it was pretty good actually...appart from the people who attended - first of all it was way too crowded...kind of bad they're so popular...and the people, ohh, what a silly crowd, there were some girls just infront of me who found kraftwerk to be quite amusing...they were like:"ohh, look, they wear ties...ohh and look how old they are"...and then every time they would change clothes (ie the neone ones), or when they put robots on stage...well basically every time they moved the crowd went wild...like some fucking zoo or something..i really have no idea why so many people came, cuz obviously they were entertained with everything else but music...it'd be great to have a smoke with that chill music, but it was too packed to even light up...damn... the music selection was perfect...i thought they're going to present the new album, but instead they were mostly playing old songs, and it lasted like two hours :) some songs i quite liked: -radio activity (probably the highlight for me) -autobahn -trans europe express -the robots -pocket calculator -music non stop -boing boom tschak - tour the france im glad i went. i couldn't take any pictures, they were very strict about that :( |

"i really have no idea why so many people came, cuz obviously they were entertained with everything else but music..." they were entertained. that might be it!! |

yes, i've noticed i put it wrong...ahh...i just hate people. |
||||||||
|

I would have got off on their antics too. I can enjoy the theatrics and the music. I remember the mtv europe awards when they played, that was awesome. I'd like to find some live vids of them playing out |
||||||||
|

the funniest thing is that people (who were obviously everything else but electronic music fans...well there were some of those too), were thinking: "wow they're really good with those computers", when all they did was probably just press play in the winamp or something...ah well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah tolstoyed. I can understand that...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty funnie you noticed the girls in front of you ;) |
||||||||
|
|

can't keep these artists in yer bakc pocket forever, now. well, I bet you can keep vsnares, autechre, etc the bunch in there for a few more years :) |
||||||||

When I saw em live on TV they looked like they had the rythms playing the whole time automatically, but triggered other samples through their computer keyboards. One of them would press his finger down each time a sample or a synth flourish chimed in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if autechre and idm will ever crossover into mainstream music in a big way. I'd be scared of what to expect. Maybe Vespertine by Bjork is an early indicator. |

they do play live though. steinberg made a special version of cubase for them where they can switch patches live with midi. or do other 1337 stuff with I dunno. but in their show in holland one of the guys loaded up the wrong patch for the melodie of a track. so the melodie was there but the sound was different. |
||||||||

|
|
why is that funny? it was so crowded they were more like on me than infornt of me...and i hate crowd. elusive, im not sure i know what you're saying... brokephones, if that's true, it's evem more lame than if they would actually just press play :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's probably for the show, i don't think they do much live, everything what i've seen on the tv looks so controlled and programmed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i get what you're saying now heh...yeah, alternative music all the way! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't really care how they do it...they play pop music, and there isn't much space to fool around when you're presenting songs everyone wants to hear...it's good to see them no matter how they do it, they're history, and well, the show is nice too see as well :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
I was just trying to give you information since you where questioning the "realness" of their gig |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, thank you for that :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, i just read some comments by other people who were there...they're all like:"best thing i've ever seen...", "no words to describe it..."...wtf terible, i tell you, terrible crowd :) |
||||||||
|
|

Pocket calculator! I would love to see that live. Bonah. Fucking awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe the audience were enthusiastic because Kraftwerk are the pioneers of electronic music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds like good stuff. Although, I hate "pocket calculator". It's so silly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Eh well I think I see them more as a novelty act. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The lyrics.....they are hurting my head! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kind of don't think there were that many of the old fans, and even those are clearly not into electronic music anymore...or maybe they just don't have the chance to see a decent gig here, yeah this might be it... it was nice, the lights, the screens, the music, but you can see this at almost every electronic gig..ahh...as i said above i just can't stand people :) mortsto, it's all silly, but they're kraftwerk so it doesn't really matter :) |

Kraftwerk was one of the gigs that I thought was alot of fun to attend. I enjoyed it more than the Aphex twin gig recently this year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
were there more than 50 people there? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kraftwerk played in a pretty big venue so it was pretty good! No real crowd problems.. and Kraftwerk fans arent too pushy and shovey! either! ;D |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i missed it here because some royal died :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some people are so RUDE!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well they played in a very big venue here as well, but since it was a lonely show in this part of the europe many people from neighbour countries came as well...they couldn't be any pushing done anyway, it was too packed :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they=there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you can't stand people than you shouldn've have gone in the first place :) you thought you would be only one there? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn neighbouring countries! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im sorry i don't have any pics, coz it was PACKED. we were like sardines if that tells you something. and yes, i wouldn't mind beeing there alone. princo, damn :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not even kraftwerk would be there, because they are people too. just you and the robots! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that'd be great! i was there for music :) |
||||||||
|

I know 100% how you feel. Kraftwerk will be performing live in Tallinn on the 30th. I'm worrying about the same reasons - they are making a huge fucking ad campaign for this event and it will probably end up being another huge event with no air... I hate living in a small country. Every time there is some kind of 'big' thing coming everybody 'has to be there'. Even the people who have never listened to Kraftwerk. The worst thing about it is that even the anchor girl in 9AM news reminds everybody "hey, are you going to the Kraftwerk concert? It's really cool yaknow.." fuck |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
i guess this is what we get when we go see a pop band...ah well, thank god there isn't too many gigs like this. and maybe i wouldn't even care aboout the crowd if they were there for music...but since they were there coz it was a "cool" thing to do, that kind of bothered me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i checked that other message board again, and there were over 20 posts and everyone is saying how much they loved the gig...and how excellent everything was. people are weird...or maybe it's me...maybe i should post something and say what i thought of it, but since i know some of those people in real life as well, maybe it wouldn't be that appropriate :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apperantly someone managed to smuggle in a camera, so if you're interested here are some pics from the gig - i hope that whoever took them won't mind if i post this link :) you can get a pretty good idea about the crowd... |
