I have never been big into live albums, so I never purchased this until today. I saw it at the pawn shop for $5 and I am getting my ass kicked. Those guys sounded great live !!

I'm not a big live album person either, but 'World Wide Live' and 'Live After Death' are great. I wore those cassettes out back in the mid eighties. Is WWL a double CD? I know they cut some songs off of LAD to fit on one CD. I need to pick WWL up for sure now!

That is one of the best live albums out there - I wore that album out after it got released. "Big City Nights" on there SMOKES!!!

:hotjump: :hotjump: :hotjump:I spent many a hour trying to find myself in that crowd on the cover!!! I have a few copies of this album, the last one I picked up had a promo pack inside so I scored for $12 bucks the album, two 8 x 10 glossies and a press kit. They remain the best for me now and always!

Let me say this, I bought that record as a teen. Got a chance to see them live in '88, then again in '90, then in '98 & then in 2004. They always sounded like they did on that "live" record. These guys are either using tapes all the time or are just THE band to see & hear live! Love them!

WWL is a single CD with 19 tracks on it. It was remastered in 1997 and it sounds great. ONe of my best friends in the 80's had WWL on 2 LPs but I don't remember the tracklist.

The original version of the cd has only 15 tracks. It cuts out Another Piece of Meat, Can't Get Enough (parts 1 & 2), and Six String Sting. I have the remastered version also and the vinyl.
They are easily one of the best bands to see live. The first time I saw them was 8/28/84 on this tour (I was 16). Saw them again in 88, 96, 99, 02, & 03, most recently at Nassau Coliseum where they played the song Animal Magnetism, and I still can't believe it!! I also love how they've worked in songs from the Uli era on the recent tours. It's hard to top We'll Burn the Sky live.....
Whenever they open for bands, I just laugh because no one can touch them live! IMO, they blew away VHagar at Monsters of Rock in 88, the Crue in 99, and Deep Purple in 02. Their professionalism made the Crue look like 12 year olds.

LOL. You're right, I underestimated them. HA HA. Let's compromise...how's 17 sound?
As far as DP goes, Wyvern, and all due respect to Steve Morse...it didn't compare to seeing them in 1987 with Blackmore. I just thought the Scorps were better that night.

I have to disagree with you one this one. After seeing DP a few times with RB and then a few times with SM. The SM era just has a bit more flavor. Don't get me wrong, I love Blackmore and think he is a really innovative player, a true original. Steve just brings a bit more to the band.
The Scorps just plain ROCK every time I see them. Sound wise, playing. Never a note out of place.

Chocolate for the news
. Of course Blackmore is WAY better, sadly I was never able to see DP with Ritchie live. All and all, and maybe also because Joe Satriani came as a surprise guest, or maybe because first time I saw DP with Morse was less tight than in 2002, I felt DP way heavier than Scorps. Maybe I was missing Rarebell and Bucholz, dunno
