Note (fbauer):
In February 1990, for the first time after the Computer World tour, Kraftwerk returned to the stages in a small secret tour through Italy
which is also known as 'Pre-Mix Tour' because they were testing what their then new mixes for their old songs that would released
on The Mix album in the following year. However, most of the songs differs very much from what you hear on The Mix,
even because there were also lots of improvisations, other effects and many mistakes throughout some songs.

Note:
Considering the video recording is up (http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=545854), I decided to upload the vinyl rip
I have found around the web. The sound is good, capturing what essentially makes this performance unique. There will be times where
parts are a bit overloaded and certain sound effects and vocals are more obscured in the background, making it harder to hear, though
that is common for a lot of Kraftwerk recordings. I'm not sure if this is the best of the four nights, since I haven't gotten to listen to the
others yet. Still, this is a performance that shouldn't be missed, given it's importance in Kraftwerk history. Enjoy!
[Fun Fact: The "1, 2" that Karl Bartos would use in his concerts would make a debut here.]
