November 25, 2008German hard rock veterans SCORPIONS played an acoustic show at the Casino Estoril in Portugal on November 19, 2008 as part of their world tour in support of the "Humanity - Hour I" album. The performance was held at the Salão Preto & Prata and was part of the celebration program of the Estoril-Sol 50th anniversary. With this concert, the group also celebrated the 35th anniversary of its debut album, "Lonesome Crow".
Video footage from the pre-show press conference, which was held on November 18, can be viewed below.
SCORPIONS frontman Klaus Meine recently spoke to the Birmingham Mail about his band's impressive influence, often in far-flung territories.
"I've been told by travellers who have gone down the Amazon that they heard children at the side of the river singing 'Wind Of Change'," he said. "When we played in Russia, close to the Chinese border, the hotel in which we were staying had a local band playing — and one of the songs they performed was 'Wind Of Change'. In Bangalore, India, we played to a crowd of between 40,000 and 50,000 and when we played at Shillong, near the Himalayas, last December all the townspeople were given a day off to mark the occasion. We've played in a snowstorm in Siberia in temperatures of minus 10. With music there are no borders. It's a real privilege; we go to a lot of places where other bands don't go. It's surreal. When we started out, we couldn't even imagine playing one date in London."
