Kraftwerk!

It's Memorial Day Weekend, and what better way to celebrate our country's brave, fallen heroes…than with some German electropop! As previously reported, Kraftwerk will kick off a brief tour in the U.S. Monday, after which they'll head back to Europe (and picturesque locales like Thessaloniki) for the remainder of the summer.
>>>>Looking forward to tonight's first show! Hope tommorrow night is just as good!

If you feel up to it, afterwards log on so I (and anyone else that's interested) can find out how it was-really crowded or pretty good? Sound?

Great show and they had the robots with them!! The best part was that they played for two hours. It was well worth the $40.

t-shirts were $25
i swear they were $40 in miami last year, but maybe they were only $30.. either way, cheaper last year..
i didn't see any tour books, they had those last year..
shirts.. autobahn, robots and one other i think? they had more last year.
my 3rd time seeing kraftwerk in the past 13 months.. tomorrow will make the 4th.

Three words: the fucking shit.
If you don't have a ticket for tonight and are on the fence about going, just GO. You won't regret it.

Don't want to burst any bubbles, but I am fairly certain the set will be identical…but really, I cannot complain. It was AMAZING.

No Pro Photography, buddy had his camera phone and they were cool with that.
It was a great show. They were running late because of flights in were delayed but that is minor. Another for Be there!

Temperature? You know those Krauts…austere, chilly, very frigid. I had icicles hanging from my nose. But it was worth every damn minute.
What a strange question. It's a sold-out show. It's not chilly, that's for sure.

Geez H, people. Is it too much to answer a simple question without looking like this is an audition for a stand up comedian??
