Kraftwerk 3D – the German electro pioneers doing their thing* at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre this weekend.

Here’s some close-up live action from the same show in Amsterdam last year.

Everything. As It Happens.
Great show, and perfectly suited to the venue.
Might have been first night of tour nerves, but thought Ralf was slightly rough around the edges in places, yet all the more human for it, adding to the performance. Long live the man machine.
The last thing Ralf wants to be is human :)
…rofl

We can do it together.
This is not the greatest song in the world… this is just a tribute.

Style over substance…
Couldn’t get a ticket either? :)
You reckon?
KW’s influence is up there with the Beatles, Sex Pistols, Dylan.
Style, in reaction to a lack of substance.
If you don’t recognise Kraftwerk as the Tour De Force that they are…
If you don’t understand the contribution they made to Modern Music, especially to Hip-Hop (in it’s earlier days), their invention of Techno, their perseverance for ‘ART’s’ sake, their massive influence on today’s music and how music is currently produced…
It doesn’t matter.
Only Lee Scratch Perry is more important.
Fecking kids… children….
You know nothing, but you think otherwise.
