Tokyo Tapes is a live album by German heavy metal band Scorpions.

"Tokyo Tapes" was Scorpions' first live album, recorded at Nakano Sun Plaza (Tokyo's Nakano Ward, Japan) on April 24 and 27, during the band's Japanese tour in 1978.

These shows were guitarist Uli Jon Roth's last performances with the band, who had announced his departure after the release of Taken by Force.

Tokyo Tapes includes songs from all Scorpions' albums released before 1978.

Roth commented about the recording of the album: Цитата: Tokyo Tapes was a peak time, we have played together for all these years and it all came together at that time. Particularly on the first show, which unfortunately wasn't recorded. There were three shows in Tokyo, the first one was by far the best, but the second one was good too. Those are the ones on the album, the second and the third that were used. The first one I thought was a lot better and I was disappointed that it wasn't recorded

Before eventually busting out in the states and garnering their share of commercial success, Germany's Scorpions, like so many rock groups, were already BIG in Japan. Tokyo Tapes documents the Uli Jon Roth era, as the fine-tuned Scorp's kick out a hot set of live material during dates in the land of the rising sun. The concert recording captures the group delivering from the stage, behind the driving, dive-bombing guitar work of Roth and Rudy Schenker, and the vocals of spastic front man Klaus Meine.

The strong seventeen song stage performance includes "All Night Long", "Pictured Life", "Backstage Queen", "In Trance", "We'll Burn the Sky", "He's a Woman, She's a Man", "Speedy's Coming" and the jack hammering "Steamrock Fever".

In hindsight, Tokyo Tapes cleary marked the end of stage one in the long and successful career of the Scorps. Personal changes, including the departure of Uli Jon Roth, and a label change in the states, ushered in phase two of the Scorpions marathon run. Subsequent recordings, starting with Lovedrive (1978), established a more refined and accessible sound, while retaining a hard edge, resulting in huge international popularity.

The 2001 re-issue of Tokyo Tapes features remastered tracks that bring new life to this '70s recorded concert experience.
