Notes:
Because I got a +1 for "Man Machine" the night before I was going to scalp for this show regardless, since I was in NYC for the weekend. But, I was lucky enough to get tickets to this event by my brother winning the twitter contest from rolling stones!! You have no idea how happy I was to win these, I screamed while I was at work when he called me to tell me. Definitely Kraftwerk's most famous album and the one that changed the face of music forever. There were a lot of people at this one. It was more packed than the night before.

The show was amazing. Absolutely amazing… I can't even explain it. The venue, the atmosphere, the music… All top notch. I loved this show even more than the night before! They played every single song that I would want to hear in a set (Numbers, Radioactivity, The Model, Spacelab, Aerodynamik) and I can now say that my life is complete for concerts. I have been fortunate enough to see a lot of shows in my life, and some very special ones. I am just happy that I had the opportunity to tape this and be able to share such an event with everyone in some sort of medium so everyone can enjoy.

The sound for this show was just as good (if not better) than the night before, and the recording is slightly better. Just because there is no one talking during the middle. Notable (at least to me) people I saw in the crowd for this night were Ewan Pearson and Casey Spooner. I shook his hand and told him I think "Odyssey" is one of the greatest electronic albums of all time (if you haven't heard it, check it out). Anyways, enough of my ramblings, enjoy this.
