The original and only line-up of Dawn Road features Uli Jon Roth (guitar, vocals), Jürgen Rosenthal (drums), Francis Buchholz (bass) and Achim Kirsching (keyboards, vocals).[2] The band's repertoire consists mainly of their own compositions, written by Ulrich Roth and Achim Kirschng, recorded in demo versions without releasing an album or single. For a short period between 1972 and 1973, Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine of the Scorpions joined the group, before all four Dawn Road musicians joined the Scorpions in 1973, then only by Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine.[1]
Uli had enjoyed the whole experience and suggested to Rudolf afterwards that they should maybe do more music together. Rudolf did not want to resurrect the old line-up, however, but came to Dawn Road’s rehearsals at the Robert-Koch Schule in Langenhagen. It was then decided to form a new band together. Some time later Uli persuaded Rudolf to ask Klaus if he would join as well, who then came to the rehearsals as well.
