Well, that was outstanding. i haven't seen Kraftwerk live since 1991 or 1992 but that was a gig I will never forget, and they're still changing and adapting. I wish I'd had the money to get tickets for their Italian gigs.



> and they're still changing and adapting

Saw them for the first time in maybe 2014 or so. I hadn't followed much about them except listening to their music, so I was expecting them to be playing with a full setup of vintage 70's gear, mainly because there are a lot of other groups formed in the 70s who are still big and are doing that.

I was really excited to see them mostly using iPads and microsoft Surfaces hooked up to several keyboards and other MIDI controllers. I think they just always want to be trying out the newest musical tech.


It seems like an enormous amount of effort just to make your entire life an excuse to fiddle with tech, lol. Long may they continue


watched them live last year in Teatro Antico di Ostia, wonderful show to see them live, worth the ticket price.
