Kraftwerk - Tribal Gathering (live) 1998

[@espresso5512]

this is so underrated. Not many people talk about it, and also their neon glasses

[@ROBOTkw1]

The WERKing title for this song was "Umweltverschmutzung" [Environmental pollution]. They should officially release it in honor of Florian.

best gig ever of my entire life..In #1997, At the age of #26 I must have experienced what it has been the most extraordinary #live experience of my entire life. #Tribalgathering in the #UK was gathering all those tribes of dancers that were waiting to see/listen/live the first #KRAFTWERK concert since many years. Other great artists of that event I don’t even mention as a matter of respect, here. And #US, the former #UnitedTribes of the Underground and Progressive People were there to actually witness those HUMAN-TECHNO-GODS which had changed history of music and somehow our perception of reality since a couple of decades. And that was an incredible show. An electro-house live performance of all those amazing Techno-Pop classics such as #numbers, #computerworld, #radioactivity, #transeuropeexpress, #Robots, #Autobahn, #MusicNONstop The #ALL world was there to witness a futuristic vision of a retrofuture idea. The best of the best. The dream of the Italian futurists realized by some #Dussendolf gentlemen. Zang tumb tuuumb! Find the gig recording on online and listen to it with headphones #now The misery of this momentary lapse of reason #coronavirus TIME is gonna fade for a couple of hours. The #Radioactivity version was basically the end of the world as we knew it. Never danced more in my life. Jumping, really. Dreaming. Well, I also must say that only certain very oblique #Gods must know what the hell did I take that night. Lost everybody. Few times. Lost myself. Find myself. Spacetravel. MindSearching. TechnoTripping. WOW. At some point I found myself riding a horse somewhere in the fields with some unknown people. For real. We got a lift back to #London with some geesa that told me how great had been their experience at the gathering. They were policemen! yeahhhh! I didnt know I travelled with some exquisite police officers! I didnt know many things back then. And I dont know shit about fuck right now as well. Keep Safe. And keep using your own brain, too.

I guess this was one of a few demos intended to become the Expo 2000 song. This was the only real life-sign of any Kraftwerk Activity until the actual Expo 2000 release and then 3 years later with the Tour de France Soundtracks Album. The Band really wasn't the same anymore after the departure of Wolfgang and Karl.

[@spinningsquare1325]

It was. Kraftwerk retained the awesome sound for these songs and the TDF + expo 2000. Karl bartos music is mostly terrible and Wolfgang never did anything after man machine anyway

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

@@spinningsquare1325 Well Wolfgang had his YAMO project with the album "Timepie" and it also had a pretty successful single release "I was a robot". Around the time his first book came out.

[@xwsftassell]

I was at that gig. It was fantastic, actually.

[@bodydave]

It sounds like EXPO 2000 ORBITAL MIX. Without main melody . I think it's this track

[@bodydave]

Of course a DEMO

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Yup, they also had a variation mixed with "Ätherwellen / Airwaves" at the beginning which then transformed into THIS unnamed piece here. They often played songs at Live Concerts for the first time to test the waters.

[@ClaasLorier]

I was there. It was 1997 #legendarisch

[@Retrogamingmaverick]

It sounds so much like a Sonic CD track! I can’t unhear it anymore

[@Andraki]

Why they never released this I will never know!

How to destinguish Tango, Luton, Lichthof, Tribal Gathring amd Umweltverschmutzung? Can some one please explain

[@spinningsquare1325]

Tribal gathering is the same thing ass nummweltvershmutzung and same as luton. Tango is a new continuation of airwaves that also was first hears in 97. Lichthof is that song with a lot of vocoder

[@soundmanhaven1]
