The Original Man-Machine

So last night, I was one of the privileged who saw Kraftwerk's sold out performance in New York City. I believe Kraftwerk is a band of Radiohead status on many levels, but specifically touring, where in they don't alter the setlists too much, but after each show you are blown away. This was my first Kraftwerk show and it was everything I wanted it to be, except that they didn't play Sex Object. I think the setlist looked something like this:

Intro
The Man Machine
Expo 2000
Tour de France e-tapes 1 + 2
Vitamin
Tour de France
Autobahn
The Model
Neon Lights
Steallafeild/Radioactivity

Trans Europe Express
Numbers
Computer World
It's more fun to compute
Pocket Calculator

The Robots

Elektro Kardiogramm
Boing Boom Tschak
Aero Dynamik/Musique Non Stop

The amazing part of the live show is the visuals that accompany each song. Here are pictures and video clips as well. Highlights included the Man Machine opener, seeing the robots dance for The Robots, and hearing Boin Boom Tschak! If you haven't been to Kraftwerk's website,recommendend you do that now and play with the games.
