they first showed up via the newsgroup postings at alt.music.kraftwerk. It seems some things appear there first before filtering down to activerecord. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Reed To: Music, non-stop.

Hi people, can't add much to what's been already written about this tour... however: 1) The Auditorium was crammed full, lots of people begging for spare tickets at the entrance. Audience ranging from teenagers to people in their 60s. Lots of girls too! 2) I met a couple of listmembers (Giorgio Reiter from the mondokraftwerk site and Sergio with his lovely kid Luca, just 10 years old and already at his second KW concert!) 3) Usual setlist, crystal clear sound, not a single glitch in the visuals, some very minor flaws in audio mixing (can't be sure). There were a couple of speaker cabinets at the very rear end of the hall but I heard them used only during the "Autobahn" intro (car going away) 4) Until you've seen it, you can't believe how beautifully synchronized audio and video are. Actually, KW are playing a sort of "soundtrack" (sounds familiar?) to the videos. They're (especially Ralf) actually "playing" more than I expected - lots of twiddling with his knobs/sliders/keyboard. They were definitely enjoying themselves. 5) Until you've seen it (2), you can't believe how static Florian manages to be - we were really worried he could fall down every minute. At the end of part one however he rushed away like a pro runner. 6) They had no interaction with the audience, although I managed to see a hint of a smile on Ralf's face while he was singing "Minicalcolatore". Florian smiled only at the end of the concert, while giving his usual exaggerated bow. Ralf politely gave us a "Gute Nacht/Goodnight/Buona notte". 7) Best live track: Radiactivity - it gets scarier each time I hear it. Definitely a track that has benefited from extensive reworking. A couple of not-so-positive notes: 1) The "dancing robots" interlude (I never liked it) now appears a tad boring. BTW one of the robots was not moving while the other ones need heavy strobo-lighting just to give some impression of movement. IMHO the only outdated and slightly boring part of the show. Althought the robots are part of KW heritage, they should in my opinion either drop them or replace them with something more effective. 2) I was told that one of the listmembers had a mishap and couldn't attend the concert. Alex, are you there? What happened? Ciao, Luca
