Kraftwerk - Tour de france 1983 Alternative video

[alexnordh]

Sometimes the Queen of Saba goes to the toilet. And sometimes a Kraftwerk member smiles.

[jakesteven1980]

Does VH1 Classic still runs this video today?

[sumaran72]

@jakesteven1980 no ,i wish

[apacheangel007]

WONDERFUL!

[manmachine80]

It was the first song from Kraftwerk that I heard when I was a child and I liked it, but I didn't know who was the artist. A few years later I realized that the Kraftwerk was :-) This is an amazing track and my favourite song (and video) from Kraftwerk! It brings up great memories...

[MrEvanbooker]

Bicycle=The Ultimate Man-Machine

[nuionline1]

florian smiling and waving. unprecedented.

[JES1068]

There was also a project called 10 Speed that did a version of Tour De France -- that was the version featured in the movie Breakin... cool track!!!!!

[JES1068]

Ya darn right it's rare... even the mix is rare! AWESOME POST !!!!!!!!!

[theonlymarkie]

Rare indeed! Thanks for posting!

[RealizedRealization]

Does anyone have a clue what the make and model of the bicycles are?

[whitekuduone]

Team Kraftwerk.

[HeavyMetalMike666]

i really never knew who they were intill maybe a few months ago. Also, I watched the movie "Breakin' " when i was real young and never even knew this was Kraftwerk!! :D

[MoonBarrett]

I got an insane amount of pleasure watching that video! hahaha

[Marvamac]

Kraftwerk addict!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! The pioneers of music!!!!!

[peaou]

damn good...

[TheOscarBonilla]

Esta es la mejor , la original, coño que es la que yo escuche cuando tenia 12 añitos

[ffm20zaheri]

awesome track,,, it charted in the uk charts three times

1983 , 1985 and 2003

they look so scary

[mrbean022387]

BADASS!!!

[CR3ATIV3XXX3L3M3NT]

Quality Tune - Can't believe it's 28 years old... Stood the test of time for me

[sas147741]

2:06 lol Florian!

[bAzTNM]

Absolutely brilliant video.

[1986abc]

"Radlroboter" :-)

[leedumett444]

TIMELESS CLASSIC,SIMPLY OUTSTANDING.

[robynsegg]

Another thing that I love about them in their pictures... they have the most handsome profiles I've ever seen.

[robynsegg]

I remember back in the day in my hometown when NO ONE was playing them... EXCEPT on Black Radio. Back in the day Kraftwerk was ONLY found on WDAS, POWER 99.FM. The only 2 urban station in the city. For the longest time my friends & I thought they were black... until we picked up the Computer World album cover & was greatly proven wrong. Once we found out that they were white & FROM GERMANY of all places... they became even COOLER!

[robynsegg]

@robynsegg: I've always wanted to learn how to speak German because of Kraftwerk.

[CK2890]

somethin about this video is really really really funny

[Astbruchgefahr]

Das Erste plays Kraftwerk?! I wish our main TV channel played...well, anything!

[elite1980s]

Amazing video, I've been a big Kraftwerk fan since early 80's. All 4 look like clones with each one wearing the same suits, helmets and riding similar bikes. I like to see smooth surface roads shown here in the town I live at, I can assure you as a bike rider, with a racer & wheels less than an inch thick, you hit any pot hole, no matter how deep, is like hitting your wheels with a sledge hammer. I've had no end of "pinch punchers" as a result. UK roads get worse every day, it sucks big time!!

[CThompson151]

I use this song in the gym its brill!!

[fryskhanne]

this song is so good it makes me wanna ride my road bike:D It gives me energy to go just that bit faster than the rest!

[fryskhanne]

can't get enough of this song!! makes me wanne ride my race bike again..

[AllocRaster]

@2.04 - 2.05: Florian smiles and waves. 

[zx6rtt]

makes me want to dance....

...with a broom

o_O

[machiner6]

so this is how they appeared on that old logo. Kraftwerk actually rode bikes in their youth!

[DardanellesBy108]

Cool! Been a big Kraftwerk fan since '79 and have never seen this video. I enjoyed it, thanks for posting it.

[tommyriantoro]

thank you for upload . great job.

[bobbygnosis]

The shape of those bars are closer to track drops than modern road drops. I'm so jealous. Those things are super expensive now. Word to electro and cycling.

[modgemtb]

@bobbygnosis i agree but at a shop in my town i got a whole vintage road bike with track drops for £90 just scout around 2nd hand shops and the internet to find good deals like i did

[CThompson151]

they all look so young :) thanks for the vid

[eastwestlover]

TURBO OWNED THIS JAM

[AEKAskenburne]

2:09 Ich flipp' aus: DAS ALTE RHEINSTADION!!!

Kraftwerker, ich liebe Euch!

[ireneshusband]

To be honest, I was disappointed when I first saw the Tour de France video you normally see. It seems a bit wishy-washy and poorly structured. This one is much much better.

[SirHatchporch]

This version is definitely tough to find. Thank you for uploading.

[LordNerevarIndoril]

Wow, I've seen this only once and now I'm seeing it again 20 plus years later. I used to skip school and breakdance to this music with the rest of my friends hahaha...thanks for the memories.

[robyg70]

This IS! the video for this song. just cut a bit short:)

[speier]

sweet they've got campy grouppo on those bikes

[DjElektus]

Kind of rare???? I'm an INSANE Kraftwerk junkie, and I've never seen this!

[Marvamac]

Me too:)!!!!



[lxolxo7]

@DjElektus WOW!!! Amazing! This is something special here indeed! I'm with JES1068 on this, that along with this video, ( which this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of it???) even this version/remix on wax or CD (and there seem to be a gazillion versions of this CLASSIC floating around, lol) is indeed hard to find. At least it was for me back in the day. Much props and many thanks for posting!!! PEEESE!

[neocoders]

Popular body popping and breaking track when I was a teen

[TheMonolith75]

Ha Ha!! This was my perfect"breakdancing"song!!...­Also,this takes me back to my childhood,back in '83'.My friends and I used to ride our 10-speed bikes to this,all around Thomasville,North Carolina...I miss those days...

[ireneshusband]

What a fantastic image!

[ianbortz]

LOL look at this intro :o

Awsome!!!

[LukeHarrison]

This is the version that's loaded on the video jukebox at my local pub :)

[superleeds73]

brilliant mate

[Zjwaamseliedjes]

klasse Video,5*

[typicalaussiebloke]

Superb electronic dance music!!!

[saanzacs]

TOUR DE FRANCE - TOUR DE FRANCE

[LeshKimoto]

Meiner Meinung nach???

Das ist immernoch der beste Kraftwerk Beat aller Zeiten...

Das ist noch richtiger Originaler Elektro - Techno nicht sowas wie in den heutigen Diskos läuft....

[ireneshusband]

Nein! :P Der beste ist Taschenrechner!

[brajtnerinjo]

Homoerotism at its best

[patlaws]

did a member of kraftwerk smile in that video?!

[Corms121]

@patlaws 1:35 and 2:06 the only other time i have seen any one smile in Kraftwerk is in the video of Autobahn on top of the pops.

[robynsegg]

@patlaws: Rarely in ANY video... if they ever appeared @ all.

[evad520]

@patlaws yep, that would be Florian, he's actually a really funny guy. :)

[97shortdude]

@patlaws 2:05

[Luger911]

@patlaws And the reaction? "They saw me, smilling, better go down" asuhaush

[unkochin]

Is this "Mojimoji-kun"?

lol

[HarryUpHarry]

Oh, Tour de Maureen

[TheGodParticle]

I used to do an egg flip to this combined with my robotic moves. wearing white gloves and a white construction helmet. it looked crazy but it was 1983 at school. they all loved it!!!

[ramoneskickass]

i love breakdancing to this song!

takes me back

[Gukuthegreat]

Good Song!!!

[TechnoEstate]

Yes, as 1986abc pointed out, this video also uses a slightly remixed version of the track (Kevorkian Mix or something?) -- which, personally, I prefer.

[shadowspork]

If only this would have been on the "Techno Pop" album before Ralf's freak accident. Then Wolfgang and Karl wouldn't have left after Electric Cafe. :(

[nathanbe]

Awesome stuff, been wanting to see this version for ages.

[ramoneskickass]

i have this on vynil!!!!!!!!!!

[jman5one5piece]

ME TOO!!!

Wait, is it the single or '03 soundtracks?

[ooooohpancakes]

AHH! I've been looking for this! thanks!

[ramoneskickass]

haha, me too!

[ingrid14br]

Uau!! Thanks 4 the video...I like the boys practing ciclysm...it´s fun and original...:)

Sorry, but my English is poor..:(

[1986abc]

This is the video of the Remix. Thank you!

[Tabascofanatikerin]

Thanks for uploading this video clip :)

I think it's better than the better known version because in this video the KW members are involved.

I remember a part in Wolfang Flür's book where he talks about the hobby especially of Ralf Hütter and that it was his idea to ride bicycles and produce "Tour the France". And Flür said that he actually never liked riding bicycles. I understand him, I don't like it much either. ;)
