Notes:
A bit of a story to the coming of these tapes (I also taped the Computer
World show), when these shows were first announced I was very excited and
was hoping to get tickets. I was in class the time these went on sale and
had for different internet browsers up with 2-3 tabs each to get ANYTHING.
Sadly, I got nothing for any date. I was pretty bummed, so I started posts
on Craigslist to get a ticket to any of the shows. I was also willing to
pay a bigger amount just because "Man Machine" and "Computer World" were my
two favorite albums, and could only go to the weekend shows due to final
exams and I worked on Sunday.

Finally, a two weeks before the show, someone said they had an extra and I
booked my plane ticket and headed to NYC!!! I was so excited and fortunate
to have the opportunity to see this show. The venue, was The Museum of
Modern Art in the 2nd floor atrium. I went there earlier in the day to
check out the museum and look around. Amazing stuff, but I was wondering
about the tall ceilings and how the sound would be. Lets just say, it was
the best sound I have ever heard… ever.. for a concert. Simply amazing.

The 3D was spectacular with Kraftwerk's simple visuals. Was so pumped to
hear "Spacelab" live after watching the Munich YouTube video hundreds of
times since October. A young Ralf Hutter singing "Radioactivity" for the
visuals at the beginning of that song gave me chills. This night was super
special to me. Something I will never forget in my life. The stage itself
was small and the left stack had a column right to the left of it. They put
some sound foam on it, and I thought that it would be the best to record
right in front of it because it would bounce off it nicely, and it sure
did! A bit in the middle there were some people (who obviously were not big
fans of Kraftwerk and just wanted to be there for its "exclusivity")
decided to have a faint conversation for a good 10 minutes or so, before
going to get another drink. People I talked to said that this was the most
energetic night in terms of audience. Most of the other nights were very
quiet, clapping and woo'ing at the end of songs. I am very happy with the
outcome of this tape and have to say it's one of my better ones.
