re: your note. I went to a concert Friday that has a strict do-not-use-your-phone policy and it was nice. I'm not a big fan of Yondr pouches because of security reasons in Mass Shooters' America, but I do enjoy a strict policy where they will kick your ass out if you disobey.

I went to my first no-filming concert recently and it was so great. It was a band I’ve wanted to see since I was a teenager and it made it even more special to not have all the phones up

daft punk fans should get the guy who restored the 94 woodstock NIN show to work on this.

This was my first headliner I ever saw. My older sister took me when I was 13 to Lollapalooza and we both still talk about this concert to this day.

It was literally magical with the opening notes sounding just as the first drops of rain fell on an incredibly hot day. I don't think I stopped dancing during the whole show. I'm so glad they are releasing this!

i THINK i remember replying this to you in another daft thread (if you're the same one), but here's that Lollapalooza jumbotron feed!

But again, not a great representation of the show.

edit: omg, that's Thomas and Guy talking at the beginning with a crew member. They have an earpiece/mic inside their helmets to talk to eachother/crew.

Omg you are my favorite. I don't ever remember seeing this before but it's bringing back so many memories for me. This stupid robots make me so freaking emotional sometimes lol

Wow. This live album was so formative in my teen years. I listened to this pretty much every day for years. There was no way I could’ve gone to one of their shows at the time. Regret’s not really the right word for how I feel about never seeing them live, but I do kinda wish they were just a touch more cash-grabby and gone on more tours lol.

Daft Punk forever.

it's baffling that they didn't do another tour. RAM era was the time to cash in and an arena tour.
And it's not like they're doing a helluva lot on stage anyway, so i cant imagine its a gruelling exepience.
They could have done another simple, yet elaborate, light show, or had a full band to accompany them.

Still holding out hope that despite retiring from new music, the'll still do one more tour on around 2026/2027 to mark 20 years since the last tour.

I need to see them live at least one in my life 😭
