Following the release of their 1981 album Computer World, Kraftwerk went on a tour that started on 24 May 1981 in Florence, Italy, and ended on 14 December 1981 in Oyten, Bremen, West Germany. The tour took place across Western, Central and Eastern Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

Equipment

[edit]

Kraftwerk spent the time between the production of The Man-Machine and Computer World designing a new stage setup, which would allow them to bring their Kling Klang Studio on tour.

Ralf Hütter had a stand containing three keyboards; a Minimoog, a Polymoog, and a custom-built keyboard designed to recreate choir noises. Karl Bartos used a custom keyboard which operated a Korg PS-3300 positioned behind him, and occasionally used a homemade set of electronic drum pads. Wolfgang Flür also used a set of homemade electronic drums, and also operated a drum machine designed by a Kraftwerk engineer. Florian Schneider operated the vocoders, played a Prophet synthesizer, and used a self built electronic flute.[1]
