I saw them in 1981 at the Warner Theatre in D.C. That show's not listed here. It waws stunning. The curtain opened to reveal 8 shadowed men standing behind 8 banks of computers and keyboards. A beat drops and 16 arms just go up and down, up and down. robot-like. Then as the music builds, 8 of those arms become more human in their movements and the lights turn up. Each member had a "robot" likeness next to him. Nice.
Kraftwerk has had 442 concerts.
