Of course, he oohed and aahed over all the gear I had staged for this issue’s photo shoot, but when I asked him what he’d like to hear, he said, R“I hate to admit it, I’m pretty much a rock guy. I’m really not into the audiophile-approved stuff.” He laughed when I told him I didn’t even own a Patricia Barber record. Fortunately, he’d come to just the right place. Seconds later, I cued up Audioslave’s first album on the Sooloos music server and cranked up “Gasoline.” He had a big smile as we went through a few more heavy tracks when I asked if he wanted to hear some vinyl. About 30 seconds into the recent MoFi release of Beck’s That was shock and awe! I’ve Sea Change LP, his eyes were closed and his feet were tapping, “ never heard the just like a seasoned audiophile. music I like After a little Snoop Dogg (hi res digital this time), we went sound like this. back to vinyl and spun some Clapton to wind up the session. His response? “That was shock and awe! I’ve never heard the music ” I like sound like this.” Interestingly, we found that we had a lot of music in common even though about 25 years separated us. But the hook was set and you could see it all over his face; my guest was having a great time with nary an audiophile-approved track to be heard. While I despise columnists who blather on with their lists of “rules,” I merely suggest one thing; if you’d like to further the cause for music and HiFi, play your guests’ music and let them discover. That’s always worked for me. 10 TONE A U D I O NO.31 August 2010 11 TONE TOON PUBLISHER Jeff Dorgay EDITOR Bob Golfen ART DIRECTOR Jean Dorgay r MUSIC EDITOR Bob Gendron M USIC VISIONARIES Terry Currier Tom Caselli STYLE EDITOR Scott Tetzlaff SENIOR Ben Fong-Torres CONTRIBUTOR CONTRIBUTING Bailey S.

August 2010 13 LIVE MUSIC The Scorpions Sleep Country Amphitheater Vancouver, Washington August 7, 2010 Text and Photos by Jeff Dorgay 14 TONE A U D I O NO.31 August 2010 15 LIVE MUSIC o one was snoozing Nwhen the Scorpions blasted onto the stage with the German power and precision of a Porsche Turbo motor screaming at redline, opening their 90-minute set with the title track off their recent album Sting in the Tail. After 35 years of touring, the Scorpions still deliver the goods, arguably as well as they did in the late 70s through the late 80s, the peak of their popularity. The only regret was that the setlist wasn’t long enough for 17 more songs. The group’s current lineup features founder Rudolph Schenker on rhythm guitar along with core members Mat- thias Jabs on lead guitar and singer Klaus Meine. Drummer James Kottak, who has been with the band since 1996, and relative newcomer, bassist Pawel Maciwoda, held up their ends of the bargain with a rock-solid founda- tion and a more than ample helping of attitude. Near the start, the band romped through “Bad Boys Running Wild” and “The Zoo” before slowing the pace with a few ballads. As soon as the sold-out crowd got comfortable swaying back and forth with lighters in the air, the Scorpions put the pedal to the floor again with “Tease Me, Please Me” and “Black Out,” dividing the classics with a thunderous drum solo. No, it wouldn’t be a real rock show without solos, and Kosak gave a textbook performance during his turn in the spotlight. (continued) August 2010 17 LIVE MUSIC Similarly, Jabs and Schenker were on fire all evening, trading a flurry of riffs and poses. Before the set’s close, the pair treated the crowd to a massive dual-guitar solo and took the dial past 11. The fist-pumping fans in the front rows looked like they were ready to trample the barrier and become one with the guitar gods onstage. The show ended with two of the Scorpions’ biggest hits from their triple- The Doug Fir Lounge platinum album Love at First Sting: “Big City Nights” and Portland, Oregon “Rock You Like a Hurricane.” April 26, 2010 Although the U.S. leg of the tour is over, the Scorpions Text and photos by Jeff Dorgay are headed to South America and Europe, appropriately finishing in their native Germany on November 27.
