In autumn 1990 or 91 I was in Prague Czechoslovakia, a random visit as
someone had given me a few days left on a rail pass and I was in
Switzerland. I saw posters in Czech for 'Kraftwerk' in the city, so wrote it
down and on the day headed out with 6 hours to spare. Ended up at the wrong
place, finally got to this 60's modernist cultural center next to a big
river directly off the train, no roads, the station was at the edge of this
complex and I could hear the music, appregiators but can't remember the
song, I think it was the model...it had just started, and there was no one
anywhere, deserted, but with krafwerk echoing through all these concrete
passages and tunnels and chambers. I eventually found the ticket booth and
presented my money and the women there told that I had to have bought a
ticket somewhere else in the city and could only present it at that booth,
or something like that, like it had started and it was seated, I couldn't
work it out...so absolutely no entry...so I listened to a few songs through
this closed auditorium door, as it got dark in this monolithic concrete
civic centre, it was weird...like no audience noise, no rubbish, no
drinks...and then I got fed up and left feeling weird enough as it
was...never forget it though...just so wish I'd run in that door man.

In 2004, I had a ticket to see them at Coachella, and a plane
ticket to San Francisco to go see them at The Warfield.

A week or so before Coachella, I came down with adult Chicken Pox
and had to miss both shows.
