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

favorite light fx:

1) tron suits
2) all white before encore
3) insane 3-D shapes in pyramid
4) human faces
5) first time neon lit up around the floor

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 :)

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!

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.

daft punk were killer, and i watched from outside the fence

also, robot rock is a great album

ok i can't stop watching that daft hands video. Too bad about the mistake near the end though.

unbelievable show

brooklyn is gonna be NUTS

that's awesome that you got to see it from outside the fence, deej. we showed up right at the end of satellite party and made it to probably 25 people back from the front of the stage. it was pretty freakin crowded by the end of the set, as i guess more people tried to push into that area. it was great being so close though, even if you could only really bob your head at that point. also big ups to todd for the rides after the show.

Keyspan Park is totally unsheltered, right?

Trying to decide whether to bring my ungainly umbrella tonight, given the forecast...

stingy: you did see bangalter:

DEAR GOD, I WAS BAPTIZED BY SOUND AND VISION.

I would like to further add to the (very unanimous - for a reason) opinion that Daft Punk is a live experience (I was at the Toronto show) that one rarely is able to find. It was truly an experience, and very much a spectacle rather than a concert, and that's just alright by me. And yes, heh, I was able to see the real Thomas Bangalter too.

i hadn't noticed that there are mp3s from the bercy concert all over the place - not as good a recording as those from last year, but pretty good all the same.

spency, that pic is insane.

I want to know if people frequenting this thread know that Tony Wilson has died and who he was. Thanx

I have an original pressing of the New Order "Ceremony" 7", does that count?

wtf Bimble. I want to know if your comment has a point, because outside of some sort of sociological experiment in thread-shitting I'm at a loss here.

Dance peoeplez, dey dont no dey history, mang!

spencer stop posting pics youre making me wish i was back there :(

I had a dream last night that Daft Punk played a free show in the Union Square subway station last night. It ruled. Unfortunately all they played was "Love Train" and it was only a dream.

I guess I feel asleep with that eHarmony commercial on.

I loved how it started quite understated with Robot Rock, just white lights nothing fancy. I was kind of disappointed already and then bam bam bam bam it just kept getting better and better with new effects. Truly awesome.

ahhhhhhhh dudes this show (in mtl) was th ebest thing i have ever seen

here is a 19-second edit of it shot on my bad cameraphone:

that was like reliving the best 19 seconds of my life

that was like reliving the best 19 seconds of my life

i saw them in toronto a few weeks ago

it was the best night of my life

Bimble, do you know who merv griffin is you shallow callous pathetic mote?

Coney show was pretty much the highlight of my year…

I had a job in the '90s where I could pretty much go to any show in NYC I wanted to for free, and I ended up, as it was the Chems/Prodigy/Fatboy "dance music is taking over" era, going to a lot of those kind of shows. So, apart from the fact that Discovery is one of my favorite rekkids evah, Thursday night reminded me of how much I missed dance to music that I really like at really loud volumes…

and many of the people there, I suspect, were very much on board for the "dance music is taking over" era, or maybe they were aging ravers… a lot of the energy was similar to any kind of nostalgia-based, good ole days kind of rock show…

pitchfork says no dvd
I am not smiles time.

"pitchfork says no dvd"

FUCK FUCK FUCK

GOOOD..dfrgr56fuyd

From that pfork article:
"The Billboard article also let us in on a little secret: those dudes in Kanye's "Stronger" video aren't, as previously reported, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, but, rather, the actors from Electroma. Not quite "two bums in helmets," but still, tricky."

Maybe they're at home or in the audience during "their" shows too.

I had been wondering about that myself. Why tour when you don't have to?

that would be rad. some residents shit.
