Kraftwerk Beam Down Into Melbourne Captain’s Log Stardate 0812230830pm #REVIEW

by Paul Cashmere

I wasn’t quite prepared for the “strap in and enjoy the ride’ experience of Kraftwerk. I hadn’t seen them live since the Big Day Out of 2003. It was still light when they came in, in the tent (not the outdoor stage) and they were wearing suits. Someone at the time commented that it was like watching four businessmen in the Qantas Club sending emails to each other.

Voice of Baceprot Play One of the Most Powerful Shows of All Time for Melbourne

Melbourne has hosted some intimate early shows for artists who went on to major things. There was Radiohead at the Palace in 1994, The White Stripes at the Corner Hotel in 2000, Coldplay at The Prince of Wales in 2001 and Taylor Swift at Billboard in 2009.
