Kraftwerk :: Live In Soest, 1970 (First Concert)

Kraftwerk just wrapped up their American tour earlier this month in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl. The group’s next performances begin early next month in Europe, via an eight night residency at the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain. Each evening’s performance will be dedicated to a singular album, beginning with Autobahn (1974) on October 7th and ending with Tour de France Soundtracks (2003) on the 14th.

The above video, recorded in Soest, Germany in 1970, is reportedly the group’s first performance and earliest known footage. In 2014 Electronic Beats shared Dimitri Hegemann’s (founder of Berlin’s Tresor club) insight and recollections of the performance, which he attended at 16. A must-read companion to the set’s footage.
