This is insane 😳 I knew these guys have been around for decades, but I had no idea they went back THAT far. Legends and pioneers! 🏆
@Reece Oakley bot
@Justin Paul bot
I didn't know they were still around . I first heard them around 1975
They had quite a journey!
Same here, lol their journey lasted more than most wish their group would. 🛸
If Kraftwerk doesn’t calm you down or get you hyped we cannot be friends.
:)
Omg I couldn’t have said it better!!! ❤❤❤
Hello my friend.
1981 was the best. I love them getting all funky at the front of the stage during 'Pocket Calculator'. Almost human for once!
Went their concert 2 months ago! One of the GREATEST ever!! Wish I could have seen the Ralf, Florian, Wolfgang & Karl version in concert before!!
Kraftwerk-one of all time greatest bands should be in the Rock and Roll HOF. Pioneers of electronic music.
funny you should mention that
Well, my friend, you just predicted the future.
Pioneers of Dance music. I first seen them in the BARROWLANDS GLASGOW in the 90s one of my best nights ever, it was a pleasure guys.
this video can be also interpretated as a review at the evolution of electronic music
5 years later,I answer NO,I disagree,because Kraftwerk weren't alone to explore synthesis even if they are a master piece in the history of électronic music of today,for sure.
This video can also be interpreted as a review of the worst possible audio and video recording quality of all time
I’m glad that I gave the 255th thumbs up, there is 8-bit CPU computer significance there, and of the same era too 😂
@@MegaPhalaenopsis Nobody said they were alone
Saw the computer World tour at the Gaumont Southampton on 26th June 1981. What a privilege. The clip here brought back great memories.
I love how their hairstyle and clothes are so 80's althrough the 70's
I love the early 80s NASA mission control look
I have loved Krateerk since I was 12 years old. 1982!!
I remembering listening to Kraftwerk
One night at my friend's Loft when we were having a camping out night and just being mesmerized by numbers I had no idea that I was listening to some of the hardest core acid music before I did acid I did some shrooms a little bit after that and they have always been one of my favorite groups!!!! I had no idea at the time they were so influential with hip hop in other music!!!
Still to this day I love Kraftwerk numbers
And Computer World the album that numbers came off of Computer World with revolutionary back in the day and it had Reynolds locations in the future because hip-hop and a lot of other genres took some of the things that Kraftwerk did because they were the first one of the first it had influence on all genres breakbeat the back in the day it was called breakdancing but it was way more than breakdancing it was a feeling it was a sound that you had never heard before they are Legend!!!!!!!!!!!
Me since i was 5, 2014
God.... Pocket Calculator makes me so happy.
1981 was the sweet spot. Their rig bore no resemblance to anything musical- like four guys at work at the nuclear power station control room, yet music they made.
That year was like the start of electro break dance hip hop. I'm sure this was the inspiration, because this sounds like something that Afrika Bambataa would make.
@@NinjaDash360 I don't know if you're naive or if you're joking, but that entire album was the inspiration for modern hip hop and electro. Africa Bambataa's "Planet Rock" was literally a fusion of "Trans-Europe Express" and "Numbers". Karl Bartos remains furious about it to this day.
silverdroid exactly!! well done 👍🏼
I will love this band till my dying day ❤
So am I
@@chishunwong6630,... so do I !
saw them in '74 or '75 in New Orleans at the warehouse. very sparse equipment and light show was slide projections... great show!
JEFF bragg,you can consider yourself very lucky to have seen them live at the best moment.Personally,I would not go to see them live today , as for me it doesn't have the same interest today.
Wow! Must have been amazing
You are so lucky!
@@MegaPhalaenopsis You're missing out. Saw them in 2017, fantastic show. The sound was imense and the performances were great.
Look up Kraftwerk The Robots live Belfast, to get a glimpse at what I saw. There's a few videos of it on RUclips.
@@PitchSkullBlack Am I allowed to disagree? for me,kraftwerk was much more interested before their lp "the mix"After that one,their sound changed for something more digital , and for me,whith much less soul than the originals "trans europ express" "radioactovity" "computer love" etc...The tr 909 techno beats in their old tracks was for me a huge mistake.But everybody is allowed to have his own tastes.Strangely , I prefer what Karl Bartos did alone till recently , than kraftwerk after 1995.And about live acts,I prefer to see a minimoog than their digital cold static desks whith "reaktor"that's my opinion.
What a transformation from Acid to pioneering Electronica, great video.
Was at a concert in 2004. The sound is great! I saw the main part of the group.The best people of the group! Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter, Wolfgang Flür, Karl Bartos. True Kraftwerk. In 2018, everything was wrong. The name remains, the spirit has disappeared.
In 2004 there was no Bartos and Flür - They already had left the Band at that time
Самая уникальная группа за всю историю электронной музыки!
Первые электронщики.
Yes, the electronic drums were designed and built by Florian Schneider. He has a big passion for handmade electronic instruments. Even his flute was electronic.
Actually built by Wolfgang Flur, then patented by Ralph and Florian in1977 without Wolfgang's knowledge. To his credit, Wolfgang shows a slide of the patent during his current DJ set (2020)
@@keithsaxon4866 thank you for that info
Keith Saxon you’re absolutely right it was Wolfgang he was a furniture designer by trade he also built the stage sets
F-ing blows my mind that these cats created electronic drum pad sets in the early 70s!!! I wanna know those who lived it at the time tell how they processed seeing these things out there... had to blow minds back in the day or leave people asking WTF?
(I was just born and my first time seeing electronic drums were the classic Simmons)
@@GVike you are right... I was a kid by that time... 9 years old at 1970. These sounds simply didn't exist. We were living the time for space exploration. Electronics was inspiration for everyone. Sounds like that should come from UFO....
These sounds certainly inspired many guys to be electronic technician or engineer.
Awesome clip. Thanks. Been following Kraftwerk 41 years. Great performance 7-5-2020 shrine auditorium Los Angeles. Unforgettable 3-D show and incredible sound system.
My how they evolved through the decades, Rest in peace Floridan
Most influential band in the last 50 years! Iconic
Changed hugely with the Autobahn album
5. the song from 1976 is antenna (it is mentioned in the video description also)
6. florian is using a mini calculator
7. the 1997 song doesn't have an exact title
8. stefan is a video technician in the group, but i think he makes also some sound effects
Thanks for your comment. Forever KRAFTWERK
2:20 so the eighties actually started in 1975. This clip proves Kraftwerk was always at least five years ahead of their time.
Hell yeah! ^^
More like 1000 years!
No one makes music like kraftwerk even the mix has something that no one haves maybe karl bartos haves
Oh i forgot he is biggest part of kraftwerk music
I saw them in '96. I've seen a lot of epic concerts through the years and it remains one of my favorites.
1:11 it's little known but they also invented the VLC media player in 1971.
Desirable Jodie good old VLC
Why do I feel a r/Wooosh... brainlet incoming?
@@edgyweebsorcerer "r/whooosh" "brainlet"
I fucking hate today's internet culture...
It was released in 2001 lol
The also were the 1st to acknowledge the spherical shape of the earth.
Saw them in 91 in Barcelona. The gig was one of a kind as during Autobahn all of a sudden power went off. They had to reboot everything and retake the gig from there, which was cool. I remember the mouse of an Atari computer booting the OS on the four screens :D
4:18 I dont know why but suddently seeing their clones in the crowd gets me every time
these guys have written music history! love from germany and peace
l knew as a kid back in the mid 70's that Kraftwerk would be a big hit. l still love their music today and l'm old as dirt. l guess they are just a tad older than me. 62 y/o that's me.
GENIUS OF THE FIRST ELECTRONICS!!!
Rip Florian Schneider
When sounds from the past sound like from the future it's Kraftwerk. Was. Will be.
Seen them live in Sydney Capitol theatre around 1981 just after the release of " Computer World".
Amazing concert, they even let the crowd interact with "Pocket calculator".
They remain utterly miraculously brilliant to this day. Computerliebe is still one of favorite records. It's embarrassing to be an American who can only speak English. Krafterwerk- c'est magnifique et incroyable. Vunderba.
Lastly: "Radioactivity- in the air for you and me!"
Ephraim Lessell and Raccoon Records salute Kraftwerk Ephraim Lessell and Raccoon Records salute Kraftwerk Ephraim Lessell and Raccoon Records salute Kraftwerk Ephraim Lessell and Raccoon Records salute Kraftwerk Ephraim Lessell and Raccoon Records salute Kraftwerk Ephraim Lessell and Raccoon Records salute Kraftwerk
A great way to see the evolution of Kraftwerk .. and to see them Keep Werking
;o)
Interesting recording thanks for share....through earlier years to 90’s, very well
Sin lugar a dudas los maestros los creadores del tecno donde muchas bandas inglesas y norteamericanas se influenciaron 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pero mucho mas los italianos: Moon Ray, Radiorama, Simoncioni, Savage, Camomilla etc etc
Wish the original four were still together.
Still love their music
I was supposed to see them live last summer, unfortunately you can guess what happened. Still have the physical ticket they mailed us though!
1971, unfassbar, da war ich 6-7 jahre jung. eine deutsche gruppe hat geschichte geschrieben. dank florian und seine genialen mitbestreiter. gute reise & live long & prosper. seit fast 50 jahren geremixt & kopiert, ich hoffe die nächsten 50 jahre auf neue geniale remixes & weiterleben dieser genialen jungs. gute reise florian. a very nice compilation.
1968 war ich zwölf Jahre und wohnte ganz in der Nähe der Remscheider Musikakademie. Dort trafen sich Florian und Ralf 1968 zum ersten Mal bei einem Kurs. Wenn ich heute dort spazieren gehe, bekomme ich Gänsehaut.
Wow their sound has morphed drastically over the years.
7:34 I was at that concert!!! Boing Boom Tschak!!!
To see these guys live in concert before they may Transfer Express Transfer Express is like my all-time favorite instrumental or what have you..I can't get enough of this song it is truly... before its time... today we had a time I sound effect in a studio.. if it had came out today it will truly be a number one hit.. trance Europe Express..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hát ez igaz !Nagyszerü munka !Gratulálok biztos hogy sokáig tartott összeszedni ezt a sok számot.Igazábol sose tudtam hogy ijen régen kezdték el.Koszi ezt a remek osszeálitást.
So awesome! Willing to push boundaries. Forward thinkers. Thank you.
My fav band too... worldwide! Glad to hear you saw them live... I also did, but in 2009... Cheers!
Great compilation btw! The 1998 footage was from one of their Brazilian gigs,missed that because I was underage back then...at least I managed to see them in 2004.
My fav German band ever.
The group that influenced n changed Hip-Hop took us into 21st Century in the 70s Them Germans got Robotic Soul!!! Thankyou Kraftwerk!!!! I went to "Amoeba" store in L.A. years ago and picked up Kraftwerks live shows n music Classic Electronica
Excellent curation. A fine watch.
Just goes to show... Practice makes perfect.
i know all of this stuff
i just wanted to show how the band Kraftwerk evolved over aprox. 4 decades
it doesn't matter if some songs are live or not
What is wonderful, is their extraordinary evolution !
Thank you though for the informations ;)
Forever Kraftwerk !
Sorry but it does matter , as it is written "kraftwerk live performances".Some tracks weren't live and weren"t also performances , using the sound from the records,and videos that have nothing to see whith the music , that were done recently,but aren't lives at all.I prefer 10 000 times Kraftwerk before 1990, than the digital "new kraftwerk" after "the mix", the 3D dvd...I hate their dancefloor "boum boum" kicks for exemple applyed on old tracks , it is totally different , and doesn't have the same interests than to see them live in 1976 whith real analog synthesizers,not these digital consoles whith reaktor that ate all their soul.
4:20 clones of them, watching them. chilly.
Are you greek? So im not the only greek fan 😂😂😂
I've been lucky enough to see them at the Blue Dot festival .One of the best bands I've ever seen ...amazing
1978 - what a performance!!!
Wow video quality was way better in 1975 than it was in 1976.
Its the same when you watch a couple of ac dc concerts or elvis Presley the production quality of some performances where higher than others
They seemed like a completely different band from 70 to 75
Well Ralf and Florian were experimenting with sounds and people. With Wolfgang and then shortly after Karl they found the perfect members.
band evolving
Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Amo a kraftwerk Reyes del sonido experimental creador de universos de sonidos abstractos y makina
Rare Version, thank You for uploading this is very nice. Amazingü
My 50 year old dad loves this group
Ab Roboter ging das ganze steil nach oben. Autobahn war schon ein Meilenstein, obwohl mir etwas zu lang. Radioaktivität und Antenna sind ebenfallls Kulturgut (im Original). Bin mit der Musik aufgewachsen und bin immer noch ein Fan der elektronischen Musik. Leider kann ich ich die Konzerte in 3 D nicht besuchen, da ich nur auf einem Auge sehen kann.
legends! ahead of there time
Now one of them lost...many dreams of electronic and maths all together in nights..
what kills me is how they had their live setup simplified to absolute simplicity by 1978,, then they went and did a complete 360 in 1981 with this massive stage setup that was so burdensome, that the group nearly ended because of it.
They used it to 1998 so it was lot longer
great effort to the uploader thanks heaps
I'd forgot how long they've been entertaining us; right from the Can-like hippy days. You can hear the rave scene influencing them and it during the 90s and how Daft Punk were influenced. Bowing never made it a secret that the second half of Low was made because of K.W. Amazing band
thank you! glad you liked it!
4:02 playing my stove top.
The model was the first track I heard, fantastic and magical
They’d known the proper ingenuity, engineering and dynamics of A.I. years ago!❤ they were absolute genius minded capacities!❤
This started it out for many musicians !
Great video, thank you for the upload. Long live KRAFTWERK!!!
I'm going to see them in two months, so excited!
Wow. thank you.
Gracias por esta progresión en el tiempo de Kraftwerk.
Grazie grandi Kratfwerk, grazie per sempre.❤
Thank you! The live clips are so amazing. Quality is okay but to see them create and hear it as they intended... Awesome! Devo and Daft Punk stole some ideas it looks like. They are electronic music pioneers... Along with Art of Noise and Brian Eno.
Супер, был на концерте в 2006 вроде,это событие на всю жизнь запомнилось.
Они как с другой планеты. Это не может не впечатлить.
Love you guys as always 💚
Pioneers. Hard to believe they were doing this 50 years ago!
true.
I agree they were pioneers.
I love their records till they did "the mix".
After their album "expo 2000" , their sound changed for something digital that I think much less interesting than in the end of the seventies,the 1st versions of radioactivitat,the robots ,electric cafe , autobahn , tour de France 1st versions are much more exciting than their digital remixes whith this horrible dancefloor kick "boum boum boum boum" that kills all the initial soul of these old tracks.
Great mix and time chronology.
Pioneers of electronic music.
2008 had some crunchy bass!
Krafttwerk: A Band who changes themselfes more than ever before in music history! Man goes machine - a currently way of our world.
Geat video, thanks for posting.
These guys got better and better,well done🎹
Gets better every year
thanks
glad you liked it :)
únicos, ímpares, primos , fantásticos, igual não há!!!!😎em alemão melhor ainda !!!
"Nummern" ist seiner Zeit 30 Jahre voraus gewesen. Beeindruckend!
The God Fathers of Techno. Thank you for the compilation. Shame YT don't allow the longer vids anymore. Could of done full length versions :)
From the tripping LSD acid hippies band to synthesizer electronic band...
Welcome to Doc Tops :3
Love these guys
@Слободан Алексић wtf :DDD
So.. to put it simple, a hippie will eventually evolves into a robot?
What in hell s name you knows about acid and hippies, are you kinda 70 nowm so you have a knowledge ? fuck
Without Kraftwerkt, there never would have been Hiphop.
Imagine what people will be hearing in a 1000 years from now? This was only a 40 year window from a single group. 10/10 here.
Brilliant,you can see them evolve.
Finally going in to the Hall!!
Such an important Band!!!!!!
It's so amazing to see them go from experimenting to what later became the Kraftwerk that we know during The Robots performance. They had finally found their niche
Those are the robot dolls they used in their concerts. Sometimes on stage... sometimes in the audience :)
