set list:

1) kling klang/vocodor intro
2) Man Machine
3) Planet of Visions
4) Numbers
5) Computerworld
6) Tour De France
7) Vitamin
8) Autobahn
9) Computer Love
10) Showroom Dummies
11) Radioactivity
12) Trans Europe Express
13) Metal on Metal
14) The Robots
15) Boing Boom Schak/Music Non Stop

alot was mixed differently, different visuals, and a great setlist given the amount of time they had. Was hoping for Neon Lights and Pocket Calculator, but we got computer love!!! Them to Portishead to Prince was simply amazing.

They kicked my head in, I know that. WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

[Todfilm]

My favorite part of the Kraftwerk set was seeing all the little kids scratching their heads, wondering what was going on. Some left early. But those who stayed and finally "got it" realized why Kraftwerk is so amazing.

[Hawkings]

Thanks for the set list !
Pretty fun and interesting, I was so glad I caught it, not knowing to much about them. The Radioactivity was chilling, and the Numbers with the people/money was as well.

you're a part of that advanced, superior breed, aren't you?

I envy your intellect.

Amazing set. One of the best i've ever seen in my life...
Them to Portishead to Prince was simply amazing.

I totally agree with you. That was like a religious experience. Kraftwerk totally blew my mind. It was amazing and it was just non stop onward until the end of the night. The mainstage last night from Kraftwerk to Portishead to Prince totally surpassed my already very high expecations. Its pretty safe to say that was the best concert of my life so far.

[dahboom]

Back in the day kraftwerk was blasting in my boom box as I used to break dance. But I wAAAAAAY underestimated how good they would be live. I just that yea nostalgia, kool, they will be interesting. But whoa they were great!!!! I was popping and locking in the crowd! Sat nite main stage was clearly the right choice.

I am not 100% sure, but this may have been my favorite performance.

This and Aphex are tied as my favorites.

Followed by Portishead, Pendulum, Prince, and Roger Waters.

[Sokkerkid101]

Someone asked "who the hell is this? This isn't Portishead" and I as like wow thanks for wasting space. I knew all of there songs and I think it suprised a lot of people when a teenager knew more lyrics than them. I was so happy they played Autobahn, radioactivity and man machine. The robots in german is better but it was all good.

[fatbastard]

I don't know about being best performance of the weekend, but it was in fact a perfect performance. Wonderful set.

Speaking about people scatching their heads, I think Coachella may need some type of wailing wall for people to walk around as they talk on the phone. I counted so may people plugging their ear with their finger so they could talk to people during Kraftwerk, Portishead, Prince, and Roger Waters.

People need to work on their attention span.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I looked over so many shoulders at set times that had Rilo Kiley, Portishead, and Prince highlighted. Kraftwerk were everything I wanted, I fucking loved their set.

[PrettyRagdoll]

Seriously, Saturday night was brilliant. Kraftwerk started things off on a high note and it just progressively got better for the main stage. With Portishead and then Prince

[icymice]

I loved them!!!! made me so happy to see them live!

[Sokkerkid101]

Here are some Kraftwerk videos, I was right in front




















I have more...

[Vic Viper]

Showroom Dummies was so fucking leftfield for me, I'm so so so so happy they decided to play it as its one of my favorites and it's not one of their "mainstay" tunes.

[fatbastard]

Robots use to be the shit in clubs. No one knew who the fuck they were. It was like looking at home movies of their career.

[sassypants]

I had no expectations for Kraftwerk and enjoyed the show. The visual and sound worked well together and kept me interested. Plus - they got the crowd to cheer for ROBOTS. i'm glad I skipped Rilo Kiley to see them.

[kitt kat]

ahhh thanks for the setlist.

they made my heart all happy.

[microlovebeat]

the only reason i saw a few of kraftwerk's set was to get a good spot for portishead and prince. kraftwerk has got to be the gayest "band" i've ever seen. it takes no talent whatsover to press buttons on a computer. i'm doing it right now. should i be on mainstage next year? please.........they're weird as hell and i absolutely hated having to sit through that crap.

[paulb]

I LOVED Kraftwerks set... they were great! I had only heard a few studio mp3s before, and wasnt that into them, but that live show blew me away, and I wanna check out all their stuff now... I bought one of their shirts, and keep singing every 10min, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine......

[anonimouse]

my friends and i spent most of their set looking for each other. i only saw radioactivity and on but yea, it was pretty amazing. saw them in 2004 and this year blew that one away

Way to embarrass yourself as a complete fucking troglodyte.

Without Kraftwerk you wouldn't have been listening to Portishead, or any of the other undoubtedly shitty bands you're into, mongrel. Please don't come back in 09.

i love when people defend a band by claiming that a band a person likes wouldn't be around without the band they're defending. it's the easiest way to prove nothing.....

I love when people say that they love things that really irritate them, as if they're ambivalent about the whole situation. Problem is the situation exists because they have shit for brains and a leaky faucet for a mouth.

Go back to bed.

First of all, shut the fuck up.

Second...

I had never seen Kraftwerk before but I was very happy to be able to see them this year. I really loved the way they opened, it was just like, well no introduction or anything like that, it was just... There they are, lets play some music, with a giant red screen that kinda hit me outa nowhere. I loved Man-Machine, the vocoders were very strong and powerful in my opinion. It was a very cool experience, a once in a lifetime thing I'm sure, I'm glad I was there to see the reason why most of the bands I saw this weekend even exist.

Dude, they are gods

They were one of the original techno bands in the world, mid 1970's era, when they origianlly played, people thought there computers were so advanced that they could take over they world. They don't need to jam to get the crowd going, they just stand there and the visuals, sound effects, robots, and suits are what is entertaining.

or how about just say he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. For starters they didn't just have lap tops.
