After playing in Edinburgh two days before, the Kraftwerkers finally reached London. It was the 2nd last gig with Fernando Abrantes. There's nothing special about this concert. The live performances of the songs were mostly generic and the audience seems to be more quiet than they actually were because it's a "mixing desk" recording. At the beginning of Numbers, there was no sound. Ralf said "Reich weiter" shortly before Tour De France. He also played the string synth beautifully at the end of Autobahn and at the end of Pocket Calculator, he played the square synth like a guitarist. But that's not all. The singing quantization returned in Pocket Calculator, but Ralf doesn't do it often this time.

This is the second time I remastered this show. The recording was made at the mixing desk although the microphone was not connected to it which explains why the audience still can be heard and why the crowd sounds seemingly quiet. The sound is dry and high in fidelity, but there is some distortion, especially on the left channel, so, I removed it and recreated the stereo sound. I made the audio fuller and clearer with equalizations and reverb afterwards. There is still distortion left that can't be removed and unlike last time, I didn't suppress the distortion with EQs because it would make the sound weaker. The hi-hats sound weirdly thin in some songs and in The Robots and Robotronik, there's a fluctuation in sound fidelity. So, the recording still has flaws that are (almost) impossible to correct, but it sounds much better than my original remaster from 2022.
