Kraftwerk,, eh?
  • Well, (Conn Artist knows about this....I was bursting to tell someone)

    I went to see Kraftwerk last night at Manchester Velodrome and, as if the light show, 3D projections (British debut), vintage Volkswagen graphics (my love of all pre '67 things VW is little known) and classic cycling footage wasn't enough, during Tour de France we were treated to Team GB doing a few laps of the velodrome.

    I came.

    That's amazing.

    Also, the 3D projection you saw wasn't the UK first. The gorillaz played a gig with their cartoon selves projected in 3D on the stage last year. It was in Wales though.

    It was the first for Kraftwerk and their new show - cool retro 3D glasses and everything!

    Ah right. I thought you meant it was the first time the tech had been used.

  • I was stood about three steps to the right of where Tour de France was being filmed.

    Sounds and looks amazing. Did you catch up with Chris (p.c)?

  • I sent Chris a text when we arrived at the velodrome but no answer was the stern response. :(

  • I want one of these now:

    I tried but the website wouldn't take my money. :(

    I'll try again later.

Howdy, Stranger!
