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!
