At the same day I am happy and sad.. This amazingly important video pups up! Thank you! I have understood Stephan Pfaff is now a replacement for Florian Schneider 2008, first in the USA gigs. Florian is a brilliant operator, master of intelligibility on Vocoders..master of studio perfection. I hope he still works in the Kling Klang studio.
In 1:00, the hippie girl who is in the second row, between the dummy Karl and the dummy Ralf, the blonde who chews gum like a cow chews grass, what the hell is there? It has always surprised me to see the public in the videos of old bands whose members dress in a different way from the rest of the people. One would like to believe that these bands and singers lived in a universe where people dressed, made up and moved like them. In this case, I love Kraftwerk's vesturio, its retrofuturistic aspect, and it is very unpleasant to see its public, it kills my little illusions.
This is from a TV show called NOSTALGIA, which indicates that it's from the post-Soviet era. The characters are fake cyrillic, so this broadcast is most probably not Russian and not from 1980. Does anyone know where and when this later broadcast was?
Jan Sundström this was from Italian RAI television. The program was the Gondola D'Oro festival in 1978 it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mostra_internazionale_di_musica_leggera
No this is not entirely playback !! Some parts are such as the mais synth bass that goes throughout the whole song. But the drums and the lead synth are not playback. The voice though seems oddly similar to the album version.
I always thought the album man machine was meant to mock communism, only because its lyrics are so plain, but then I listened to kraftwerk more, and realized all their lyrics are simple and straight forward
Love the irony of the older generation being the ones that can appreciate synthesized music and computer experimentation while it's the younger generation that's completely brainwashed into listening to "pure" rock or watching American Idol, about as uninnovative as you can get.
Ralf´s pose is classy as fuck
I may copy it as a tribute, Mr. Monkeyman.
ralf is so fab in this its unreal
I love their "anti rockstar" live performances...like this...they are fucking awesome!!!
I don't even dare to put on such full-coloured, thick, red lipstick like them. I salute you, Kraftwerk!
I love their model robots just casually sitting in the audience. Although the group were charged for the seats after there awesome performance.
I like the music but I also like the lipstick shade
I found this song after a fee years of anguish filled search.....My dad had a an old cassette with this song.....
So ahead of time
Mitico questo video dei kraftwerk al lido di venezia. Fantastici 4!
Ralf out here, DOUBLE-CHEEKED UP, on a Thursday afternoon. . .
Ooh Cheeky!
Ralf realy looks like a robot especially when he turns his head =)
They looked very pretty!
yes, they did
Fantastic!!!! never seen this one before!!! Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you!
These guys were the real pioneers of today's trance, hip hop, EDM, techno, and eurodance music.
yep.. far ahead of everybody in their time... still active by the way.
Nel 1978 erano avanti di 40 anni... Unici! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
OUTSTANDING !!!
Thanx for this fantastic up-loading and
sharing !!!

This is amazing. These guys were ahead of their time when they made this.
Fù proprio da questo video che venni colpito da loro ed imparai a conoscerli nel tempo, fattostà che non li lasciai più!
they are impeccable and perf
Does anyone else thing Ralf's robot pose is a bit camp? :P
This is flawless, sheer brilliance.
It's VID - TV Company Russia. Program Vzglyad.

@rmfigue the original line up had a drummer and alongside Ralf & Florian
This song was played at underground disco parties at-45 rpm I have this record but never seen video cool!
yo los espero en stgo también, compadre
masterpiece
You can't say they didn't get with the whole 'robot' theme xD
WE ARE THE ROBOT!!!
those 4 seats for the dummies in the first row must have been quite expensive, just sayin'
Wolfgang has said in an interview that they really were. They paid for the front row seats themselves :D

Vorrei avere una macchina del tempo solo per poterlo vedere sarebbe bellissimo...

beautiful.
kraftwerk = genius.
@rmfigue No. The classic line up, not the original. The line up on their first LP: Hutter, Schneider, Hohmann, Dinger.
WAY ahead !
And who is on the first places of the hall?)))) Mannequins of Kraftwerk members? Cool idea!
the mensch-maschine concept was earlier than the Nomi Work
hey ppl is this playback ???
wonder where electro music would be without these, and hip hop come to think of it
lol! great stuff :-)
Yes, but the voices are real! :-) Kraftwerk is the best band in the world!
No they are not
That has got to be the most energetic performance I have ever seen in my lifetime! SUCK IT SKRILLEX!
Is ingenuity a virtue? Can these guys give a rag a sound thrashing? I liked them when I was a young teen back in 81.
would have liked to have heard the rest of the song but the audience had to be rude and applaud early
Thanks for replying, rmfigue. Which country/network is broadcasting the Nostalgia show? Did you tape it yourself?
This guys were so bizarre I thought they were real robots on stage! Cool! The Fab Four! They were so ahead of their time it not even funny!
1:43 that guy is wearing make up...or??
Check out “fotostat” on u tube they dance to “she’s a model”
I want this to play in my mums room she hate Kraftwerk
You`re 27.. What more to say.......

今さらですが全てカンペキ
oha
Mostruosi, geniali, unici.
I thought the U.S.S.R. had a strict ban on music and art from Western Europe
true.. maybe this was an exception because the album the man-machine was a bit inspired by the russian constructivism
I always thought the album man machine was meant to mock communism, only because its lyrics are so plain, but then I listened to kraftwerk more, and realized all their lyrics are simple and straight forward
There was a list with artists banned as well the reason. Not all western culture was prohibited.
The thing that allways thrills me about kraftwerk is, that they were far, far ahead of their time.

Time and Place I know older comment. but I couldn't agree with you more than you imagine
It's been 7 years. Not so funny now. Rock and Roll music died of starvation.
wow, what an ignorant generalisation
These folks were the original Blue Man Group.
я твой слуга, я твой робот !
Interesting that it’s not a live performance more performance art.
I love this band but they are clearly miming along to the record. Lame.
all use make up
