For those who are interested :- Little snippet from Muzik (UK dance magazine, June edition), in an article called, '50 Festival Moments'. In at no. 3 comes the Kraftwerk appearance at Tribal Gathering. 'It could have been like the Beatles reforming and playing 2 hours of pub rock at Wembley. But from the moment that the first electronic snare drum of 'Numbers' rung out across Luton Hoo, 42,000 revellers were silenced with astonishment, then ecstatic with delight. The Teutonic techno-progenitors, attired in black sci-fi suits and slicked back hair (well..3 of them at least still have hair), delivered an epochal set, their first major gig in 15 years (?). Thanks to Paul Shurey and Ian Jenkinson who ran Tribal Gathering, the summer of '97 went down in dance music history.' So there.... Shaun

But it was all a bit predictable, for anyone who had seen Kraftwerk in concert before... UNTIL they appeared in the new outfits, playing a new tune... _That_ made the otherwise rather gruelling of the general Luton Hoo experience (the closest I've felt to being a PoW) all worthwhile. K
