If all else fails, I think a Web search will find you a couple of dealers selling these two (in the US, IIRC). Both are recordings of Kraftwerk gigs in the '70s. I never bother with bootlegs of the later concerts, because the renditions of the songs on them rarely add much variation or improvement to those on the official albums, which are of higher quality and are the definitive versions (IMO). But the recordings of early gigs are of more interest, I think: it's very interesting to hear Kraftwerk "jam" and experiment with themes which they would polish, rework... I don't condone bootleggers profiting from Kraftwerk's recordings. But for material which documents the early years of an important band, it's hard to condone the material being suppressed or ignored...? K
