- This concert at the "carussel of the youth" from 1970 is the earliest existing concert video of these electronic pioneers. The band was just created this year and could be seen in the original setup.

Who loves this bullshit?
Lmao
Perfect response!
LOL!!!
I love how few people are really into it and clapping, while others are having an existential crisis about a dystopian future in which this kind of music becomes popular.
Those clapping are probably high, mind you
Those few were able to grab what they were looking for, Rest are still looking around for that friends friend.

Desde cuando el Krautrock Düsseldorf y el Progressive Rock Alemán es Techno? 🤣
El Techno se forja de la misma Música Electrónica y del EDM Concreto (principalmente de uno de sus géneros matrices del EDM...el Electro).
My name Is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me...the father and pionner of EDM / The Sound Of Future.
@@joezava8257el krautrock (que no es un género definido de por si) fue influencia para las primeras bandas techno, el motorik, groove con sintetizadores y todo eso, esta mal llamar esto "El Primer Techno" pero tampoco se debe negar la influencia que tuvo en el techno y otros generos
@@rolandozarate5570 Primeras bandas Techno? esto es Krautrock Düsseldorf & Progressive Rock Alemán duro y puro, esta es la raíz, linaje y base de los muchachos de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk)...esto no es música electrónica clásica ni ning. de sus 4 líneas base (E. Post Concreta, E. Moog, E. Experimental y E. Soundtrack) la cual forja el EDM Concreto (Giorgio Moroder) y de dónde nace el Techno...uno de los muchos géneros electrónicos del EDM 80's desarrollado dentro de la segunda fase de evolución y ramificación de esta escena electrónica / 1981-1989, tanto en su primera fase (Electro Detroit) como en su segunda fase (Techno Europeo post 1987).
*Kraftwerk* : we made a thing
*Audience* : ok, but how do you use it
*Kraftwerk* : we haven't quite figured that part out yet
But when we do, look out!

Has Joel Thomas Zimmerman ever made any references to these pioneers in EDM?
@@JohnWasinger Not sure, but deadmau5 has said that he loves Boards of Canada, Tycho, and Aphex Twin, likely among many others of that caliber. Source: ruclips.net/video/v_RJtVQ6uag/видео.html

This is Krautrock Düsseldorf and German progressive rock...it's not techno or classic electronic music.
Techno is an electronic genre of EDM and is forged within the second phase of development and evolution of this electronic scene (EDM 80's 1981-1989), the founding father and pioneer of EDM is Giorgio Moroder and EDM is forged directly from the Classical Electronic Music and its 4 main lines.
Techno is not forged or developed from Progressive Rock & German Krautrock from Düsseldorf from the guys from Conny Plank (Kraftwerk)...I think you've been fooled all this time boy, that's what happens when you listen to Post-Punks and ignorant Rockers who don't have an ounce of knowledge about electronic music.

Well. It's understanble really. They have never heard anything like this before. It's like some weird alien music.They are listening, slowly noticing the familiar in this new thing: Beats, notes, rhytmical repetition. Slowly understanding that It's not really all that bad.

Drugs haven't kicked in yet
This is by far, greatest comment under video.
Can't imagine hearing that without the frame of reference we have now fifty years later. Minds were blown that day.
Robot music
You could tell some people didn't know what to think. A couple videos of Throbbing Gristle I've seen show people with a similar bewildered look. I love Kraftwerk; their influence is obvious. However, as much as I dislike Throbbing Gristle, it too had its place as a necessary stepping stone for modern electronic music.
"What sorcery is this?"
The reference point for both artists and audience would be sounds of working machinery
Minds were certainly blown, just maybe not in the way kraftwerk intended ^^ Well, they worked it out in the end

This is something new for them, you can tell because some had absolutely no idea what the hell is going on while some went with it.

You're good but it started way before.
@@AlexandreAuCambodge how so?
@@AlexandreAuCambodge I'm sorry, but electronic music was nothing like this before Kraftwerk. The synthesiser was used intermittently throughout compositions, but never as the featured instrument, never as the instrument that created the melody (Autobahn) and the harmony at the same time... (Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine) and we're not even mentioning the fact that they created their own electronic drum beats. That was simply unheard of.
JACK CORBOS even now, a lot of music is exactly like this but with hi hats
Ligeti wrote Musica Ricerta back in 1951 and even though it is technically played on a piano sections sound like nineties dance music. Not the first time stuff from classical music has been rebranded and sold to a different demographic.
ruclips.net/video/nIs3jechQ_E/видео.html
Grew up in Germany around that time. While I have never seen them live on stage, I still remember being glued to the radio late in the evening to listen to the latest synthesiser music. Tangerine dream, Jean Michelle Jarre, Neu etc
Hellll Yeah... same here. I'm actually more surprised reading your comment naming Tangerine Dream and the others... wow... same I was listening to when growing up back then..😁😁

@@joezava8257 Krautrock was very much an invented umbrella term by the British press for a broad range of alternative styles that emerged in and amongst German bands and musicians at that time. Experimenting with newly emerging electronic instruments was part of this.
@@andreasschulzebaing6443 The entire range of German amateur groups and producers that started Krautrock were mostly Rockers and followed the lines of the nascent Progressive Rock (mostly UK), Krautrock did not escape Rock and its experimentation with Classical Electronic Music did not distance it from its musical matrix base (equal to musical scenes that were simultaneously experimenting with Electronics such as Progressive Rock or first-line Electro Funk Synth/Clavinet, in the case of Conny Plank Strongly rooted in Krautrock (Can, Neu, Kraftwerk...), Krautrock never reached a solid synthesis with Electronics, distancing it from its Rock matrix, only certain projects in Krautrock reached a relevant level in Electronics (E. Post Concreta, E. Moog, E. Experimental, E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi, Cósmic) under the adoption, replica and copy of other Electronic lines developed directly from this musical art such as that developed by the top producers and developers of Electronica of the 70's (third wave): Moroder (E. Munich), Jarre (E. Francia), Lacksman (E. Belgium), YMO (E. Japón), Tangerine Dreams & Schulze (E. Berlín), Vangelis, Decerf...(just to name a few).
Sounds like he's choking an electric duck on top of Polka.
Or like a little cow stuffed into the synth. :DD

This is holy truth.
Fact!
Hahahah thank you Daniel Craig, was wondering what you were doing in between filming James Bond tbh
This reminds me of the first Black Sabbath performances, where people were reportedly freaking out because they had no idea what to make of what they were hearing. Both Sabbath and Kraftwerk were many years, in the case of Kraftwerk even decades, ahead of their time in the sounds and concepts they were putting out there. What a delightfully surreal experience that must have been.
@@slulzspot7583 It's obvious you don't know much about who this band is.

@@slulzspot7583 No, these guys were definitely much more mindboggling. Hard Rock and Heavy Psych had already been around for years and the shift from that to Heavy Metal wasn't huge. A mainstream audience hearing this would be much, much more astounding.

If this was in 1970, Black Sabbath would be releasing their first album.
What is this crap?
@@alexantonio8546 this "crap" is the beginning of a musical movement.
German TV was so ahead of every other country when it came to music TV or live music on TV..I first heard several bands on the old grey whistle test as I'm British some amazing music played live by what became Great bands... fantastic upload👌👍🏴🏴🏴.....
In 1987 I bought Kraftwerk's vinyl album "The Man-Machine". and I remember at that time I enjoyed bands like Depeche Mode, The Fixx, The Cure etc.. and I felt as if Kraftwerk were just an over simplified version of the bands that I liked. Little did i realize that all those bands had learned from Kraftwerk. and this was almost 40 years ago.
That's a fair statement though. I was born in 1975, and I didn't have the experience of being mystified by kraftwerk as pioneers of a newish sound. My favorite bands were Bauhaus, siouxsie, Pink dots, skinny puppy. Even if Kraftwerk weren't on top of the list, like Devo, they wrote cute songs about pocket calculators and the autobahn, and they had an inherently humorous quirky robot thing that gave a kraftwerk performance some larger than life mystique
I find it absolutely funny, how young people didn't know they can dance to these strange tunes and they're just clapping hands. Bits of anthropology and microhistory recorded live.
Maciek Trybuszewski Probably none of them knew how to dance, and this was a faster pace than any dancer would have been familiar with.
Must be a degenerate to dance to this shit. Oh btw if the groove does exist - it will tell the human body how to dance don’t worry about that
@@slava.meseka I imagine myself dancing to this in this time period and I feel like I would look like an ass clown...

Me too, feels like "there was another, unknown period before our time"!
Depending on the time of the year this is - the Beatles where still a band...
High asf
I was a teenager in the 1970's. I wouldn't listen to this stuff but "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk was good. But the best techno of the 70's was Jean-Michel Jarre "Oxygène".
I think this was like one of the first "techno" music, ppl are just confused with this new sounds and beats
Ohmeingott, ich war damals 17, meine 2 Brüder jeweils 1 Jahr jünger. Wir hatten einen Partyraum mit Ofen und einem riesigen Lautsprecher. Ab und zu kamen auch Freunde aus der Stadt und musizierten mit meinem Bruder (Bassist). Jedes Wochenende gabs eine Party und natürlich geile Musik: Rock, Soul, natürlich auch die ersten Deutschen: Kraftwerk, Ashratempel, Popolvu usw. usw.
Lautstärke: volle Kanne! Ich danke meinen Eltern noch heute für diese Toleranz in diesen wirklich wilden Jahren! Ich habe heute ca. 1500 Schallplatten und etwa genausoviel Cd's. Was gibt es geileres als Musik!? ((Ich bin jetzt 70)!
Then they took a pill and everything makes sense

Thought the same
Underrated comment
This is such a good analogy. That's that primordial fire.
Indeed
🤣🤣🤣
And Kraftwork said "LET THERE BE TECHNO" and there was techno.
and it was good !
I've played a Kraftwerk song to student co workers and they just said "You really listen to that?" They don't know who Kraftwerk is and I felt really old. And I am still young. Strange that some people don't know this band.
LASS ES TEKNO SEIN
And then they ditched it until it was rediscovered in the late 80's. Bit like the Vikings discovering America only for everyone to say that Columbus discovered it hundreds of years later. Wish someone at this concert told them forget everything apart from this track.
All hail Ralf & Florian!!!!

Jim Morrison predicted this a few years prior - that music performances would become more and more electronically driven and he even foresaw “a single person” performing in front of a crowd using “tapes and electronic setups” to create live music.
Even though this performance is very primitive, so many of the elements that are essential of modern EDM are already there.
lol Jim Morrison accurately predicted Aphex Twin

These are just broad classifications encompassing many sub-classifications. Hard to discuss a diverse topic without them. Do you similarly have a problem with “Rock”? “Hip-hop”? “Classical”? See what I mean? You have to be broad before you can get to the specific.
Yeah especially since electronic music was technically invented many years before kraftwerk in 1929 except it wasn’t really music but just a bunch of weird sounds made with electronics

OMD , Original line up Ultravox with John fox and the human league were all before tubeway army
@@valley_robot Yes I agree. They laid the way and all featured syth, and a number of other bands used synth and whatnot fairly prominentlty, but it was Numan that really made it the highlight feature of his sound in an obvious way.
1977, “I Feel Love.”
@@martinharris5017 this is way behind verly early synth...its cause they had a following. You need to research young man
@@simulation8083 I don't recall suggesting this was the earliest of synth? You are making assumptions. I made comment on the apparent reactions of the audience. Synth was around well before Kraftwerk but most hadn't been introduced to it yet and it takes a long time for new technology to be embraced, developed and accepted as mainstream.
Even the Moog was preceded by Leo Theremin's amazing instrument (I have one here in my workshop BTW). Theremin's story is well worth pursuing and there is a fabulous documentary available on the subject.
I'm not a "young man". I get paid to research BTW but music is purely a personal interest and thus not my main focus of research.
Kids in 1970: yeah let's hear some new music. Great, it sounds like ducks that are mating.
I've been listening to Kraftwerk for like 25 years. I Iove em ... but your comment is spit on for this track.

que genial.
I’m incredibly jealous of the lucky ones who, after all these years, can recognize themselves in this video!
They would be at least 70 if they were at Uni. Makes me smile, yer nanny is a techno head 😆
Unless they are one of the 3 people leaving around 2:10. I bet they feel dumb now. 😆

Why would they feel dumb, if they didn't like, they didn't like it!🤷
Music, Art are subjective, everybody has preferences.
@@abelis644same with jokes
I knew Kraftwerk were the pioneers of Electronic music but techno in 1970?! Mindblown!!
pryvremena, check out black devil disco club. It’s straight up house music from the 70s. It’ll really blow your mind.
Tommy James & the Shondells used a Moog on Cellophane Symphony, and the Dead used one back in the 60s. Saw them live in 74-75 in Birmingham(USA).
Techno is electronic music
ikr
@@precariousserius2846 Thanks a lot for your recommendation! It's amazing.
(RIP)
Florian Schneider, one of the founders of Kraftwerk, died.
Heartfelt condolences.
Thanks Kraftwerk for your magnificent sound.
Thanks Kraftwerk for all your work.
Because we sure as hell will never forget you, Florian - thank you. ❤️
Everyone is commenting about the audiences confused reactions when the reality is that they’re probably just all stoned.
So true aye
Their weed contained max 1/20 of todays thc, today you would say they only smoked some cbd weed haha😅

On this same day there was a flock of ducks flying outside completely confused.
Chris Ellis dude : D
Man! :D
Confused Geese not ducks...lol on the comedy comment though.
😂
😂😂😂
Even 50 years later this sound is confusing for some ordinary people..
Well it’s not necessarily pleasant
@@cannabiskush9236 most techno isn't lets be honest and that's coming from someone with a channel fan boying over Spanish techno (or as its called makina/maquina)
But this song really *meh*
@@rainy2063 It may not be pleasant, but it was the invention of techno, right? IMO it is definitely significant
@@danielpassigmailcom This does't sound like any techno, actually
Just odd melody
Me: Trying to sleep in a hot summer night.
Crickets raving outside your window: 0:34
Me at work: hold on it's sounds like a fax is coming in.
The crowd was obviously waiting for a bass drop...
Sadly there was no bass drop
The Poltergeist Still a belter though
or an acid drop!!!
Mbc hahahahaha so true
Most of the crowd seems to have thought WTF is this?
what a treasure, this footage, this band, this idea. Amazing, on many levels, importance.
1:17 This part slaps HARD. Headbanging to this.
Nearly 50 years later and my mates still dance like this
Ewan Campbell ~ he's just getting down with the kids cos the youth of today all dance like that. The only difference being the mobile phone glued to their hands
@@nancynineties8617 seem's you have never been on a rave
@@j.freytag3305 ~ hahaha I was lucky enough to be around when drugs were drugs raving was raving & dancing was dancing. If you weren't there in 1989 when it all began you ain't got a clue & you never will
@@nancynineties8617 *seems you have never been on a Rave in the Last 10 years
@@j.freytag3305 ~ thats where you're wrong. I have the advantage of being at both ends of the scale and I know where I'd rather be. We created the British rave culture & for me nothing compares to the original OldSkool raves. Just my opinion thats all
Unbelievable. Total visionaries. Influenced everyone from Aphex Twin to Infected Mushroom. Thanks for posting this gem.
the full presentation is avaliable... somewhere... and is great
Totally agree with you, some "kids" just dont understand that, but is ok, thats why we have Automatic Transmission cars.
adaptiveagile that's like saying jesus 'influenced' Christians. These guys are the roots.
Was listening to a some alex kidd yesterday and thought how similar it sounded :)
Windowlicker
According to the look on the faces of most of the people in the crowd, they were not ready for that yet
Indeed most were not ready for this. But Kraftwerk and others prepared them get ready for this. I am always impressed when I see this. People always think techno is something new, and when I did that in the 90tees, I did that to. But the pioneers again were 20years ahead. From todays view, this is nearly 50 years ago!!!
Yea, this is some super minimalist techno, too. I can see why they'd all be like WTF?
I get the reaction given the year. The funny thing though is that to this very day if this was played live on unsuspecting people they would have similar reactions. The vast majority of "music lovers" today are completely clueless and ignorant to what authentic electronic music sounds like. There will always be a large number of people (I think most people) who will not have the brains to truly appreciate or respect electronic music.
it was too hard to they...heh
imagine they listen to nowdays hardtechno.....
Chris Scopp The thing is there are people who just cannot listen to music like this at all. Even people today, they just wont accept this as "music". Not trying to insult these people but they don't have that ear brain connection that many of us do. People saying it sucks or whatever are generally in the lower iq bracket from my experiences.
No cliche bs.. literally mind blown. I was aware of of these guys and how they were techno pioneers and influential what have you. 1970!!!
I am lost for words 🤯
I like how they are trying to figure it out what to do. How slowly they start clapping and bouncing
Imagine introducing cybergoth or dubstep to them at that time period
Lol
@@thomasawylie I think they would've had the same effect as isound
@@trendgil I totally picture a modern cybergoth girl dancing, the look on the hippies faces... Epic
@@thomasawylie now THAT reaction would be epic.
Clapping on techno. I love it.
Live drumming on the techno beat
sartre13 ahahaha i was clapping with them in my head i was nodding too so it's all good
sartre13 yeah me too 👏👏👏
sartre13 pretty typical for us Germans. The people here literally clap to anything.
The krauts we're right.
It’s fricking RAD that this footage even exists!
History unfolds of another musical genre.
right, and this was probably just found footage that someone had equipment to convert there might even be earlier techno just hasnt been archived yet :)
What does RAD stand for?
Short for Radiator = hot
@@Marco21-2-86 radiation. it can only be cured by drinking rad a way
Can you imagine having been at a rave where there is a band performing?! I would've loved it. The very first time I heard techno i remember all my friends saying "what is THIS?" and me being like
🤯 🤘🤪 👏👏👏🕺🕺🕺
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground well yeah 🤪 of course music groups have concerts but raves always had "live" djs. what are they gonna have dead ones?lol... I've been to too many to count, but the biggest were Deadmaus and Tiesto... but I'm talking about like in the video, an actual band at a Rave. Thats the point, it'd be so different than what I was used to
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground oh I just realized you said trance acts at raves. the thing is I don't know names so that meant not much to my brain. I only recognize music when I hear it. thats cool though, I didn't know that was a thing. must've been awesome... my first rave was in 2000 as a freshman in high-school so I missed the whole 90s scene
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground i like some of the popular and some of the no ones ever hear of but me... one of my first favorite bands that I know the name was a German one called blutengel but o/her then that I don't think I could correctly name maybe 10 djs... and the reason I know deadmaus and Tiesto in particular by name is only because of the raves, they weren't local and we actually had to do roadtrips... although one of my favorite albums was searching for sunrise or something like that by Tiesto... I hate when people don't like popular artists just because their popular though... thats the worst reason to not like someone
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground most of the songs I liked were because I liked dancing to them at the clubs and raves I went to and my best friend would make me cds of all our favorites so I never learned the names of djs or even songs most of the time. It actually really suvks and was stupid of me because now 20 years later its been practically impossible to find most of them except the most popular or ones with specific lyrics I could Google 😕🤷 wish I had a better memory now and I'd spent time learning the names of songs... you must have great playlists
Love the crowds expressions! they dont know what to make of it!!! Priceless!!
To them it was probably just noise. Lol. Computer dork crap, or something like that.
Kraftwerk: This is the future!
Audience: clap, clap (weird faces)

Lol, dude the they were so lost

Crazy. This band has been playing in New York subway stations for 53 years.
All the mixed reactions are great. Faces all like O____O "This sounds like a dying calculator screaming for help!" and others ^____^ "THE NEW HOTNESS!"
Many talented DJs emerged from this audience to this day still.
don't think so, they'de be around 70 ...
Im agree , the same stupid Big Room Style ,Tomorroland and dumbstep techno ..
@@robh226 what's wrong with being a dj at 70?

Mind you. Have you seen Pete and Bas? If not you're in for a treat
@@thatoneguychad420 ill check em out!! Thanks
They probably have no clue that they're witnessing an historic moment in music history.
My first Kraftwerk album was Radioactivity at 1978, in Budapest then seen them live in Toronto in the 90s. They were excellent.
I love how some people were digging it instantly xD
The crowd is like "Needs more cowbell"
Yawn
😂😂
🤣
these people thought they were witnessing a rock concert, while they were actually witnessing the 1st techno ever. What a great experience that mus have been. :)
Thank you for the music Kraftwerk! ❤
Sounds like some kind of frog gang bang party on the lake lol
Lmaooo

Where in the name of God did u find this pearl??? Techno on 70's... GOD THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!
First Underground Techno Party in Germany 1970
actually soest is a town in holland..
guess it stuck as a whole bunch of dj's producers and line of the harder techno stem from there :)

@@houseofancients actually this video was recorded in Soest in Germany...which is within North Rhine-Westphalia 😊
@@Dreamcee never ever knew there was a soest in germany too :)
First Rave. Part of the public only clapped. The rest were confused.
Back when electronic music was almost entirely analogue, we'll never be able to create the same sort of sound with software, it just can't be done. This was an amazing era for computer music :D
i'm one of the 150 proud owner of these beautifull things on vinyl. 👌
How much? 😂

@@fabianschulz9843 obst für dich
Preserve that thing
What most of you guys don't realise is that this is 30 years before it's time, so it's no wonder some of the crowd jut don't get it. Ralf Hutter is a genius:-)
Well Acid (what I would call this) got mainstream attention in 1988 and by that time House/Acid was already established in the clubs. So make that 16/17 years.
its badass
Agree. They took a completely do it yourself route, with electronic oscillations and beats, and went in a direction few had experimented with. The smooth, precision of later Kraftwerk crystallizes rapidly after this, and the rest is history.
I don't think artists are ever ahead of their time.
I think everyone else is just behind theirs.
what's 'genius' about it? it sounds just as stupid then as it does now. repetitive, numbing, uninspired, uncreative. Music for stupid people.
It sounds like a floppy drive in a computer when it's on
Luke Barrett LOL
Hahahahahahah
Hahahahha 😂😂😂😂
There was no floppy drives nor computers back then. Lol
Search for Floppotron. U will love it
