Yeah, I know.

I just hope you get wet going there, that's all.

25 Jun 2009, 07:00

Yeah, will be there - any recommendations for a late night venue in town afterwards?

****Just read the interview and seen this:

"First, they have a brand-new live presentation, including a 3D segment (for which you'll need the obligatory glasses), about to receive its British premiere at the Manchester International festival."

:clap:

Believe the hardcore are meeting early doors in the Brunswick...

29 Jun 2009, 16:58

Anyone got a spare ticket? Plus do you think it's wise me turning up round Clayton in a RED shirt? :uhoh:

29 Jun 2009, 23:46

Have you done the obvious and checked Ebay/Scarlet Mist?

If not, you'll get one from a tout as a last resort...

I'm trying to work out if that's a flippant quip there, Nobby!

Could you please append such emails with a :evil4: in future, just to confirm whether you're extracting the michael, or simply making an innocent remark. Thanks in advance for your help.

Norby: Pubs open at 11am in England.

Norbs, I'll be out for 2pm (you have my number). Pompey shouldn't be long after.

Plastic KW fans convention.

30 Jun 2009, 10:31

:laugh:

I asked my Dad to buy me the 7" single of 'The Model' in the early 80's. I think it's still in his loft.

Loved Tour De France from 'Breakdance'.

If I went abroad to watch them, I wouldn't skip a gig :nono:

30 Jun 2009, 13:37

So which members of my fan club are coming along for this one then?

30 Jun 2009, 14:00

Oh dear, am I going to be the only sober one?! Boo :(

30 Jun 2009, 14:36

I'd love to see them...Can't beat Pocket Calculator....

30 Jun 2009, 14:41

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Gonna watch MINIMUM MAXIMUM to celebrate!

1 Jul 2009, 00:12

Excellent! My colleague was selling them for £90 each.

1 Jul 2009, 13:14

They better do this!!!

2 Jul 2009, 00:30

according to nobby/ big clive the robots will be cycling round the track

2 Jul 2009, 00:56

I'm being hardcore and heading out in an hour.

Sorry, but it's hard to believe the robots would cycle round the track for one gig. I think, the only difference to the last festival gigs is 3D again.

Fine, thx. I didn't think about it. I translated "early doors" with "early in the day" or so.

My question was only a simple question. Why should I use :evil4: in the future, Al?

I am in John and Christine's house now. I will have lunch in the queens arms and then go to the brunswick.

yes. where were they all on Kraftwerk's 1991 summer UK tour? In those olden days the band brought their whole studio on tour with them. Steam powered it were! None of this cheapskate economy noncy laptop nonsense.

Anyway, i await the inevitable pics of everybody in their 3D glasses. Although cycle helmets and Lycra would have been better

KRAFTWERK ROCK!!!!!!

There I've said it! Big hello to Norbert,good meeting ya mate;Alex,Liam,Gaz Edwards. I never got to see Jemmie,Leggy,Greg,Jert and Mr INOIL,but a big shout out to you anyway.

Just an amazing gig.Ok it was more or less the same setlist as the MINIMUM MAXIMUM DVD,but you had to be there. TOUR DE FRANCE was accompanied by Sir Steve Redgrave and 9 other Olympic cyclists riding round the track. "The Robots" make another appearance during..err..THE ROBOTS! Followed by the Second Act!

IN 3D!!!

NUMBERS,VITAMIN,COMPUTERWORLD,AERODYNAMIK and MUSIQUE NON STOP with glorious 3D. VITAMIN was accompanied by some floating pills which I tried desperately to try and catch in mid-air.

Oh and did I mention THE BASS. Fook me it was loud,the way it was meant to be. Kraftwerk are still tops. Found out tonight that MUTE are re-releasing their back catalogue remastered in September.

Photos to follow!!

2 Jul 2009, 16:59

I see we all enjoyed the show then!

2 Jul 2009, 17:08

Oh how could I forget Alex! And Norbert's big inflatable hands pointing down at Alex and his ...err...equipment.

Someone beat me to it to YOUTUBE so here goes..

3 Jul 2009, 00:51

Too much slap bass for me I'm afraid :nono:

3 Jul 2009, 02:00

It was great to see you all again. The gig was my 6th and the best I have seen this year. Even Ralf spoke a little bit to the audience and tbe band members smiled sometimes.

3 Jul 2009, 02:04

Norbert, you were the highlight of the gig.

3 Jul 2009, 04:36

got there at 7.30 and was amazed to see a fookin cornish pasty concession in the venue was still pondering this when steve reich started up, seat in block m row r proved to be stifling though with good siteline.

went for a walk and was newly curious as to whether the beer queue from red block had now looped into the one from blue block.

and on a balmy night people were standing in line for a pasty...... maybe it's me but I still dont get it.

noticed fat bob from fast show, asian lass from bbc north news, a fat pete wylie and the ubiquitous john robb and some more folk in line.

on way back to seats noticed the press section was a little empty and after some slight of hand with a walkden library card and not a little haughtiness from mrs GaryMac secured some great seats

I then had me socks blown off, loved the bass, the 3D, the robots and the bike folk.

BRILLIANT GIG

left with souvenir glasses x 8

and still they lined up for pasties perhaps the secret of team GB was based on an old cornish recipe

adieu

Nice one Gaz!

Here's some piccies. Shame my camera died on me before I could capture some NOOLERS on.Well at least I got Norbert (only without his inflatable Hands!!!)

4 Jul 2009, 01:47

Monty were you wearing TWO T-shirts on the hottest day of the year???

4 Jul 2009, 12:15

The yellow one was my retro DM Master & Servant,but I couldn't be arsed carrying around my new AUTOBAHN shirt.Enjoy watching Madge the Child Catcher!! xx

4 Jul 2009, 17:26

Modern Talking and The Twins were far better cos they have actual songs. KW just plod on an on for hours.

But Giorgio Moroder deserves more credit.

This is a moment after I jumped for you to take the picture with the inflatable hands. When I jumped my mobilephone fell out of my shirt and laid in three parts on the floor. But I even found the stylus.

The inflatable hands remained in Manchester and will point out the bootlegger the next gigs, too. I gave them to a rude boy with Kung Fu-Skills, because bootleggers seem to be very aggressive these days.
