I enjoyed it immensely but I wouldn't use so many superlatives in my assessment - it was a great entertainment, like going to see
>the Rolling Stones play all their hits. Their lightshow was great -
very effective and well co-ordinated with the music - though
it did remind me of a Powerpoint presentation occasionally,.
i was saying the exact same thing to alex....albeit with bass :)
Hutter was the most animated of the four - he tapped his leg from time to time and a couple of times we saw a shimmy of his
hips to which the audience reacted as if he was Jimi Hendrix setting fire to his axe, even though he was more like William
Hague at Notting Hill. Ralf Hutter's vocal performance was unintentinally comical at times - he nervously put his hand to
his lips, everytime he ..err.. vocalised, giving him the appearance of Larry Grayson. I liked the costume changes - the
Robots were so cool and I liked the Tron outfits too - there was never any doubt that this was a spectacle to be enjoyred.
the vocal 'movements' were intentional i think and added to the performance.
the thing is tho everything is so minimal in terms of their physicality
on the stage that even tapping of the foot or movement of the arm or
even a slight glance to one of the other members of the band is
exagerated so that the crowd react like you say above :)
