This is so amazing! It's cool seeing Kraftwerk at their best playing Autobahn on TV and I've actually never seen Karl play the synthetic drums, so it was really nice watching him play with Wolfgang, Florian, and Ralf. Long Live Kraftwerk!!!
I was shocked when i firstly watched this version!!! just pioneering and great!!! They were the first to teach Electro-Pop in the early 70s. Amazing synths of a different Era!!!!!
They are not pioneers in electronic music. They just made a lot of new samples and brought the music to the crowds. Pioneers are Kid Baltan (Dick Raaijmakers) and Tom Dissevelt.
Well they're not indeed the pioneer, but they're absolutely one of the earliest generation of electronic music alongside with Tangerine Dream and Ultravox with JM Jarre followed later Kraftwerk is the father of some subgenres, such as electro house and hip hop while JM Jarre is the father of trance.

Mad stepfather was a truck driver and loved his Kraftwerk - very unusual where I come from . That’s how I learned of them - age 10 . This is brilliant.
@@plejady No it’s Kraftwerk, Punks would be the first to admit that bands like Sex Pistols weren’t even proper musicians, much more attitude and anarchic behaviour statement makers. They even took their stage performance cue from The Stooges, New York Dolls, Ramones proto-punksters and a bit of Velvet Underground art/garage rock. Kraftwerk actually failed to put their favourite influencers to work but ended up pioneering a revolutionary electronic music genre from near ground zero. They virtually birthed the sound of the 1980s, and influenced the many music genres and youth sub-cultures that followed. Even Bowie and 100s of pop stars and legends who you’d never guess as Kraftwerk fans cite them as influencers.
you are right kraftwerk are 100percent great and they are a one off and thanks for uploading this gem and you have a good ear for music do you like more german band from the 1970s

@sternenkind What exactly do you mean by 'creative process'? The process of composing the music (melody, percussion, rythm, lyrics), composing the sounds (tuning variables and parameters), playing the sounds/music in a non-perfect pre-programmed way (the human touch in the man-machine)? It's all based upon electrical signals, stemming from a wall outlet @ 50/60Hz. Using analog or digital equipment in the process, in the end it all becomes analogue through the speakers. ;) But I guess you probably like the idea of all steps being 'analogue': the tone generators, the instruments and their controls, the recordings, the production of albums (vinyl and/or tape)? Kraftwerk digitalised all of their sounds, samples and music in the eighties. That's one of the reasons that it took so long to create and publish new material, it seemed.
It's not about digital vs analogue , it is about people who know hot to do sound synthesis aka most people who used them in 70s and 80s, there was no other option VS nowadays when you have million presets.
That date of first live synth solo may well be challenged even just for first British or Anglophone band that did it, depending upon when exactly Chicory Tip and Hot Butter first began touring with their hit singles, "Son of my Father" and "Popcorn". Before that, there were already Amon Düül II, who were using Moogs since 1968. Perrey & Kingsley were using Moogs since 1967, but were they actually touring at that time? Ah, just found this: One of the first public demonstrations of the Moog was by experimental musicians Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Heck, if you even count so-called "electronic pianos" or "electronic keyboards", The Beatles were using them on their tours as early as 1965 and 1966! Just look at what John's playing on the concert film of their Shea Stadium appearance.

The rare happy german.
That smile reminded me of Christopher Eccleston for a minute.
Kawaii.
yeap florian (RIP) is allways scary serious !
John Cage said even the sound of traffic can be perceived as music. Here is Kraftwerk putting that principle into practice.
Noise, by definition, is NOT music, and a "principle" to the contrary is nonsense!
Well, at times, the concept of what's noise and what's music can be quite subjective, so a one-for-all law on it can't be made
I watched this on the telly when it was shown. I was mesmerised. I’ve loved electronic music ever since
Awwww Florians smile at the end 💞 what a character ❤🖤
There's a richness in analogue electronic music that I really like, something that's lacking today.
Masterpiece never gets old.
You will play keyboard in heaven! Rip Florian

It was his only "commercial" record.

I saw this tour in Birmingham Alabama with the Atlanta Rhythm Section opening the show. I was a different person after seeing Kraftwerk.
Any cool memories from the concert. Do you remember which songs they played. And what it sounded like?
Beyond the incredible music and instruments check out how they dressed plus their hair... at least 5 years ahead of fashion
...and Florian smiles.
Ich erinnere mich noch ganz gut an diese mucke von Kraftwerk. Im Auto haben wir das Teil ganz laut gestellt und mitgesungen
this is how I remember Tomorrow's world beginning lol, but seriously, Kraftwerk then really sounded good..even then...😊😊

The narrator is Derek Cooper, a well known radio broadcaster in his day.
I didn't think it was Raymond Baxter as mentioned in an earlier comment?
Simon Pearn
That’s right. Derek Cooper was a presenter of the Radio 4 Food Programme. A voice perfect for voice-overs and radio. Much missed.
Thanks Brian, I'm afraid to say I hadn't heard of Derek Cooper until now!

I love the analogue sound, so warm and full of character, modern Synths just sound too clinical
@Sleeping Not to mention that analog synthesizers are still being manufactured by companies such as Moog, Korg, and Sequential to this day.
Honestly this is an ignorant comment to anyone with a significant knowledge of synthesis.

Wonderful archival footage. Thank you. So ground-breaking, new and exciting. And interesting!

I had wondered, thanks. That would make it 17th September 1975.
