Show 140 - Kraftwerk - Live At Tribal Gathering Luton Hoo - 24 May 1997



A later gig from Kraftwerk this time, a full set featuring a previously unheard track - a track that's never been released since either. That track, in the files I had was listed as "Innovation" so that's what I've called it here but as Kraftwerk fans will know, it's been called several things over the years - guessing none of those names actually came from Kraftwerk themselves though!

This was a recording from the crowd - Radio 1 in the UK did record the show but have only ever broadcasted an edited version lasting less than 50 minutes - the show here, is in full, lasting an hour and 45 minutes, repaired, tweaked, EQ'ed and remastered to sound better than it ever has before.

Some studio toys removed some of the natural reverb you get on audience recordings and gave me more of the band's sound to play with. From there, it was out with the 30 band EQ, trying to give you more of the sound experience of being in that tent in front of Kraftwerk over 20 years ago!

You can download all of this improved recording for free HERE as one 320 kbps MP3 file.

Or, if you would like to support the site with a small donation towards storage subscription and internet costs, in return you can have the remastered show as separate, properly tagged MP3s or even lossless files in FLAC format; head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can do this.

Either way - enjoy the show!

News - Link Changes

Hi, the links which have been going through a 3rd party pop up ad service for a few months are going to be removed in the near future - given the lack of control I have on ads (none, actually), its been annoying to hear some people have had issues downloading, virus alerts, porn ads and so on.

Given how little revenue makes it to me from these clicks anyway (a tenth of a cent, per click), the hassles outweigh the benefits so effective this week, the links will start to disappear - the next new show, due shortly will not have the ad link, it will go straight to the file. And I will start to replace the ad links with the original file links (Shows 1 to 20 are already done).

This does mean the minimum requested donation of support will be going up. It came down from £3 to £1 for the separated MP3s when the ad links went live - this will now go up from £1 to £2 from 1 December. So you have just under 2 weeks to get any shows you wanted as separate MP3s for £1 each. FLACs remain at £5.
