That Kraftwerk video.....half-way through it I got the horrid flash of Jay_Z jumping out to do a rap in the middle to "modernize" it. UGH!!
Years back, when I was a radio DJ in Rochester NY, we did the co-promotion for the very first American concert by Kraftwerk. It was for the Autobahn tour but I'd been a fan long before that and had the earlier stuff. A pretty strange concert for the time.
Then again, I recall working stage crew for Devo back then as well. A strange gig at the time and cool to see their wacky gear up close.
A great guitar/record store (House Of Guitars & Record Archive) and two great radio stations (WCMF and WSAY) and a great live club/concert scene made Rochester a killer music city back then. Where else could you find a metal underground AM commercial radio station playing early Scorpions, Judas Priest at all hours of the day...and an FM station with it's own in-house studio doing live broadcasts with acts such as Robert Fripp, Gentle Giant, Journey, Brand X, The Grateful Dead.....
WTF happened to the music industry?
