We played a very special show in Greece (and the only one for the rest of the year). We played with the SCORPIONS and DOKKEN at Creta Festival which took place in the beautiful island of Crete. I’m sure all good tourists know where that is.”Not only did we use special pyro for that show, but I also ended up joining my idols, SCORPIONS, on stage and played ‘Rock You Like A Hurricane’!!! This was beyond my imagination and I sure wasn’t dreaming! I thank the SCORPIONS for being so nice to us and for the once-in-a-lifetime invitation to play with them; I’ll never forget it!

Here is the setlist:
1. Blackout
2. Another Piece of meat
3. Don’t lose your trust
4. Let me rock you
5. Take it as it comes
6. Fast as lightning
7. He’s a woman, she’s a man
8. Rock you like a Hurricane
