Scorpions were filmed at an open-air show in Athens, Greece, in September, where they played three shows in three nights at the city's Lycabettus Theatre.

Frontman Klaus Meine says of the recording: "We played here many years ago. It is a beautiful place. I can remember that even back then the fans climbed on to the surrounding rocks. Of course we played some of the greatest classics this time, but we also performed a few new songs as well as material that we had never played live up to then. Those are songs which are very popular with the fans but which somehow never made it on to the set lists."
