Well, what can I say about Scooter? To start with they are one of the most successful techno groups ever, with record sales eclipsing 30 million and to date have over 80 gold and platinum awards t their name. This along with having 23 Top Ten hits means they are the most successful German act.
I expected a high energy, larger than life performance when I went to see them in London in 2012, and did they disappoint? Not at all! It was an incredible concert, they got the places rocking and all in all was a cracking night! From them walking on stage and H.P Baxter announcing “Hello, it’s good to be back’ all the way till their encore of ‘Fire’ and ‘David Doesn’t Eat’ , the performance was of the highest level. They clearly love what they do and seem to enjoy the night as much as myself in the audience. With a their trademark combination of fast, energetic beats, great hooks and catchy melodies they got everyone singing along and dancing. Actually the word ‘dancing’ doesn’t do it justice! The crowd was wild, they simple just didn’t stop raving!Scooter managed to play most their big hits including ‘Hyper Hyper, Move Your Arse’ ‘The ‘Only One’ and The Leading Horse’ as well as number of others.
A superb concert for any Techno fans! If they make it back to the U.K make sure you get a ticket!
