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

flight: 200-250
ticket: 80
halfway-decent hotel, 2 nights: 150(?)
misc (drugs, food): 100

hmm

i could kick myself for missing the tickets pre-sale today. ARGH.

max come to melbourne i would totally smoke you out.

haitch come to sydney and convince gaz to blow $130 on a ticket

i will swim across the pacific on the strength of good will and the backs of sea turtles

I might make it over for this! Tho Muscles + Bang Gang = DO NOT WANT.

bought my tickets for saturday vegoose!

So want to go still.

yeah. considering it pretty seriously

Muscles + Bang Gang = DO NOT WANT.

The show starts at 2pm, hopefully Muscles and Van She will be on at 2:45 and 2:15, hours before anyone bothers turning up. Bang Gang will presumably be DJing between all the real bands. Cut Copy + Presets + Sebastian & Kavinsky + Daft Punk is good enough to outweigh the other two!

i will come up if we can convince gaz. can we convince gaz???

i am thinking about this.

Bang Gang DJs are GREAT! Light Sound Dance is one of the mixes of the year and "Around the World Again" is awesome! Van She are great too, "Kelly" is very pretty.

Have you seen Van She live? I have twice, and while the recorded Kelly is indeed pretty, they need to get a lot more interesting before I'll go to a stadium show early to catch them.

(I bet we can't convince Gaz. I have extra tickets though.)

Haven't seen them live (not sure they've played the US), but honestly, having seen Daft Punk, I really don't care to see any more live shows by anyone else!

OOH! Live stuff up on their myspazz.

Err...one live track anyways, but GREAT.

Alive 2007 is, and I'm not exaggerating, ridiculously fantastic. You know that perfect sounding audience recording of that great Coachella gig that's been on the net everywhere? I've listened to that hundreds of times because it's so good. But I don't think I'm ever going to listen to it again, because Alive 2007 is lightyears better. It's like the bestest DJ set ever, and it's all their own material too! I'm tellin' ya, this is just ridiculously great.

I need this

preorder ?????

The encore, on the night itself: that is one crowd going completely apeshit. *shivers*

lol

After being underwhelmed by the mp3s that had been floating around, I picked up the 2 disc import and am listening on headphones and am absolutely BLOWN AWAY. Really surprised and am wondering if the leak was even real or was a really bad encoding. I'm hearing all sorts of things and the crowd noise is perfect now.

Also, the encore on the bonus disc is AWESOME - slamming!

Yeah, there were several lousy rips out there at first and I stand by my initial enthousiasm :-)

I also bought the 2-disc version, and yes, it's fucking great. Best live album of at least 2007, if not the last several years.

OK, I've just confirmed that the first mp3s I heard listed as Alive 2007 are not the same recording as on the CD.

It's not even the same show.

The coachella show from 2006 was being passed around as Alive 2007 for quite awhile. The actual release is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally, this is such a relief! Actually, the "Alive 2007" leak that I had wasn't anywhere near as good as the Coachella recording.

Where are you people getting the 2-disc version? I can't find anyone with it in stock, not even my Amazon preorder.

AHA (I AM INTERNET DETECTIVE)

If you are, like me, in the States, can't find the 2-disc version, and don't mind giving your email address (or a quickly setup Hotmail or whatever) to Satan, Wal-Mart of all people have it in their online store.

I picked up the only copy I saw at Amoeba Hollywood on Sunday night.

melbourne-ites, how many of you are going on friday? ALL my friends bailed on me, so I'm going on my own. Fuck missing daft punk.

I found my copy of the 2-disc version at the local Border's, it was their only copy though.

how's the book and the fotos in the 2disc-er?

I officially give up trying to look for the double CD version in local Belgian stores and am going to order it abroad now.

Virgin, either let us know it's limited edition or don't make a double CD version at all, if you don't like selling it.

Yeah, exactly- I was this close to full-blown panic mode when I realized Amazon wouldn't be able to honor a preorder I placed months ago and every other reputable shop in the goddamn world was sold out less than a week after the album's release. Or at least release the entire contents of the album in the non-limited format and confine the fanciness to the packaging.

I was assuming that "limited" meant "music industry limited" ie "not limited in any way whatsoever," finding out they meant it was a bit of a shock...

I just ordered it at amazon.fr where they did have it in stock. (.co.uk didn't)

how's the book and the fotos in the 2disc-er?

Honestly? Nothing too special. Nice, sold packaging... but the book is just a whole bunch of photos. No additional test or information, just tour photos. Nice tour photos, but really nothing you'll do more than flip through once.

test = text

If you're just looking for the music and can skip out on the fancy packaging iTunes is selling the whole thing for only about $11, I think. And it's in the iTunes+ format, too.
