Buenos Aires, Argentina - Obras Sanitárias Stadium - 12.10.1998 
 photo by Mauricio Gonzalez Subject: Re: (kw) Kraftwerk in Buenos Aires Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1998 15:08:50 -0300 From: Osvaldo Dalzotto <osvaldo@clearhouse.com.ar> Soy Osvaldo, de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ayer estuvimos en el recital de KW !! Como debés haber leído a través del mailing list, pudimos encontrarnos con Eduardo Avellar, Claudio Falaschini de Mar del Plata con sus amigos y Mauricio Gonzalez de Chile. Nos reunimos todos a eso de las 17:00 hs, compartimos una Coca y de allí nos fuimos para el Estadio Obras. Fue muy lindo ya que nos sacamos juntos. A eso de las 17:30 ya estabamos haciendo la cola. El concierto tenía que comenzar a las 20:00 pero se atrasó y comenzó a las 20:35 y duró 1:50 horas. Según Eduardo, quien conoce bien la duración de las canciones en otros conciertos de KW, las de Buenos Aires fueron más cortas. Tocaron las dos canciones nuevas. Hubo un error entre dos canciones. En este momento no recuerdo cuál tenían que tocar (creo que era Radioactivity, después te digo) pero ellos se equivocaron y se escuchó el comienzo de NUMBERS ! Inmediatamente los 4 empezaron a tocar todos los botones de la gran consola y después de un rato empezó la canción correcta. La lista de temas - hasta donde yo recuerdo - es la misma que en Tokyo. El Estadio reúne a unas 5000 personas y calculo yo que estaría en un 85% lleno. Creo que se esperaba mucha menos gente, pero por suerte estuvo bastante concurrido !! Espero KW haya tomado esto en cuenta y vuelvan alguna otra vez. Como creo, es su costumbre no dijeron ni una palabra, ni "HELLO", ni "THANKS" ni "GOOD NIGHT", sólo tocaron sus teclados y consola. De todas formas la gente saltó y bailó al compás de cada canción con muchas ganas. Sobre todo en Radioactivity. Yo, particularmente, me comuniqué con la radio que los auspiciaba (Energy Satelital) para que me digan en dónde se hospedaban pero no nos permitieron saberlo, así es que no pudimos verlos ni antes, ni después del concierto. Tampoco hubo publicidad en televisión. Publicidad gráfica hubo sólo en los locales de LEVI'S (también lo aupiciaban) en donde se podía ver un poster con la imagén de línea de ellos en Music non Stop. Lo mismo en tamaño más pequeño del cual Mauricio pudo obtener varios ejemplares. Está bastante linda. Después sólo se podía escuchar la publicidad en FM Energy Satelital (que también estará disponible pronto en Internet). Después del concierto fuimos todos a comer pizza y nos despedimos a media noche. un abrazo Osvaldo
Subject: Sanitary Werks - Argentina 1998 + offtopic + thanks Subject: Buenos Aires Kraftwerk concert Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1998 16:28:58 PDT From: "KZWLEH D. DISCORDIA" <kzwleh@hotmail.com> Hello, I had been one of the lucky people who was able to saw Kraftwerk live two days ago in Buenos Aires at Obras Sanitarias Stadium... Other 4000 people where there (according to the local press) They have played for more than two hours (maybe two and a half)... The stage had four cinema screens and lots of computers and synths... and of course that the robots with their faces appeared on the song "The robots" (and the Kraftwerk crew left the stage leaving the robots dancing alone one that song) The show started with with "Numbers", then "Computerworld" and I can´t remember the order of the other songs... but these ones were performed (I may be forgeting one or two, but I´m sure that I´m not listing a song that wasn´t performed): -The man machine -The model -Trans Europe Express -Tour de France -Music non stop (It was the last song) -Radioactivity -pocket calculator (performed using small "calculators" instead of the big synths) -Autobahn ...Hmmm my memory stops there The show was Great... I think that both ralf and florian have almost smiled at the audience once... hehe...

RE: Kraftwerk 1998 Tour Reports 
photo by Mauricio Gonzalez From: "Claudio Falaschini" <claudio@playagrande.com> Subject: (kw) Buenos Aires 1998 Koncert - Argentina Hi Werkers!! I'm back to my city (Mar del Plata, Argentina) after the most important musical/multimedia experiencie of my life. Kraftwerk was here in Argentina! I cant believe it yet. The perfomance was incredible..... the audio-visual explosion inside my mind.... feeling the bass drum kicking right in my chest... Wow! Thanks to Eduardo (Brasil), Mauricio (Chile) and Osvaldo (Argentina) for their friendship, i feel very comfortable with they and with the other 5 "non-list werkers" of the "Argentine Crew of Alto Palermo" :) (Bettina, Eduardo Encinas, Ricardo Ruiz and brother, Brother of Osvaldo). Ours friends took many pictures and it will be available soon, i hope (I offer xxx Mb of web space for it - mail me). A funny thing...hey guys! what happened before Radioactivity?? Wrong button?? :)) The story is that in the place of the "Radioactivity" starting synthetic voice, we heard the "ein, zwei, drei..." robotic voice of "Numbers" a few seconds :-))) The Man Machine is more man than machine, after all. LOL The Robots ..fantastic!! Was an impact to me the message of the technology and machines singing and performing for us... a subliminal message. The robots danced very well :) and the lights pointing to they make the all scene shocking and unforgetable for me... well, my friend Eduardo Avellar told me that, for him, the Florian robot was slighty out-of-sync with the others... i didnt notice it. And also my wife told me "hey! there are something wrong! The Florian Robot haves hairs and Florian haves no hairs! .. They must correct such thing! LOL" The argentine fans (3000-3500 ppl in Obras Sanitarias Stadium) were very warm and "soccer minded fans" :) , (i say that for the style of the songs we sing during the breaks and before the show .."aguante kraftwerk, loco").. too much warm for the four cold guys there in the stage.... Hey guys! a least a glimpse or a "thank you" look could be nice for us, werkers. Only Florian in "Pocket Calculator" was funny as always, driving his controller and smiling at the crow a few times. In the last piece ("Musique non stop") the guys leave the stage one-by-one (Florian 1st, and Ralf at last) without any cheer or something like a "good bye or thanks....". I hope Eduardo of Brasil will give us precise impressions also, he knows a real LOT about KW and he haves better background than me for make a precise contrast of this show. (hey Eduardo! hace calor en Brasil? Por que no te cortas el pelo?? :-))))) But he will be busy until after the 17 Oct i think. This is not a complete report of Buenos Aires, only a intro and a ACK of my back from BA. I'm trying to put in order my mind and ideas and i'll be back with a more detailed comment and/or with more spots. Saludos! Claudio

The show (october 12th)included the same tracks like Brazil. It was amazing, but there was a little problem: the begginig of Numbers appeared twice (in the fifth track! I dont remember) It didnt have very much difussion, they didnt give interviews or anything for the local media. We have a recording in tape of the show... soon available at your request!!!!!! hernan
