Kraftwerk!
« on: May 30, 2005, 02:18:00 pm »
It's Memorial Day Weekend, and what better way to celebrate our country's brave, fallen heroes...than with some German electropop! As previously reported, Kraftwerk will kick off a brief tour in the U.S. Monday, after which they'll head back to Europe (and picturesque locales like Thessaloniki) for the remainder of the summer.
 
 >>>>Looking forward to tonight's first show! Hope tommorrow night is just as good!

If you feel up to it, afterwards log on so I (and anyone else that's interested) can find out how it was-really crowded or pretty good? Sound?

Great show and they had the robots with them!! The best part was that they played for two hours. It was well worth the $40.

t-shirts were $25
 i swear they were $40 in miami last year, but maybe they were only $30.. either way, cheaper last year..
 i didn't see any tour books, they had those last year..
 shirts.. autobahn, robots and one other i think? they had more last year.
 
 my 3rd time seeing kraftwerk in the past 13 months.. tomorrow will make the 4th.

so no tour shirt with dates or anything?  i looked at their webshop and saw lots of stuff like biking type shirts and stuff, i guess they don't have that either.

Three words: the fucking shit.
 
 If you don't have a ticket for tonight and are on the fence about going, just GO. You won't regret it.

Don't want to burst any bubbles, but I am fairly certain the set will be identical...but really, I cannot complain. It was AMAZING.

No Pro Photography, buddy had his camera phone and they were cool with that.  
 
 It was a great show.  They were running late because of flights in were delayed but that is minor.  Another for Be there!
