Eight Gigs: Uli Jon Roth
Thu., Feb. 23, 8 p.m., Goldfield Trading Post, $18
Most classic rock fans know the Scorpions from their massive ’80s hits like “Rock You Like a Hurricane” and its rock ballads. Former guitarist Uli Jon Roth, however, took a left turn musically many years ago, and with him, a loyal legion of followers. His current run of shows this year is dubbed “The Tokyo Tapes Revisited Tour” and will find him and his band playing songs from the Scorpions’ now-classic Tokyo Tapes live record from 1978. Fans of classic rock and jam-based guitarists should catch this rare show while they can. 1630 J Street, www.ulijonroth.com.
