No preamble, no blah blah blah talking about it, just straight into Uli on stage, filmed here last year at the Legs Diamond show (at Sunken Gardens if I'm not mistaken). Three songs played on one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. I believe it's the one shown here:
Awesome...it's got like 30 frets, 7 strings, and he jams on them all. The first clip was one of his solo instrumentals. Then (thank you, Uli and The Scene!), my favorite Scorps song ever, "Sails of Charon". I don't know who was singing on this one. I didn't see any singer. But it was the guitar I was interested in anyway, so who cares? The last clip was Uli doing "All Along the Watchtower," I would normally say Jimi Hendrix-style, but since it's Uli, I'll have to say Uli-style. He actually sang this one himself. And though I'll have to say I'd rather watch Uli play than listen to him sing, he did a passable job.
After Uli, I was treated to a couple songs with Judas Priest live: "Electric Eye" and "Metal Gods." I wrote Jenn to ask her where this footage came from, and she informed me that it's from the SE of their new album that comes with a DVD. I've always been a big Judas Priest fan and was happy to see that the guys still have it. Glenn and K.K. still tear it up and, although Rob Halford doesn't hit those high operatic notes as often as he used to, he proved that he still CAN, and that's impressive in my book.
Great show, ending with a little bit of Legs Diamond at the aforementioned Labor Day gig as the credits rolled. I'm definitely a new fan of The Scene!
