Notes on the show: Kraftwerk return to the USA for their covid-delayed 50th Anniversary Tour. They chose this art museum in the middle of absolute nowhere for the 8th stop of the endeavor. I was on the left hand side against the plebe's barricade (there was a preferred barricade that was about as close as I was at the MoMA shows in 2012). I held my digital camera with my right hand and balanced it as best as I could against the side of my head as I didn't want any security goons to see me holding it. The show itself was sold out with the museum's Hunter Center playing host. It has a capacity of 850 so a small crowd. This was my 9th time seeing them since 2004 (the 10th being the following night in Boston). To me personally, this was nothing to write home about. Some tweaks to the music, the addition of "Tango" back into the setlist and "Non Stop" towards the end and visual adjustments courtesy of Falk. Beyond that, this tour is designed to appeal to the casual fan who may not have seen them yet but is familiar with the music. That's my two cents so come at me bros and enjoy the show!
