  • Thank you very, very, very much indeed for uploading this!!!!

  • @jmummot thanks to you for watch it!!!

  • Is there a full length of this, these edits are killing me!

  • SUPERNATURAL!! TANX 4 POSTING THIS GEM

  • I saw a performance MGMT did recently on a late night program, I think David Letterman, and they used a bubble machine on stage. The B-52's have used one too. But to use one so early on and be so unique, and with such solidarity in a small scene is something else. Very cool and innovative band. They sort of saw the art rock, alternative and indie scene that was to come. NEU! are legends for that.

  • Hey...these could really be my ancestors....same last name...and they open up the concert with bubbles...OHH YEAHH....thats my family right here...

  • That drummer reminds me of my dog before I got it to stop pulling at the lead.

  • Wow.

  • Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

  • HELLO, I SEEM TO RECALL THAT THERE WAS THE 5-6 MINUTES VERSION OF THIS VIDEO WHERE THE NAMES OF ALL BAND MEMBERS APPEAR ON THE SCREEN! I WATCHED THIS ON YOUTUBE MAYBE TWO MONTHS AGO BUT NOW I CANNOT FIND IT. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIND THIS AGAIN AS IT WAS FANTASTIC.. RIP BROTHERS DINGER....

  • @CRAIGANJOS What you say is unlikely. This video comes from the documentary 'Kraut & Ruben' and it is the whole recording of NEU! from this movie. Unfortunately this concert hasn't been published in any other form.

  • @Davis752 I distinctly remember a longer version as my girlfriend would laugh at Klaus and say that he sounded like Cartman from southpark..also this has been spliced/edited around 1.12 and I clearly remember it having a caption under each member with there name..the german tv company WDR probably have it. but I can assure you even if it isn't from the 'Kraut&Ruben' doc . I know that it was on youtube..don't wanna argue about it as I beleive that we would both love it back on youtube..

  • cool!

  • Just brilliant! I hope one day people stop saying that Neu!, Can, and others, are "proto-punk" as if this is something good, meaning that they did a kind of music that was developing into something better. No! This is great music without labels! And they were not ahead of their time: they were in the right time. Were they ahead of their time, they would be then Lady Gaga.

  • @baracatjr

    I have to agree with you - Neu!, Can, Kraftwerk, Amon Duul, et al have to be judged on their own musical merit, not just the genres they're said to have inspired.

  • @baracatjr agreed, for example, comparisons to U2 are not flattery ... if anything, U2 dumbed down the sound.

  • Ahhhhh! so. much. good. music. my head's gonna explode!!

  • Epic :)

  • When Neu! split in 72/73 Klaus Dinger formed La Dusseldorf with his brother Thomas and Hans Lampe, when Neu! reformed for Neu! 75 he brought them along with him to complete his side of that LP (the La Dusseldorf LP came out after Neu! split again in 75). Just check the credits on any Neu! record and you will see that Klaus is credited with playing guitar on them all. He may have been the drummer on the first 2 LPs but he contributed very much more than just the beats.

  • @mrrubbish yes and no, NEU! never split they returned to record together cos they have a recording deal with the"metronome" label, the concept of La DÜsseldorf was a round klaus's head that time (74 aprox) and much more than that, he founded a record company to promote new bands and give a chance to people like " Lilac engels" but all the rest of strong companies fucked his plans, of free concerts etc,...this and the end of his relationship with his girlfriend ended to be the lyrics of "hero"

  • @mrrubbish and yes both of them were multi-instrumentalist, both played drums too,guitars and so on,...but michael was more a guitar player and Klaus was more a drummer and that doesn't mean nothing in particular,Klaus himself said in his short autobiography (you can found it on "dingerland" on the web) says that began to take guitar lessons in 1975-76, and i think that their style of playing guitar on their solo albums (rother-la düsseldorf) are very similar and i love both

  • What I don't get is that Thomas Dinger and Hans Lampe are both doing the drumming, Michael Rother is on the keyboard, and Klaus Dinger is on rhythm guitar. Who's doing the lead guitar? Or was the lead guitar pre-recorded?

  • @uktransplantedyank Look carefully, mainly at 0:07! Rother's actually carrying a guitar. An unusual position for a guitarist though and unusual face expression for such a track. Maybe the purpose of it was to make people concentrate more on Dinger's stupendous showmanship.

    By the way, I love the white scarf near the ceiling, the smoke and the bubbles and Klaus Dinger's style in general. But I'm always wondering why he was so mysterious (not to say mystical!). So sad I can't ask him anymore.

  • @varsovien28

    Oh, right. I didn't notice that.

  • Kurkweill keyboards

  • danke,für die arbeit+video...gruß hartmut bauer wilmersdorf

  • Amazing! Wish someone had footage of the whole performance. What a shame.

  • Some really nice and rare footage of NEU! Could it be shot in the Ratinger Hof in Düsseldorf?

  • Damn!  Was that a Thor's Hammer around Thomas Dinger's neck?

  • @uktransplantedyank seems to be,yeah. But it wasn't and isn't (?) illegal to wear this?

  • @namaste91

    Of course not! Why should wearing a Thor's Hammer be illegal?

  • Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this live performance?

  • ...cos mnie co dzien ciagnie w tamta strone..

  • Dungarees and a bubble machine. What a mix!

    Great music though

  • real neu!

    yesss. not that stale fake ass shit that rother is trying to do now.

  • 0:57 Rother thinks: "WTF is this asshole doing?" lOl

  • That bubble machine looks like one of the ones used by the Bonzo Dog Band in the 60's.

  • neu ist es nicht

  • rother is on the lead guitar... but it looks like he's playing keyboard no? he plays the lead guitar, with all that effects tapes..... like the noise from the begining, are made by rother.... the chords of dinger are e major and a little variant of that chord.... very easy....

  • das waren zeiten, mensch

  • W O W!!!!!

  • Ich liebe die 70`er :-) - schade, dass ich da noch ein kind war

  • Es sieht so aus, als wäre Rother das nich so alles ganz geheuer um ihn herum :-)

  • o mein gott :O

  • Wow this is so punk rock!

  • @ACrackInTheWall2006 Proto-punk!

  • Klaus Dinger was such a genius.

  • Came here unreasonably because of "links" from Kraftwerk. Great!

  • ThomasThomasThoma LOVEVA

  • Thats what The Clash would have been like if they smoked more weed. Love Neu!

  • more anarchic than studio albums

  • I would really like to see more of this one... Still, very cool.

  • I wanna see the whole clip.

  • Very strange, but I like it...

  • neu! es realmente muy bueno

  • Michael Rother Rocks, I mean the guy done Kraftwerk, Neu, Harmonia, cluster, all the electronic rock stuff and it all started in Hamburg, Germany, where in the 60s the Beatles, Pink Floyd did clubs there. There was incredible History in those days !!!

  • some cool MFs there

  • go to listen iron gayden...

  • ..you're just another hero riding through the night, riding through the city, trying to lose your mind. and your Honey went to Norway.

    and your only friend's misusing, I tell you hide away.

    You wanna live, you wanna die, You wanna love, you wanna fly, You wanna love, wanna fly,

    Hero.

  • 3 chords, 1 note - Krautpop!!

  • Amazing footage. This is one of Bowie's favorite songs too.

  • they are something new ?

    are you serious ?

    maybe for you.

  • These guys are actually quite good.

  • buy the first 3 NEU! albums, buy the first 3 La Dusseldorf albums, buy the first 2 Harmonia albums and buy the first 4 Michael Rother albums. As soon as you can.

  • I did and they are all great,now go and buy the Fuck Buttons first cd.

    Krautrock English style 30 years later.

  • fuck buttons is one of the worst bands of all time. totally destroying the purity of music. GARBAGE. this is great footage though! the truth!

  • Who gives a flying fuck about the purity of music.Fuck buttons are doing something new and throw the purity of music rule book out of the window.

  • and in fact do it in that order.

  • aguante neu!!!

  • Thomas Dinger

  • What about him, isn't Klaus the one at the front?

  • fantastic footage - how many U2 songs did that inspire?

    apparently the reason why Bowie's "Heroes" is always in quotes is because of this track.

  • @ajwatson ]

    This is just too C©©L...Ahead of their time !!!

  • Fan-bloody-tastic. Thanks!

  • - - - - - f a n t a s t i c i - - - - -

  • WOW. I didnt know there was any footage. you are awesome for adding this. youtube is awesome for existing. Thank you logonazo!!!!!

  • Great

  • Comment removed

  • Count yourself fucking lucky. I wasn't born anywhere near Germany. Had to move to Belgium relatively late in life just to be a bit closer.

  • @jkoff76 Just Enjoy!

  • the bee's bollocks

    cheered me right up

  • So good!!!

  • i wish there more neu! clips. this one is so great.

  • The germans make me feal really good about going bald.

  • what kind of guitar does he have.

  • in this video, founding member klaus dinger is playing the guitar and singing, i believe he usually plays drums on the recording. Michael Rother, who is usually lead guitar, is on the keyboard by the bubble machine. thomas dinger on drums and hans lampe is in there too. now i get it. look at that attitude!!

  • Rother is actually playing lead behind the bubble machine / reel-to-reel. Dinger is play rhthym guitar. Shittily at that.

  • wrong...i play guitar and i know what a chord is...Rother played lead guitar for sure...what's wrong in that??? it's always hapened that people when someone dies...i mean always creating a legend on things because Klaus Dinger is sadly dead...It happened with the Beatles( you konw....lennon was the hard stufff and Mccartney was only in the ballads or melodic ...it's stupid to think that....the world and the people are not just only black or white....we are much more complex than that!

  • I love Klaus Dinger and believe that he created some excellent music. I play, too. For years. This does not change the fact that Dinger's a shitty guitar player.

  • that's what i was trying to explain...is my inglish so bad???

  • yup....

  • : (

  • @tupG Well uor a right cunt logonazo  your beautiful!!!!

  • @logonazo

    yes.

  • @logonazo what do you mean by I and We? were you part of Neu?

  • Comment removed

  • he even wanted their producer Conny Plank

  • no not parallels this came out way before Heroes. Low came out in 1977. clearly he was into neu and kraftwerk and went to Germany to record. duh

  • Some voices are telling that this song was forerunner to Bowie's "Heroes" ... i didn't believe yet cuz Heroes is one of these favorite works ever enjoyed in my life ... but -sigh- there are paralleles .. .. .. .. ;)

  • "Neu! was a German band formed by Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother after their split from Kraftwerk in the early 1970s. Though the band had minimal commercial success during its existence, Neu! is retrospectively considered one of the formative Krautrock bands and a significant influence on artists including PIL, Joy Division, Brian Eno, David Bowie, Stereolab, Gary Numan, Ultravox, Simple Minds, and much of the current electronic music scene.The band always wrote their name NEU! in block caps"

  • 1) Rother face is hilarious in this

    2) its a damn shame there arent ANY more live clips of Neu!. I guess they werent a live kinda band :(

    3) Does ANYONE know where I could find the live album of ChaCha2000 by "La! Neu?" ?????

    I HAVE NO IDEA ?!?!

  • Try forced exposure.

  • so, i can see dinger on the drums, and rother in the back doing secret guitar stuff, but who is this lead guy? anyway, this is really awesome. the visual attitude only adds to how awesome the music is. much respect to NEU!

  • The lead guy is Klaus Dinger, Thomas Dinger is his brother who's playing drums on this track.

  • is that kraut rock ? what charechterize this sort of music?

  • things germans are famous for .

    consequently monoton minimalism in the sexiest way possible . krautrock deals with space and time , cosmic concepts and shit . in krautrock you will hear quirky guitars , whacky synth-stuff , weird vocalists and exquisit percussion .

    anything your mind and body needs .

  • Rother did look like he was having a big secret back there, didn't he? BTW, is that the same loop revox system that Fripp and Eno were using about the same time?

  • Lead guy is Dinger, drummers are his brother Thomas and Hans Lampe

  • neu rule.

  • as for awesome well everything seems to be awesome to you sherman tanks..if you like ambient wank off music Rother solo is ok but he has never recaptured the edgy brutality of Neu which Dinger was so much a part of

  • what guitar is he playing .i want tone.i bought the bubble machine already

  • It's a Hagström, i don't know what it's called but.

  • Hagström. Made in Sweden or Germany, Frank Zappa had a 12 string. Be prepared to pay a lot of money.

  • nothing wrong with kylie minogue

  • klaus dinger cant write any song these days,he died earlier this year.

  • sounds like a good excuse!

  • Yes, I would pay serious money for records of NEU live shows.

  • Yes!!! A dream come true to see this. I would LOVE to see the whole thing if anyone has a copy to put up.

  • Nope, it didn't already taste punky. It was Punk - meanwhile back in sleepy London town John Lydon was listening to Godknowswhat.

    Goes to show who was the master and who was the student.

  • it was not just punk, more than that.

  • yea mate back in sleepy london town john lydon was funnily enough actually listening to this and Can and the like

  • Neu is RIGHT FUCKING THERE with The Ramones and the MC5 in staking themselves as the birthers of punk.

    This shit is 1974...and it already tastes REAL punky.

  • shut up

  • Suck my did pierre you faggot.

    I hope your children get terminal cancer and I get raped by hyenas when they're dying.

  • LMAO!

  • This is the first time I have ever seen the people behind Neu. This is also the only video of them I can find.

    That is very, very sad.

  • What do you mean: it's "very, very sad" as to the scarcity of Neu! videos, or "very, very sad" as to what the "people behind Neu" look like? Or both? ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!

  • Jawohl, die Dinger Brüder wussten schon damals, wo der Frosch die Locken hatten. Sieht und hört sich eher nach La Düsseldorf an...

  • ...what a fucking trippy sound, man, it must be the real thing, awesome!

  • Brilliant

  • This is fuckin great...Klaus was the true genius/maverick behind Neu...any more of this?

  • Not at the moment, but maybe someday; apparently, the whole concert was filmed by a German TV station, and they're supposed to have the whole thing in their archives. This is the only segment that has been broadcast, but the rest, if it still exists, may turn up one of these days.

    -Do you hear any edits here? Like at 1:13? Hmm, that's strange.

  • I'm sorry but Michael Rother is awesome too. And why say maverick? You votin for John McCain or something?

  • oh dear I smell a septic tank with the usual national traits of stupidity, smallmindedness and lack of sense of humour, over here in good old Blighty maverick is defined as "someone who exhibits great independence in thought and action" and not some unbranded macdonalds cow like over there..

  • Klaus!!!! We need you more than ever

  • yws R.I.P. Klaus

  • yes! the alchemist energy! i also see them for the first time. thx for the post.

  • FANTASTIC!!!!!first time I see them live what a treat!!!!!!thanks man

  • schoen

  • Yay bubbles!!

  • Klaus will never be forgotten....RIP

  • i need bujes

  • RIP Klaus.

  • Wow. I didn't know this existed! Look at Klaus - what a rocker!!

    Well, rock on Dinger! R.I.P.!!!

  • Far out man! I've been listing to NEU! for years but that's the first time I've ever seen the band. Crazy!

    I also just found out from the comments that Klaus has died .. RIP .. the Apache Motorik will live on in the motorway of the mind forever...

  • one of the most influential musicians in the lande of prog. as a drummer, klaus (along w/jaki from can)gave krautrock its signature hypnotic beat; as a vocalist & instrumentalist he saw punk & postpunk on the horizon & went ahead & defined it. plus he looks pretty freakin cool on the inside of NEU!75. shit, im gonna go crank that one up now. thanx for all the great music, klaus.(anyone have more footage?)

  • Man, I'm emotionally distraught from this recent news. What a loss.

    R.I.P. Klaus.  May your beat live on for the ages!

  • Very sad news indeed. Hans Joachim Roedelius posted it in a bulletin on MySpace ... well, go and listen to "Cha Cha 2000" and try to make it reality ! RIP Klaus.

  • Just heard of Klaus Dingers death. A real shame, a truly great drummer.

  • RIP

  • R.I.P. Klaus Dinger died today ...

  • actually he died 21 march :p

  • I think the ":p" is a little uncalled for here...?

  • Holy Shit. This song is good.

    Bobcat, Wow!

  • Any footage of Neu is great to see. But what is being heard is not what is being played. He is strumming a barre chord and yet you here him noodling around and stuff. Weird. But cool to see! Where else ya gonna see it?

  • i disagree with you, although there are several seconds where the sound doesn't fit with the images,the main guitar riff came from Michael Rother, not dinger, klaus plays only chords...rother (i think) with his dehgitarre, thomas and hans both on drums...

  • Great! Neu is fantastic!

  • And you thought the Stooges came up with it all.

  • Bubble-machine = Krautrock

  • Incredible! Pity the clip isn't longer..

  • Comment removed

  • je suis sur le cul!!! c'est démentiel! respect total et vive le rock choucroute!

  • jamás imaginé ver un video de Neu! en you tube!!

    ke buena onda ke lo subiste!

    Viva el Krautrock!

  • well...on a world tour perhapse?

  • but they did it(music), and you never did it... that's the diference...THE BIG DIFFERENCE

  • Fantastic! Never thought I'd see this.

  • This was a big influence on Post-Punk music from what I heard. I can see why (in a good way).

  • this is krautrock

  • This song was a big influence on punk too. There's not a lot of vocals on this version, but check the "NEU 75" album, once you hear Klaus Dinger sing "Hero", you know Johnny Rotten and Mark E. Smith have listened to this song a lot.

  • haba haba :))

  • KURVA!

  • It band sounds like King Crimson, Grateful Dead, and Velvet Underground all mixed together.
