There is a decent quality bootleg from this same tour. I briefly suspected it was the same show, but apparently not.

This is a particularly good fidelity recording given that most from this era are murky.

On a different note, I’d recommend Kraftwerk fans prepare for some unexpected news soon, and I don’t mean cancelled or deferred tours…

Ping Island from “Life Aquatric” at the 1 min 33 mark.

Tell us! Kill the pain of the forthcoming cancellation/postponement with some good news!

Very likely won’t be good news.

Booooo.

I’ll guess then!

Tour will be postponed but will happen. Sadly, it will be their swan song. One final EP and a mass reissue with unreleased material.

Fun fact: they shortened Karlheinz Bartos’ first name to Karl in order to save money on those neon signs.

(Source: Karlheinz Bartos’ autobiography which I’m reading, on and off, at the moment. For the record: Bartos was okay with it; apparently he is that kind of guy.)
