Kraftwerk live

These guys had the funk

This thread makes me miss Detroit so much.

Great clip, dancing AND audience participation. Is there any more like this?

is anonymous KW nr. 2 cracking up at 0:30?

awesome. guy on the right had easiest job in the world

It now appears that Ian Curtis stole his moves from Kraftwerk, who would have thought it.

According to his wife, Curtis was a kraftwerk fan

Oh I know he liked them, I just didn't realise that they danced like him too!

I thought I was a seasoned Kraftwerk youtube pro, but I haven't seen those! The current Kraftwerk live show is cool and all, but I wish they'd loosen up and move like they used to.

That would be terrible.

I wish I could go back to 1981 or before and see them live too. But moving like that today? NOOOO.

I appreciate the investment banker approach they have now.

They're opening for Radiohead in Latin America next year.

Really? That is going to be totally bonkers!

Sidenote: what a headfuck to be the headline act over KRAFTWERK. If there's any band I like more than Kraftwerk, it's probably Radiohead, but still.

It's going to be awesome.

That is a crime against humanity... ugh.

I check google about once every other month for live kraftwerk shows. they might be investment bankers on stage now, playing occasional melodies & tinkering with filters over a 95% inevitable sequencer but up through the early 80's they were one of the best live bands on the planet, and even when I saw them in '98 they were religious

trying to figure out which two I'd bump for:

The voice of energy / Uranium / Die Sonne Der Mond Die Sterne - 3:51 - 19810703 - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London
Pocket Calculator - 9:12 - 19810703 - Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London

somewhere out there, the recording of this 1973 concert is out there (go to 1:45)

That is a crime against humanity... ugh.

Fortunately, no one's forcing you to attend.

I would go and then leave... which I've done that many times, friendo.

Not to provoke or anything, but truly (and I say this with genuine Kraftwerk fanboy disappointment) doing this would have been very, very stupid at the Mexico shows. :(

The music was fantastic, as usual, and the setlists were changed up a bit from the first to the second night, but it could have really been just been the mannequins standing there with programmed iPods, for all I care, and the show would have been just as "exciting."

I never expected them to come across as so weirdly pointless and minor to experience in a live setting.

-been, or something

must sleep

This should be great. Curious how this will sound at the Walt Disney.

I saw em in the summer and they were really fucking good

I fucking love Kraftwerk

We are going to Chicago! What hotel is best? Is there transit to the Riviera?

Vienna tickets went on sale this morning, still seats left for most shows.

Kraftwerk's coming to Madrid next april, and tickets go on sale this wednesday...thing is, -nobody- knows what they'll cost and I'm expecting the worst (anywhere from 30-50 bucks) ― manuel (manuel), Monday, November 17, 2003 8:49 AM

Yep. Tickets are $55 plus service charges in DC. But its a 3d show...

Anybody know a good way to swap my Trans-Europe Express tickets for Computer World? Er ... Craigslist, I guess?

Tickets are normally personalized so you might have a problem there.

On 20 July 2018 around 21:50 local time, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst welcomed the legendary electronic band Kraftwerk and 7500 visitors to the Jazz Open Festival on Stuttgart's Schlossplatz – live from the International Space Station

Nine nights at the Walt Disney Hall here in May - one night for each album + a finale
https://www.laphil.com/events/performances/2912/2024-05-24/kraftwerk

It's been 15-16 years since I've seen them last (Florian was still there), but I kinda want to see this - The Disney Hall's acoustics are very very good.

I think I still have my 3D glasses from seeing TEE at the Disney concert hall. It was a real good show. This is tempting.

/r/kraftwerk had the presale code - got floor tickets for Trans-Europe Express night and am completely stoked for this.
