I was a year old when this was recorded. Why was I born in the totally wrong generation.

Florian Sch. and Ralf H. are living just a couple of kilometers in distance. One about 4 km right from here, the other one 4 km left frome here - and the (new) Studio is somewhere in the middle - right at my village (3 Min.-Walk). ;-)

So don't worry - for sure they still meet each other in the Supermarket !!!!! ;-)

...very interesting period, post classic on-stage and before their currently default podium set-up ....and yeah, it is really nice to see Florian getting into the spirit of things...

Thanks for posting this.  Wow ... what fun ... what a cool concert that must have been.

I like the part at :59 when Ralf is smiling and getting into it with the crowd.

WHY did they stop playing live like this, enjoying themselves and dancing rounf on stage? :'''''(

[HarryBlach]

are they still using the beegees rythm machine, stylaphone wolfgamgs home-made drum and the casio v12-80/speak and spell in the 90's

[tigrius]

nope, it was custom made keyboards for them.

[DaftJarre]

Sadly, no

I just spent a week working with German Colleagues in the US, we hooked up You tube to the huge flat screen in the hotel lounge, and i saw a different side to them! Don't ever say the germans don't show emotion or get crazy

They just do it in a very orderly fashion!

Seriously, this music sums up the way it is to work with them. Very serious, very orderly, but a heck of a lot of fun too!

I look forward to the next time thy come over here or i go over there!

Nice to see Florian actually enjoying live performances. Too bad he retired.

I'm guessing this was the last time they got interactive with the crowd with the handheld mini instruments before they got the laptops. The only other time I saw them like this was in their older videos during their 1981 tour, when Karl and Wolfgang were still in Kraftwerk, doing this same bit.

It's too bad they don't do that anymore. :(

It is amature video recording from the New York City gig of kraftwerk

My comment was just a joke and is very funny!
