was midstage 30 feet from the stage and the sound was very good. even at that distance the bass was penetrating. how good was the show? 5 days later and its still reverberating around my head!

Doh! I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this until now, I totally would have driven up. I’ve seen them twice in the last 10 years and they amaze everyone I bring. Even my girlfriend, who hated them before seeing them, loves them now. Maximum-Minumum is good and the DVDs are cool because it’s like being there again. I really like how no longer do videos show people’s lighters, they show the screens of their camera phones.

Buying advices for a Kraftwerk newbie:

In this order

- Minimum Maximum DVD
- The Mix
- Computerworld ( Kraftwerk`s masterpiece! )
- The Man-Machine
- Trans Europe Express
- Electric Cafe

You seem to be a biking fan, so I can really recommend the “Tour de France Soundtracks” a s well

What? Dude, it took me about 3 minutes to figure out your lame allusion to “4/20.” You need to be more precise in your language.

And “Vitamin” is about conditioning your body for bicycling, not about taking drugs.

I was in the second row near middle and totally enjoyed the show! My first time seeing them live and it totally blew me away. I was wondering if anyone had pics from the show that they would be willing to share?? I managed to snap photos from my cell phone, but was wondering if there was something of higher quality out there. I will be checking this page to see if anyone leaves any comments. Thanks much!

I can’t complain… It was a great show…

Plus this amazing blog writer got me in to it.

Gotta say, it was a pretty sweet night overall..

And as far as introducing Kraftwerk into your music library… the Minimum-Maximum compilation is probably the way to go.

Can’t believe they actually came to Milwaukee, was it the German connection?! Great show!! I was worried about the sound of an electronic group in that ballroom, but it was very good. The crowd was prety big and I was surprised how many young folks were there (including my 15 year old son). For a moment it was like listening to Computer World on vinyl in a dark room all over again! Glad to say I was there!!

They played Showroom Dummies! Oh, hate the new guy already and the solos from Boing Boom Tschak were REALLY short.
