Kraftwerk

Gondel Kino

Bremen, Germany

June 25th 1971

Remastered FM.

Vintage Kraftwerk with NEU! founders Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger

still in the band at this point.

No Autobahns or Man Machines here.

Just proper heads down/no nonsense Krautrock.

In den letzten Wochen waren viele deutsche Besucher auf dem Blog

...aber sie hinterlassen nie einen Kommentar.

Ich bin mir sowieso nicht sicher, ob die Deutschen deutsche Bands mögen.

Kraftwerk

Sartory-Säle

Köln, Germany

March 22nd 1975

Remastered FM sourced vinyl rip.

Over the years Ruckzuck has become a favourite.

There is still some organic humanity on this recording.

Something they were determined to eradicate :)

Good quality BBC footage from the post Florian Schneider era.

The new guy can press start

...but no one can press start like Florian could :)

Fill yer minimalist boots.

Kraftwerk

Paradiso

Amsterdam, Netherlands

September 11th 1976

I just sent new links to AtticRock for Kraftwerk Nakano 81

so that should be available again soon over on Soundaboard.

It made me think of this vintage audience recording.

Autobahn is 'cut' but only after 20 mins or so.

Not the greatest sound quality but not the worst either

and it is of interest due to being, allegedly,

the debut live performance of Transvestite Express.

Sorry...I meant Trans-Europe Express (damn predictive text)

I really enjoyed revisiting this one.

Weird to see a Tangerine Dream 'power-trio'.

and Kraftwerk's Ruckzuck mesmerised me.

Featured artists include:

Kraftwerk

Wonderland

Can

Kin Ping Meh

Xhol Caravan

Floh de Cologne

Tangerine Dream

Amon Düül II

Guru Guru

Frumpy

...and more...

Here's an early incarnation of Kraftwerk when they were very much pioneers.
I guess this is not for the casual fan.
