Kraftwerk played at Helsingin Jäähalli, Helsinki, Finland and the event was sold out (about 4,500 people). Since this is their tour for their new album Tour De France Soundtracks, the show is a bit different from what I saw at the Enmore Theatre and the Big Day Out last year. Nice to see the Robots in action though. (Setlist orginally from the Antenna list via 313)
The setlist of show was:
- Vocoder intro
- The Man-Machine (animated graphics like back sleeve off the album)
- Expo 2000 (graphics from video)
- Tour de France 2003 (footage from video)
- Vitamin (animated vitamin pills)
- Tour de France (old Tour de France footage)
- Autobahn (record sleeves, footage of traffic and old car advertisements)
- The Model (footage from video)
- Neon Lights (footage of neon lights)
- Sellafield (text on screen)
- Radioactivity (radio-activity signs)
- Trans-Europe Express (old train footage)
- Numbers/Computer world (numbers/lyrics)
- It’s More Fun to Compute/Homecomputer (old computer graphics)
- Pocket Calculator (animated pocket calculator, Ralf has mic problems)
- The Robots (robots only on stage, screen shows footage of the robots)
- Elektro Kardiogramm (oscillator)
- Aero Dynamik (bicycle graphics)
- Musique Non Stop (footage from video, band leaves one by one starting with Schneider on the right, Hilpert, Schmitz leaving Hütter on the left to last)
Hütter, Schmitz, Hilpert and Schneider were dressed in dark grey suits with red shirts and black ties.
