Show 228 - Kraftwerk - Live At Coachella - 26 April 2008

 

A quick request. If you plan on downloading this and putting it on your YouTube channel or your own bootleg page - I don't mind. But a credit to this website where you found it and a link back to this page would be really appreciated. It helps me gauge which artists are popular - ie more chance of other restorations coming. Don't just steal it, cut out the intro and outro and take the credit. Thanks.

The Show
An audience recording from the time but a very clear one. This show was the last of 4 shows Kraftwerk did in the USA in April 2008 - the first shows they performed without founder member Florian Schneider, who's departure wouldn't be confirmed until the following year.

What Was Done
The recording was mostly in good condition, although the volume was a bit up and down and there's a short section of TEE which sounds quite different to the rest - I guess someone put their jacket over the mic or something. I tried to compensate for that but you can still probably hear it. There was also some audible low rumble noticeable between songs - I removed that. Otherwise, once all that was fixed it was EQ and the usual studio toys to beef up the sound, clean up the mix, and then mastered to make it clearer and more powerful overall, and wider. The result is quite a big difference from the original and sounds really good - it's an interesting set..

Supporting The Site

If you want to support the work I do on these recordings, and (if you wish to) obtain separate, fully tagged 320kbps MP3s of this restoration for less than the price of a coffee in return, or lossless FLACs - or even a lossless copy on CDR - head on over to the Rewards For Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site. There is NO OBLIGATION to do so of course - you can take the file on this page absolutely for free - but every single donation is appreciated and helps me do more shows and update some of the software I use as time goes by. Either way, enjoy the show.
