First of all I'm new to this list. Been here for a week or so. Greg made me aware of it and I finally decided to join in. I've been on the Skinny Puppy Epilogue mailing list for 4.5 years. Now promoted to co-admin with Brad Bell(xxxxxxxx@x.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx) You here? :) I'll be seeing Kraftwerk perform at this years Roskilde Festival (www.roskilde-festival.dk) on the green stage. It holds app. 18.000 inside a huge tent and it really is a fantastic stage. I've seen bands like Cranes, Cockteau Twins, Ministry, Nick Cave perform there and it's always a treat. ok, back to the subject. I saw Kraftwerk perform 7 years ago here in Denmark in a small theatre that held 1200 ppl and it's among my top 3 concerts _ever_. I'll never forget when they played Tour De France and the 4 video screens in the back of each keyboard console displayed old B/W footage from Tour De France. I cried. The show starts at 9.30 pm and is expected to go on for 3 hours. I have an ex-gf who works as producer assistant backstage and she's informed me that noone else wil perform after Kraftwerk that night. Usually they don't stop until 3 or 4 am but Kling-Klang takes too long to dissemble. I will record the show to MiniDisc with a stereo mic. Not a soundboard aouttake, just as a mortal amongst the crowd. Let's see how it turns out. -Rene ICQ UIN 2193840 A Staff Member of Last Sigh Magazine For Underground Music http://www.waste.org/lastsigh
