1982-11-28 Zeche, Bochum, Germany

Notes

An unknown band member stated in Fachblatt magazine (translated): "Yesterday at the concert in Bochum something incredibly embarrassing happened to us. We had always hoped that we would once meet Kraftwerk, who could be described as our grandfathers of music. And now they were at the Bochum concert there as well, and we had the worst concert ever. Both my and Martin's synth played totally awfully and were permanently out of tune, and the evening went really totally miserably. And so we ruined any chance of getting sympathy from Kraftwerk as a result..."

A quote from Martin, found in Mojo magazine in 2012: "There was one time around the 1982 when we were using a prototype PPG [earlier digital synthesizer] live and it was very unreliable. Kraftwerk turned up to see us play somewhere in Germany and the PPG went down during the first song and never came back. It was one of the worst concerts we’ve ever played."
