Kraftwerk, London Tate Modern, February 8, 2013

Rather a long time after the event, I thought it worthwhile posting my live review of Kraftwerk at the Tate Modern (it was published in Uncut's print edition a couple of weeks ago). It was Trans Europe Express night, by the way...

Kraftwerk perform ‘Autobahn’ in full as London residency begins

Kraftwerk opened their eight-night residency at Tate Modern on Wednesday by playing in full their fourth album, Autobahn. Kraftwerk played a two-hour set that also included most of their best loved numbers. Those lucky enough to secure tickets for Kraftwerk’s first night in the London art museum’s imposing Turbine Hall were each given a cushion, a crib sheet on the band and a pair of 3D spectacles. However, virtually the whole audience stood to appreciate Kraftwerk’s impressive visuals, displayed on a massive screen behind.

The Who close the London 2012 Olympics Games

The Who officially brought the London Olympics to a close with "My Generation". Ray Davies, Madness and Pink Floyd's Nick Mason were among the other artists who performed at the Olympics closing ceremony. Beady Eye played Oasis' 'Wonderall' during the 'A Symphony of British Music' segment. Backed by a string orchestra, Liam Gallagher was joined by the athletes and the thousands in attendance in singing the 90's Britpop hit. It is the first time Liam has sang the track live since Oasis split up in 2009.
