Kraftwerk (3d), Bord Gais Energy Theatre, Fri 2nd June 2017

Pinch Flat

I enjoyed the gig sitting in row c near centre so had a really good view. The 3D experience is great as furiosox said spacelab probably the best. Opened with computer world and then on to man machine,and showing my bias on the cycling clips from the Tour de France segment - loved the video on the screen and the prolonged opening track of this album track worked really well. Radioactivity also worked well withnore the video screen and updated sites of recent nuclear disasters.

Overall sound was good but yeah Ralfs vocals struggled a little bit sometimes. The vocoder sounded great. Managed to get a few decent pictures of the band, but video recording was strictly enforced - people went nuts during robots and security were batting people's phones down.

Overall enjoyed it first time seeing them but for whatever reason didn't manage to see them previously. Probably the best venue for this type of show.

You won't be disappointed it was an excellent show.

Brilliant show, unfortunately I was in the row with the highest number of weak bladders ever assembled in one place which spoiled the continuity at times. Could have been louder but I'm just quibbling really. Sensational.

Security were doing their best but there were so many dickheads with phones out recording songs which meant that security had to try flashing torches at them. This had the knock on effect of distracting people surrounding them from the show. Seriously, they're pretty specific about not taking phones/recording the show so why act the dick and ignore this?

Spotted in the foyer last night, think they were sitting in the front row too.

Kept missing beats, as if a cd was skipping. Wasnt constant or regualr, but happened about 5-6 times in aerodynamik alone.

Volume was all over the place as well...at one point there only seemed to be sound from one side of the stage for about 20 secs

I'm assuming he's talking about the two guys who dressed up as Kraftwerk with the red shirts and black ties.

Thoroughly enjoyed that show last night! Sound a bit patchy and a few dud beats but what an experience. Felt a bit weird not standing but feck it.

A good few empty seats around me in the stalls even though the show was sold out. O/H was waiting outside for me and said a couple rocked up at 9.15pm expecting it to be only kicking off..... :rolleyes:

Any more reviews of last night from anyone?

Bar the earlier complaints about the sound, i did enjoy it. They are absolute legends, and to see them (well, Ralf) in the flesh is one to tick of the list. The 3d was cool, but did kind of give me a headache towards the end.

Managed to get a cheap ticket on DoneDeal the day of the gig after seeing all the reviews on here, was unbelievable show, saw pictures etc but thought was amazing as I'd never seen a 3D show like that before!! Would definitely see them again
