My 4th time seeing my all-time favorite band ever, Kraftwerk. I had seen them in Chicago in 1998 and 2005, and at The Myth nightclub in a Minneapolis suburb in 2008. This was the first time witnessing the 3-D show and it was pretty impressive. I traded my co-conspirator in
The Trapezoids a bunch of vinyl for a $90 ticket in the balcony as at the time I was drinking air and eating dirt I was so broke. As fate would have it I just happened to have my Zoom H2 along with me that just happened to have a fresh set of batteries and an empty SD card. Also, conveniently, the seat next to me was empty and I was able to use it to store my jacket that had the recorder in it. Apparently when I set my jacket on the seat it just happened to start recording (COMPLETELY accidentally of course!). Lo and behold a surreptitious recording of the night's festivities. A few days after the show I posted the accidental recording on the earlier version of this blog, but took it down shortly after. However, the person that is in charge of the Technopop 2000 Kraftwerk Archive had grabbed it and added it to their collection.
So here 'tis, via the Technopop 2000 youtube channel, for your entertainment and educational use.
