Would we all be more happy if we never had a chance to see and hear KW
live again ? I sincerely doubt.
While Herr Schneider has my full respect for his contribution, Herr
H?tter also has my full respect for carrying on the flag. How easy it
would be or him to retire. Instead, he travels around the globe and
brings this wonderful, unique show to new grounds. And, besides, gives
us old fans a few more chance to re-live our youth.
Cheers
I totally agree with you, I saw KW last year - and I would love to see
them again, I have to say I did miss Florian but Stephan did a great job
of the visuals, sure he's no Florian but he'll get there (on the visual
side of things). Believe it or not the concert was full of energy and
expression. There's allot of life still left in the ol' machine.
cheers

state of the art, or much more like some kind of art. This is rather
ridicioulous and sadly to see this kind of self-deconstructing ending up
as some kind of support act while playing on every festival they can
catch.

Every once in a while promoters put together concerts with two acts
that are so prominent that neither can be comfortably thought of as a
"support act". This might be one of those times (as a Kraftwerk fan
who knows little of Radiohead besides the fact of the band's
existence, I'd tend to view it that way).
Obviously, one has to have top billing, and one band has to play
first; it appears that Radiohead gets the top billing and Kraftwerk is
playing first. That would make most people see Kraftwerk as the
opening, or "support", act.
Back in my college days I used to work at one of the major concert
venues in St. Louis, MO, and I saw a couple concerts where the acts
were prominent enough, and had different enough fanbases, that the
audience almost completely "turned over" during the intermission
between acts (i.e., the audience for the opening band almost
completely left the venue, and the audience for the main act didn't
enter the venue until the intermission). What's the likelihood that
the Kraftwerk/Radiohead show is going to be like that?
Cheers,
LRC

Hi,
I am looking for a ticket for one of the Wolfsburg concerts.
I know I am a bit late.
Actually, I had personal issues when the tickets were released for sale,
and at that time, I thought I could not attend the show.
Finally, everything is sorted out for me, but unfortunately, the
concerts are now sold out.
I would like to avoid the "black market", and the insane overpriced
tickets.
I think it's better when fans can help each other.
So, if you have a spare ticket for me, fellow Kraftwerk fan for the past
15 years, I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Christophe

Thanks, Klaus,
you said it better than me. Yes, KW is the support act for Radiohead,
festival producers and brazilian media.

AFAIK, Kling Klang is the responsible for KW releases, and probably
distributed by a major. This is one of the real differences between
german 70?s bands and the rest of the world, the control of mostly the
complete process. I really don?t know if this major could drop a KW
release. Dirk?

I would call this disability by unsureness based on the fact of being
overtaken by the speed of
contemporary technical developments and in general without remarking it.
