I was at the Kraftwerk show, too! Amazing that St. Louis was ever even on their tour schedule. It was worth waiting 2 years for it.

i was thinking about going when first scheduled but 4 got all about till week of show:) so hard 2 explain how 4 guys just standing there playing with knobs could be compelling but it just totally was. many consider them the most influential act outside fab 4 in the rock era. The visuals were so vital to the whole experience.

Maybe not so amazing. Manchester, if I am correct, is a very industrial city with very old (many of them closed now) industrial shops. It is a city which perhaps resembles Youngstown OH, with closed industry and little or no hope. Lots of working people there seeking for work to raise their families. Their way out, since the Beatles, has been music.

Manchester resembles St. Louis more than Youngstown.  Very similar metro areas size wise and in many other ways.

I know! Technology (some of it they themselves invented) is amazing!
