Earlier this year, Kraftwerk completed an extraordinary nine-night concert series celebrating 50 years of Autobahn–which was composed, produced, and recorded by founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider in 1974–at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The shows garnered rave reviews in the press, a compass for what’s in store for the MULTIMEDIA TOUR:
“...the central appeal of an in-its-entirety performance is getting to sift through the deep cuts, and ‘Autobahn’ had plenty to offer beyond the still delightful 20-minute title track. The meditative, two-part ‘Kometenmelodie’ offered a lovely little breather amidst all of the kling und klang of the heavy-hitters, while ‘Mitternacht’ felt like something out of a horror movie, with video screens zooming in and out on an unnervingly placid nocturnal residential scene.” – Variety
“In the 50 years since Kraftwerk released Autobahn, which opened this residency on Tuesday, the alchemy they discovered – coaxing beauty and emotion from cold, lifeless technology – has filtered down through hip-hop and post-punk, synth-pop and ambient music and more.”
“Looking like something out of the TRON movie in lit-up circuitry-embellished jumpsuits (which was fitting considering the concert took place at a Disney venue) Kraftwerk presented a unique concert experience…You didn't have to be a huge Kraftwerk fan to appreciate the immersive color-changing visuals and robotic flair of the show…” - Los Angeles Magazine
“...a sophisticated night which showcased a band that has disrupted modern music more than anyone else in the last fifty years.” - MAGNETIC
