The final years of the 1990s for Kraftwerk were interesting. After the successful tour for the album The Mix (1991), Kraftwerk made a series of memorable performances across Europe, which lasted until 1993, with performances at small events and only returning to the stage in 1997 at The Tribal Gathering Festival (1993 - 2004/UK).
1998 they made presentations outside the main countries in Europe, going to Japan, the USA and for the first time in Latin America.
This recording at the Warfield Theater (San Francisco - California) is considered by many fans to be one of the best recordings.
And the year 1998 marked the end of the use of the classic (legendary) and analogue studio Kling Klang on stage. And the last tour using calculators =(.
However, they presented the public with three new tracks.
In this recording that I publish here, there is a gap between the tracks in a cut in one of them. This was the most complete file I found with the best recording.
If you have more details about this presentation, and if you have photos of it, or if there is any error here, leave your comment below. Other Kraftwerk fans around the world enjoyed finding out more about this event.
Oh my God
I am heartly sorry for having offended Thee
And I detest all my sins
Because I dread the loss of heaven and the pain of hell
But most of all, because I love Thee
And I want so badly too be good (good, good, good, good)
It's so hypnotic
The way he pulls on me
It's like the force of gravity right up under my feet
It's so erotic
This feeling can't be beat
It's coursing through my whole body, feel the heat
I got that burnin' hot desire
And no one can put out my fire
It's coming right down through the wire
Here it comes
When I hear them 808 drums
It's got me singing
Hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
I'm like, hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
Girls, they just wanna have some fun
Get fired up like a smokin' gun
On the floor 'til the daylight comes
Girls, they just wanna have some fun
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
I'm like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
The room is spinning
It must be the tanqueray
I'm about to go astray, my inhibition's gone away
I feel like sinning
You got me in the zone
DJ play my favorite song, turn me on
I got that burnin' hot desire
And no one can put out my fire
It's coming right down through the wire
Here it comes
When I hear them 808 drums
It's got me singing
Hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
I'm like, hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
Girls, they just wanna have some fun
Get fired up like a smokin' gun
On the floor 'til the daylight comes
Girls, they just wanna have some fun
I know, I know, I know I shouldn't act this way
I know, I know, I know good girls don't misbehave
Misbehave
But I'm a bad girl, anyway
Forgive me
Hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
I'm like, hey-ey-ey-ey-eh-ey
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
Girls, they just wanna have some fun
Get fired up like a smokin' gun
On the floor 'til the daylight comes
Girls, they just wanna have some fun
Like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
I'm like a girl gone wild, a good girl gone wild
David Byrne has a long history of staging elaborate live shows, often with a sprawling cast of musicians, highly choreographed dancing and unusual instrumentation. So when we learned he wanted to have more than a dozen performers at the Tiny Desk, playing everything from cello, saxophone and marimba to a Brazilian timbau and zabumba (not to mention various guitars and keys), we weren't sure we'd be able to fit it all in.
It turns out his latest tour, for the album Who Is The Sky?, is well designed for our roughly 10 by 11-foot space. Though Byrne and his band do normally spread out across large stages, the set design for each show is almost completely bare, without any cables or amps, and the artists wear or carry compact, custom-made instruments to make it easier to move, almost like a marching band.
It's cozy, but Byrne and his band, in matching, brilliant blue suits, squeeze behind the Desk to perform four songs, opening with the euphoric "Everybody Laughs," followed by "Don't Be Like That," both from his new album. They also perform two Talking Heads songs: "(Nothing But) Flowers," from the 1988 album Naked, and a show-stopping version of "Life During Wartime," from 1979's Fear of Music.
It was a bucket-list performance for the Tiny Desk. Afterward, as the rest of the band and crew dispersed, Byrne hopped on a rented bike for a solo ride through the District on a beautiful, fall afternoon.

O dia 12/01/1963 concentra mudanças simultâneas em Geopolítica, Sobrevivência nuclear, Tecnologia espacial, Cultura POP e Liberdade de expressão. Poucos dias do século XX carregam essa densidade histórica e foi neste dia que nasci por volta das 17:00. Segundo minha mãe eu era um bebê enorme pesando quase 5 kilos sendo o primeiro homem nascido aqui em Araçatuba.
