• Kraftwerk live in Wolfsburg

I’ve already seen Kraftwerk live three years ago at a festival. Their setlist didn’t change much, but they played the songs differently this time. Not like a Jazz combo that does an improvisation. It was more about fine-tuning the samples and experimenting with parameters. The songs were perfectly recognizable and still it was fun to discover all the tiny variations.

For the second half of the show, the security passed out 3D glasses and the visuals advanced into the third dimension. It was an amazing experience.

Kraftwerk managed to surprise and impress me again — even though I thought I knew exactly what to expect.
