. The crowd and the whole atmosphere are good, the light show is brilliant and overall the band gives a great performance and so do the dancers. IMO this live release is pretty much on the same level as Encore, which was by far the best live release so far to me. Infact, Live in Hamburg got me totally euphoric and reminded me why I still love Scooter so much. This particular feeling, the energy...brilliant :thumbsup:

So my personal highlights from Live in Hamburg are (the one's printed fat being the ultimate ones):

- Posse (I Need You On The Floor)
- The Sound Above My Hair
- Stuck On Replay
- Second Skin
- How Much Is The Fish?
- Endless Summer / Hyper Hyper / Move Your Ass!

But there's one thing about the CD which annoys me a bit. I don't understand why a lot of times the interaction of HP with the crowd between the songs is placed in the beginning of the tracks on CD. On the past live releases it always was placed at the end of a track, then the cut, and the next track starting directly. Now the cut's directy after a track, then the interaction and then the next track's starting. So now if I want to listen to certain songs, there's HP talking for like the first 30 seconds and then the actual tracks starts. That's a bit annoying to me. But luckily that doesn't make the songs itself any worse :D ;)

Yeah, they did top 2008 although it was hard to do, but if they will ever top 2010 is the question. But knowing Scooter they will have something up their sleeves to top this one again, I'm sure of it ;)

Yes, i hope they will release it as a b-side or just another track on the upcoming single release! B-side wouldn'd be so wise because we will hear some coments like "they were to lazy to create a good b-side and they simply put this mix on it and even if it's great, it's not an excuse for their lazyness" So they SHOULD release that version, but a new b-side too;)

About the DVD....
It's better than i expected, because i know there were discussions about too much editing, the cutting of WTB and some copywright problems with the intro. Apart from some mistakes made by HP (in Posse and BABB), the concert is HUGE, i was there and now i'm happy to re-feel that atmosphere. The venue was great, lights, pyros...
My highlights:
Call Me Manana ( such a great response from the crowd, we all went crazy:D)
Fire (one of the best performances ever of this track;))
How Much Is The (Fuc.king) Fish? (Once again, amazing!! I enjoyed the new version since 2008, and now it was a pleasure to hear it again! :thumbsup: )
Scarborough Reloaded (I was really impressed how good is this track live;) I remember thaey played a longer version in Cologne, without Clic Clac...both are great;)
Endless Summer/Hyper Hyper/Move Your Ass: one word AMAZING!!! Especially Move Your Ass, i saw it live 3 times a saw many youtube videos and i watched the DVD 3 times until now and i'm stil amazed and i can't get enough!

And all this at that price.....as T!M mentioned, is so fan-friendly.
So, once again, i will never regret that i travelled 2000 Km to see Scooter in Hamburg! I knew it for sure that this gig will massive right after they announced the dates, and it was! This is a memory for a lifetime! :thumbup:

I have heard the concert CD. Then at 2 AM at night I just had to listen to it once again. So I did with headphones. You know what I wanted to do at 2 AM while listening? I wanted to get out of bed and run a whole marathon, I felt the energy flowing inside me (no other music gives me this feeling,along with goosebumps at HMITF-since I liked this one from my Berlin Zitadelle concert that I attended to.

H.P's mistakes at Posse are forgiveable in my book-I mean at least we know he goes all the way deliver the song live-and it's not like he totally sucked in it ,not like some britney playback and lip-singing.

I'm no expert, but IMHO on top of that some songs are hard to sing live because of the BPM I think-it's not perfect to fit the live singing and shortage of breathing into the almost pre-programmed high BPM, it's not slow-BPM pop songs ya know ;)

Other forums are more complaining about the concert, but I really like it.

The only negative for me is too much use of the dark voice lyrics from the Stuck On Replay, both in Intro and STR and elsewhere if I'm not mistaken.2-3 times at one release is too much I think. Maybe it fits good if you are really at the venue,but on a CD it doesn't pass along so well I think.

ITS A GREAT DVD
i love the arena, great performance from the guys, and some new track versions, posse is one of my favs of all time and to here it fresh was amazing
its a shame there wasnt much added effects to the tracks, like when rick makes tunes up before songs and so on
but the energy in some of these tracks was amazing

JAH had some good croud
Weekend-was mental with the crowd
BABB was also good witht the crowd
CMM- the crowd love this one

all in all wicked

now can scooter beat it with the new stadium inferno tour
this tour should also be on dvd, wow
PUSH THE BEAT
