Saw the Scorpions for the Animal Magnetism tour, at the Worcester Coliseum, open for Rainbow w/Graham Bonnet(worst version of Rainbow IMHO)
The Scorpions blew Rainbow off the stage. Bonnet was so bad that night that people were booing and yelling for the Scorpions to come back out.
Blackmore cut the night short when he broke his Strat after about 7-8 songs and stormed off the stage.

I don't remember the years. The tickets only show day and month. But price is in "pesetas", so they are all pre-Euro
