I´ve got my Blue Ray and DVD and I´m chocked ...no just kidding

Honestly I have to see it at least one more time before I can give a proper review.
But...
Second Skin is by far the best without any doubt and Call Me Mañana among the classics was surprisingly full of energy.
And what a stage designer! Woohoo!!! The combination of fireworks, lighting and displays were absolutely amazing.

Now I have to watch it again....

Second Skin is by far the best without any doubt

yeah, it was amazing to see. What a show, and what a track. HP really did a great job singing it live

me too second skin is great live, hope we here it again one day

any one notice that hp hasnt put a nick name in the dvd book, that is the first time scooter have dne this since the album wicked back in 96

I agree about Second Skin! Magnificent live performance! The best on this Live release + Endless Summer / Hyper Hyper / Move Your Ass also!

That last mashup was indeed great. It had so much energy, a perfect last track for a special evening

This has to be the best Scooter concert/DVD they ever made. Visually, it's pure perfection... The stage, the pyro effects, the dancers ( ), shufflers... The set list is great, they really forced UTROTT on this tour, which is good, considering how many great songs is on it. Fire is back, which is awesome, as well as Scarborough Reloaded - it was big surprise for me, I was so happy to see this live. Only one song missing on DVD, WTB, but I've already known this tune won't be included, so that's ok. SOR was played extended, which is another big plus, and Second Skin blew me away. H.P. sounds and shouts and sings much better then ever.

From what I've seen, Rick let Michael to do the main work for this gig. I mean, every main melody was played by Michael, who gave more energy to the place then Mr Baxxter himself. Well done, Mr Simon and thank you. Of course, Rick couldn't lose his recognizable smile form beginning to the end of the show. Sarah is so hot, as well as one of the dancers (that sexy girl from the previous tour, I can never remember her name, but )...

On the other hand.... Don't be mad at me, but while Scooter guys gave so much energy to the place , the audience was just barely alive, from what I've seen. I don't know if it's because Hamburg got used to Scooter playing there ( I know that Scooter is from Hamburg, don't worry), but if Scooter has come somewhere else, like here, in Serbia, the crowd would explode ..... There are some people on DVD jumping and having a great time (Scooterworld and The Flying Dutchman, for you guys, you were great), but it's just wasn't enough for the great band like Scooter. It's techno for God's sake, people should jumping, sweating and exploding in the energy that the band gives them. Of course, 12000 people came to listen and see Scooter, that's admirable.
Of course, maybe I'm wrong and the atmosphere was way better. It's just my observation from the DVD.

And the Sheffield Jumpers are pretty annoying to me, sorry, but never really could take them as something good or watchable. I just don't like them.

@Alex_Serbia: The crowd was loud as hell (i was there and i know), the DVD sound is edited and they made a softer background sound of the crowd, looks like we were too loud for them They shoud know that we are loud because we like it loud
Btw, the girl from the previous tour is called Giedre Mockeulinaite if i'm not wrong, an yeah, she is hot as hell (i hope Ed won't shoot me for saying this)

Yep, those two are also my favourites!

i wonder if you edit your tv settings, if you could make the crowd sound louder

I think when you change something in that, you might hear more "high noises" or so.... You can also change your surround sound settings, so that the bass is less loud and the "high" tones are louder etc...and that might help to hear more of the crowd...but it will make the bass less bouncing...so better leave it like it is I would say

Great review The Chaser, thumbs up !

You never know with HP, he might as well have done it on purpose but I see it most likely as a mistake.

Thanks for feedback, guys.
@ May: Well, I know that it might sound silly, but actually I really mean that all those mistakes that he has made are in a way just a proof that it's hard to be perfect always. Of course that without mistakes it would be better, but with them the "live feeling" is more real. I mean, he is just a human like we are and he make mistakes. The point is that with or without mistakes I love the "Posse" when it's played alive.

Some other highlights....


Posse - H.P missed the lyric?? Ha..ha.. guys, you must be kidding

The Sound Above - like the song, liked the angel wings and the dresses for sure

SOR - much much better than the album version, is it possible to buy it somewhere?

JAOTW - the jumpers did a pretty good job here (I like it when they´re dancing and not just walking up and down on the stage and asking everybody for applaud!)

TQIWITQ - seems to be "The Peep Show" for us ladies (and for some guys) thanks to Michael

SS - Where is the fog? Reminds me of the Encore video where H.P was complaining about the same if I remember rightly, yet the staging and the whole concert arrangement has developed tremendously during the last years. Congrats Scooter!
A little more effort and I -no diggidy diggidy Age- will be in the first row

CC/Scarborough - sounds really good after the first Scarborough part the rest could have been more entertaining with a properly choreographed jump-dance show

Fire - H.P´s intro is cool but I really miss a real guitarist to get that full effect

One - Still don´t beat my fav. live performance at Berlin Zitadelle when H.P was climbing

HMITFF - it was good to hear H.P singing fully the na naa na na naa naaa, his voice sounded really good (even in general during the whole concert)

Nessaja - some of you was complaining about the lighting, I think it was perfect just like all art, lighting, displays and pyros during the entire show. Unfortunately the whole video is too flickering due to fast picture changes. There was a lot of beautiful effects that would have been nice to see more of.

Hyper Hyper - Move Your Ass - awesome mix but much too short. It looks like even H.P. got that euphoric feeling during the last minutes while he was dancing. The only thing I missed (once again) was a couple of jumpers with co-ordinated dance steps instead of the gambol-girls.
Sorry boys (and girls), I know you like it but that piece of music really deserves some real "kick-some-ass" dance performance.
Would be nice to hear more of mixes like this...

The other songs were good Scooter standard.

all in all...
R U ready for some hardcore techno music? Move Your Ass! - lovely message to the computer generation
I just hope Ricky is keep on moving his ass too and don´t putting on weight again. (For some of us it´s goddamn hard after 30, I know... )


btw.... What was that fire in the crowd before the concert started? Has anybody noticed that?

i noticed the darkness in nessaja too, i somehow miss the part where normally hp shouts 3am the hole stage and arena lights up with a big white light

An excellent live.
The mistakes mentioned by some people aren't mistakes for me.
This is a live and if HP wants to sing something else as a 2nd verse, he's free to do that. I don't see why it should 100% same as the album version.

About the tracklist, it's good to hear tracks from the last album: Ti sento, J'adore hardcore, the sound above my hair, second skin...theses sounds really fresh. It's not again and again the same live tracks played.
A great album and dvd/BR.
