As the holiday season approaches, those who have heavy metal fans on their gift list won’t have to look too far in finding the perfect present. On December 6, the Scorpions are releasing a live concert filmed in high-definition 3D to give fans the maximum viewing experience.
Get Your Sting & Blackout – Live in 3D was recorded using the latest 3D technology on April 15 of this year at a concert in the band’s homeland of Germany.
“Naturally, we could have chosen a show in Los Angeles or Moscow for the recording, but this was about a quick decision and a viable implementation on the highest level of technology,” the band explained. “Saarbrücken was a very good choice – our fans were simply sensational and gave us the chance to thank them for their many years of support with this project in Germany.”
On-site technicians used 11 cameras equipped with the latest 5.1 surround sound to record the show from multiple angles.
In addition to 30 minutes of backstage footage, the Scorpions perform 20 songs, including greatest hits like Wind of Change, Blackout, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Still Loving You, and Send Me An Angel.
