Thats a shame, they are a great live act (for a bunch of guys that stand
still before their terminals for the whole performance), I saw them
about 5 years ago, it was amazing to hear their songs on a killer sound
system, they had beefed up the bass end of there tunes considerably. One
of those I can now die content kind of moments.

In autumn 1990 or 91 I was in Prague Czechoslovakia, a random visit as
someone had given me a few days left on a rail pass and I was in
Switzerland. I saw posters in Czech for 'Kraftwerk' in the city, so wrote it
down and on the day headed out with 6 hours to spare. Ended up at the wrong
place, finally got to this 60's modernist cultural center next to a big
river directly off the train, no roads, the station was at the edge of this
complex and I could hear the music, appregiators but can't remember the
song, I think it was the model...it had just started, and there was no one
anywhere, deserted, but with krafwerk echoing through all these concrete
passages and tunnels and chambers. I eventually found the ticket booth and
presented my money and the women there told that I had to have bought a
ticket somewhere else in the city and could only present it at that booth,
or something like that, like it had started and it was seated, I couldn't
work it out...so absolutely no entry...so I listened to a few songs through
this closed auditorium door, as it got dark in this monolithic concrete
civic centre, it was weird...like no audience noise, no rubbish, no
drinks...and then I got fed up and left feeling weird enough as it
was...never forget it though...just so wish I'd run in that door man.

there does seem to be some kind of Kraftwerk Kurse for some people
In 2004, I had a ticket to see them at Coachella, and a plane
ticket to San Francisco to go see them at The Warfield.
A week or so before Coachella, I came down with adult Chicken Pox
and had to miss both shows.
