A later gig from Kraftwerk this time, a full set featuring a previously unheard track - a track that's never been released since either. That track, in the files I had was listed as "Innovation" so that's what I've called it here but as Kraftwerk fans will know, it's been called several things over the years - guessing none of those names actually came from Kraftwerk themselves though!
This was a recording from the crowd - Radio 1 in the UK did record the show but have only ever broadcast an edited version lasting less than 50 minutes - the show here, is in full, lasting an hour and 45 minutes, repaired, tweaked, EQ'ed and remastered to sound better than it ever has before!
Some studio toys removed some of the natural reverb you get on audience recordings and gave me more of the band's sound to play with. From there, it was out with the 30 band EQ, trying to give you more of the sound experience of being in that tent in front of Kraftwerk over 20 years ago!
As of 2026, you now have the choice to not only download this repaired, restored and remastered show as one 320kbps MP3 file but also to stream it - exclusively for FREE by clicking below.

ReplyDeleteNo worries, enjoy!
DeleteI've heard that unheard track referred to as "Tribal Gathering" before. I'm not sure if it's ever been given a proper name though.
ReplyDeleteYup, pretty sure you're right!
DeleteSome people call it Nummweltverschmutzung, seems the band called it that internally based on this YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcdZBfx7xpo&ab_channel=WF203
DeleteI was lucky enough to be at this festival and caught the Kraftwerk set. Until now I have never seen the full concert available for download. Thanks a million! :) As you mention the BBC shamefully cut the live recording down to 1 hour.
ReplyDeleteCool. They were really on it at this gig. Hope it brings back some memories.
DeleteHey, this is really cool! I wasn't born when this was recorded but I know the Tribal Gathering gig was a real make or break moment for Kraftwerk, this recording sounds great cleaned up!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to put it on Tumblr so more people aware. Thanks -- Ryan
Thanks Ryan, glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for sharing the link out there.
DeleteThis is a great show from one of my favourite bands. I remember it being trailed on Radio One and I had to stay up very, very late to record it off-air as they didn't go on stage until the wee small hours. I still think it's fantastic to be able to download these shows that were so difficult to hear when they were originally broadcast, so well done you again!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you're enjoying the site. Lots more shows to come!
