ULI JON ROTH – Tokyo Tapes Revisited: Live In Japan (2016)
One of Hard Rock’s most venerated guitar Gods, ULI JON ROTH, has released a very special live performance from the Nakano Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo, Japan, titled “Tokyo Tapes Revisited – Live In Japan“. The performance is a celebration of Roth’s classic work with Scorpions, and was recorded on February 20th 2015 at the same venue as the band’s classic 1978 live album Tokyo Tapes.
Roth was a founding member of Scorpions in 1973 before leaving to pursue a solo career in 1978 with his own band Electric Sun. As the recognized creative heartbeat of Scorpions, Roth achieved worldwide fame for his unique guitar and songwriting talents, in turn causing him to influence a plethora of modern guitar giants such as Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Steve Vai, George Lynch, etc.
Roth’s playing here – now 61 years old – is intact, and with the fire he was known for when he burst into the scene.
The band which performed with him for these shows is top notch; Nathan James (vocals), Jamie Little (drums), former Zeno bassist Ule W. Ritgen, Niklas Turmann (guitar, vocals), Corvin Bahn (keyboards, vocals) and David Klosinski (guitar).
Having a very good backup guitar players seemed to help Roth relax a lot so he could really cut loose. Additionally, the rhythm section is pretty heavy, rounding an overall punchy sound.
Uli Jon Roth still rocks, and rocks like hell.
