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.

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

When will you be there then?

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.

I nearly made the same mistake, Al.

Norby: Pubs open at 11am in England.

Hope this helps.

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!!

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.

Norbert, you were the highlight of the gig.

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

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.
