Did LA have three opening acts like there appear to be for the Seattle show?
― Scott CE, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 00:33 (sixteen years ago) link
LA had Ratatat (terrible) and then two DJ sets with SebastiAn and Kavinsky (who are awesome)

wait i heard that it was the same setlist/choreography as coachella...
hmmm...
spencer are you positive?
― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link
100% Some elements and sections were the same (1st half at least). There are also new effects and the whole encore is new.
― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 00:52 (sixteen years ago) link
I should say 100% positive. I rarely post anything I'm not positive about.
― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 00:53 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah there was a lot of similar stuff the coachella set, but this one was like a half-hour longer.
― max, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 01:47 (sixteen years ago) link
it was alot of the same samples and stuff of course. i dont think any two sets are going to be exactly the same. they are mixin on the fly.

damn what's all them wires about? xpost
― tremendoid, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 02:00 (sixteen years ago) link
that setup is actually surprisingly simpler than what I had imagined. A whole lot less computer monitor screens than I would have though.

psyched for friday!!!!!!!!

No computers it would appear, but they were using Jazzmutant Lemurs to control everything.

And Max, I was there on the Concourse as well, row 1 of section 7, which was way in back. Nosebleed, but I saw everything, and it didn't keep me and the gf from dancing through the whole set!

Saw them in Berlin a few weeks ago doing the same set. Lights around stadium in pix here look much better. We had way too much ambient light unfortunately. Cracking set, it was great looking up at stage and seeing them pump fists in the air. The masks and suit thing was incredible, so much better than last year! They also appear to be Jay Z fans as they were doing the pyramid hands thing at the end...

o man i can't wait. i hope the fact that i am in the seated section of keyspan doesn't totally suck.

thanks Spencer!

Hedi Slimane designed their outfits and took some live pictures last month. They are AMAZING: http://www.hedislimane.com/diary/day.php?m=6&y=2007&d=17

Anyone going to the Seattle show on Sunday or going to the aftershow?
I've put my name down for the free guestlist for the aftershow, but I feel pretty silly going to a club by myself. I'm even spending an extra night in Seattle because of this show (originally I was supposed to leave early monday morning)
― Jill, Friday, 27 July 2007 06:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I am waaaaay kicking myself over this. I can't even get some scalped tickets and skip work, because I'm in hot water over my chronic tardiness. Is Daft Punk worth getting fired over? I think it may be.
― The Reverend, Friday, 27 July 2007 14:44 (sixteen years ago) link
don't worry they'll probably tour again in TEN YEARS
― blueski, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Ya, I know. : (
― The Reverend, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:27 (sixteen years ago) link
They're worth it. I'm serious as cancer when I say Daft Punk is... good?? Arse.
― kv_nol, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:45 (sixteen years ago) link
those photos are super
― W i l l, Friday, 27 July 2007 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
how much are the tickets to these shows? i'm contemplating buying a 1-day ticket for lollapalooza, mostly just to see daft punk, and i wondered how that price compares to their solo shows.
― stingy, Friday, 27 July 2007 17:32 (sixteen years ago) link
it's $50 here (but i paid a little more because i lagged on tix).
― Steve Shasta, Friday, 27 July 2007 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link
what do you think - $80 for daft punk, lcd soundsystem, m.i.a., the rapture, blonde redhead, satellite party, etc
― stingy, Friday, 27 July 2007 17:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Face value in LA was $65, but they were going for 125-150 on craigslist and then up to 200 outside the venue.
― Spencer Chow, Friday, 27 July 2007 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link
damn! i guess $80 isn't too bad then. it just feels like a lot of money though. i'm not even a huge fan, but i've gotten the impression that this is something you don't want to miss.
― stingy, Friday, 27 July 2007 17:44 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay, I'm leaving for Seattle... NOW!
― Clay, Friday, 27 July 2007 23:25 (sixteen years ago) link
i was going to say "what after show?" but then i used this web site called www.google.com and I found this: http://static.going.com/thumbnails/329/wh524_1500_a0c2045297b0478cd7435f23dceeb641.jpeg
i'm going to the daft punk show, but i don't know about the aftershow. i have to be at work at 6 am the next day :(

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
― The Macallan 18 Year, Saturday, 28 July 2007 08:40 (sixteen years ago) link
the show at the greek was amazing
i'm gonna lie down now
― The Macallan 18 Year, Saturday, 28 July 2007 08:41 (sixteen years ago) link
stingy, I bought the one day lollapalooza tickets and I work until 4pm that day!
― t0dd swiss, Saturday, 28 July 2007 13:07 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― jaxon, Saturday, 28 July 2007 18:49 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― tricky, Saturday, 28 July 2007 21:39 (sixteen years ago) link
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

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, Monday, 30 July 2007 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Clay OTM OTM OTM.
― lxy, Monday, 30 July 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
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!
― Telephone thing, Monday, 30 July 2007 17:34 (sixteen years ago) link
THAT WAS SO AWESOME
― Lingbert, Monday, 30 July 2007 18:34 (sixteen years ago) link
all this wow talk is really making me wish i'd gone to see them in Hyde Park
