Uli Jon Roth plots Tokyo Tapes Revisited live DVD

Uli Jon Roth will release a DVD companion to his recent Scorpions Revisited double album.

Tokyo Tapes Revisited will be out later this year, the former Scorpions guitarist has confirmed, and it’ll feature a two-and-a-half hour show recorded in the same venue where the band’s 1978 live album was captured.

Roth tells Sleaze Roxx: “We have recorded a lot of shows, but I just want to release the very best. There will be be a counterpart to Scorpions Revisited and it will be called Tokyo Tapes Revisited.

“It’s a DVD recording of a two-and-a-half-hour show that I did in the same hall where we recorded Tokyo Tapes. That video looks and sounds really great. We just finished editing it in Japan last week. It will be out later this year.”

Scorpions Revisited was issued as a double-disc CD last year.

Roth’s Ultimate Guitar Experience Tour with Jennifer Batten and Andy Timmons kicked off last month.
