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.

Okay, I'm leaving for Seattle... NOW!

Anyone going to the Seattle show on Sunday or going to the aftershow?
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 :(

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.

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
― 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

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.
― Steve Shasta, Monday, 30 July 2007 18:54 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

get a corndog. i don't know why people eat hot dogs when corn dogs are available.
― mizzell, Monday, 30 July 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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)

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.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 30 July 2007 23:32 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Steve Shasta, Monday, 30 July 2007 23:44 (sixteen years ago) link
At the LA gig there were serious cameras and omni-directional mics
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 30 July 2007 23:50 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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.
