I especially recommend everyone hearing the last track, Mitternacht, which features a beautiful improvisation which sometimes sounds like Showroom Dummies, then reminds of Radioactivity, Kristallo, and The Model. Like they say - the songs grow out from each other!
Enjoy!

I saw this tour in Birmingham, AL in 1975 with the Atlanta Rhythm Section opening the show. There were about 2200 there when ARS were on. I had come to see Kraftwerk b/c the late-night FM station played this often. I was excited that so many people were going to discover this new kind of band. I was 14. When ARS left the stage, all but about 400 stayed. I walked right to the front of the stage. I am a fan for life.

Whoever did the sound on this should be given a medal

I saw them in London in 1991, during The Robots, whilst all the Robots were on stage, I was surveying the crowd, I like to look behind me and see the faces, I was just right of the stage near the front, and a guy looked at me and pointed just beyond me. And standing there watching his Robot was Florian! He looked at me smiled a little conspiratorial smile, put his finger to his lips “sshh” and then disappeared back into the crowd. Hardly anyone around us noticed. It’s a truly treasured memory.
-
It is worth mentioning that until 1975 the world was infested with rock n’ roll manifestations and so these sounds combinations were extremely innovative.
-
Its a shame that their pre 1974 recordings don't get played live today. Imagine Ruckzuck played live in 2020,how amazing that would be! The final track hints at tracks past and future. Radioactivity and showroom dummies and more.
-
This version of Mitternacht is absolutely beautiful.
-
I was in that audience. About 6 rows from the stage.
-
best live kraftwerk show on you tube
-
Kraftwerk will always calm my heart, wherever whenever
-
I'm just pleased that this exists. :)
-
This was the first gig I ever went to! I was 13 at the time.
-
I only recently learned of Florian's passing, thank you for your influence.. it will live on. With Peace

Had to be pretty mind blowing to hear this in 1975!
-
Magic! Thanks so much!!! Captures that moment between their early sublime experimental rock material and watershed programmed dance pop in a sunset/sunrise organic way perfectly. Arguably the best live album never made. Gentle yet overwhelming. Raw yet enchantingly human.
-
Wow!!! at 01:12:00 you can hear the genesis of 'Showroom Dummies' !! Such a thrill for a die hard fan like me.. I think this is the closest I'll get to hear them experimenting in their Kling Klang studio during their golden era!! Many thanks for uploading this
-
Great to see Ruckzuck was still on the playlist in 75.
-
WOW! The beginnings! Incredible musical songwriters!
-
This is such a more experimental KWerk than now. I like the redone version of Die Söhne, Der Mond, Die Sterne on Katalogue but the one here is so much more natural feeling. The played Bartos rhythms are a treat all over this performance. Can not get enough of Kometen Melodie.
-
Wolfgang Flür´s electronic drums are excellent!
-
SIMPLE THE BEST ELECTRONIC MUSIC OF THE CENTURY!
