Notes:

Third of three nights at the Fox.

This was my 11th Kraftwerk show. This final Fox show was unique for a moment in "The Robots" when a pause took too long and the rhythm
went off beat. It was the first time I'd ever seen the band come that close to a train wreck, but there was a very quick recovery. Some
other notable events were some bass rhythms that were off in "Spacelab," while "Neon Lights" and "Airwaves" have a great keyboard section
by Ralf. "Metal On Metal" once again features amazing work by Henning and Fritz, and "A�ro Dynamik" has that fantastic loud ending bit by
Ralf. But my most favorite moment of the evening was the inclusion of "Ohm Sweet Ohm," which was so wonderful to hear again live. The
crowd didn't seem as vocal as they had been on the previous two nights and there weren't many clap alongs (there's a rather poor attempt
at one during "TDF �tape 2"), but the audience was still very supportive.

As with the previous two shows, I was once again near the talkers. This time it was a man and woman to my left and it was the woman who
kept on talking and talking. I forgived her constant trips to the bathroom (which caused phasing) and I am thankful their low volume was
nothing compared to the annoying talkers I had near me on Sunday and Monday, but this couple's gabbing created a low murmur that is noticeable
from the beginning of the show on through "TEE." They are at their loudest during "IMFTC," "Computer Love," "Spacelab," "Neon Lights,"
"Autobahn," a little in "TDF," the beginning of "Airwaves," "Intermission," "News" and the beginning of "TEE" (they left the show during this
song and the man spoke to me briefly as they passed by).

There is also a great deal of talking from people trying to find their seats in "The Robots," "IMFTC" and "Computer Love." "Neon Lights,"
"Autobahn," "TDF �tape 2" and "Radio-Activity" have a lot of noise from ushers telling people to stop blocking the aisle. People also talked
as they went by me in the aisle during "The Man-Machine," "Spacelab," "Neon Lights," "TDF �tape 1" and "Airwaves." And someone talked to me
directly in "BBT," enquiring about the vacant seats to my left. The new people who took those seats were relatively quiet, only speaking
during Henning's solo during "MNS" and for a little bit in "A�ro Dynamik." You'll also hear people briefly stomping up and down the nearby
stairs (especially in "Numbers," "IMFTC" and "Autobahn"). Someone kicks a plastic cup in the beginning of "The Man-Machine" and it sounds
like something gets kicked in "Ohm Sweet Ohm." And there's the sound of a key or ring hitting metal at the beginning of "Autobahn." And
at the end of the show during the standing ovation, there is the sound of me moving. It also seemed that with each night, the bass got
louder and louder. And on this evening, the encore songs suffered the most from the intense bass.

I taped the ambient intro and have included it. People talked through it, but it doesn't overwhelm the music and no conversations are clearly
heard (other than the ushers), so I felt it was okay to share.

I amplified this but did nothing else to the recording. And if burning to cd, the suggested split is between "Autobahn" and "TDF."

To make up for the anti-camera policy at the Los Angeles venue for the Catalogue shows, I took a lot of photos at these Fox shows and have
included a selection for your viewing pleasure. If you'd like to see more pics from the evening (and from the other two nights), please refer
to my photo set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kling_klang/ And just to mention, a person in the Loge (the front part of the balcony) stood
for the beginning of the show, much to the annoyance of everyone sitting behind him. A person complained to an usher who then asked the lone
dancer to sit down. So up until he was told to sit down, his body is blocking part of the stage in my photos.

Infinite thanks to G3 for the tickets, for the posters, enduring the lengthy trip and for everything. This was the final night of my KW roadtrip.
Despite the scary 1am visit by numerous police cars outside the hotel we stayed at and the luggage theft that occurred to someone who was sitting
only a few seats behind us on the Amtrak on the way home, it was fantastic to visit Oakland again.

Please support the band by buying their official releases and merch.
