Not sure why they are doing another acoustic album, but 2001's "Acoustica" was excellent and the set list for these shows was great.

I'm fairly sure I will purchase this, but I want to see what songs made the cut.

O love the Scorps, but they're starting to overdo it on too much "product" at least it's new recordings & not yet another comp.

Bump:

Updated with track listing and new release date at AmazonUK.

This will be getting a US release (I think in Jan or Feb) and it looks really good. Also a DVD and Blu-Ray will be coming.

I couldn't get the cover art from Amazon.

The Scorpions have revealed the tracklisting for the upcoming release of “MTV Unplugged - Scorpions Live In Athens.”

Due November 29 in Europe (January 21, 2014 in North America), the package features a mix of classic Scorpions tracks and new songs.

In September, the German rockers performed three MTV Unplugged concerts in Athens, Greece at the city’s Lycabettus Theatre.

“When we were approached with the idea of playing an unplugged show, we immediately thought of Greece,” says singer Klaus Meine. “We played here many years ago. It is a beautiful place. I can remember that even back then the fans climbed onto the surrounding rocks. Of course we played some of the greatest classics this time, but we also performed a few new songs as well as material that we had never played live up to then. Those are songs which are very popular with the fans but which somehow never made it onto the set lists.”

“We have fabulous fans all over the world,” adds guitarist Matthias Jabs, “but the Greeks are absolute die-hard fans.”

“MTV Unplugged - Scorpions Live In Athens” will be available on CD, DVD and Blu-ray disc, and can be pre-ordered via the Amazon links below.

I'm listening to a 12 song version. It's pretty good except for the guest vocalists which are a mistake.

Sonically, it's brickwalled (DR7, but not horribly fatiguing due to the acoustic nature.

Here's the tracklist of the version I'm playing:
01. Send Me An Angel
02. Where The River Flows
03. Passion Rules The Game
04. Rock You Like A Hurricane (with Johannes Strate)
05. Hit Between The Eyes
06. Rock'n'Roll Band
07. Blackout
08. Still Loving You
09. Big City Nights
10. Wind Of Change (with Morten Harket)
11. No One Like You
12. When The Smoke Is Going Down

There are apparently several versions of this out there; there is a 2 cd edition with the track list above + 1 more song on CD1. & 12 more on CD2 + the version Pete posted.

The 2 cd version has the following track list:

01. Sting In The Tail
02. Can't Live Without You
03. Pictured Life
04. Speedy's Coming
05. Born To Touch Your Feelings
06. The Best Is Yet To Come
07. Dancing With The Moonlight
08. In Trance (with Cäthe)
09. When You Came Into My Life
10. Delicate Dance (Matthias solo)
11. Love Is The Answer (Rudolf solo)
12. Follow Your Heart (Klaus solo)

CD2

01. Send Me An Angel
02. Where The River Flows
03. Passion Rules The Game
04. Rock You Like A Hurricane (with Johannes Strate)
05. Hit Between The Eyes
06. Rock'n'Roll Band
07. Blackout
08. Still Loving You
09. Big City Nights
10. Wind Of Change (with Morten Harket)
11. No One Like You
12. When The Smoke Is Going Down
13. Where The River Flows (feat. Ina Müller)

Not essential, but not at all bad. Reasonably enjoyable listen. Will have to play more than once to give an opinion on the new songs. While I THINK I've heard al;l of there albums, not sure I'd know a new song from anything they released the last 15 years. Most of the Scorps studio albums this century were played once or twice here, enjoyed & then never played again. My one complaint is the "Guest vocalists" are totally out of place.

The songs that are new to me on the 12 track I'm playing are #'s 2, 5, 6 & 12; which does not necessarily mean they are new!

I have no explanation or this, but the 2 cd is more brickwalled than the 1 cd edition. 1 cd is "DR7", 2 cd is "DR6"
