I have had the privilege of seeing Kraftwerk live three times - easily some of the best concerts, I have attended. Even if there is not much left of the original axe, I can still recommend the experience. They have a reputation for perfection, and that is most certainly reflected in their live performance.

I also had the good fortune of attending Balanescu Quartet in concert during their Kraftwerk era. The only time, I’ve ever attempted (and succeeded!) to get backstage to meet the band.

Which gives an excuse for the amazing original video (English):

Insanely influential and ahead of their time.
