My father was a Captain in the US Army when we lived in Berlin for two years when I was growing up. I saw the Scorpions play there. It was the 3rd concert I'd ever seen. 1st was Buddy Rich when I was like 9, and the 2nd was the Bee-Gees when I was like 11. Anyway fast forward two years from my Scorpions experience and we were back home in the states. It was August of 79, and I went to see Ted Nugent. About a week before the show it was announced that AC/DC was his opening act. And the day of the show it was announced the Scorpions were being added as well. They were still hardly known here then and my friends knew little about them. They blew even Nugent away. In fact, they were first up, and after AC/DC came out people were still chanting for the Scorpions. Bon Scott told everybody "Fuck the Scorpions, yeah!"
Nugent was arrested at that concert too. He shot a flaming arrow across the stage during "Great White Buffalo". This was of course a fire code violation, and just before the Who concert tragedy in Cincinnati; so we still had festival seating. So we were at the rail and saw the cops handcuff him as soon as he left the stage.
All my friends bought Nugent or AC/DC shirts, but I bought a Love Drive tee. I still have it. It really doesnt fit anymore, butI've still got it, and its in pretty good shape.
I also have a Moving Pictures tour shirt. Its pretty "thin" fabric wise now. This of course was eons before I ever befriended the guys. When I saw them in Dayton ,Ohio that year I never dreamt then I'd be friends with them later.
