What a show! Hypnotic, surreal, strange (especially when they had robots playing as them). If you can catch them on this tour (they're playing at Coachella) you won't be disappointed. For those who can't see them live their web site is entertaining: http://www.kraftwerk.com

The futuristic visuals and lighting were mesmerizing. Also got to see their robots on that show too. I was also fortunate to meet them briefly later that night when we went to a local coffehouse and they were there just hanging out and playing pool. Anyone that likes any kind of electronic music needs to see one of their shows.

At the time, pretty much every band (except the pistols)had long hair, and those that did not had the "liberty bell" haircut! These guys were way ahead of thier time!!

Ich bin ein froliche Kamper jetz.
