Daft Punk Live-Seriously this time.....

easily the best show i've ever seen. the BART ride back was no joke. there was only a 3 car train and enough people to pack 9 cars. i got so squished i started to have a claustrophobic panic attack and had to get off the train. took 2 hrs to get home :( sorry shasta

anyone go to either of the after parties? walked by asiasf on the way home, but it looked kinda lame and mighty was a bit too far to walk to right then. oh well.

i didn't go to the after parties.

i have to say that it was one of the best shows i've ever seen, too. the venue was perfect.

a group finally makes good on STADIUM HOUSE.

i kept trying to tell a friend that they were one-upping kraftwerk in just about every way conceivable, but he was having none of it.

no joke! the way nearly every element in the music was represented in the light show was just too fucking cool for words, i kept expecting to wake up from the best dream ever

:))

Oh wow!

This is the only reason I'm still excited for Lollapalooza this weekend.

And back from Seattle. While I will readily admit that I have not lived a "full" or "good" life, thus making the bar a little low, that show was easily one of the greatest things that I have ever, ever seen. The people who get to see this show are some of the luckiest people in the world. WOW was basically all I could come up with afterwards.

Clay OTM OTM OTM.

The interview in the latest (or possibly last month's, bookstores around here are kind of apathetic getting magazines in stock on time) Fader confirms that yes, they are filming these shows and plan to release a DVD. Yay!

THAT WAS SO AWESOME

all this wow talk is really making me wish i'd gone to see them in Hyde Park

you can see me and jaxon and mrs. jaxon in that picture!

during the encore they dropped in the Chaka Kahn/Stardust "Music Sounds Better With You" loop.

I noticed that, Steve! I drop that same loop into my ableton sets occasionally. I was really hoping they'd pull out the whole song to end it. NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING JESUS CHRIST.

OMG I'm so excited for the Coney show I might actually eat a Coney.

get a corndog. i don't know why people eat hot dogs when corn dogs are available.

I saw them at the Greek and it was amazing. Stupefying.

Afterwards I felt as though ten fuses in my brain were blown. I had friends asking me "how was it?" and I couldn't explain it.

Now they just need to make another great album. The songs from Human After All were great in concert, much, much better than the album experience.

buy it use it break it fix it

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

write it cut it paste it save it

Made a gif out of images from some guy who was in the rafters at the LA show (not entirely successful, but fun - it's also big, sorry)

haha, nevermind

you can flickr .gifs (i think, or at least you used to be able to)

I was using photobucket, I think ILM might not be allowing the images because of their size.

woah, there were camera people there?

we didn't get those side screens with the close ups. it looks like the venue was bigger though.

At the LA gig there were serious cameras and omni-directional mics

Should I go to Montreal to see them again?

I was thinking about spending a few days out there. and the show makes it seriously tempting.
maybe this time I won't end up standing right behind a 6 ft tall guy as well.

I don't know why I keep coming back to this thread, other than to remind myself that ten years from now, next time they tour the US, I need to go see them.

I don't know why I keep coming back to this thread, other than to remind myself that ten years from now, next time they tour the US, I need to go see them. torture myself.

Daft Punk was so good that I can't even remember what my previous favourite show ever was. It's so good, you'll happily lose your memory.

That was one of the single best things I've ever seen.

Gaaaaaaaaaaawd.
Are there any negative comments on this thread?

They're playing here in Chicago in a few days, and of course I'm going to be out-of-town, GAWD!

biggest negative comment i had was all the douchetards wearing Daft Punk shirts to the concert.

this thread has me so pumped for toronto, in a week. also relieved in that i'm dragging some friends along who are daft-curious at best, and i convinced them to shell out $$.

A friend that I dragged to the show that I had talked into it was pretty sour before the show, hating the DJs etc. He mostly wanted to see the Rapture. His first comment after the show was like "OKAY MAN SO WHICH DAFT PUNK ALBUMS DO I BUY TOMORROW MORNING FIRST THING"

hahaha GOOD. all good portents. still, i will buy back-up drukgs. migod i can't wait now. tec-nol-o-gic bowm bowm bowm bowm ba-bowm bowm bowm tss...

all this wow talk is really making me wish i'd gone to see them in Hyde Park

Or when you could have come over to Dublin, seen the gig and generally gone on a mad one... Ah well :)

so not helping

Oh dear. I'd hate you to think I was gloating. About getting to see them. Twice. Compared to your never.*

*This will teach you to thrash me at scrabulous!

well i have seen them twice but that was ten years ago

god damn it come to australia you robot goons

OTMFM.

Daft Punk fans are creative.

Daft ruled Lollapalooza, as if there was any doubt. I think I also saw Bangalter afterwards at a party, but can't be completely sure.
