Kraftwerk Blew Our Minds on Tuesday Night in Dallas, Even Though We Knew They Would.
Germany’s seventh largest city is home to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf , which has produced some of the country’s most celebrated artists, including Ralf Hütter, Kraftwerk’s founding member and front man.
Ratinger Hof, the club where Kraftwerk started in the late '60s, is now a restaurant. It’s a short walk from the Arts Academy and the four-piece band was inspired by the artistic hub. In 1974, professor and performance artist Joseph Beuys locked himself in a room with a coyote for eight hours over three days as performance art. With “Coyote” as the standard, an electronic music show with 3D glasses is not hard to fathom.
Anyone unfamiliar with a Kraftwerk live show would soon catch up. There’s nothing like it in music. Before the show, one buzzing Kraftwerk fan tried to explain it in the breakroom to a co-worker who’s never heard of Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk fans have a good idea of what to expect when they file in for a show: enthralling visuals and a sea of fans following one beat. Tuesday night's show delivered what they came for. Most of the tracks on their playlist were quickly recognized and appreciated by the audience: “Numbers,” “Electronic Café” and “Autobahn” got cheers from the first few notes.
