Uli on a modified Firebird with a strat pickup(!) Great shots of Rudi's medallion V. Ridiculous guitar solo faces, 1970s fashions :)

stumbled on this one completely by chance.

Fantastic!  :D

Good sound, picture and camerawork too, for once.

Man there must be so many old treasures in the archives of WDR / Rockpalast. I would love to go through their old stuff and make it available to the public.

I think Uli played quite great there, really his unique style and tone shining through. The rest of the band is a bit "untight" compared to the much simplified, riff based Scorps of later.

I love the Scorps, Klaus with hair is also not bad  :lol:

another thing i didn't realise, but uli and michael are practically the same age - they are born less than a month apart.
