The ‘90s were a strange time for Kraftwerk. They barely played live, released very few records, and ultimately appeared to be in a period of great adjustment as the rest of the music world finally caught up with their trailblazing ways. One rare live appearance occurred at the Tribal Gathering festival in 1997, which marked the first time the band had appeared in the U.K. in five years. Test Pressing have unearthed this superior live recording of the event, which is a direct radio rip and features seven songs from the performance. Check it out in the clip below, and feel the goosebumps rise as a huge roar goes up at the beginning when a familiar robot voice wafts from the stage.
