The show will be split into two parts with an intermission. The first half of the concert will feature a wide gamut of new and old pieces written by Uli Jon Roth, including excerpts from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and Uli’s Metamorphosis Concerto. It will also include a brief TED Talk by Uli introducing his new book In Search of the Alpha Law.
The second part of the concert will accompany the worldwide vinyl release of all three Electric Sun albums, alongside all 5 ULI-era Scorpions albums. This will see Uli perform a breathtaking set with his full band, showcasing songs from each Electric Sun album, as well as tracks from his time with the Scorpions. It’s set to be an unforgettable experience for all Uli and Electric Sun enthusiasts.
Uli Jon Roth’s signature tool of expression is the legendary Sky Guitar which he invented. The name of the tour, Interstellar Sky Guitar is reflecting the fact that we are celebrating 40 years since the first one of these ground-breaking instruments was built. The tonal range of Sky Guitars far exceeds that of traditional guitars, effectively turning the electric guitar into a six-octave instrument as opposed to the three-and-a-half octave ones, which are industry standard. The ingenious, striking, body-shape of Sky Guitars which makes the extra frets possible, enables Uli to equal the registers of the violin and the cello. The main stars of the evening are the state-of-the-art “Excalibur” 7-string Sky Guitar, alongside Uli’s famous “Mighty Wing.”
