Now she's a big success, I want to f_k her again. - These are the words of the famous soundcheck of this concerts.
There weren't many changes to the arrangements in this concert. The bridge part in Computer World got shortend because they always did the mistake where they anticipated the chorus earlier in previous concerts. Before playing The Model, Ralf said "Jetzt geht's weiter. - Now it continues." Back in the old days of Kraftwerk there was a long interval between the live songs because they had to prepare the settings for their instruments (pre-90s) or load up the project files of their songs (1990 - 2002). He obviously didn't sing that line from the soundcheck again in The Model as it was only meant as a joke between the Kraftwerkers themselves. The show went almost flawless. Only in Radioactivity mistakes were made by Fernando. Other than this, there's nothing special about this concert, but there are more interesting facts about the soundcheck (youtu.be/j4jj_egpCJI?t=4687). In the soundcheck of Pocket Calculator, Ralf called Fritz "Fritzchen". It's a weird nickname because it sounds infantilizing, but it sounds much better than Fritz' actual name "Friedrich". Ralf calling him like that shows that Fritz is a very loyal member to him and that he gave Fritz a lot of autonomy in the band because of that. The fact that Fritz did 60% of the work in The Mix proofs that. Together with Fritz' friend Fernando who he knows from the Robert Schumann Hochschule, Kraftwerk was a little bit like "Fritzwerk" at that point.

Special thanks to Ren Fuchsfein and NAOKIKASUGAI1 [1] for uploading the 3 sources. As the main source I used Ren Fuchsfein's source. It has a sharp sound, but with a lot of reverb which gives it an A- quality. Unfortunately, some of the songs are missing, so I used the A/A- and the B+ source from NAOKIKASUGAI1 to fill the gaps. The problem with the A/A- is that it has good sound quality which got ruined by the crispyness that shows up after Computer Love degrading it to an A- in later songs. I still filled MNS' gap with this source because the B+ source has a loud white noise and a bit of a weak sound.
[1] = His sources got deleted.
