[fadedge]

The highest quality, how called this gig?

[joselourenco]

OMG
RALF'S VOICE IN THE HALL OF MIRRORS IS FREAKIN SENSATIONAL

[voltnik-music]

Best music I have ever heard in my entire life.

IF ONLY I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE.

[thomasworden]

Very advanced band. This version of “It’s More Fun to Compute” is a gargantuan masterpiece.

[JupyterMercuryo]

I consider myself lucky because the first time I ever listend to Kraftwerk was on a live concert. I must have been like 13 or 14 years old and I had gone to Mexico City with my dad because Radiohead was playing a show there, and I had a little money saved so I decided to go too. Kraftwerk opened the show, and I remember being fascinated by the robots on stage, those four strange figures in front of their instruments, and everything around me soaked in a vibrant red light. Years later I developed a fascination with science, with the outer space, with scifi, and I would listen to The Robots nonstop, just absorbing that music of the future, imagining a neon-lit future of space intrigue. I have now departed from those interests, but my love for Kraftwerk remains. I'm currently one year away from finishing my degree in architecture, and on those sleepless night of thinking of forms, functions, of steel and concrete, I turn to Kraftwerk for inspiration. Their music have been with me for a long time, and my enjoyment hasn't dwindled in the slightest. Thank you Kraftwerk, thank you, Florian.

incredible gig! their best setlist, Ralf singing like Nick Cave on "Hall Of Mirrors"…. this concert is absolute genius. wow!

[radimak]

The biggest music inspiration - really amazing how uniquely they perform they songs all the time

[carlamattei]

I love it when Ralf Cat's-Eye makes a bit of a naughty voice, see the song "Hall of Mirrors"!
And I cried a lot on the day Florian died, by the way, I still cry today!

God DAMN!!! How does this exist? I'd heard the studio album for the first time while getting my haircut for free at Vidal Sassoon's place, as a head for visiting Japanese students to cut. The stereo separation is extreme, and the speakers were set up at the opposite ends of the long, narrow gallery of chairs, so you got WEENK WONK, from the left and GLOOOORNK from the far right. Skinny, tall punk rock boy from Philly riding a rickety pre war Rudge and working less than legally at Heaven Ultradisco as security and Cha Cha as doorman, I went to the Palais to find work and saw endless short, stocky middle aged working class Londoners all dolled up swirling like crazy folk doing ballroom dancing there. I'd never seen such a thing and as they were all only up to my shoulder at most and there were so goddam many of them and they were all SO into it, it was like being in some really koo koo Ken Russell film, then snuck into the Odeon to see Dogs Of War with Christopher Walken (don't pay to see it). Went back to the Palais soon after to see The Selector and Pauline stopped the show til everybody threw out the National Front skins who were throwing the nazi salute, then shortly thereafter back to Hammersmith to the Odeon to see THIS very show. KRAFTWERK!!! Me and my beloved scored two pairs of tix to see them at the the New York Moma just a few years back. Boasting shamelessly here, because those tickets were IMPOSSIBLE to buy, and the ticket computer actually glitched in our favor for the first and ONLY time that will ever happen. Took my kid brother and his wife. Unabashed fan ecstasy all round!

Kraftwerk anticipated the future... 🎶ComputerWorld🤖

[larryrodriquez]

My sister Arlene and I will be dancing to Computer Love for all of eternity. She would of been 56 today!

[Arkkienhsu]

This version of The Hall Of Mirrors is godlike. So astonishing.

[budspencerjr]

It is my personal tradition... every time when i face with heavy issues and get depressed and fucked up, and other music just fucks me more down, i come back to the SOURCE... I was betrayed by almost all people i knew, by the amazing minimal sounds of the KW never... is always there for me, ready to start my soul healing.

[eitanbeckenstein]

I did see Kraftwerk live show at the Ritz NYC Aug 1981.
This was one of the Top live music concert from my experience.
Kraftwerk are the Digital Sound Evangelist.

[thasinister]

The Hall of Mirrors here is incredible!

[Tigershark_]

I genuinely like the slightly sped up versions, like what they're doing here. Especially Metropolis, The Robots, and Metal On Metal.

[Quants]

You're a saint for uploading this. This sounds like something the band themselves could have released as a live album. And this recording is even more precious following the death of Florian.

[Ogaitnas]

These versions are great, looser, with a lot of personality, even in Ralphs singing, you can tell they were having fun in the 80s. Thanks for the upload!

[hariputter]

Ralf’s blues style singing in The Hall of Mirrors is awesome and somewhat funny as well because we are used to his usual “sprech singing” 🙂👌🏾It’s such a masterpiece, this live version.
