Jamming for Big City Night 
Kottak drives the crowd crazy with his solo on the drums

A scintiallating performance! Nothing else. Scorpions totally lived up to all my expectations.
Scorpions took to the stage with Hour I from their new album and that was just the beginning of the hurricane that was set to follow. Then Klaus Meine greeted the crowd with a big Indian "Namaste Bangalore" and promised a lot of classics alongwith the numbers from Humanity. And that disappointed nobody. :) Not least those gray haired enthusiasts I spotted in the crowd, some still clinging on to their blackberrys and others with their kids in tow. Nor the younger fans. I am convinced today that Ballad Rock still cuts across all age groups in Bangalore.
The classic ballads were played to the acoustic guitars. What a performance it was? What followed was the best display of a drummer at his elements. What an entertainer? Kottak was too good. He played the drums as he took off his Tees and gulped down a Kingfisher. 'India India.... Bangalore Bangalore' was his chant. The crowd simply adored him. Then started the hard rock with 321, Blackout, Tease me Please me, Big City Night .... They finally closed the show with Rock you like a hurricane.

Had an amazing time tonite. I fulfilled one of my dreams of seeing Scorpions live in concert and also took a couple of their pics and video clips. Last time they were around in 2001 I was not there. This time I was there and sang along to almost 80-90% of all the numbers they belted out tonite. Not bad, huh! Now I can go to bed happy and satisfied.
