In the electronic music realm, they have godlike status, but way back in 1970, German band Kraftwerk was just getting started — and now a video of their very first concert has landed on YouTube.
The band later became known for their techy outfits and their slick staging, but as you'll see, at this point they were still in hippie/rocker mode. Still, their trademark quirky sound is all there.
The line-up during this concert consists of Ralf Hütter (organ, tubon), Florian Schneider-Esleben (flute, violin, percussion) and Klaus Dinger (drums), and the four songs they perform appear on their debut album Kraftwerk.
It happened in Soest, a small town in West Germany, and the crowd shots are just as great.
