Kraftwerk! hahaha are they still around, and at the Ryman, now that is funny!
For those of you who have never had the opportunity to hear kraftwerk, here you go. My personal opinion if that really matters, they are awful. If I had to sit through a concert I would go stark raving mad, or just sleep through it.
I "forfeited" my chance to buy Kraftwerk tickets when they played in L.A. at Disney Concert Hall a couple years back, still kicking myself. GO! Best birthday gift possible. Well, almost.
Mack- dude, I KNOW it aint everyone's cuppa tea. If I buy 2 tickets, my first choice for companion would naturally be my GF- but, I'm still struggling to get her to go see the new Mad Max. A trip to Nashville for dinner and a show might be enough, but- Kraftwerk CERTAINLY isn't her type of "music non stop techno pop"
Hugh- yeah, of all places the Ryman is definitely a strange choice... last time I was there I saw Bela Fleck and the Flecktones with Chick Corea and other special guests. I LOVE that place!
Didn't know they did that soundtrack, might have to look it up.
OK, decided against going. Had I bought tickets early enough, I'd feel OK about spending two Bennies, plus travel/parking/dinner/maybe lodging.
Overall, that day would have cost me the better part of $400. I can finish this post, then head to Amazon or some other online outfit and pick up all the CD's I desire for permanent addition to my collection and spend a VERY small fraction of that, and play them on my very nice Polk audio hi-fi whenever I want...
