It was the live equivalent of 'The Mix': derivative, recaputulatory, motionless, lacking in vision. I wonder. It seems they lost their magic some time ago and no-one wants to admit it. Live they are just as dull as their new records, and in much the same way.

It now appears that Ian Curtis stole his moves from Kraftwerk, who would have thought it.

I thought I was a seasoned Kraftwerk youtube pro, but I haven't seen those! The current Kraftwerk live show is cool and all, but I wish they'd loosen up and move like they used to.
― (Z S) (Z S), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:34 (fifteen years ago) link
That would be terrible.
I wish I could go back to 1981 or before and see them live too. But moving like that today? NOOOO.
I appreciate the investment banker approach they have now.

I check google about once every other month for live kraftwerk shows. they might be investment bankers on stage now, playing occasional melodies & tinkering with filters over a 95% inevitable sequencer but up through the early 80's they were one of the best live bands on the planet, and even when I saw them in '98 they were religious

Not to provoke or anything, but truly (and I say this with genuine Kraftwerk fanboy disappointment) doing this would have been very, very stupid at the Mexico shows. :(
The music was fantastic, as usual, and the setlists were changed up a bit from the first to the second night, but it could have really been just been the mannequins standing there with programmed iPods, for all I care, and the show would have been just as "exciting."
I never expected them to come across as so weirdly pointless and minor to experience in a live setting.

We struck lucky for Nottingham, using the venue's own website. It was down for the first 20 mins, then miraculously came back to life, after Ticketmaster / See / Ents 24 were all saying "sold out".

A pal of mine emailed me at 10.17 am to say he'd got them - he went through the Concert Hall website, just like Mike, so I guess that was the way to go.
I'm sorry that people will miss out on the chance to see them - and I hate to think what greedsters are going to try and resell tickets for - but also very pleased they're not playing an enormodome like the Hydro.

suspect a UK arena tour would have been v much undersold unless it was like two dates. their popularity is prob being exaggerated by (a) everyone who wants to go having 24/7 internet access and (b) the % of tickets going straight to tout gangster scum sites

This was way less stressful than for Tate Modern, when I didn't get through on the phones until 4pm, the sole website having irretrievably crashed in seconds. Many hundreds of calls, but totally worth it in the long run.
