Just got back from the Kraftwerk concert in Toronto. Aside from being an
awesome show (Much better even than the 1998 show in Detroit I saw), there
were also three songs dedicated to racing: TdF new and old version +
Aerodynamik. All three had cool accompanying video, the new TdF having
contemporary video (mostly the same as the one on their website) and the old
version having vintage footage with the likes of Anquetil and Merckx.

So, after performing their new version of TdF, they went into a new song:
Vitamin - a tune about the galaxy of vitamins out there (can you tell
they're getting old? Another new tune is called elektrocardiogram...he he).

So, was puting Vitamin right after TdF a comentary or coincedence?

All of those songs are on their 2003 TdF "Soundtracks" album, which also has
references to other races in the liner notes. I just bought it last week and I
love it!
